Trump Admin. Claims U.S. Has 'Regained Control' Of Covid-19 | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
1000 American lives lost every single day due to Trump’s response. How does he sleep at night?
Never forget he called the virus a hoax that would magically disappear
well we know he doesn’t get to shag his wife before bedtime, so I guess it’s sleeping pills.
I was wishing Trump was the hoax to disappear, out of sight to prison
Really 10000 were you lied to
@All lies Wake up whomever taught you about counting lied, did you go to trump university?
Close to 8000 Americans die per day in the USA.
Donald Trump is virus it was made in China but it come from the USA it all adds up to it
Trump’s brain is smaller than a virus if he thinks he’s done a fantastic job protecting Americans.
If Trump administration has control over COVID-19, why hasn’t Canada opened its borders? It’s because Trump’s word means nothing to the world.
Piktor Music well said, Americans don’t know anything about Canada. They think we live in igloos.
@J if i had a choice between Canada and America give me Canada any day
Only for a Laugh ……….
@J So you have 1000 people dying each and every day- no end in sight- and you think we’re failing?
Do the Democrats really eat babies https://youtu.be/_xD8cPgcZ3E
The US has 4% of the world’s population but 25% the world Covid19 deaths…with 40+K daily new cases, projected to head towards 400k deaths by Christmas..in what measure do you have this virus under control?
In Trump’s mind. Plus, he has safety nets all round him. Daily testing ☑️ Money ☑️ Power☑️ secret service ☑️ball sucking administration, and cult☑️ We’ve gained control of the virus…
That might have something to do with paying hospitals $10k just to diagnose someone with “covid” (CARES Act 2020).
@robotron17 maybe you need to look into your “healthcare” system. And then start investing in education.
Watch trump flail he is running scared . I still can’t believe the ignorance of forty two percent of our country . We need to improve our education system fast .
Steven Arneson
Sadly adults 21 years and older in America have an average IQ of 97
And I would give an educated guess that over 90% of those folks are indeed Trump supporters.
The education ship has sailed. We went from the Tea Party to the Freedom Caucus to Trump in the blink of an eye.
The Republicans incorrectly thought they could control the mentally marginal, but they were wrong and now the tail of ignorance is wagging the dog.
My advice is to keep your passport current and your assets liquid.
“He’s running scared”?? Please share footage of what that looks like. And yes, there is a lot of “ignorance”, from people who claim to be ‘loving and tolerant’ yet HATE someone who has NEVER done anything to them or their family except give them more income if they work! OR ignorance that they say that Washington is corrupt and want change yet will vote for someone that is the epitome of what is wrong with Washington after spending 46 YEARS living like a leech off the taxpayer.
S, people who are loving and tolerant can easily hate a bully, a braggart, a bigot, a malignant narcissist, a cheat, a liar and a thief.
Trump is the most despicable character in the history of American politics and it’s always sad when someone like you, who lacks the critical thinking to see what sort of person he is, defends him.
@Robert Donovan agreed trump flat out down right simply needs to go & be booted from the white house for good
There is more than enough evidence to charge Trump with criminal negligent homicide of at least 100 thousand Americans.
In proving negligent homicide, the prosecution only needs to establish that the defendants knew the risks associated with their actions.
1. The defendant was aware of the risks associated with the actions that led to the other person’s death. ✔
2. The defendant acted, or failed to act appropriately in a dangerous situation, and that action or inaction caused the victim’s death. ✔
3. There is a direct link between the defendant’s conduct and the victim’s death. ✔
Trump has admitted to downplaying the virus from the very beginning. He has been telling lies to the American since January, and with lethal consequences.
Trump told Woodward he’s been minimizing the threat posed by the outbreak.
Trump: “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down,” Trump said.
Trump during February 7 phone call with Bob Woodward:
“It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than your, you know, your even your strenuous flus. This is 5% vs 1%. You know so, this is deadly stuff.”
Three weeks after that call, Trump told this lie to the public during a February 26 White House press conference:
Trump: “It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.”
March 19: Trump again talked with Woodward. He acknowledged emerging evidence that a wide age range can be gravely impacted by the coronavirus.
Trump: “Now it’s turning out it’s not just old people, Bob. Just today and yesterday some startling facts came out. It’s not just old — it’s plenty of young people,” he said.
May 6: Following a concerted push to reopen schools beginning in late April, Trump lied again when he suggested that children aren’t susceptible to the coronavirus.
Trump: “We realize how strong children are, right? Their immune system is maybe a little bit different. Maybe it’s just a little bit stronger, or maybe it’s a lot stronger,” he said.
Aug. 5: Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported over 240,000 documented COVID-19 cases in children at this point, Trump told this lie during an interview:
Trump: “If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease.” He adds “They don’t have a problem. They just don’t have a problem.”
Trump knew that what he was telling the American was NOT true. And at least 100 thousand American citizens have died because of his lies.
Allan Lichtman, the historian known for accurately predicting presidential elections, said that Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as “the greatest dereliction of duty” in presidential history..
False, interpreting the law to suit your bias. I stopped reading about 25% in. It is garbage. You also fail to acknowledge chain of command, presidential powers and constitutional reach, ignoring state responsibility.
The rest from what I can tell is the interpretation of the chain of events based on a taped interview with Woodward. Releasing the tapes when he did, one could say that he counted on memories of some being short, disdain being fueled and limited attention to detail day by day as this played out and the actions being taken acknowledge, even Democrats precious Fauci disagreed. Spread this far and wide though. You are all losing support for your own party and do not see it.
Define act…Define conduct. Then you move to establish negligence based on words spoken, along with opinion based examples of decisions made that had scientific support, even though some disagreed. Dates are important when considering what was said, even why it was said, but plays no role in negligence if actions being taken are appropriate. I would say now, a majority knows the actions being taken were. Based on Fauci’ s and the C19 teams own words and the actions taken that motivated a response not seen in decades. The only thing you managed to do is state a case for why a few Governors should be investigated for negligence. They failed to abide by the national guidelines set forth by the team. EARLY guidelines. If you think people in New York etc. who lost their loved ones in the care home disaster do not know who is to blame through negligence, then you have not been listening to the ones who speak. Your turn. (I came back to finish reading, I thought I owed you that. You obviously spent some time)
Maybe remind Trump about his precious stock market, which is crashing because of concerns that covid is spiking upwards around the world and we never got a handle on the 1st wave.
Bravo2_0 yes, if you think the WallStreet and international community and stores are going to be in the middle of this? No, they are intelligent, will discreetly pull out and go elsewhere.🦠
From a distant shore.
This latest claim from the mobsters posing as an administration suggests their feet are treading the same Earth as ours but their minds are parked in a garage orbiting Pluto.
Mobsters and space cadets… what a dangerous, deranged and delusional lot.
MAGA 2020 🇺🇸
I would have to disagree about where the Trump teams’ minds are. Their excuse for a mind seems just below the scum on a reptile’s belly to me. There supporters are much worse.
LOL, regained control? When did we ever have control? Was I asleep?
trump dose sleep he twetes
IM FROM CANADA MY HARTE GO OUT FOUR ALL USA
Before it was a thing? Who knows what goes on in the mind of the Orange Orifice? All we know for certain is that it never has anything to do with reality. VOTE!
Biut haven’t a facist dictator who will take control but no2 your saying he hasn’t taken control of anything
200,000 DEAD
” DON’T PANIC , DIE IN A CALM ORDERLY FASHION ”
– DJ TRUMP
200,000 GOOD AMERICAN REASONS TO VOTE 🇺🇸
@John Swo That is my point. I am conservative and Trump is the worst person we could have picked.
@the TELLER1
Example of Trump, just yesterday, and why the media goes after him.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHnUAgcdMig
Trump is the president of the United States. The US is country of immigrants. Trump is a throw back to the 1950’s and 1960’s segregationist times.
@Redridge07 and here is joe bidens shooting himself in the foot quote: we can only relection trump. We choose truth over facts. China is gonna eat our lunch.
200 million Americans have died.
150 Americans have died of gun violence since 2007.
Poor kids are just a bright and just as talented white kids.
And these are just a few things he has said that amount of negative media coverage about 5 to 10 percent
@the TELLER1 ok, the topic was Trump and how he is not good for our party.
@Redridge07 trump has done bad there im not a die hard trump supporter
Trump has the brain capacity of a fly. No wonder he’s understood by everyone at his rallies.
snoop alert is that your version of an insult… I mean it takes so many assumptions. I assume here that that you can afford to rub two dimes together and that makes you better than the nickel guy. Also if trump is your “rich idol” then I feel kind of sorry for you. Plenty of better people to look up to, the buck doesn’t stop at trump. In fact he’s kind of laughed at in America by the people in his “class range”. I guess you are just too smart and rich for people that don’t bow down to his excellence. Have fun in a broken country.
You sound like a little kid.
Rflmbo & can’t get up🤣
@Ash Roskell LMAO 😂😂😂😂👍
@Ray S no, not “liberals”, whatever the heck that is. This is simply about murder.
Initially I thought involuntary manslaughter because I thought he was ignorant of the severity of the power of a pandemic.
However when interviewed by Woodward, I heard HIS VOICE, IN HIS OWN WORDS, say waaaaay back in January/February that he KNEW just how deadly and dangerous this virus was. I’ve since decided he must be charged with the murder of countless Americans.
He lied and my dear brother died.
Sorry you can’t have huge rallies with no makes and then claim you are controlling it. No ma’am!
But you can’t have domestic terrorist groups like BLM dry humping statues yelling and spitting at everybody… That’s perfectly acceptable right?
People who were against trump said he wasn’t qualified or fit for the office……….this is what they were talking about! None of this should have happened….NONE!!!
Bazintrick Ways took me awhile to come to my senses also. Lifelong democrat voting Trump this time, MAGA 2020
Chiefs Kingdom that’s fine, you are allowed to vote for who you want. I mean it shocks me they now you choose to switch, but it’s your decision and that is the right of every democratic country, to vote for who you want.
@Chiefs Kingdom nope. Troll farm. IPs are cool.
Bazintrick Ways I think what really set me off is I am from Santa Cruz California and the Democrat party used to be about peace and loving one another. Now I made a comment a couple months ago that we should all live by the Golden rule and love each other regardless of race and my own people told me how self-centered anti-American racist that comment is and ever since then I’ve watch them turn into a hate group. I work for a local fire department and It seems all the people voting Democrat have just turned into haters whiners and complainers and distance themselves from everybody while the guys voting Republican are all one big family and get along and keep it positive. You can call me whatever you want but I want to live in a world of peace and happiness and if that makes me a racist then so be it
Chiefs Kingdom didn’t call you anything, you can vote for who you want. I have no issue with people demonstrating their democratic right to vote.
I just am have never seen such radicalization of both sides, but the violence perpetrated by the view on the right is insane. Let’s dismiss protests which have a different category dismissive of political sides.
What I have seen come out of some in the far right is insane. I mean to start Charlottesville was straight up domestic terrorism. We have Quaron, the crazy fascist groups doing things in the name of “republicans”. It’s insane. I mean I take whining over terrorism any day. It’s easy to say “well antifa”, but I don’t see them mailing bombs to the press in the name of a politician, killing people peacefully protesting. It’s an easy to say “well they are just as bad as each other” but in the end of the day, one side has committed consistent acts of domestic terrorism by loan wolf and orchestrated criminal organizations and militias alike and the other hasn’t. We are talking pre to current times. It was Charlottesville and the presidents indecency towards that situation and his lack of compassion that made me realize the days of a good Republican Party are long gone.
I mean vote for who you want to vote for and your decision is your decision along with your view, I won’t judge you for any of that or it would make me a hypocrite. It’s more that I’m a little disgusted that we equate irritating people to the far right extremism that has literally become the number one terror threat to America over the course of this presidency. It’s kind of scary.
I moved out of America a year ago and I am
Happy I left, sadly so. I moved in pre trump and saw the country go down the gutter so I left and took a job in another country with better prospects. Had every opportunity to stay and decided it was not worth it, even though I wanted it to be because it was my dream to live in America. It’s a shame it went so downhill in four years.
Trump is a NOOB who barely has control over his own diapers, let alone a pandemic.
it’s Sleepy joe with the full diapers, ya dickhead
@Adi-LMNOP Isn’t Trump the POTUS, juvenile name caller?
MAGA!
😇❤️🇺🇸👍
@J M M Thank you mr. helper, now you can run along to your soytifa breakfast meeting
Queen james, This is MAGA Country
Divided and weakened, Trump failed America…
In Trump’s own words, he is responsible: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump Nov 8, 2013
Leadership: Whatever happens, you’re responsible. If it doesn’t happen, you’re responsible.
Yet Trump supporters really believe Trump made America great again during his first 4 year term. My simple question to that is, can it be proven? Plain and simple. Can President Donald Trump prove to our nation and his brainwashed supporters that he has in fact made AMERICA GREAT AGAIN?
@Jay Ritch Using logic, since they are still saying MAGA, it is just another failed campaign promise.
Trump supporters will never see their president as a failed leader. In their minds he’s made America great again. How nice. That being the case, where is the proof with the Coronovirus still in full swing. Trump’s original statements about it wasn’t in the direction of making America great again. If you’ll recall, he told his supporters at one of his rallys, “the democrats have a new hoax, the Coronovirus”. And his fans laughed along with him finding it humorous. They’re not laughing now, are they. But they still refuse to see Donald Trump as a failure. Unbelievable.
@Jay Ritch To remain a Trump supporter you have to give up the idea that the US was great to begin with. In spite of Trump’s lies about the best economy the world has ever seen, his team’s tremendous response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the sorry condition of the US Armed Forces when he came to office, Trump has made the US poorer, weaker and sicker.
He is killing most of his supporters , rarely see a healthy body at these rallies.
Rarely see a healthy mind at these rallies.
You must be blind.
@Sam McCormack <--- The king of irony.
The only control Tubby has regained during this virus? Sheer stupidity from his supporters!
Just when you think Biff Tannen can’t sink any lower.
He just can’t stop himself lying, he’s an unbelievable rogue and America has trusted him with the nuclear codes !!!!
But you were ready to give the codes to a monster called killary who destroyed the country of Libya and caused the deaths of 700,000 Innocents in Syria
I bet he’s been given fake nuclear codes …. His cognitive isn’t up to scratch
In America, is the term Republican seen as polite for Fascism?
