  1. We have a manchild (TRUMP) with no compassion honor or empathy while the country is at war with this virus. Mary Trump said it best RESIGN!

    1. Yes, yes, yes, he needs to RESIGN quickly. He do not know what it is to be a president or he has any clue at all. He is such a big LIAR..He’s a business man period. He’s not a LEADER. His niece said that. He’s about making money. It’s all about the MONEY. Get the taxes and it will show every thing. What makes you think, he didn’t want them to be public… He was worrying about President Obama, so it’s time for trump to show his taxes. Inquire mind wants to know…. trump TRAITOR. He tried make trade deals every where, but he has lost them all … He tried to bully people, but he got played. As he CHINA, Putin and the rest played trump. Follow the money..

    1. Yep Vlad (you’re the good guy). At a rally he said he could name the virus by 19 different names. At the UPS he graduated to 21 diferent names. Like i’ve said his miniscule brain cannot remember what the left side told the right side to say or vice versa!!😲.

    2. What sort of world “leader” conducts himself in this manner? Such an unsophisticated imbecile. In the same league as Filipino & Brazilian presidents

    1. Oh nay nay my friend. He is hilarious. Raking forests to prevent fires, Cancer causing wind turbines, water is wet, Islands are surrounded by water, nuking hurricanes…it’s hilrarious. He is crazy.

    2. That’s why he keeps using the same buzz phrases over and over again; “The likes of which have never been seen before.” “The tests are beautiful.” (Anyone who’s seen the tests wouldn’t call them “beautiful”.) As well as trying to blame Obama for, well, EVERYTHING.

    1. @Crystal Giddens … Still, after over a year, copy and pasting your BS everywhere. If you had 1/2 a brain, you would still be 3/4 short!

    2. @Roddy MacChlerich … Hilarious! You’re just like traitor trump: a complete delusional liar, telling lies so blatant and obvious, even an 8 year young could figure it out. I see you and @Crystal Giddens
      belong to the same 3/4 short club.

    1. @Crystal GiddensI gather you’re one of those stupid too, 137,000 dead and you think Orange Clown is not stupid. These deaths are on his hands because of his sheer stupidity you’re the one that is stupid.

  2. Of course he encouraged it. Mob bosses don’t get their own hands dirty, they have someone else do it.

  3. President Trump said Navarro wasn’t authorized to write the op-ed. That’s how you know Trump asked him to do it.

    1. 200% and his bs lying denial con game is – in this REAL world crisis, an actual “war”, yes – it is showing now more than ever and it’s hurting his base support. How much … not totally clear yet, but cancelling NH rally, that’s huge.

    2. Agree, he had Trump’s support, but now he might well find himself hearing the words: “Navaho, U R fired!” 😀

    3. No doubt Dopey Donnie encouraged Navarro to write the op-ed piece. Tell the truth around Donnie and you will b attacked. Again the silence of Republicans is deafening. It is like they are ignoring the school bully.

    4. Your right, any other President would have fired the people that went behind their back. Trump is trying to cover up.

  4. He wants fauci to lie, and not tell the truth about how bad the virus is getting and is going to get worse if they don’t wear masks, and shut down, this messes up his compaigning to try and win the coming election. Fauci is transparent about the
    disease, and trump can’t stand the truth, that’s is against his type of religious.

    1. They mind as well, SHUT every thing down cause it’s gonna get worse.. What is wrong people are dying every minute, second, and hour. And this president don’t give a Dame..It’s about politics. He’s letting people die…, but trump TRAITOR it’s not looking to good for you.. Your niece said, RESIGN cause you are destroying AMERICA.

    2. I think he’s textbook guilty predator just trying to CON, lie, pass the buck, deflect, other-blame while TOTALLY shirking actual leadership, taking a real stand. He’s all in total corruption on the virus while trying to CON his base that it’s not him. It’s been one da– 2 sided, double-speak, good cop/bad cop, deflect, deny, distract since day 1 of the virus situation and it’s hurting him with his voters, it appears. They are not THAT stupid, let’s hope.

  5. Why is this even a surprise to anyone? Trump has been basically attacking Faucci for weeks himself.

    1. There’s still a lot of people who still want the orange clown, outside of COVID-19, like guns rights. Despite being destroyed by COVID-19, we still need to vote blue; vote him out. Vote all the repubic hair out.

    2. From abroad here in Australia, it is astounding to see a “leader” so shallow & transparent in his lies. He will become a stain on the office of the presidency

    1. gary mathews – it won’t save Trump and it will doom thousands of American lives. He thinks can “hide” the tragedy because “out of sight, out of mind” is his own world view.

  6. If Biden has any political sense in him, he stays at home and airs the occasional vid for the next three months. The rest will take care of itself…

    1. @Douglas Henry The saying it reminds me of is Napoleon’s – – -> “Never interfere with your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
      Although it sure would be a benefit to the country if Trumpski would adhere to the saying you provided!

  7. What a child, no chance of him ever growing up now. talks like a five year old name calling his mates. Pathetic.

    1. @The Bishop He was never fit to run anything and that includes businesses he sort of ran. He got handed a bunch of cash played businessman had others run them but took over cause he wanted to be the all powerful. This explains the multiple lawsuits and failures, to this day he looks for ways to make money. This is how he’s running the country just like a transaction looking for anyone to make a buck using the platform of influence then you get morons diving into the cesspool.

    2. No doubt Dopey Donnie encouraged Navarro to write the op-ed piece. Tell the truth around Donnie and you will b attacked. Again the silence of Republicans is deafening. It is like they are ignoring the school bully.

  8. “In a world by himself”! Pretty grim diagnosis, especially coming from one of the worlds most respected doctors.

    1. No doubt Dopey Donnie encouraged Navarro to write the op-ed piece. Tell the truth around Donnie and you will b attacked. Again the silence of Republicans is deafening. It is like they are ignoring the school bully.

  9. Donnie, bad move attacking Dr Fauci. He’s the ONLY member of the White house that the American People trust.

    1. Be more careful with your typing.
      There’s a space in the name of the President’s office building, and W and S are easily swapped – being adjacent on the keyboard 🙂

  10. Trump hates anyone smarter than himself. Which is a large proportion of the population. The rest he despises.

    1. Trump is a Chinese, and the Chinese call him Chuan Jianguo. The reason why Trump can be president is that the Chinese have paid for it. Without China, there would be no Trump.

    2. Trump is a Chinese, and the Chinese call him Chuan Jianguo. The reason why Trump can be president is that the Chinese have paid for it. Without China, there would be no Trump.

    3. Trump is a Chinese, and the Chinese call him Chuan Jianguo. The reason why Trump can be president is that the Chinese have paid for it. Without China, there would be no Trump.

    4. Trump is a Chinese, and the Chinese call him Chuan Jianguo. The reason why Trump can be president is that the Chinese have paid for it. Without China, there would be no Trump.

    1. @damienlabenz … Traitor trump: “I knew it was a pandemic before anyone even called it a pandemic.” “I take no responsibility.” On his complete and utter lie months ago: “Anyone that wants a test can get a test.” On his handling/response to the virus: “I give myself a 10.” And, on and on and on, with his BS.

    2. @netzoned Brian Williams face looks so crooked. I can hardly think about what he is saying. It is obvious they try to keep the right camera angle and he holds his head just so but still, the nose and face are cockeyed. Almost as bad as Rachel Maddow. What is up with this CNN?

    3. @Paul Del Monte … I see your comments are the usual traitor trump swamp racist, sheep and TROLL comments. How about this? Address a single one of the negative FACTS against traitor trump with honesty. Of course, people will properly functioning brains know you cannot do that. There is absolutely no way.

  11. “…China virus and 21 other names…” is this supposed to be funny, Trump? Shame on America for letting this very sick person represent you.

  12. Dr. Fauci: Mr. President, if we send an astronaut to the Sun, I’m afraid he will burn up. Trump: ” What if we send him at night”?😁
