Trump Covid Messaging Campaign Struggles Despite Exorbitant Budget | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

    1. I’m a Biden voter but this has already been disproven a few days ago, surprised Politico didn’t update that

  1. Hi, could we please get a quarter-billion dollars spent on messaging to promote masks and distancing and maybe even distribute PPE and support hospitals? Please?

    1. Well . . . That’s the end of Dennis Quaid’s career . . . Hope he got paid? . . . Don’t see much work coming his way from now on?

    2. But no don’t don’t do that here we just give you some money we can control you better when you’re dependent on us

    3. Back in April, USPS leaders drafted a news release announcing plans to distribute 650 million masks nationwide, enough to offer five masks per household, but guess what…..The trump administration vetoed it.

    4. I wonder which administration staff thought that the celebrities who had refused Donnie boy in 2016 would magically be willing to participate in one of Donnie boy’s propaganda?

    1. @Jake P Quaid has the final say so on what he will and will not do. Only Quaid is to blame for this showing of his true colors, just like James Woods.

    1. Just released from the cognitive test facility at Alzheimer’s Memorial Hospital:
      Donald John Trump: “Oh, I know what that is, that’s a sycophant.”
      Medical staff: “Very close Sir, it’s an elephant.”

    2. I have to admit that I find it increasingly difficult not to feel ever so slightly sorry for the rapidly dwindling herd of perpetually whining omega males that still support the gutless beta male Donald John Trump and his nauseatingly repugnant fake bone spurs, because it is in for a brutally rude and abrupt awakening in the immediate future.

    1. Learn how to make a nationalist’s brain look like a pea in two easy steps:

      1: Inflate it to twice its original size.
      2: Paint it green 🤢

  2. A $300 million ad campaign with “celebrities” no one has ever heard of?
    Just like that $107 million inauguration headlined by 3 Doors Down.
    Sounds like a scam to me.

  3. Ignore the polls and trolls.
    Vote too save democracy in America!
    Vote too big to rig!
    Vote country over party!
    🇺🇸🇺🇸Biden/Harris 🇺🇸🇺🇸

  4. Political ads for incumbents, paid for by taxpayers? Sounds like another brilliant idea for pillaging the public treasury from Jared and the Skinny-suited Whiz Kids.

  5. Wait a second. So instead of helping folks in dire need of stimulus and EDD benefits, they’re using our taxes on a campaign ad to paint a false picture? Good god can this nightmare end soon.

    1. And to think the Representatives passed the continuance of that stimulus in May, and Mr. McConnell refused even to present it to the Senate for debate. Now, Trump’s picking bits of pieces of it and trying to claim credit for those. Poor America – it’s no laughing matter. We really do grieve for you.

  6. They are literally using the taxpayers money to fool the taxpayers into thinking that COVID is under control. That’s DISGUSTING….. I’m glad no one supported this abhorrent campaign.

  7. It is an administration of amateurs, incompetent, corrupt and criminals. It’s a real crime syndicate. The American people have never been their priority

  8. Trump’s campaign money box is almost empty – so he was going to use your $$$ with an ad to fluff him up? How low???

    1. More importantly register to vote and then vote. We have to remember: some people probably are first time voters, or been purged off rolls and the first step is to register. But I agree with you: everyone who can vote, needs to vote. Sitting this one out would have unrepairable and devastating consequences to our “democracy”! It’s already in shambles.

    2. @Ericka Jones
      Yes ! Yes !
      watching this from 🇨🇦
      People everywhere need to realize
      This is SO SO important

      Vote early,help other people you may know to get out and vote.. get it done
      🍀🍀🍀🤞🤞🤞from 🇨🇦

  9. Once again Traitor Trump is trying to pilfer taxpayer dollars for his own personal gain… while not paying any taxes himself.
