Trump Claims 'Worst' Of Pandemic Is Over As U.S. Deaths Top 58,000 | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. It must be exhausting being a trump supporter, having to make up reasons to defend their CHOSEN ONE.

  2. your “wartime pResident” has now killed more people than the very war he was too coward to fight in

    1. @Irving Martin He didn’t his intel people had been telling him since January he needed to take action. When he finally did ban flights from China about 20 countries had done it before him and the bans were total. Trump’s ban allowed over 40,000 people from China in the country. And I hate to break it to you, but Chinatown, San Francisco is in the US. So, it was as safe as any other place in CA. We’re stationed in Germany remember when Italy banned all flights from China. It didn’t work. The virus was already in Europe.

    2. @TheDesertsweeper All you have to do is look at the current polls. If we didn’t have the electoral college, it wouldn’t even be close.

    3. SithLordNefaar022 I support my president. So what other people do doesnโ€™t really affect me

    1. @Eeepee p I love your eloquence. You must appeal to Trump very well.
      Trump might have been “chosen by God” but if he was, it would have been to punish human kind, and in particular people like you, for their stupidity.

    2. Disgusting Coke … Honest? Ask the hundreds of contractors that he screwed out of money he owed them. How about you come work for me at $25 per hour. Upon payday your check reflects $7 per hour. When you start to complain and throw a fit my reply is โ€œsue me.โ€ If that doesnโ€™t sound too good to you and it should not, then you get a small taste of what Trump does. Heโ€™s a con man and nothing honest about him.

    1. @MANU ALEX No that says a lot about trump supporters. They’ve aren’t the average American, they’re trump supporters. More Americans voted for someone else besides trump.

    2. Ivy Iโ€™ve to agree with you there Ivy. I was just quoting rhetorically. But, either way, how on earth did he get elected? I mean, to think that heโ€™s occupying a chair earlier sat by the likes of Jefferson, Lincoln or Roosevelt, and here we got a clown with a toddlers eloquence and even worse mannerisms

    1. @Ed Rowland ooh you looked something up, very good. Maybe you should also look where all that money went. Stop being mad at evrything Trump does. Hes is far from the best president, but he is also not the worst. If he did nothing with the money, you would complain about that. If im not mistaken Americans get money now….

    2. Devo Trump is the worst president is history, stealing billions. I left America and live on an Island off of Spain where I play golf and go yachting all year. Trump has no effect on my life. I worry about America after he becomes a dictator through people like you. I am not MAD at Trump.

    3. Devo When Trump becomes a dictator, thanks to you and other cult followers, I hope you will finally see that YOU made a mistake and YOU are the cause of the problem. YOU are helping him destroy America, democracy and freedom.

    4. Devo He wants to become a dictator and thinks the Americans are stupid enough to let him. I am very happy to know you or anyone is not voting for Trump. I am not a Biden fan, the Democrats are not very good at picking potential leaders either, a am just against Trump and the damage he causes. Trump personifies to much hate, separation and anger. He supports it and uses it to his advantage. He changed political parties 5 times since 2009 when he ran for president as a liberal, then Democrat and now republican. He has no loyalty except to himself.

  3. Trump has been saying this for months. He’s been wrong every single time he’s made this claim.

    1. @Stephen Songy There are electronic typewriters, look it up. *Although with computers AI would not be efficient in one. My illustration is simply allegorical.*

    2. Whenever he says something we should know by now it’s the exact opposite and should prepare for the worst.

    1. @Eli Dicken we aren’t the dictators”comrade”! Your idiotic party are the ones that love and support communism! Lol

    2. @Gus Saunders “empathy” for who these slimebags. She is telling people to go support the chinese and go to Chinatown in late February! Duh! I have no empathy for biden who is a sexual predator and pelosi who will hopefully lose her speakership for good! Term limits she can’t speak because she’s drunk and quid pro quo sleely Joe is ready for the old peoples home.

    3. @RYNNY KITTY and your happy with chumpster bragging about the physical assault of multiple women. Some bias maybe?

    1. โ€‹@Nick H You can’t or don’t want to listen and understand. There are things that “common” and “intelligent” people “internalize” – and for which it is unnecessary to lie to themselves. For example: how to behave in a pandemic. But you just don’t belong to these “rational” ones- just like this crazy POTUS of yours and his disciples (still too many in the USA). I feel sorry for you and your country!

    2. @FazzBroGaming 777 oo,sorry I not perfect like you,anyway,,I just talked to family in California,,19 have died from covid19 ages 5 to 29,,no other medical conditions, so Mr perfect ,READ more. โœŒ

    3. Ed Rowland the people with bad immune systems should protect themselves more, the people who I think should be killed off are the ones who arenโ€™t taking this pandemic seriously, the ones who go out to beaches and get mad at the government for putting them in Quarantine, people need to understand how Serious this is, and for the people who donโ€™t care, they should be put to death, because those people are the reason this virus is as bad as it is in the U.S.

    4. @FazzBroGaming 777 I don’t think anyone should die from it, but otherwise I partially agree with you. we should distance ourselves, and quarantine the vulnerable. I just think it’s pointless and pretty messed up to treat every one of us the same. We didn’t create the virus, but the governors act like it’s here because of us. I’m just angry that we live in a “free” country but have no say in our own decisions. Pandemic or not, we’re natural beings of the earth. We deserve ultimate freedom and nothing less.

  4. ***REPUBLICANS SHOULD BE FORCED TO GO BACK TO WORK, PICKING VEGETABLES. CLEANING STALLS, AND MEAT PACKING***

    1. SCORPIO I moved to an Island off of Spain where I play golf and go yachting all year. I left America because of Trump and people like you, BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. People here accept each other, the quality of living is much higher, healthcare is better, weather is better and there are no morons supporting a dictator. And you, how is your life???

    1. @Albert Stavidlo Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law. What do you have against that? that’s as American as it get’s, How un-American of you. That’s what this country was founded on.

  5. Trump should do a song with Shaggy:
    They caught me bang’n Stormy: it wasn’t me
    I said covid would be zero: it wasn’t me
    I asked Ukraine for a favor: it wasn’t me

  6. To say that “young people do very well” with this disease, as an argument in favor of re-opening schools, completely misses the point about the risks associated with reducing social distancing precautions. The concern is not that children and young people are in danger, the concern is that the disease will more rapidly spread throughout the community and infect more people, including those who are vulnerable and at risk of dying or having severe symptoms from the virus.

    1. N P heโ€™s that TV personality who has a talk show about healthful living, constantly interviewed by Fox News, very famous (infamous to me, now). Mahmet Oz.

    2. We can not just rely on modern science.
      We may need to apply all kind of science to fight this. Combination of Allopathy, Ayurveda (herbal/traditional medicine), psychological science and spiritual science.
      Reciting healing affirmations and practicing positive visualization through meditation might be a big help too.
      Cuz this is the fact๐Ÿ‘‡

      1) There isย one thing that can heal anythingโ€”our immune system;
      2) There isย one thing that turns off the immune systemโ€”stress;
      3) There isย one thing that will turn the immune system back onโ€”healing โ€œthe issues of the heart.โ€

      Our thoughts creates emotions and what we feel through our emotions…do get recorded in our intra cellular memories …and our body functions according to these memories.
      To be able to change those memories created in past , meditation is the best tool.
      With our life style and diet changes, we can manage to keep our body environment alkaline for good amount of time through out the day.
      Practice of certain yogic breathing exercise can also strengthen our upper respiratory system. With use of certain simple detox methods and herbs our body should be able to fight symptoms of Covid19.

    3. @lisa Blodgett Thanks Lisa. Sorry, I was just being ‘nasty’.
      In Europe he is very infamous as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. @Hmmm no, he really hasn’t. He denied help from the world health organization. He said he wanted America to make their own tests for the virus. That was very stupid. That would take months. If he had just accepted their help, lives could have been saved. He is most certainly not doing the better than most afflicted countries, the smart ones completely cut all travel to and from their countries. Yeah some people would have gotten stuck for a bit, but that’s the price of protecting the populous. Trump only acted in his best interest, not the country’s. He is just thinking about the money, and that’s all he cares about. He doesn’t care about you, the needy, the lower class, or any minority, unless there’s profit to be made for him on their behalf. We are slaves the those more fortunate than us, the American dream is a dead distant memory, and people like him, and people who voted for him, aren’t making this country a better place for later generations. The rich have the power, and they will do whatever it takes to make sure they are the only ones that can have power. The rich dont have to pay as many taxes thanks to trump. And who do you think has to make up for that? Yup, us. The next time you defend trump, maybe ask yourself if he’ll defend you too. And btw, you keep saying obumm like it’s a word, and I can only assume you are making childish insults at our past leader. At least Obama could actually prevent a pandemic, or did you forget about Ebola?

    2. Crossing Plays WHO is corrupt.. they are also misinformed… WHO said we should travel and not wear masks, and this coronavirus can not be transmitted between humans.. they also are in China’s back pocket… read up on this organization… evidently the leader has a whole lot of money in the Swiss banks… who knows who to believe any more.. our ๐ŸŒŽ world…. is in trouble.

    3. @Hmmm I think the only one misinformed is you. These claims you are making are erratic and illogical. It sounds like you get your information from the mentally unstable people of facebook. And it also seems you haven’t read all of what I’ve been saying in previous comments.

    4. Crossing Plays I got my information from google. It is probably misinformation also. I didn’t go to Facebook for any thing.. face book is supposed to be fun… Read up on WHO and see for yourself what is wrong.. I can’t do all your work myself to keep you informed of what is happening… Geesh, your comments provide nothing and I am not looking up your info for you!! Do it yourself please… don’t be lazy.

    5. Crossing Plays Just some more info to keep you informed… on November 12, 2009 22 million Americans were infected by H1N1 it became a public health emergency …. 4 thousand died, that we were informed about. Obummer.. yep, obummer didn’t call for any kind of emergency until 6 months later. It took President Trump less then 1 month to close “borders” to foreign countries. No matter what you say, this pandemic of the entire world is hellacious and President Trump while exhausted trying to get his work accomplished is back lashed by stupid, silly Americans who have no clue… so get a clue!!!! Read, read, read!! And look around at how the American people are reacting to this… arrogant, spoiled brats is what they are… spreading a contagious virus like this with self righteous indignation…

    1. defrigge President Trump is about Hope. Every great leader needs to instill hope. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

    2. @Juanita Latina Yeah, he’s about hope and talking, he’s not about science, reality, facts, doing his job, caring about others, etc.

    3. @Juanita Latina How can anyone take hope from someone who just has hopelessly screwed up once more, from A-Z, during the Corona crisis? Trump is personally guilty of massive mishamdling of the whole crisis, with death tolls much bigger than necessary (higher than after more than a decade of Vietnam war), and a lot of other mishandling. All that nonsense culminated in giving cluess clown advice about untested antidotes, bleach (and light to get into the body somehow). How is someone, who just acts hoplessly dumb and clueless like that, and constantly showing irresponsible and narcisstic behavior in really sick ways, supposed to instill one tiny bit of hope – unless in other clueless morons accepting to ignore lasting dangers like dumb Trump? The only thing this man instills, around the world, in every halfway educated, morally not altogether bancrupt adult person, is aghast headshaking, in disbelief about this excessive degree of dumbness, from a so called world leader who is none, but rather a stone old spoilt child.

    1. observe Joe Biden and ๐Ÿ‘€ Understand how the Democratic Establishment is Trying to Swindle Us ๐Ÿ‘Ž

    2. @M P Nervous, Nutty Nancy is a whack and a hack . Double Talks in everything … spitting her Dentures left & lefter โ˜บ๏ธ

    3. #WALKAWAY from these manipulating Leftists > see thru the Democrats Socialist Plantation and #WALKAWAY

    1. @FELICIA PARKER what you’ve said did not make any sense whatsoever, was that suppose to be a riddle?๐Ÿค”

    2. @erik3423 that’s if the votes don’t be rigged again, u know Trump always got something up his orange sleeve.

    3. @L Smith ๐Ÿ‘„People did not vote for this!! This was seated by the electoral college! I wish you would remember that!!!

  7. the name “TRUMP” will go down in history as a synonym for “a compulsive liar”
    – this man dodges accountability at every turn.

  8. My sister-in-law in Europe told my wife today that she was surprised no one here has put a bullet in Trump’s head.

    1. @John Edward I am totally against the death penalty.. However, isn’t it true: America murdered those good Presidents – like Lincoln and JFK – and let the bad ones live…?

    2. She probably does’nt advocate this, but I think I know why she said it.
      The very last thing the USA needs is more gun crazy idiots shooting off with guns. I really cannot understand the U.S. Laws on the rights of the people to carry firearms. Mad !! When I read about a wee boy accidently shooting his baby sister because his stupid, stupid parents left a loaded gun lying in the house, I could cry my heart out. How are the parents and the boy to go on with their lives.

    3. Sorry to say, but that`s the only way you`re gonna get rid of him. It would be self defence. Remenber, it`s all because of his sociopathic behaviour and lies, this is happening to you and 100 of thousands americans are dying `cause Corona.
      Remember he said “It`s a hoax and will disappear in april”. May God be with you@

  9. “President’s intelligence briefing book repeatedly cited virus threat”

    Trump : nah no biggie. It’ll go down to 0 by February.

    *Hits 1m cases*

    Trump: The experts got it wrong. Not me. I’m doing a great job.
