  1. How do we judge the “pattern” when we haven’t tested people? How do people Social distance at work?

    1. @Tall Diana: C’mon, does it really matter? Who cares if millions of us peasants get sick, and thousands upon thousands of us die?sarcasm

    2. Tall Diana they don’t this is population reduction ,them to work so even more can become infected a bring the death toll up higher.Dont fool yourself 45 bust a nut with every death .

    3. Garden Dormouse for the 1% this is just another reality show,their isn’t enough people working to support their life style

    1. Soon, 30 Million unemployed and no clear date on when support money will go out. Imagine living paycheck to paycheck, going to work and the business is closed. No place to find work, all of the companies around are closed. If you’re able, please support your local food banks, pantries and any other locations that assist with groceries or meals.

  2. Why does every station air him everyday? He is using this as free advertising just like he did 2016. He isn’t saying anything new.
    They should film it not live.
    If he has anything new them air it or cut what he says and only air the other doctors only.

    1. @Shuizid WELL said!
      “Obama played 306 golf games in 8 years. As of March 8th trump has golfed 264, that’s in 3 years. So who golfs more????? Oh and just what does it cost for trump’s habit? Remember Obama played most of his games close to the white house.
      https://thegolfnewsnet.com/golfnewsnetteam/2020/03/08/how-many-times-president-donald-trump-played-golf-in-office-103836/
      Yes, it would be better if trump played golf like Obama did.”

    2. @Ken Pusillo
      President Trump has played more golf in his first term, surpassing President Obama in his whole 8 years combined.

  3. It doesn’t matter what that imbecile talks about everything is super smashing great excellent the best fantastic ugh what a child.?

    1. He was voted by the heartlands.
      What good have the heartlands ever done to the blue states?
      The blue states make america great.
      And now, the POTUS, the king of the heartlands, is claiming, that the crisis is a responsiblity of the states!

      Don’t let them do that to you!
      *Declare independence!*

    2. He sounds like a real estate salesman talking up a money pit; I”m sure his cult are lapping it up though.

  4. Where I am there’s basically no testing going on. Even if you have the symptoms they just turn you away.

    1. Same here. My son was exposed and is only experiencing fatigue, so he can’t have a test. They said to call back if he develops a cough and high fever, but my guess is that I will still be told that no test will be available to him even with those added symptoms.

  5. “We’re going to be opening up. We call it ‘opening’.” This man has the brain of a 5 year old.🤦‍♂️

    1. @Connie Plum that you opinion, but not buddy force to purchase the product….a question? You work for free?…now the information him provided…is price less…

    2. @Hilda Rosas
      Hilda, if you want to remain clueless, that’s up to you, but he has no reputation left to protect. I
      really don’t care one way or the other.

  6. WHY IS BARR EVEN TALKING. HE IS THE SHADOW OF THE LIAR AND CHEAT, TO BELIEVE EITHER OF THEM IS ON YOU AND YOU ONLY.

  7. Wow! “The economy is going to be open up successfully … even more successful than before “! Man this guy is frickin delusional… I mean really!!! Unbelievable!

    1. William clouds if I was that insane and delusional I’d be locked up in a insane asylum

  8. And 45 gets his tiny hands on some of that bailout money for his hotels.
    And of course Republicans want in person voting, Ivanka has a financial interest in voting machines… follow the money.

    1. For you who are wondering, his motives are not only money. He wants to be worshiped for his brilliance and greatness. This is about the sick need for power, not money. Can you see no difference between him and Bill Gates?

  9. How can they be against voting by mail and people in the military and nursing homes need their votes counted too.

    1. This is a Republican ploy to help Trump. They know he is a child they control. They know they will it o lyode money but will lose everything without Trump. They are desperate and fearful. Their time is almost over.

    2. They’re setting the stage for when he loses in November. Votes by mail were rigged! People voted many times. Bunch of A holes

  10. If we dont get more testing were just chasing the wind, fooling ourselves about getting a handle on this virus

    1. Is everyone tired of all this winning?? Forrest Trump said he would make America number 1 and he was right number 1 most covid 19 cases and number 1 more people dead than any other country.

    2. @peace and love
      Only confused or fake believers need a building to find God. Didn’t you know that He’s everywhere? You can find Him when you are all alone. You don’t need a room full of people.

    1. I can’t figure it out. Does he like coming across as vile and phenomenally stupid? How does he not know?

    2. @Mine Finder But that was racist? Muslims were doing nothing wrong, he plans on letting millions of possibly infected people to travel the world. Moron.

  11. “We have completed 2 million test in America, that is more than anywhere in the country and anywhere” qtf does that mean?😤

    1. Betty thomas that is less than 1 percent. The USA has a population of over 320 million people so good luck to them….we need God more than ever😢

    1. @Big Bear Hungry get off fox news. i don’t remember any Americans dying from swine flu, Ebola or Zeke while President Obama was leading our country. Look up Obama’s responses to pandemics on YouTube. There are lots of videos showing his taking the lead on every suspected pandemic while he was in office. And his leadership was for the whole world not just the red states like the fool who calls himself pres now. Turn off fox news

    2. @Larry 357 Antisocialist cuntservatives who blocked funding for technology & healthcare for all for decades caused this mess. So 100% of all republicunts & 90% of democrats. Every socialist communist Marxist soldiers/warrior/activist should be HONORED for their heroic sacrifice against religious cuntservative who have DESTROYED this nation by forcing their religious garbage & free market capitalism hypocrisy down everyone’s throat.

    3. Big Bear Hungry best you start thinking about going to a rally when your dopey leader thinks it’s all over. He will be able to wipe out a few hundred people in one swipe.

  12. It feels like being pushed from a plane and the guy who pushed me is yelling he’ll promise to make and send a parachute…
