Trump's Intel Briefing Book Repeatedly Cited Virus Threat: Report | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Lyin’ Don the con lives in a bubble of ignorance.
VOTE!
@mighty mouse sssssssssssss static
@Steven Probably both, hehe.
Yes!!!….Vote!!!
And arrogance.
That needs to be on a tshirt.
These are the problems that you have with a incompetent president who is too narcassiatic to look past himself. He is a failed businessman and a failed president. Vote Blue!!
@Tf2knight A MAGA-T
You got it.
Trump wins in November
@Ke Mo Wins what?
@OSKA your heart
Not only was he ignoring these briefings… he was actively contradicting them. That’s where it goes from simple incompetence to down right deception.
Trump needed to eliminate half of the voters, to have a chance at reelection
@Ramon Castaneda which half? The young? Theres not gonna be enough old people to vote for him theyre all gonna die of covid
Willfull deception directly leading to thousands of unnecessary additional deaths is criminal liability.
@AOA YUNARIA AKA the Republican Party Platform.
contradicting? I agree.
I hope that Trump will disappear…like a miracle…
George Chase If you are kidding, not funny. If you are serious …you are not rational.
@George Chase Spot on, a King. Kings being similar to Dictators. Is that what you mean, have i misunderstood what you’ve said. You want to be a serf.
Christophe L. WE THE PEOPLE ALL FEEL THE SAME WAY ABOUT THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, IT SHOULD JUST DROWN IN ITS OWN MISERY AND BE GONE FOREVER.
@mighty mouse Irony is, it’s welfare programs the democrats fight for that are probably keeping you alive. I’m starting to think a portion of Americans are suicidal, unable to accept a future the scientists are warning about.
…in April hopefully !
Donny Disaster wants to go after China for his own Negligence.
And judging by our numbers, he did it far worse than China.
*Negligence
@Don Jonsen
I know, and I even used SpellCheck.
Perhaps I should ware my Glasses when I write.
@Gary Schultz ‘Wear’ your glasses? Perhaps you should purchase a dictionary, Gary. Spell check doesn’t do homonyms, I’m afraid.
@Lumby1
What ever….. I’m just glad you were able to figure it out.
@Gary Schultz Very subtle sarcasm sometimes goes overhead. There are lots of commenters who don’t have to pretend to be semi-literate. You did spell ‘write’ correctly, and not ‘ware’.
Well, he got lots of briefings by the intelligence agencies, but he believed in Putin. So who’s surprised he didn’t listen to the corona virus briefings? Not me.
Don’t talk with Trump about that.
He also listened to Israel.
@Michael Lam he believes the dictators
We already knew (from early in his “presidency”) that Trump didn’t pay attention to his daily intelligence briefings. If we get out of the Trump presidency without a serious national security crisis, it will be a miracle. I felt better when he had Mattis and McMaster around to provide adult guidance. Now, I’m not so assured.
@Herb Liptow Well, there’s incompetence in so many levels, so I really can’t say. Would Trump believe if there was a military threat? He doesn’t seem very worried when Kim Jong Un launches missilea (as long as he gets a nice letter).
TRUMP IS BLAMING OUTHERS TO DEFLECT THE BLOOD HE HAS ON HIS OWN HANDS
Trump is satan in person
@SL *** truth has spoken
He knew that China was spreading disinformation. He knew the severity of this biological threat. He got briefings on it back in January and February yet continued to downplay the situation instead of enacting mass testing and other preventive measures to get it under control. This was critical to stopping it from spreading uncontrolled throughout the population. He is directly responsible for these mass casualties and catastrophic economic losses that we are experiencing now.
CEDE NULLIS LOL psychopaths don’t have feelings.
Meanwhile, the sky is blue, and water is wet…
Trump was too busy golfing and having rallys to care about stupid Intelligent Briefings. Remember he doesn’t trust intelligence people and would listen to Russia over his own intel people.
TRUMP/FOX LIED PEOPLE DIED
Absolutely right. We have the video evidence to prove it.
Hard at play run from work.
You got me at “he doesn’t trust intelligence” anything..
WELL. MANY of the arrogant Intelligence boys are MORONIC racist criminal war-invested-mongers! BUT, these were all by Trump himself installed Cronies who were warning the illiterate and sociopath raping scum-bag about the threat of a new PANDEMIC, not about oil-rich Iraq’s none-existing WMD’s, Kiddos.
Meaning also.
CERTAINLY the “Russian” Mafia Don & sociopath Nazi Führer Trump knew far ahead of time what was coming:
American Fascists’ + NAZIS’ Trumpism, the GOP-Churches-controlled “Legal” Monsanto-filled Marijuana, VAPING induced Popcorn Lungs & Trump Hydroxychloroquine PUSHING- abuses-caused strokes and cardiac arrhythmia, The Direct Correlations ( beside that YOU ignorant Banana-Republiclan Americans are mere cognitive lame idiots MAINLY certainly, Kiddos!) 😊😷🤗💞

Meaning: Trump is indeed an anti-Semitic, anti-Multicultural and anti-Liberals-operating American Nazi who is intentional flooding and decimating NY and NJ with dangerous fake science and via strokes & cardiac arrhythmia causing deadly meds!

DJT will be remembered as the worst president in history
@TheNinthGeneration dimshit, same number were slated to die from the flu this year, surprisingly no one died of flu this year. Every rule in the history of supply and demand were broke by this WH and no state went without needed supplies, including ventilators. Look at Fauci’s warning in November saying it would be a severe flu year, so far covid numbers match flu predictions.
Ke Mo actually the flu killed around 57,000 over the entire flu season from October to April, whereas COVID has killed 65,000 from February to May, more deaths in less time. Yes the states having their medical supplies met is a good thing, but at one point you had states bidding for supplies because you think healthcare is a private business instead of a public service like police or firefighters
@TheNinthGeneration actually its mostly been flu deaths all along, so many Covid cases are very iffy and should not have made it on the death certificate.
Ke Mo I’m helping out at the foothills hospital in my city, and I have had people tested for both COVID and the flu and the flu test was negative while the COVID test was positive. Also the flu does not give you fibrosis (scarred lung tissue) while that’s one of the many things that COVID does, bad many of the people who have died have carried lung tissue which strongly suggests they died either directly from COVID or a post COVID bacterial infection which attacked when their immune system was weak and there was no defensive lining in their lungs
@TheNinthGeneration those figures dont match the CDC data, they are wrapping up flu view due to a so called low activity year and the focus is on hyping covid numbers.
tRump needs to be removed from office due to total incompetence and astounding stupidity
@Anonymous Wayshowers Oh dear…..
James Carroll NOT UNTIL 80% OF DEMOCRATS ARE VOTED OUT OF GOVERNMENT WITH TERM LIMITS AND JAIL TIME.

*DONALD J TRUMP IS THE WORST PRESIDENT IN US HISTORY*
@James K. Boyle You’re – the correct way to use it – a joke. Why is it you trumpers can’t, won’t, or just don’t know how to use proper grammar? If you can’t even get that right, or take the time to proofread, then how can you be taken seriously.
@covfefe when confronted with facts, the liberals become rude.
Facts matter.
@covfefe no absolutely not discredited, yoyr comparing the last 3 years of obama to Trump first 3 years.
Do you understand how great things would be under Trump after renegotiating 75 years of defunked deals!
Obama got 8 years, Trump should be able reap the benifits of all the new deals he has negotiated.
Everybody understands that things are going to explode for our economy in the next 6 years.
All due to Trump.
@James K. Boyle Where was I rude? In fact it is the other way around. Since I questioned your comment, shouldn’t it be incumbent on you to provide the facts? I don’t need to show you the facts they are out there, at the BLS, the BEA, in Forbes, Fortune, BI, CNBC. Take a peak.
@James K. Boyle You use the phrase, ” how great things would be under trump,” If it was so great, the phrase you’d be looking for is “how great things are.” Who are all these people who know that things will explode in 6 years. Why do we have to wait 6 years? Why not 2,or 3? Oh I see so while Obama is strengthening the economy during his administration, we’ll have to wait until trump is done, before we see the benefits.
What nonsense. Economists, Financial Analysts, Money Managers, Business Correspondents are not under the “explosion” idea.” He might in fact explode the economy no doubt, but not in a beneficial way.
Yet again, you’re talking about actions, call me when the results are in. Oh I already know the results.
Finally, what are these great deals? I don’t see none. You’ll bring up the USMCA, but look a little further, you won’t find much change, and parts of a trade deal, trump was against.
Republicans , so this is the genius that we poor Liberals are so below in intelligence that we could never understand his ways ??
Were you not paying attention in the months leading up to the 2016 election? You can’t take Trump literally. You can’t listen to his words. He speaks only in riddles and metaphors. And sometimes in limericks. Clearly, you’re just confused cause he’s playing 4-d chess right now.
…. Truth be told, and in all seriousness, I still have no clue how a man who’s words were entirely without meaning, even by admission of his voting base, got elected.
@junkbarrage whoo, you had me scared for a second !!
The worst is when they say he’s “winning” or that he’s playing “4D chess.” The entire world and most of his own nation is laughing at him but that’s somehow winning? H’e’s playing 4D chess? Why? Because the GoP backs him up and lie straight faced to the people they should be serving? That he got caught multiple time for multiple scandals but they protect him from justice? That’s 4D chess? He’s playing by himself.
@EN N At some points in the race Hillary was 12 points ahead…
You know Republicans have completely lost when their only argument is, “What about Joe Biden?” 😂🤣
This is what happens when you elect a bully with an 8th grade mentality.
Don’t insult 8th grade. Dom dumpkof is a stable lunatic
4th grade tops
@ladydruyear exactly, im gonna go with 2nd grade. although he babbles a lot so maybe kindie.
I’d say he has a Kindergarten mentality and that is even setting the bar too high. Ugh!!!
right wingers are bullies themselves so no surprise. they love to hate-watch mainstream media and although the news isn’t entirely believable, it’s much more believable than the lazy conman in the white house. their covid attitude is that it’s life, people die, who cares.
Of course he ignored it ! It wasn’t about him! That and he doesn’t like reading anything! The book anonymous!
I’m convinced he didn’t ever have to learn to, the maids he had had to read to the little spoiled brat!
Just like Bush Jr ignored intel about AQ attack … when do Americans learn , never to vote for republicans ?
Under Obama republicans were upset , that Obama read the 12 page daily intel briefing him self and did not have someone read it to him as Bush Jr .
He could be a dem or rep it dose not mater he is narcissistic they take no responsibility for any and the will blame any one but him it’s just not in there DNA wake up Americans
How can he read while he
can’t spell.
Maybe he has a reading disability and is trying to hide it?
This is the problem with having a president who doesn’t like to read or work.
@Bill Pool ….LOL
bobmatzke he doesn’t know got to read
SigmaTauri2: Perfect! If any trumpian cultists have the courage, look up the symptoms and description of a Sociopath. I read the book “The Sociopath Next Door” and was stunned by how accurately it describes Herr trump. I thought it was about trump; I found this book all crumbled in a pile of books yet to be read, couldn’t remember getting it, but after reading the opening chapters, I thought it must be a recent purchase, as it describes trump to perfection! Turns out it was published in 2005, and was a nonfiction book by an eminent psychologist about Sociopaths in general! And, yikes, does he fit the bill. For those who don’t feel like making the effort, or would forget, the official diagnosis is: A Sociopath is a person who does not have a conscience; who is incapable of feeling remorse, or empathy for anyone he/she hurts in any way in his efforts to get what he wants. He feels justified in whatever he says and does. If anyone is interested, it’s easy to read, not an academic level book, is professional, & accurate, but written in way that makes the elements of the Sociopathic person easy to understand. It has some examples of patient’s behaviors; I was going to skip these (I’ll cop to it ~ I thought they would be boring!) but they brought up examples that ultimately hit the bullseye for Herr trump. Or maybe a coworker, or that obnoxious cousin. I highly recommend it. It pays to know your enemy, and after reading this, you’ll remember the many, many times he exhibited these very behaviors, sometimes on a daily basis. He’s already made statements during interviews, and once that I saw, so there’re no doubt other others that were just dismissed as trumpian hyperbole. During the first interview post election, the 1st interview that I saw, he spoke openly that he’ll need (I apologize for my late night memory; but I’m always exact in what write. If I haven’t seen this this behavior or that speech, or it doesn’t come from a reputable radio interview or news report I won’t use it in a comment. No 2nd hand reports.) when he was asked, he said his first order of business would be to “update the Constitution…it’s so old fashioned and doesn’t reflect the way we live now, what our culture is….”. When asked if he would be running for a 2nd term, “Oh, I’ll need (here’s my memory number fumble, or I’m inserting an “or” in the interest of being as truthful as possible)….probably 3 to 4 OR 5 to 6 terms to change decades of poor legislation,…there’s a lot of bad legislation that’s gotta go…America can’t go on like this…”. When reminded about that pesky Constitution & term limits, what if he wasn’t re-elected in 2020, he just sat back casually and said “I’m not worried about that” (then words about the huge numbers he’s going to win by….) I have the best people, the most loyal supporters in the history of this country…the Atty. General, I hired him, I’m the Commander In Chief of every branch of the military, they are required to do what I tell them to do, I have the gun people, the National Guard, my very loyal base of supporters (he neglected to include the nazis, who are growing in numbers, who swear allegiance to him because this is I quote; I saw n heard on tv just after the Charlottesville protest, nazi marching a la hitler, full nazi regalia on, I’m not sure if this interview was before or after one of these trump supporters purposefully drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters, killing a woman and injuring others)…and one of their fervently held reasons they are so loyal to trump is “he’s going to bring the Fourth Reich right here to trump’s America!!! The Americans thought they killed us off…we’ve all seen pictures of American soldiers laying in the mud, (this part is from 2 to 3 nazis, there’s was so much whooping & craziness it sounded worse than the crowds at a football game with hyper nemesis’s going after each other…lol, just a little hyperbole, but it was loud!!) then one or 2 of them betting in “ yeah, they’re eyes were open, but they ain’t seen nothin” “ or “ their faces down in the mud,…cool..”. My Dad fought in WW11, did anyone’s Dad make the ultimate sacrifice for America? Well, there are more than a few fascists in the trump administration, and trump did, finally, say “ok, I’ll just say it! I’m a Nationalist, a proud Nationalist, ok? Then later on, when an brave reporter asked him if he was aware that that was a term used by hitler, his top cronies, and Germans in general, because, among other reasons, Germany comes 1st, they will rid the world of “those filthy Jews” and conquer every country they enter. And rule them all. I know this is horrifically long, so one last quote regarding trump’s mental illnesses and where he is leading with them. (besides bringing nazi filth, the Fourth Reich to America; not very probable, but it does illustrate the mind set!). After an impromptu press chat, where trump said he wishes he got the same respect kim got (a dictatorship full to the brim of jailing anyone suspected (hey, just like hitler n every dictator the world over!) of saying negative things about him (trump uses the words mean, nasty) torture, and death, and likewise putin, just the guys we want our leadership to show reverence for; trump has said/sang about how “I just love him, I really do, I can’t help it” about the dictator of an enemy nation. Anyway, after singing kim’s praises, the press is far away enough that trump felt comfortable saying in a low voice, very serious, very quiet, to the man next to him “I would like to be president for life.”. And that is just one of the issues at risk in November. You’ve got 2 choices. No, not typical party ideology. Do you have a conscience? Then you’ll vote to protect our status as a Democratic Republic, holding dear our Constitution that guarantees our rights, like to speech, freedom of the press, to vote our conscience…or to vote without one, See Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder, defined above, and live under a dictatorship (note the word under), I would imagine that would be quite an adjustment, which would you like to tell your children/grandchildren about how YOU voted in this historical election. With the help of Russia, possibly China, and the usual hi-jinks our own republican pulls every election, making voting all but impossible for the poor & some middle class citizens (moving polling places further away, where public trans is not available, altering voter registration info from “certain” neighborhoods, things like that, you get my drift…And I promised to close, but with what’s at stake, I have issues with limiting my issues with trump; I absolutely cannot deal with what could so easily send our country, currently a proud Democratic Republic, into a strong probability of an authoritarian government; and especially one with such dangerous personality disorders who wants to be “president for life”…..Remember: A Sociopath is without conscience, has no ability to feel remorse or empathy for anyone hurt in their quest for their own goals, wants, benefits of any sort, or personal/professional/political gains. Only unpatriotic, corrupt or conscience free individuals or groups would take their current freedom to vote their conscience ~ and then ~ vote against having that freedom.
@Cynthia O’Keefe I couldn’t agree more with you. But I’m even more impressed you took the time to type this out lol
TdawggLA Lol! Thank you! Sadly for those reading the comments, they probably see my name n the eyes roll back into their heads as they connect my name with the “War & Peace” length of my vituperative diatribes against Herr trump! Could you tell I’ve got some serious fears about this alleged president and his Sociopathic rules according to trump? Any concept of expository communication is gone when I see what trump thread is going on. As someone who’s been an unofficial student of WW11, and the Holocaust I don’t see trump as the type of screw up president America needs & deserves. So my issues just build up as fast as my outrage whenever he does or says something so infuriating, lies, or admits his power mad goals for him as the all-powerful Oz trump, the guy trying to hide his corrupt behavior behind the curtain. Like Dorothy, I was suspicious of his veracity from the get go. And in this surreal political landscape, when do We get the hot air balloon to take him far away? Soo, see what I mean? One thought just leads to another! I’ll I needed was “thank you” but I was compelled to explain the extreme lengths! And thank you for reading the da*n thing! Did you make it til the end, or go into a coma saying “make it stop” or “gotta get out of here”?
Trump need to be held responsible for the lives lost.
@CV N TRUMP LIED PEOPLE DIED
@Keith Riley – I hope the Evangelical part of his cult are reading your comment.
Just For Fun the evangelicals ?? Where are they now?? I don’t see them or hear them defending their chosen one. Why could that be??

@moose boy
Dumbly GOPs love their bumbest president treat

@moose boy Those briefings are classified and the president wouldn’t declassify them because he believed in his gut it wasn’t going to be bad.
@moose boy If any person of Congress revealed they thought a pandemic was coming the would be arrested for leaking classified information.
@Hussein WARSAMA some republican senator’s all ready told Mitch they have the votes to remove him as leader if he doesn’t change his stance on Bankruptcy.
And the Republican Senators (save 1) let his get away with it! He will learn a lesson!!!!!
And we thought Hitler was the antichrist. We see a bigger one now.
