Trump Signs First Coronavirus Aid Bill – Day That Was | MSNBC
500 billion that we have to pay back. And the trillions and trillions to the big corporations free of charge. That’s a smart move.
@Bob upity Don’t both of us have something better to do than nitpick each other about “socialism” or whatever when some of our loved ones, or even we ourselves may be living our last year on this Earth?
@CRAZY HORSE Yes, you’ll be working for years to come.
Getting MORE loans will put the business in line for bankruptcy. So what we gunna do, it will be 5 years before all this starts to repair. Crashing the stock market is money lost on paper by riiich people who have plenty of money and no taxes paid.
@grubalaboo creosote You are very misleading about the relief from the fed. They temporarily gave cash for bonds because people were afraid those assets were not safe. They also took other measures such as dropping interest rates to ensure banks won’t stop loaning, and they will loan money as needed. None of it is them giving money away permanently, and it’s especially not them giving it to wallstreet fat cats or corporations. Also, bailouts are paid back in time. People just ignore the facts and blame the rich and corporations since it feels great.
@MarredCheese You are talking about the 2nd relief package. The first one went straight into the pockets of large volume traders to convince them to stop selling their shares. Don’t try and defend corruption.
I literally loathe McConnell. His voice brings me to unkind thoughts
Why do you watch him then
@Charles Peters STOP IT!!
@Charles Peters dear Charles in case you haven’t been breathing long. Dunnie is a LIE. Start to finish, everything it does or will ever do…Its lying!
As similar most U.S. elected officials are natural practiced LIARS.
@Jetl0cke Yeah, impeachment is just because you got upset with the 2016 election. Come on kid, try thinking.
@antho keilan if your a fan of the worthless P.O.S. you should join him. FU and Mitch!
Ok now send in that check!
@Curtis Almy cause its really not for bills thee economy is f***** up so they want all americans to spend it.. Soon as them checks start gling out the corona will dissapear so people can go out and spend..
@mike sixx right!
@Campos Jesus, from what it appears it is tied to individuals SSN.
@buff samurai fred lol true
@Colby Church yes your right alot of people need it i hope my mom and dad gets it they have worked hard long time both 64 years old now
“Finally” lmao that’s a lot of of money to just decide on real fast lol
“if you can find it” ummm..
That is a lot of money to inflate the money bubble until… *pop*
Prepare Accordingly.
I used to like LOD 🙄
*madeinchina*
You understand what’s going on right? And it wasnt alot to cut from other programs for his wall
Quadrillion is next
@Alien Boy I bet it has the same impact when we hit our first trillion. In other words. Nothing
If youre reading this may you live a long and happy life.
Why would you wish that on me⸮ /s
@_-Delaware Scrap-_ 🤣🦠
@_-Delaware Scrap-_ because your smile is infinitely stronger than any pandemic I’ve ever seen
You too
Same to you my friend. 🌹❤️
Loans to small business but bailouts to profitable corporations (who didn’t save their huge permanent tax cuts for a rainy day) why aren’t they getting loans???
@david so people are supposed to build a business just so you can can put your 2 cents in. Who made you god. You would just talk them right into bankruptcy anyways. You just keep dreaming because no one with any business sense is going to care what you think.
Most are getting loans
lol
@shaochia vang keep in mind that small business make income due to contracts they get from corporations, big business and Government. Small business employ staff less than 30, depending on their industry, so the money they make is proportional to their capacity. For example, you cant expect them to perform 50million dollar work/service, while a large corporation has the infrastructure, network and resources to execute 50 million value work. This is how economy works.
@Tyler Clark of course it did. Read about Reagonomics. Based on the same concept. We need to consider other strategies in growing the economy. Trickle down is a bottleneck. All the best and thanks for the fantastic lunch idea. -jk
The Resident Evil 1 on Playstation music doesnt make this seem like fear mongering at all.
I thought the same thing.
LOL !!!
What is fear mongering?
Adrian Fort What is your mongering fear mongering
Savanah Tiemann Thank you I appreciate that
Too late. People already went to work and infected others. Be prepared to see an explosion in numbers.
Wo another genius,
Jim T woah ***
Stupid companies and CEOs insisted “desk workers” keep coming to work. Charter Communications
This is true
Especially after the spring breakers come back to infect a town near you
Literally everything down to he music of this video seems like propaganda
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END!!!!!!!!!!! RIOTTTTTTTT
This virus has been 1 five hundredth as dangerous as the flu so far.
Yes its all bs to try and push martial law.. for what .. i dont want to find out!
@Samantha Speaks Nobody wants Marshall Law. Nobody, just knock it off. It’s getting tiresome.
@TheMoonShark squirrel Sure, but they’re not really lying, only reporting the facts that will support their scare campaign. Like they’ll tell everyone that there’s 13000 cases now, 100 time a day, but they wont report that it’s minuscule compared to other viruses we’ve encountered in the past. So it’s not a lie, they’re using selective reporting.
Free testing…if you can find it 🙄🥽🧤🥾🖕🏽
Yeah, there aren’t enough tests. The Utah jazz tested their team and staff, and that used up 20% of all the tests in the entire state.
I live in a major metropolitan area and it’s not easy to find here. Our hospitals are backed up. We waited 6 hours to get tested and ended up leaving bc we dont want to spend an unnecessary amount of time in a hospital.
@Chicken Little
No effort needed. Trump brings attacks on himself.
— We don’t need it: https://youtu.be/2QF4TihwFT4
Lol libbies make me smile
I’m so glad all you RICH people in the media know how the middle and lower class people feel about your opinions!
Ya like no lie is too big for us Fox who’s reporters are the highest payed in the world.
They completely left out the stimulus checks American adults will be able to get in the next week or two. But whatever. About 750 per American adult
The real powers that run the west worked with China to create this. The Chinese agreed to look like the fall guy because it helps them crack down on their people and the Hong Kong protests. As for the west it’s a distraction away from the fast collapsing economy. It’s no more deadly than the yearly flu but was engineered to have a long incubation period allowing it to spread the distracting hysteria. It’s worse than 1929. They will let the pain go on until we beg for their digital credit system waiting in the wings. I suggest investing your Weimar-bucks in precious metals, food, toiletries, tools, guns, seeds, animals, a bicycle, and anything perennially in demand.
Can you spell GED ?
Douglas Thompson – You must be kidding or are you a Socialist Democratic Communists?
It’s so weird this video looks like one of those zombie apocalypse news headlines
Lol world war z
Fear mongering
☠
Not by accident. This is corporate Democrat propaganda to a T
Even has mood music….listen to pitch and tempo depending on what is being said….id rather have plain news with out the drama……oh…..thats right….this isn’t news….its entertainment. 🤢🤮
so, the good news that the Aid Bill was passed and signed, turns into a disaster according to MSNBC. Foreboding music included.
And you believe MSLSD propaganda?
maryann I hope the next emergency action is to take MSNBC off the air.
@IROC Dude ms13bc
Got to love it they hate the lefty solution to the problem, only because it is Trump.
You guys are good. Able to spin how the administration is trying to help, in such a way that it seems not helpful.
Right?!!! Their bias is so obvious. One of his first comments said it all. “Free Coronavirus tests, if you can find it”. Smh
These fake journalists make me sick.
They are working for China what do you expect.
Bailout the airlines bs they got huge tax breaks let them bail themselves out, help the working class and small business owners period
you’ll do the same thing if you’re up there/ same thing
enough crap
@Planet Express Airlines should not have been spending all their cash on buybacks the past 10 years. They can have the cash but the buybacks will stop.
@Tony A I don’t disagree with you there.
@Dat Hoang because the private sector allows for competition and innovation. A government ran airline would be a nightmare compared to what we have now.
I agree. Airline executives make up to $14,000,000 annually. Before the airlines get bailed out, the executives need to take a pay cut and use some of their 8 figure salaries to bail themselves out.
Man MSNBC does not let up.. “free testing….. iF yOU cAn fIND It!!!”
Can you explain why the United states, the riches most powerful and boisterous country in the world, has a lower amount KD tests available per capita then EVERY other 1st world country dealing with this?
Raise your standards. You’re American for Christ sake.
@NatarisX Check in with the FDA a problem that has been around way, way, way before Trump.
@NatarisX
There are plenty tests available but they are made in Europe or Asia but Trump did not want that. He wanted American test kits so CDC developed a test kit quickly that turned out not to be reliable so they had to go back and develop a new test kit. That production is first now beginning to spin up so USA is basically behind the curb now because the cases start to increase in USA and the number you see now probably don’t give a very good picture of how many are really infected with Covid-19.
Trump also tried to bribe a German company to move to USA to develop their vaccine for Covid-19 and only make it available for Americans. That move did not exactly make USA any friends in Germany.
After this move, nobody trusts USA and definitely not Trump. This may come back and bite USA at a later stage.
TheChiefEng The tests that were coming from the W.H.O should have never of been turned away! Trump turned his head when it came to those tests because he didn’t want numbers of infected people to sky rocket and go public, how’d that go over,he made it worse.
“Free testing, if you can find it”
Wow
Where are the 2 Million tests that rump promised 2 weeks ago? Where did they go? Celebrities and NBA are tested and so who has the tests????
If you don’t have symptoms then you don’t need it!
@jfsfrnd Yes and msnbc causes brain damage but you are still here. Yes, the virus is bad, so is the regular flu for many. Trump is now getting the proper medication to those in need with excellent results, however, if you are old, pre-existing conditions, and other complications , yes, it will be very dangerous, but for a huge amount of people it is no more than your typical flu. Hydroxychloroquine has been looking very promising that sometimes used in conjunction with azithromycin has also worked very well. Just imagine if biden or bernie were president right now, we would have all open borders, all flights in and out would still be available, all the hundreds of thousands coming in, if ill they would receive “free” medical that YOU would pay for and they would be taking spots in the hospital, that maybe you or a family member may have needed. But no matter what, none of you will admit how blessed we are to have Trump running things, he has done an outstanding job.
@Septembers Whisper No you dont know what Biden or Bernie would have done but they would certainly not have called the virus a Hoax. And no Trump has not done an outstanding job which is why his approval ratings are low.
@jfsfrnd https://www.foxnews.com/media/bernie-sanders-wouldnt-close-us-borders-coronavirus https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/bernie-sanders-says-he-wouldnt-close-border-to-combat-coronavirus-outbreak https://www.redstate.com/jeffc/2020/03/14/biden-insists-on-opposing-coronavirus-travel-ban-despite-the-advice-of-experts/ https://thefederalist.com/2020/03/19/neither-biden-nor-sanders-would-have-saved-american-lives-with-travel-bans-like-trump-did/ By the way, Trumps ratings are actually up.
Stop it with the “Panic Marketing.”
Give us FACTS and nothing more.
This is why you all are getting a bad reputation.
@Kunga Dorje because Trump hasn’t made big joke about this whole thing, right? he called it a hoax.
@Shem Rafael Sasil Andong We don’t need a montage, with emotional triggering music, to understand what is happening.
We also don’t need to hear a recap of all terrible things that could and might happen.
That’s all.
@Stephanie Drake I’m pointing a bigger problem here. Trust me, I’m not looking to the White House for facts.
@Stephanie Drake He is doing what he can. Stop following your media overlords. China has failed and now Trump has to fix it. Look how he is proactively making an effort to stop an economic crisis and a health crisis. Democrats wouldn’t do any better.
@Stephanie Drake No matter where Trump stands on a position you will always disagree. The media told you everything he does is bad and you believe it.
ominous music in the background, trying to spread panic are we?
Watching and hearing these things still seems so unreal. I keep coming to realization that this is real life right now. My anxiety is strugggggling 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Don’t worry and stress. We will get through this together.
Chaos and Order

Bro just go shopping lol
Hang in there my sister. Get you some lavender oil and put it on the inside of your wrists and on the back of your neck. The lavender on these pulse points will take your stress down a notch or two. Eat a clove of raw garlic 🧄 every day and it will supercharge your immune system against germs 🦠 etc. I take it every day! We will all get through this…..Patience is key. 👌🏻☺️
