    1. Never thought the truth would come so soon. As it always been, the murder shouted loudly to accuse others, while it is actually himself at the first place!

    1. @Xander for you to try and compare Biden to an Anti-Christ shows your level of ignorance…. and sad to say; you’re an imbecile! tDump is an anti-christ… he has shown us that over and over again. What does he need to do next? Fill gas chambers with children? Wait… they may have already done that but we’ve yet to find out about it. Our current so called leader is a fiasco and even Satan himself would be envious of his malicious callousness for humanity.

  1. When he says “Panic” the president is referring to the Stockmarket – look at the timeline he was more worried about the Stockmarket more then peoples lives back then.

    1. 3:09 putting the ban on China DID NOT remove the threat of a pandemic in america, trump’s inability to lock down the country and control the citizens led to it being the worse hit country in the WORLD! So you see a country where the virus start and they can control it and their lives and economy going back up again and then you look at america.. In the eyes of normal people in the rest of the world the americans are just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

    2. Considering the severity of the virus is say that the stock market is a pretty big thing to worry about even though kids your age have no idea how it works

    3. @Carebear -vs- Tha D if being stupid is having my own opinion then yea i got it pretty bad, but being a follower and not being able to make decisions for yourself and need someone to dictate your every decision in life, tell you that you’re hard earned money is being taken away to fund someone else’s idea and call it helping Americans when sure it is helping Americans but not the ones who need it. Id rather be dumb then buddy

    1. @Xander exactly. Not only that. He was saying the same things Trump was back in Feb/March. But the robots of MSM jut listen to what propaganda TV tell them.

    2. Вы должны быть благодарны за то, что у вас есть такой замечательный президент, как и у нас. Вы бы предпочли солгать своему народу, чтобы продвигать свои социалистические планы, вместо того, чтобы поддерживать настоящего великого лидера!!! Тrump 2020!!!

    3. Yeah because your political party was doing so much to prevent this virus despite it’s leaders given the same information he was

    1. Karen Walker
      It’s his hands playing the invisible accordion that drives me crazy. As for what comes out of his mouth, I press mute. Liars don’t change their habits. Once a liar always a liar.
      He should do the honourable thing and resign, but he won’t, so Vote him Out in November 💙💙💙💙💙

    1. Yea, but Joe said the same thing 21 days later. Hmmmmmm…
      “But I want to take a moment to say it’s not a time to panic about coronavirus, but coronavirus is a serious public health challenge.” Joe Biden Feb 27th
      21 days after Trump said it. This is already a nothing-burger and the Marxist sycophants are already on to the next daily, false flag. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO

    2. Вы должны быть благодарны за то, что у вас есть такой замечательный президент, как и у нас. Вы бы предпочли солгать своему народу, чтобы продвигать свои социалистические планы, вместо того, чтобы поддерживать настоящего великого лидера!!! Тrump 2020!!!

    3. @Sparky War It isn’t “more” lies it’s nothing but lies. Trump doesn’t lie. They are in a reality crisis!

    1. I think he’s been up on Adderall tweeting until 4 a.m. again; either that or staring at solar eclipses without sunglasses, again.

    1. @Tomandtob look further that was posted April 29th, they’ve since found further information into to whole matter, showing that the person (I can’t remember his name at this time) called it bar talk when questioned by the FBI.

    2. @Tomandtob Вы должны быть благодарны за то, что у вас есть такой замечательный президент, как и у нас. Вы бы предпочли солгать своему народу, чтобы продвигать свои социалистические планы, вместо того, чтобы поддерживать настоящего великого лидера!!! Тrump 2020!!!

    1. 88Gibson LesPaul yes, why even show up to his press briefings, just write an accurate story of what he is doing. Stop giving him the opportunity to broadcast his lies.

    1. I would guess most of this is a hoax, just more nonsense to hide the purposeful destruction of the west. The conversation should be about unconstitutional mask requirements and lock-downs, instead we get this garbage.

  2. “I didn’t lie” after openly saying that corona virus was a democratic hoax.

    I was mistaken with the ‘hoax’ part of my comment, however trump lied about multiple aspects of covid like comparing it to the flu and claiming it was under control

    1. @Eyrupt1988 Is the difference betwenn THE VIRUS being a hoax and the Democrats saying Trump’s handling of the virus was a hoax really meaningful?
      He DID make the “no worse than any flu” comment NUMEROUS times, especially on rallies and he KNEW it was way worse.

      All his excuses to wanting avoid a panic fly out of the window once his reactions and budgeting does not show ANY of the cognizance of how bad this was bound to be (airborne and five times more infectuous than the “normal” flu, two statements from the woodward tape) instead aiming totally on preventing the public from seeing it as even a problem…
      You do not avoid a panic by not taking steps to fight the problem, you avoid a panic by slowing down giving out the worst news while actually preparing to fight the problem as it arises… which he did NOT do. Thus the excuse is a lie.

    2. @Ugly German Truths Not really but I was just trying to be honest about what I got wrong which is what Trump and his followers are incapable of.

  3. “You ever hear the expression five times?” No Mr.President, we haven’t. Please tell us the “oranges” of that zinger of an expression.
