Trump Intentionally Misled The Public On Coronavirus | Morning Joe | MSNBC
REMEMBER FOLKS… HE CALLED THIS A HOAX BY THE DEMS…..
Lawanda Smith I most defiantly do care about nurses, several friends are nurses, two nieces & two cousins are nurses, two cousins are doctors, you don’t know me, my comment was Trump not being honest & calling Covid a Democrat hoax. It’s far from a hoax, my mother died in April alone, no funeral my niece died also in April her life celebration is this weekend- out of doors limited to 50 people she was 31 – 2 little kids, my experience with young deaths are funerals overflowing with people- this pandemic has hit my life huge!
@Lawanda Smith I think Kathy was using sarcasm directed at Trump.
@D C NO SHE WASNT ….CLOWN
IF YOUR SUFFERING FROM SMALL MAN SYNDROME….UNIVITED …YOUR NEEDING TO BE STROKED SELF …OUTTA HERE
@D C OH…..DIDNT SOUND THAT WAY….ME AND DRY HUMOR …DONT CHIME TOO COO TOGETHER
@Lawanda Smith Do you use all-caps because people don’t listen you you?
This evidence should be placed before a grand jury for charges of negligent homicide or involuntary manslaughter he must not be allowed to walk away from this
@Ginger Kenchel wow you are really dumb!!!
Sadly he will though
@Ginger Kenchel In Scotland we were told the truth by oor Nicky — we appreciated that and respected her for it. It saved thousands of lives. If she had lied like Trump she would have been kicked out. You do NOT wander round the deck of the Titanic telling everyone it’ll be OK. Grasp some maturity.
Two years ago Bob Woodward said Trump has ”declared war on truth.” Watch this:

@Ginger Kenchel per Twister…you tell the people it’s coming and to be prepared for it. You don’t tell them it won’t hit them because if it does then you are liable for misleading them.
The panic Trump is talking about is a Stock Market Panic, because money is his God
@Vendicar Kahn Stfu you POS Traitor😤
@Vendicar Kahn reported

CORRECT. Don’t think for a second that he cared about Americans not panicking—-he didn’t want his PRECIOUS STOCK MARKET to panic and crash.
@CocoLoco Whatwhat boo whoooo. Are you on food tamps or sumtin. Lol. 250 million Americans have retirement accounts, based on the stock market
Remember also fox news has some responsibility in all this aswell. Trump didnt get to 200k by himself..
NO, the news was sounding the alarm the entire time, but it was trump who was yelling: “Democratic HOAX”!!
@Trumpfraud Lensyep!!
He even held super spreader rallies knowingly killing his own supporters and their families. He killed Herman Cain. What sort of a sucker do you have to be to still support this monster?
Hs base needs to go, 👍anything to keep them from voting!!
To add insult to injury, at the rallies Trump has his base sign waivers that they will not sue him in case I die of Coronavirus
It’s a cult of personality. He has his supporters in some sort of spell.
Holy Land- His code name in Russia is the Orange Kremlin Gremlin, Putin’s water boy.
Maybe they will not vote like Prez Bone spurs telling them. Or they double vote and get sent to prison. Either way they hate the truth. Narcissist people cannot handle the truth.
Whether Trump is elected or not, those who vote for him will share the guilt for every life lost to this virus after the election.

To add insult to injury, Trump tried to politically benefit from the death and destruction he caused:
“In Exchange for Aid, Trump Wants Praise From Governors He Can Use in Campaign Ads
Trump extorts praise from Democratic governors, then uses it in a campaign commercial that casts him as the hero of the coronavirus crisis.”
https://theintercept.com/2020/03/28/exchange-aid-trump-wants-praise-governors-can-use-campaign-ads/
You have spoken no truer words…..
I seriously doubt they are capable of feeling guilt.
They aren’t capable of feeling guilt. They have the mindset of a grade school child.
They don’t have a heart or soul so they will be just fine
“35,000 people die from the flu each year. That’s a lot of people!”
ALSO 190,000 PEOPLE DIE FROM THE CORONAVIRUS AND THE YEAR IS NOT EVEN OVER. THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE. R.I.P.
ALOT OF PPL…IS CORRECT…AND WHOM AND HOW ARE WE WHOM IS TALKING …NOT KNOW. ..WHO KEPT US …ALSO KEEPS THEM
IT JUST WASNT ……OUR TIME
BUT ITS NOT UP …NOR OVER
Its going to be at least 10x as deadly as flu. 400k versus 40k at most.
It’s very sad that a great country like America has such an Incompetent egotistical narsacistic President
Tatumreport
Dont tell his brainwashed supporters that.
Why is everyone so surprised he’s been lying since day one that’s all he’s ever done his whole life
I think its just an extra shock that it’s confirmed he basically knowingly killed people. I was still crossing fingers that he might just be so stupid. But he isn’t. He’s a psychopath.
I’m surprised that he had the nerve to say he’s always wanted to Downplay the Coronavirus and he likes Downplaying it. People are dying. It’s over 173,000 people who have lost their lives.
Ice 247 I know. And I’m not sure whats more eire. The fact that he did this, or his supporters not caring that he did.
One of Trump’s quotes was incomplete: *”I didn’t want people to panic (and drive stock prices down)”*
**AT LEAST,,,, NOT UNTIL TRUMP AND HIS FRIENDS,,, SOLD THEIR STOCKS,,,, THAT WE’RE GOING TO TANK,,, IN AN EPIDEMIC!!!!!**
Exactly! That’s all he was worried about: THE STOCK MARKET and thought “SCREW THE PEOPLE”.
Unfortunately, people still think they are dealing with an intelligent man…
C/7 is up but it’s taking way,way longer then expected but what’s the scenario when that situation does finally happen? A nuclear war, a celebration, everybody that wanted the kid gone will be either A collecting the from his demise & death or going to a institution? The MK ULTRA Torture Elimination Disabilities Tactics Process should be the Ultimate Reel in.
Trump – “Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
Lawanda Smith bruh wtf
(. Because it’s not going to be me!!)
I think hundreds of millions people would like to sacrifice him.
Trump “IT IS WHAT IT IS”.
He is a monster.
His whole campaign is about panic, hate, fear, and racism. He doesn’t care about you. Just ask Herman Caine. Oh wait you can’t. RIP.
He did that to help the “STOCK MARKET” and his rich friends. He can care less about the people! smh.
Tatumreport
@Carol S that’s right..I agreed
As a renowned psychiatrist let me assure you that the President suffers from “Pseudologia Fantastica” 😵🤪😵
this guy is a criminal. this is a crime against humanity.plain and simple.
Trump infected a lot of people holding all those rallies while knowing how dangerous this is
@Arzell. I agree 💯! tRump has their blood on his hands. SMH.
Trump should be arrested and tried for treason. And if found guilty in the court of law, RAFFLE TICKETS FOR THE FOLKS WHO GET TO SIT ON THE FIRING SQUAD. They could have all kimds of up sales on this where folk pay extra to bring your own weapon hahaha
To add insult to injury, Trump had his bait sign waivers that they would not sue him if they got coronavirus or died. A humiliating kick in the crotch. Quoting Sting
@Cyp3 I totally agree! He should go to prison for lying to the public! Think of how many lives were lost due to him lying to the American people!!
Tatumreport
Why is it a surprise he has lied to the American public? He does that constantly!!!
What lie? Did you listen for yourself? Or did you give up your individual common sense? Does the lying media think for you? Lol. Everyone knows, people like you , are idiots
Tatumreport
@Stephen Slattery Are you deaf, dumb & blind?
Oh, never mind!
As a renowned psychiatrist let me assure you that the President suffers from “Pseudologia Fantastica” 😵🤪😵
The President needs to resign.He thinks everything is a game, even people’s lives?My goodness!

He,his family, and staff all have blood on their hands.
