Trump Puts U.S. In Worst Disaster In Modern History, Says Professor | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Putin really got his money’s worth.
Yep he got a great deal on that uranium Hillary sold him didn’t he?
50 cents on the Ruble, too
For a few rubles more….
@mksrookies
Hi dumbster 👋😁
Handy hint 😀 If you mix your Hydroxychloroquine and disinfectant with KKKool Aide it improves the flavour 👌😂 Enjoy
Vote him out in November and ensure that he and his accomplices pay for their crimes with time behind bars and that their ill gotten gains are returned to the people robbed by this gang.
ARE YOU ON DRUGS?
@ZK17 Vlogs Quite a risky statement on this site. Don’t apologize, there are plenty here dumber than you.
@Yank ee you got one like😄
@Home Slice Midwest here..Iowa.
@MissSicBitch you might try putting down the trump juice and making sense in your post
All though this is what we get from maga nuts
Trump: testing is not essential. Also Trump: I’m getting tested everyday.
Exactly!!!!!
It’s all about hypocrisy on the rite.
Huh Wendy I didn’t even think of that. Wow talk about hypocrisy.
I love how blunt Dr. Sachs is!
He is corrupt he was secretly testing viruses like this one and even invested 7 million in the Wuhan lab
@becky garcia he has money money buys votes that’s politics if you have billions then you pay homeless and the less well out to vote for you in return for a cash handout. Look at how many homeless there are in America
I’ll prob have my account blocked now lol
“If you get a test, you get a case” -President 100% infection rate
Ban All tests. America will become the healthiest county in the world. No Diabetes, no Heart Disease ,no Hepatitis,no STD and no Cancer . That’s the Republican health care plan.
His newest cabinet appointments will be the three monkeys, “See no evil, Hear no evil, speak no evil.”
Trump knows the truth. He refuses to wear a mask as statement. What this actually means is that wherever there is a test, there is a false positive case. What we all need to do is stop relying on our government to implement solutions that are actually the real problem. Test -> false positive -> force quarantine those who refuse to get vaccinated -> idiots get vaccinated -> DNA mutations -> bye bye healthy children -> broken hearts of parents and grandparents while we stare at our disabled and morphed children, because we ignored the signs. Instead of whining about what THEY are going to do for US, why don’t WE decide to do the best thing that we can do for OURSELVES, which is to THINK! Wake up and smell the lies. We are ultimately BEGGING for them to poison us by crying out for them to save us from this “deadly virus”, which is just SO dangerous that they have to LITERALLY PAY hospitals to diagnose it. $4,000 for every diagnosis, and $39,000 for every reported death ‘related’ to it, which goes back to the diagnosis. Death rates are skyrocketing because so many folks who relied on consistent health care are being denied because the hospitals are operating at 30% capacity. And only to be reported as rona related for that sweet and so desperately needed funding. No wonder there are just SO MANY deaths from this thing… Better we all fear and doubt each other so we don’t question what’s really going on. I keep hearing the term “new normal” everywhere I go. Buckle up people, because if those who are still staring at their own colon walls don’t pull their heads out long enough to look around at what their harming with their indecision, then this will be the new permanent normal.
@Barbara Smith This policy is based on the well known scientific law: “What they don’t know, won’t hurt ’em.”
Dumbest thing he’s ever said.
Testing is KEY to identifying whose infected and quarantining them so they dont infect others.
Trump doesn’t want people tested because the creep wants to avoid personal responsibility for it and be reelected.
@Uncle Daddy I never seen any of their leaders lie about the severity of the situation like Donald Trump did
@mksrookies Trump won’t win again unless he cheats. He’s killed too many people. Over 90,000 now.
@End this police corruption The problem with that is his morons will then run around killing whoever Fox Lies tells them to.
Trump grossly mismanaged the pandemic and lied to us about it’s impact. He’s tanked our economy and will go down as the worst president of all time.
your comment is true and factual, On his Inaug. Day Donald Trump spoke those words against Barak Obama and tried to blame him but little did Trump know that Trump’s own words will come back to him. Trump said “and now the great American carnage is over”
He knows nothing, learns nothing and cares nothing about anyone but himself.
Liberty Ann…..
Girl, that’s the honest to goodness truth!!!!
VOTE BLUE IN NOV.!
@Robert Futch …he’s a republiKKKlan, Robert!
@Joel Kavanagh what in the world does any of your writing mean?
@doc hall Trump wants total control. I fixed it.
@Jean Hawaii Stay far far away…
Dr Bright is exactly what we need. Someone who tells the truth.
We have had several People tell the truth. They just get fired. And no-one questions him. Or the GOP. Pitiful.
@Phyllis Cobian Yes and for this reason we must keep appreciating the truth. He lives for his stupid ratings. Truth would help with ratings.
Trump can’t wear a mask, the bronzer would rub off his face.
LMAO Truth? Trump doesn’t know the meaning of the word.
👏👏👏👏👏😎
First speaker did not waffle on. A “no”to a reporter’s question.
Even a 2yr old is more smart than Donald ‘Annoying Orange’ Trump. Pathetic!
Smarter. Not “more smart’.
But I agree with you
More smarter
You are overestimate your two-year old. Obviously, he is much smarter than you, that’s for sure!
Trump 2020, we’re back!
If he avoids real testing our numbers “look” better. Don the con continues to deny and deflect. No real plan in place. Constantly rage tweeting and firing anyone who is not “loyal “.
Because many have had enough of this bull sh@%. They dont particularly give a bleep about more testing which accomplishes nothing more than giving media fuel for fire of doom and gloom. If people feel need of testing themselves by all means it should be an effort to make that available. But the gig is up testing results wont be acceptible reasonto help those on crusade to keep this up. If this it were really that dangerous do you think they would have to force people to stay home and be safe or would they figure that out all on their own
@iomibestlefty Doom and gloom? Testing accomplishes a lot when it is done right and effectively. Right now the number 1 cause of death the last 2 months has been coronavirus, but that doesn’t have to be. Our executive branch is literally not doing the peoples work, so we might as well not have a government, because they aren’t doing legitimate work. And by the way, people are crying tyranny even though nobody is being forced to stay at home, only recommended. That is what makes all of the people protesting look like idiots. You don’t have a right to a job, and those 36 million jobs are gone. I know I ain’t reopening my business, because I know it won’t bring in enough money to pay for itself or my former employees. So we reopen the economy and business owners less knowledgeable about operation costs try, if they are not running 80% they will fail inside 6 months, so right around the election we will see a bunch of small businesses crumble. If we see another spike it will crush the economy and we will be in a new great depression. What makes me sad is I was a Republican and I voted for Trump, and financially I’m not being hurt by this, and long term these small businesses failing for jumping in will make me wealthier, I look at this all and say what trusting idiots.
Rune – Thorne -I find your comment, a bit insincere, and a slight to those who are truly suffering economically, as a result of COVID, and the US governmental response. Perhaps, if you weren’t flaunting the demise of others, whilst boasting that it profits you, one could see you as empathetic. As it stands, your sentiment is pompous and feeble. Although I find you disingenuous, I wish you continued wellness.
@Rune – Thorne Who told you the #1 cause of death has been covid? Don’t believe everything you are “told”, especially when it doesn’t make any sense. Notice how it is the Democratic governors/ mayors who are refusing to reopen. Notice how none of them wear mask either, nor are they following their own “orders” to stay home. https://youtu.be/GFNvcw12d08 And I don’t know what state YOU live in, BUT many of us ARE being FORCED to stay home. https://youtu.be/-C45Zd5g1mU And we DO have the right to work, we have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Besides, No State law can abolish, reduce, or violate the rights afforded by the Constitution. Watch this, hope this helps you see how we are being lied to….http://week.com/2020/04/20/idph-director-explains-how-covid-deaths-are-classified/
@MissSicBitch Day over day percentage Covid-19 has been the number 1 single cause of death, at almost 15% of the daily death totals since April. That’s coming from the nations statistics, CDC. We average about 8000 deaths a day in the nation. And not a single protester has been arrested for being out in public, and you have a right to work, you don’t have a right to a job or an industry. There is a difference. Commerce is subject to the states with Congress having the final decision on regulating interstate commerce, it’s in the constitution. Read Article 1. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness isn’t in the constitution, it’s in the declaration of independence. Before you go quoting the document, make sure you know which document and what it says. Even with reopening the economy the numbers of unemployed people new cases still went up, and I’m telling you 40-50% of the jobs lost will never come back so there’s a whole new problem besides just reopening that you all are failing to look at in your demands.
A perfect description of Trump “A Toddler who Covers his Eyes and Pretends The Scary Thing is not there because he can’t see it” …..Trumps Motto… “If I Ignore it..It will go away” Trump would be ‘The Most Inept, Incompetent, Lazy, Useless and Stupid beyond measure Illigitimate President all Aided and Abetted by his Gutless Sycaphantic Republican Collaborators. America get rid of this Trump Clown and his Circus. While the American populace is distracted by Trumps dog & pony show, Trump & Barr are Jail Breaking Flynn, Manafort and Stone, all the while Raping, Pillaging and Plundering the Nation’s Coffers. Cheers from Michael. Australia.
My Australian State as of yesterday is COVID FREE. No active cases whatsoever. Our restaurants are starting to open with stringent limitations. Pubs not yet. State borders remain closed with mandatory 14 days ISO if you return. There has been NO street protests. National Covid tracing ph. app. Fully availlable testing on demand. Local manufacturer commenced mask manufacture. I could go on. Critically FULL awareness & expectation that this is just wave #1…
Sounds like you have intelligent people in charge
I’m glad I don’t live in a third world shithole fascist dictatorship banana republic that lacks basic things like free and fare elections competent leadership universal health care sensible gun laws and an adequate education system
he’s a failure Vote in November-How much money is he stealing from us he and his corrupt family
Err Trump lost a third of his money since he became President. Unlike Obama who got 200 times richer ( 200 isn’t a typo) while in Office…
Let’s look in to this new bill and see who is stealing…
The US has done a better job of handling COVID-19 than France, Belgium, Sweden, The Netherlands, The Uk, Spain, Italy…. I don’t hear anyone criticizing them despite the fact they more COVID-19 death per unit populous than the US. That’s the metric that really matters!
Washington Post recently ran an article reporting on $970,000 we have paid to Trump properties for 1,600 room rentals. That works out to $606 per room. I’d bet hat is a fair amount over the actual housekeeping/operating costs of the rooms like Eric Trump has tried to claim in the past. He claimed that Secret Service agents “Stay at our properties for free. Meaning, like, cost for housekeeping.” “We charge them, like, 50 bucks.”
@The Insane Shecklador That would be a conflict of intrest which is illegal. Considering they havr been investigating Trump on everything imagionable and that they just opened an investigation of his firing the IG which is perfectly legal, don’t you think if what the post said were true that they would arrest Eric Trump? Please apply a little logic to what you read. Most of it is obvious lies.
You’re only as safe as your government wants you to be !!
The US has done a better job of handling COVID-19 than France, Belgium, Sweden, The Netherlands, The Uk, Spain, Italy….
The president’s disdain for democracy, adulation for autocrats and contempt for the global rules-based order poses a unique peril. Ditching Trump in 2020 would be a gift to the world
“This man knows nothing, learns nothing, is vulgar, attacks and has put us in the worst position in our history”
@Lou Montana It was clear to me from the day Trump was elected that he had one mission and that is to take a wrecking ball to what remained of American democracy. With politics bought by the corporations, the true enemy of democracy that has emerged from the shadows since the Berlin Wall came down are the plutocrats. Most politicians are so corrupted, so addicted to money and so afraid of the plutocrats that they not only fail to stand up for their constituents but actively work against their medium and long-term interests. I admire ones that have demonstrated some spine like Mitt Romney, the sadly deceased John McCain, Sheldon Whitehouse, AOC and Bernie Sanders.
@We can bring them back, LOLOL! All Trump signs are disappearing. Trump is the WORST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
But, you are OK because Hitler still has followers.
The only thng he cares about now
is the Election and him to get elected. So Americans please wake up.
@Cindy liew, well said!
@Lou Montana I’m sorry to inform you ❄️ but Barry Sorotos was there worst just ask Carter 🤣. Carter was his biggest fan because now Carter is no longer the worst to date and that’s a FACT❄️
Aw, c’mon. The US has been in the worst disaster in modern history since November 2016. We are merely reaping what the electors sowed.
