Trump Faces Crisis Of Confidence And Competence Over Coronavirus | The Last Word | MSNBC
Agreed. The American people are looking for guidance. I would like to hear from Doctors/Scientist not politicians on this matter.
We are witnessing Something really big being exposed. And the American people are in the lead of exposing it. Buckle Up.
@TheBase1aransas Yup. This decade will be dominated by a war of ideologies. I expect the leftists to emerge as the winners… but not before a huge shitstorm happens.
Trump is putting the muzzle on Drs. and scientists
Trump Faces Crisis Of Confidence And Competence for Everything
Bud Fudlacker 👈🏼🤣 trump owns you and your thoughts… you are his puppet until he’s finished using you
@Ross Glasow sorry…your projecting…
Trump has your @$$ …in every way…😁 like being in prison.
I wonder how people have came here that were exposed to the virus before China actually took some action…
Trump’s reassuring words of leadership about the coronavirus:
“We have done an incredible job. We’re going to continue. It’s going to disappear. One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear. And from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.”
Nobody really knows he says. 😲
This was Trump’s answer to practically every question on every exam he took in school and college.
In a situation as serious as this, a real leader would have experts like Dr. Fauci, and experts from the CDC, out front on a regular basis briefing , informing, and educating the public on the risks and hazards of this virus. A real leader would make sure that the people have all the necessary information needed to protect themselves. And it’s not a matter of fear mongering, it’s a matter of trust. Because fear grows from a lack of trust.
You can actually create a panic by intentionally or unintentionally misleading the public. Doctors and scientists should be the ones taking the lead in not only dealing with this virus, they should also be the ones taking the lead in briefing and disseminating the information to the press and to the public. No one wants to hear from two nincompoops like Trump and Pence, who don’t even believe in science. The administration job should simply be to ensure that the experts and all the institutions and facilities involved, has everything they could possibly need.
@The Insane Shecklador Yes of course! Trump is not perfect I think he is doing pretty good, if he did not speak like he does I think his support would be huge! However I worry about results over a perfect speech! Also the alternative is ridiculous the democrat candidates are horrible!
Phantom Mensa
Indeed. Thanks.👍
@David J Nearly every other country has a worse problem with coronavirus! But TDS beats facts!
@Bud Fudlacker I gotta admit, after all the comments I’ve seen from you the last several months, I’m a bit surprised to get an honest response. Thanks.
“The outstanding negative quality of the totalitarian elite is that it never stops to think about the world as it really is and never compares the lies with reality.”
“Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty.”
― Hannah Arendt, The Origins of Totalitarianism
“It is important that any effort to influence or effect the American public that is not in the public interest be killed by the light of pitiless publicity and analysis.”
―Edward Bernays
“Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.”
―Frederick Douglass
@Bud Fudlacker You made my point for me.
(The traumatic basis for the resurgence of right-wing politics among working Americans): “The embrace, by working Americans, of policies that hurt their own interests can be understood on the basis of Ferenczi’s model of identification with the aggressor. Intrafamilial child abuse is often followed by the abuser’s denial. Children typically comply with abuse, in behavior and by embracing the abuser’s false reality, under threat of emotional abandonment. Similarly in the sociopolitical sphere, increasing threats of cultural and economic dispossession have pressed working Americans to adopt an ideology that misrepresents reality and justifies their oppression. In society as in the family, there can be a compensatory narcissistic reaction to forfeiting one’s rights that, ironically, encourages feelings of power and specialness while facilitating submission.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/pcs.2015.53

@Bud Fudlacker Trumpnazi for the gas chamber 2020!
@Bud Fudlacker
Hahahahah, Jesus you’re either remarkably stupid or downright brainwashed.
The Mueller quote: “If we had had confidence that President Donald Trump clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”
Pence: Don’t you worry folks we’ll pray away the virus. So, cheer up pearly gates are waiting!🙄.. 😁😂
Pence: “The upside to dying from the coronavirus is that you will be with our Lord and Savior sooner! Your neighbors will be envious.”
mikie pence and his department of thoughts and prayers 🤣🤣🤣
Bud Fudlacker well, the republican sycophantic fantasism is well brought through right here. Well done.
Blaming the Coronavirus on the democrats. You really are that stupid.
The fact that the trumpy government has failed to address the potential danger to us citizens and have done diddly squat about it actually means that it is the republicans who are putting us citizens at risk. The borders are open to tourists both incoming and outgoing. You have us citizens living in all sorts of places, such as China and are seeking to return home. Tourists are coming in to see your nation and they may be unwittingly bringing the virus in. How are the democrats responsible for that. Trump was expecting it all to go away when the weather warmed up for goodness sake.
The stupidity starts at the top. The squatter in the WH is not capable of handling this situation or putting the right people in charge.
As Trump’s Russian friends say: “A fish always rots from the head first.”
Stalin established his regime gradually, by putting loyalists in the positions of power – that’s exactly what Trump is doing.

Crimdor 👈🏼🤣 trump owns you… you are his puppet and his property until he’s finished using you
@Ross Glasow Well said, Ross.
@Crimdor
I don’t know about the cat picture nor where Viadl comes from, but, what exactly is inaccurate about their comment?
If the medical professionals are truly medical professionals, then they will not be gagged.

“Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains to bring it to light.” George Washington
I am sure Washington had a better grasp of the English language than that.
@B G, the English in that quote is just fine. ‘Pains’ also means care, trouble or effort.
“Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!”
– Braveheart
“Government is not reason and it is not eloquence. It is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.” – George Washington
Thoughts?
Dictator Trump cannot be trusted. His words based on lies.
Luckily, he’s “a very stable genius”. Lol
The comments here are for the most part are very eloquent and truthful, vote blue 2020.
Just think how many do have it and fear going to hospital because they cannot afford it
“Private labs” – translation Big Pharma will make out like bandits.
Doctor: “You’ve rested positive for the coronavirus.”
Patient: “The president said it’s a democrat hoax and I would be okay.”
Doctor: “Mmm, that’s not how infection works.”
Trumps move to get the Japan patients here has spread it all over American
