When The U.S. President Represents A Global Health Crisis | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Then why does he want the WH staff tested daily. He is scared of dying.
he is scared full stop
What do you mean? He “dies” every time he gets on camera!
I can’t believe he’s stupid enough to say that like everyone else is stupid for wanting what he gets everyday!!
@T. Clements I can.
@Lueva Jackson You have that wrong. It’s the do nothing citizens that allow corrupt swamp lizards to run our government. We have the power to make sure every aspect of government is run by the people except too many citizens are fooled into thinking they’re voting for the better candidate. Americans need to put in the work if we want government to work for the people.
That’s like saying “if I don’t open my bills, I’m not in debt.”
It’s amazing that his supporters don’t care how many working stiffs Mr Money Bags has screwed over…….all because he can.
This guy walks on working people’s backs for fun.
Sick.
Like the cartoon coyote who runs past the cliff and doesn’t fall from the sky… until he looks down!
@Douglas Lowe Excellent expansion of the analogy, succeeding in expanding the humor as well. And the humor is important, as it facilitates “grokking” of the absurdity of what we are dealing with, deepening the impression . . . it behooves every one of us to hammer it into our heads what a dufus we have for POTUS, and how badly this cries out for corrective action. Kudos.
Nelson R. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂 great Comment💯😂😂 I want to be able to do that with my bills
Get rid of him , he’s crazy
Naaaa…. hes a “stable genius”
He said it himself.
That stable genius believes Hackenbush is a real doctor.
I remember when he won the election, I was thinking, I hope the US doesn’t have a major crisis while he’s President, it won’t end well. Here we are
I thought it too and to think I started to sigh in relief that we had made it through without testing him and his presidency was almost over! But here, in the 11th hour, he shows how much destruction he can create just from dropping the ball so hard!
Totally true.
And it’s not going to end well is a certainty, regardless of the election results. Trump put a stain on America and the world that will last forever.
Trump has done a lot of damage.
Me too…..he’s destroying this country.
Hmm…. how come he’s testing himself daily then?
Because he’s a orange bully hipocrite
👿
Terry Kelley
Obama was a black billy!
because he is a coward and scared it will get him…I for one hope it,s soon.
Calling that orange joke a “president” is an insult to every REAL leader thats ever set foot in the oval office. Trump is garbage. The world has never seen a more pathetic excuse for a “president”.
Nicole Brown like the liberals trying everything to make him look bad.
Wendy Tipton Ob
@Gregg Keyser Trump doesn’t need any help to make himself look bad.
@Gregg Keyser HE’S MAKING HIMSELF LOOK BAD ALL ON HIS OWN! HE DON’T NEED NO HELP FOR THAT.
frictionRx9 it’s so funny to see this ignorant crap, take one sentence and make it into something hateful. Liberals do it over and over ,making up garbage by taking stuff out of context. Feeding their brainwashed beliefs.
“No no no … what he meant was…”, ” he was just joking/being sarcastic”, “but Obama”
Oh, oh! My turn! Don’t forget “true patriots/warriors don’t need tests because their moral fortitude will protect them from the liberal Democratic virus hoax.”
Oh wait! I forgot “freedom” and “constitutional rights” in there, darn it. Add those words somewhere. Doesn’t really matter where. It’s all just buzz words salad anyway.
This post and the first two comments that followed sum everything up perfectly. What an absolute travesty.
We don’t want another 4 years of his stupidity. VOTE
@alex Bissing You have truly lost leave of your senses! Ignorance is not Strength! If you think this is Greatness, I would really hate to see what terrible looks like! Jesus Christ!
@alex Bissing The same thing that happen to all of Donald Trumps taxes, nothing.
alex Bissing trump is done buddy come January he go bye bye and you cry cry.
@alex Bissing The Repubs spent a lot of taxpayer money investigating “those emails” and found nothing… I guess you aren’t keeping up.
Trump forever!
I have never been afraid to be an American until now.
Histopher Citchens Wise observation. It’s no accident that the education system in America is failing.
lamontma1 It’s not Trump that’s Hitler. It’s Bill Gates.
Mamma Jones 😂. He thanks you for your vote. All of you. 😂
I feel you! Listen to the science! Don’t let you’re guard down! Vote Trump out 2020!
I get that. but your comment also means you missed the last 30+ yrs.
MORE, actually. here’s an easy one: why did US declare war against Grenada? (find it on a map, read about Grenada … THEN read why US declared war)
Testing is over rated when it comes to us being tested, but yet he and his administration get tested every day..SMH!
Trump: if you close your eyes you wont see the virus
Smart americans: this is literally the dumbest time to be alive
Jordan
Herman Georing had an IQ of 138
Jordan
The average black person iq is 80
@Michael Can you count that high?
Robert Buxton
Yes.
Oh my God, the world is laughing at us. We are the joke.
Noises, Please keepin mind that he actually received 2.8 million less votes than Clinton. We have a terribly antiquated voting system here.
you were always clowns
Sorry but yes!!!
Here in germany NO ONE could believe, that he would get elected!! But he did! I thought this must be a joke… if he gets to be elected again…. omg what does that say about you Americans….
No the world is laughing at your president, he doesn’t reflect on the people. Just don’t vote him back in
@Mark Green Thank you. I will.
Oh and by the way, I was so happy when your Prime Minister made it back to the living. I prayed so hard for him to make it through, and he did. There’s something about your leader that I like so much. I will never forget your genuine kindness.
You take care☺💙.
Trump’s philosophy: Invisible things are clean。
Especially with the use of bleach and other disinfectants.
Stupidity has it’s limits, but Donald Trump’s stupidity, knows no boundaries.
Sorry man but stupidity does not have a limit
Still Trump: everyone who wants to get tested, can get the test. Inject that disinfectant to him NOW!
“This is a terrible time to have a terrible government” says Rachel.
White Candle This is exactly what I mean. She’s a paid actress.
@jones What is the size of her viewers and what part of America do they come from? I would guess that a great Majority of her viewers come from CA NY and NJ. well good just that CA NY and NJ never have any real impact on the Election of the American President. CA never once in Americas History has ever had any impact on the Presidential Elections. The 55 votes that CA has never one time put a President Over the 270 or prevented one from getting the 270. We know CA NY NJ are gone. So we write them off and look to the Real America. The Coasts can do what they want they will have little impact in November. They will get their Socialists in the Senate and House but they will also lose the House and lost seats in the senate. Americans in general do not care about the world we care if we can get a new Pool or that new car for a graduation gift for our child. Thse that care about the people that make bad life choices do not want to have their Tax Dollars wasted but we also give to places set up for that Charities. Watch as things like the WTO and the UN and the World Health Organization all fall because America is pulling away from them. We do not need them the way they are now. we have the medical insight the Economic Power and the Military Power to stand without them. As with every person that hates Pres9ident Trump and those of us that support Him. You Hate America First and Only. You also have they right because Americans gave their lives giving you that right. Be well stay safe and trey to learn what it is to be American.
Michael Your point being……?? Her sexual does not make what she says any less true.
@Swaggy [GD] And that means what? She couldn’t pass any real Collage classes ? Kind of like Gender Studies that and a well filled out application will get you a job at K-Mart
@Lucy Mesecher Michael is merely a troll, and he pleasures himself by pushing people’s buttons. Using reason or logic with the immature fool makes you his victim. He is merely baiting . . . and you took the bait. I am sure of this and found this out earlier today, and have seen his posts elsewhere and there is no doubt. It is not homophobia, it is worse than that. He also makes racist remarks; he states no postions, he just tries to push buttons and apparently sucks up the fact that he can get a reaction. It is a sad sickness, indeed.
Namaste.
Rachel says “This is a terrible time to have a terrible government”.
No Rachel, this is a terrible time BECAUSE we have a terrible government’!
trump is the human embodiment of the word Stupid. No one does stupid like trump does 🤣
@Rob Ceriani *_Obama rides llamas in his mama’s pajamas._*
Take your embarrassing idiotic delusional Obama drama to Yokohama.
Nobody is buying your laughable fantasy here, genius.
@jones I’m very happy the mental health center let you play on the computer for a little while
@Rob CerianiSo… what you’re stating is that trump studied to be stupid. He obviously graduated with honors 🤣
@Jon Doe you’re as funny as Joe Bidens attempts to seem competent
Ego is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity. * Booker T. Washington *
Trump’s mantra: My authority is total but I don’t take responsibility at all.
