Woodward: ‘No Guidance From The President’ On Coronavirus Pandemic | The Last Word | MSNBC
I love how Trump says he didn’t play it down and then he’ll go on a rant about how deadly it is, while he tells everyone that it’s going away. But it was a hoax… and.. I give up
And his supporters go “yep, that’s our guy.” 🤦🏾♂️
Trump doesn’t dare speak the truth about the virus because the American people are trapped in the CNN MSNBC Echo chamber and only believe the lies
@Schuyler EbbetsBBC DW PBS and Al Jazeera, on YouTube there’s UK s Dr John Campbell, Thom Hartman, podsave America, ,Glen Kirshner, Malcolm Nance, governor’s of New York, CA, Dr Redman, Dr Fauci, John Hopkins for world data. YOU appear to need to escape YOUR misinformation hole.
Schuyler Ebbets – Michael Cohen (Trumps former personal attorney) confirmed in his book that Trump’s campaign in 2016 was basically a giant infomercial to take his business global. He didn’t intend or even want to win the election. Lol. You think he cares about you? His own sister calls him a “man of no principles” and a “liar” and his own niece says he “is utterly incapable of leading this country and it’s dangerous to allow him to do so” He calls dead American warriors “Losers” and “Suckers”. Michael Cohen says Trump once said after meeting evangelical Christians: ‘Can you believe people believe that bulls—?’ He has contempt for the people who vote for him. He is infamous in New York for stiffing blue collar workers, small businesses, contractors and suppliers who he worked with. And then threatening lawsuits if they came after him for the $ they were owed. He’s a conman, plain and simple. All image, no substance. He wouldn’t be caught dead walking down a Manhattan street with you or anyone in your family. And yet you’ll enthusiastically walk to the polls for him on November 3rd. I feel sorry for the people he has fooled and angry at the forces that helped make it happen.
trump just go, your done, we are over you…..
I with ya bro!
Hit the bricks 45.

All the kool-aid drinking Trump supporters keep saying “Trump 2020″… Nah.. It should be “Trump, 20 to LIFE! He deserves to rot in jail!
Armando Aguila you drank the media koolaid!
Donald tRump is like one of those North Korean Nuclear Missiles in that both are devoid of any guidance system & operate wildly!

@Schuyler Ebbets Biden lies? Trump lies and cheats at just about everything.😝 even cheats on his golf courses….🏌️♂️⛳ that a Fact! 👍
LOL!
He’s a scud.
Donald Trump – – the one and only Flim-Flam Man!!! It’s all a con that is currently being played on the American Public.

@Mark Black Well written and stated.
@John Lightfoot Excellent point.
Action speak louder than words.
Biden!
His cult does not see it. Our media is failing to report the Liar fair and square. There are not two sides here. Donald J Trump lies all the time. Not calling him out has led us here. People need to talk straight.
You ever wonder why when he is asked what he did to stop the coronavirus the only policy that the Orange Trumpanzee can point to is the travel ban. So he only had 1 policy and he couldn’t even do that effectively. That travel ban had so many holes it could be compared to Swiss cheese. The Trump swiss cheese travel ban.
Trump couldn’t guide anyone through a child’s book of mazes.
@Bud Fudlacker
RELEASE THE MOSCOW HOOKERS PEE PEE TAPES COMRADES 😁👍
Americans prefer presidents who don’t get peed on
thousands of doctors agree the masks do little, covid 19 is like the flu just another covid germ. The pandemic is a scamdemic about fear and forced vaccines
Bud Fudlacker what’s “herd mentality”?

@Schuyler Ebbets <--- Yup, another Science Denying idiotic comment.🤦♂️ ...just like the "Orange 🍊Orangutan" in the WH...🤪😝👍😡
This was obvious at the Town Hall meeting. Trump is so disinterested in the virus he couldn’t even be bothered remembering herd immunity, a strategy that would see millions die, and said herd mentality.
Chump was thinking about his base when he said herd mentality.
warpedjaffas1 no herd mentality is his political position, the herd mentality is why there are 35% Repugnants that don’t get it ! Vote blue we must get this monster and his cronies out !
He’s been impeached and will likely be charged with crimes when he is out of office. He invited Taliban to Camp David (when school children can’t even go there on field trip). He asked China to investigate U.S. citizens on live TV. He sicked nameless badge-less Stormtrumpers on brats spray painting buildings and lighting trash cans on fire. He claims to know more than US generals when it comes to the military, more than Drs and scientist when it comes to Covid-19, and more than known undisputed scientific data when it comes to the climate. And now he’s allowing forced hysterectomies. Dump Trump!.

Schuyler Ebbets the virus is global not just an American thing just so you know. Also, social unrest is because unarmed blacks are being killed at a disproportionate rate.
Trump is a epic fail..every time he opens his mouth he’s lying..trump is running from something killing people to stay in office? he is scared of something maybe he nos they will come after him if he loses. but he was willing to sacrifice millions of lives for whatever is going on..winning the election was his only concern..Trump nos he will be charged with something he’s desperate.
@A b He, Never has and Never will…he is evil…😠👿🤘
@Schuyler Ebbets <---- TROLL ALERT ! 😡🤘🤘🤘
Imagine how many people would be still alive if tRump hadn’t been lying…😢
Or the Chinese

@Paula Baumann You mean like the way Governor Cuomo sent the elderly to the rest homes in stead of the safe clean Navy hospital ships sent by Trump where many of the seniors died needlessly by the Governors hand who is a democrat by the way if you did not know
SOOO MANY !!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
140,000 Seniors, according to a model I saw today. It’s genocide.
Trump- “I take no responsibility.”
Typical liberal truth doesn’t serve you very well so create your own narrative and make up a lie he never said that you’re a liar little liberal liar
@Schuyler Ebbets Except he did say that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Cs_1iYWIhI&ab_channel=10TampaBay
@Schuyler Ebbets Very sorry, you are so uninformed, he did say that and it has been one of the ONLY few TRUE things he has ever said…🤪👍

We are not a stupid nation. We just have a stupid, little mind in the office that our president should occupy.
Still 40 % of Americans support Trump. It is time that your education system gets reviewed. Untill that moment, I am afraid you are wrong.
O yes, as a nation the us is stupid. There is just an intelligent minority.
@Schuyler Ebbets You’re an imbecile.
@my music
Because there’s no federal mandate by Trump and his administration. Therefore, Trump has accomplices killing people that he, Fox News and Q aid and abet.
❤️ preventive help with coronavirus. Speak quietly out loud or in normal voice “God, please make my health perfect and completely free from harmful virus. Thank you.” Repeat every 1-2 hours (8-16 times a day) as long as the pandemic lasts and until a safe vaccine or other cure is available. God is love. This helps. No cost. https://www.howtocallongodforhelp.com Healing can happen on different levels. We’re not just physical beings. Consciousness, thought, and prayer is not well understood. We all have a name. Yet science can’t identify our name by any chemical or physical markers through careful examination of the human body. Healing is both mind and body. “A problem exists today regarding some know how to call on God for help while others do not. This loving help is available to all of us regardless of moral character, religious views, and personal beliefs. God does not punish and helps anyone asking correctly. God is love.” Follow CDC guidelines https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html and Dr. Fauci’s recommendations. Social distancing helps prevent infected droplets, splatter, and aerosol particles from entering the lungs. Reducing viral concentration will give the body better odds at handling infection. First line workers are at high risk because of continuous exposure to the virus, thus greater susceptibility to Covid19. “While fever, cough and shortness of breath have characterized the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated its list of common symptoms in late April to include a new loss of smell or taste.” Look into foods high in Vitamin C (avoid harmful synthetic Vitamin C supplements), Vitamin D/Vitamin K2 (20 minutes daily sunlight or supplement), and zinc. Please share. Thank you. ❤️
The GOPs failures are just as egregious. They have a duty to remove an impeached President who is a threat to all Americans.
Vote the enablers out in November.
Yesssssss. It’s infuriating that we don’t hear enough people holding them Scott l accountable too. This is not all on the president. He couldn’t do all this if everyone around him didn’t enable him.
That “sacred trust” just doesn’t exist for Trump. He has no soul.
TBH,I felt US would be better off if the Presidency was completely empty for the last 4 yrs.
Technically, it HAS been empty since 2017…
My dog is more qualified to lead the country than trump.
I would vote for your dog, if that was our choice.
My toaster is more qualified than trump
Is it, a Pitbull?
@Robert Clark It saddens me that once we get the clown out of office we still have to live amongst his followers who are every bit as vile and ignorant as he is.
@Leslie Williams She’s a rescue mix, we think she is black lab and pit.
The simplest way to describe Trump is “untrustworthy”. We cannot trust him to tell the truth. We cannot trust Trump to work for the best interest of the people of the US. We cannot trust Trump to do anything that is not in his personal best interest
rimrock53 You need to go a step further here rim. He only wants to make money. He is making money off the pandemic. That’s why he has no plan. The clear man on the Woodward tapes always has a plan or schemes going. Money is Donald J Trump, it’s not like he care about his kids and family.
And his supporters answer with “so what’s new”?
They only care that trump hates the federal government and the democrats and the blacks and Hispanics. That why they support him… They feel the country is already lost and only trump will fix it… They love most his treatment of other politicians…
Idk WTH Barr is up too….
This actually gives support to Mary Trump’s book
It definitely does. We should be scared. We have a Mad Men on the Highest Political Stage and it is not GOOD😵😵😵
Mochap 70 Right it is highly dangerous ‼️
Trump is a double talker. I dont believe anything he says. He has no credibility.
Yet Trump completely DENIED being told on Jan 28th. He has literally lied about EVERYTHING!!
I’m not surprised Dr. Fauci vented like that, everyone who lives in the real world is getting sick of Trump.
“His attention span is like a minus number” LOL
