Trump’s Red State Presidency Leaves U.S. Without Unifying Leadership | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

From the start of his administration, Donald Trump has favored the states that elected him to office, often at the expense of "blue states" that voted against him. That practice is especially perilous in the face of an epidemic that ignores party lines and requires a unified response to quell. Aired on 7/31/2020.

  1. Donals Trump is a one term, impeached, unfaithful to his spouse, 5 time bankrupt, narcissist who surrounds himself with convicted felons. A complete disaster!

    1. @Warm Violet No content channel, with thousands of bland cut and paste pro Trump comments, we see you comrade.

    2. Tyrants playbook: cause enough chaos long enough for government to be deemed useless. Install a propaganda machine. Blame a vulnerable minority for all the woes of your world. Discredit free press. Sidestep the legislative and judicial branches of government. Bring out your own brown shirts and control the streets. Upend individual freedoms and constitutional guarantees. Fire all competent career administrators and replace them with anyone willing to carry your water and do your dirty work. Declare the elections results fraudulent and call out your private army. Jail anyone opposing you without any due process. Reign supreme and bring the age of darkness upon us all. This only takes four years to accomplish. Divide. Conquer. Repeat. It ALWAYS works. Ask the Germans, the Cubans, The Eastern Europeans, and now the Americans.

    3. . 💡 see thru the Leftist Manipulation, aided by the biased, unbalanced media and #WALKAWAY from the Democrats Socialist Plantation, realize almost all the high crime, bad schooling, police misconduct, drug pushing, and gang violence occurs in Cities like Chicago, Atlanta, NY,Minneapolis, LA , Portland, etc , where the Municipalities and Mayors are …… DEMOCRATS. 👎👎 < they eternally take our Minority votes and then betray us > #WALKAWAY from the vote swindling and neglect ; 👀👀👀👀 open your Eyes and join Us = #WALKAWAY

    5. @Warm Violet So who actually composes these messages and how many of you are there? Does it pay well, always looking for a side huddle comrade.

  2. Trump decided not to act on Covid-19 because at the beginning it was affecting Blue States and he said to let them suffer, he could blame the Governors.
    So, he owns this disease, the Trump Virus.

    1. Trump supporters still cheering him on as he leads them to the edge of a cliff. Donnie could teach Jim Jones and David Koresh a master class on managing a cult

    2. @The Blade We always knew they would follow him off the cliff. We just didn’t know the cliff would actually be a deadly virus that dear leader turned political.

    1. 💡 all fellow American Minorities = plz wake up and move to the RIGHT ! my family & I had our #WALKAWAY moment when Sneaky Barrack told Us all that the TARMAC MEETING was a mere “coincidence” and the Media robotically Nodded in agreement 💡 , it is feeling of Freedom to #WALKAWAY from the Democrats Socialist Plantation ❤

  3. I have said for weeks now, Trump’s response to COVID is more genocide than incompetence. We do indeed have a Trumpandemic in America.

    1. But a virus knows no borders and makes no political distinctions, something that a stable genius like Trump might have considered. [But didn’t.]

    2. Donald Trump has CAUSED the Death of Thousands of Americans, with his deliberate inaction, I would call it Negligent Homicide on a Mass scale.
      You definitely have a Trumpandemic in America. He’s made the virus his own, he owns the virus, it’s the Trumpvirus which is causing a Trumpandemic in America.

    3. I just said that to a friend we are without guidance from this prez, I think he is so petty he would allow people to die. Oh well another day another dollar. Give putin what he wants

    1. see thru the Leftist Manipulation, aided by the biased, unbalanced media and #WALKAWAY from the Democrats Socialist Plantation, realize almost all the high crime, bad schooling, police misconduct, drug pushing, and gang violence occurs in Cities like Chicago, Atlanta, NY,Minneapolis, LA , Portland, etc , where the Municipalities and Mayors are …… DEMOCRATS. 👎👎 < they eternally take our Minority votes and then betray us > #WALKAWAY from the vote swindling and neglect ; 👀👀👀👀 open your Eyes and join Us = #WALKAWAY

    2. @Ellen Peba I am a swing voter, and I am voting straight blue this November. You alt right extremists view middle of the road as the radical left because you’re so far right.

    3. @voodooblue61 blue It’s genocide against Americans living in blue states. Dead people cannot vote, so he doesn’t care if they die. Our president is despicable and disgusting.

  4. Jared called the federal reserve of medical supplies “OURS, NOT THEIRS “…. Talking about blue states

    1. No , research the facts Trisha. He said it’s for the Fed , NOT the states … the biased , antiTrump news swindled U by NOT editing out the next sentence

  5. trump only thinks in red and blue, white and black – literally. His mindset is exactly that of a fascist.

    1. No, he only thinks in ‘those who like and praise me and those who don’t’. Actual political sentiment means virtually nothing to him, other than whatever aids in his goal to feel all-powerful.

    2. 👀 this MSNBC is soooooo IN THE BAG for Joe Biden 💡 = not balanced “news” : it is Actually an Arm of the Democratic Party 👀see thru the Media Manipulation and #WALKAWAY from the Democrats Socialist Plantation, plz recognize the Bamboozlement and #WALKAWAY ! 💡.

  6. Someone in Washington once said
    ” America will never be destroyed from the outside if we falter and lose our freedoms it will be because we destroyed ourselves ”
    People/trump please don’t turn this into a prophecy

    1. Racist white people keep all minorities down so what are you saying your same white people are testing down your beautiful country because that white house is only white people

    1. Trump didn’t loot New York.
      Trump didn’t murder Chicagoans
      Trump didn’t give Seattle to thugs
      Trump didn’t defund police
      Trump didn’t cause 58 days of riots in Portland
      Trump didn’t blind officers w lasers
      Trump didn’t release looters, rapists & killers,
      Trump didn’t it put hundreds of covid-19 patients in nursing homes the Democrats did,… You actually think the people that are looting and rioting are Trump supporters??? Or perhaps Democrat supporters influenced by fake news??? Let that be food for thought.

    2. bert larsen he just killed 150k Americans because of his lack of leadership during the PANDEMIC! #trumpvirus!!

    3. Trump has succeeded in many ways: tax cuts for the very rich, eating more KFC than any other president, appointing more members of his family to powerful positions. He is the Chosen One.

  7. Ouch. So almost 70% of the US citizens
    don’t have a President, because officially he doesn’t care about them because they don’t vote for him

    1. I’m optimistic this year!

      We’ve got the numbers if you consider we have the pool of likely voters below:

      60 million Hispanics
      23 million Asian Americans
      48 million Blacks
      8 million Jews
      5 million Native Americans

    2. @Troll Buster I agree with everything on this list except the demon sperm babies. They’re babies dude, babies can’t vote! Once they’ve become demon sperm adults they can exorcize their rights.

    3. He’s been like that since the beginning when he campaigned basically the week after he was inaugurated.

    4. The sad part is that 48.5% did vote for him. He ignores 18.5% of his voters because the whole state did not vote for him. Hum, I am betting that is the 18.5% that removes him from the White House come November. Besides I am from Texas and he is loosing here now.

  8. Responses to a pandemic raging through society:

    Reasonable people: Hey, this is really bad. Let’s work together to do something about this.

    Trump and his family: How can we use this to gain political advantage?

    1. “How can we use this to gain political advantage”.
      Ha ha. The brass neck of you cretins is unbelievable.

    1. @Nicholas Halsey WEELL HELLO THARE, It’s the English Major HeAAR, old boy. Just to say, That No-one in their right mind would want Donald Trump to win D’you Agree Old Sport?

  9. This was all done because it makes him feel better. He’s a narcissist and needs some form of love. Trump is the worse president ever. A president is the leader of the entire nation, this guy is president of himself.

  10. Don’t forget AMERICA TRUMP is Only a HOAX…… that will soon just disappear!!!! Hale Luya!!!! 🙏
