Woodward: ‘Trump Is The Wrong Man For The Job’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
Trump trolls from random Facebook groups hitting the dislke button.
Your TDS gives you away…
@Doug Shaw your fake profile photo does it for you, troll
Coksuckers the lot of em
There’s something to be said about someone’s character when they know something is a threat to others but they don’t do much to stop it from happening.
Something to be said for higher taxes, open borders, and green new deal.
@Houng Gi That’s an odd thing to say. If you look at other countries, we have one of the highest death rates per 100,000. Remember when President Obama was faced with the Ebola virus and he took action immediately? Still although there was a total of 11 cases and 2 deaths, the Republicans wanted Obama to resign and apologize to the American people. But they call the death of nearly 200,000 (and growing) a success story. You ask what Trump could have done. First of all, he could have paid attention to the warnings from his predecessor. But during his first 3 years in office, he cut Obama’s pandemic preparedness budget down to zero. He dismantled a pandemic response team. He defunded American scientists who were monitoring viruses in China. He ignored a pandemic playbook left for him by members of the Obama administration. In 3 years he failed to replenish PPE stock. In fact, Pompeo announced on Feb 7 that the State Dept was shipping 18 tons of PPE to China. Then Trump blamed Obama for the lack of PPE. He blames everyone and takes no responsibility for any of his many failures. Trump has committed crimes against humanity and should be prosecuted for those crimes. He lied to people who trusted him and did not take the proper precautions. Many of those people died. He still lies about the virus, wearing masks and the mortality rate. He’s a very dangerous sociopath who needs to be removed as soon as possible.
@Carlos Stranger Your comment is race baiting, dumb dickface.
@Lotta Sunshine i see I have some work too do! But I stand by this blame game from any side no good divisions that are being pumped up, the irresponsible media . Not to mention the so called protesting. IDK don’t have answers . I fear for our country , not a very good selection of applicants for that job it seems . Will look into info you shared thank you I think lol🥴🤯🤮🤥🤒☠️😵
@Adam T I’m not defending nothing just very troubling this whole mess. You feel me
Presidents should bring people together for strength in country and he rips us apart internally without merit and without concern for the strength of the country but, only for himself.
He would not have any possible understanding of what you are saying.
No, its the people who are trying to tear apart the country. The leftist doesn’t want Trump to be president, so they use violence and blamed Donald Trump for it.
A weak man like drumpf projects his weakness on everything.
And that page of the book.. thats how real Americans, real patriots sounded back in the day. They stared confrontation, tyranny, abuse, dictators etc right to the face and said Enough
He did not want to panic the stock market. Self interest from the get go. He was desperate even before the Zelenski call. He has serious legal exposure if he is not re-elected. Everything he does is seen through the prism of his re-election.
TRUTH is critical for calm in crisis 🤷🏼♀️ 45 prefers to consciously lie 🤮
Bob should have used the photo of Trump impersonating the disabled reporter for the main book cover
I wonder if Trump knew that this man brought down President Nixon.
People have been leaving a lot of quotes of famous dead people in the youtube comments recently on news videos about trump and it’s gotten kind of old but I wanted to share a quote that really spoke to me in this video:
“Your government has unmistakable confidence in your ability to hear the worst, without flinching or losing heart.”
It’s a very empowering statement and it shows that the president believes the people are strong enough to hear the worst
People who WORKED with him say he is a danger. His FAMILY says he is a danger. Every reporter SAYS he’s a danger. But you Trumpers know better, right?!!
@Deborah Cox No now Maniac Trump wants herd immunity…That means AT LEAST 2 MILLION DEAD AMERICANS.
@Monaco Athlete He said “herd mentality” so maybe he was thinking of his base. However, I agree what he said is terrifying.
Exactly right and I’ve got a list of 62 accomplishments that proves I’m right and you are wrong.
I tried speaking with a few Trump cult members, they for some reason feel that Trump is the victim that everyone is against him. They seem to have a selective memory. They all forgot how Trump bashed Obama Hillary and anyone else who disagreed with the all mighty Trumpster!
@Schuyler Ebbets it’s kind of hard to use sarcasm when talking about the all mighty Trumpster. I sometimes wonder if the poster is being serious or not. These are strange times we live in. 😳
How many deaths have occurred because of Trump’s negligence in the cities and towns across America? Now 201,348 deaths
Did YOU prohibit your own parents from trying HCQ? Governor Cuomo prohibited lots of poor people from trying HCQ.
Trump “downplays” like a kid who’s afraid he’ll get scolded, unlike Roosevelt who could contain the fears of folks when faced with bad news. Trump is not a leader.
“Woodward: ‘Trump Is The Wrong Man For The Job’” or any job for that matter given that #DJT is “utterly incompetent” as per the words of both his own Federal Judge elder-sister Maryanne Trump Barry and his own clinical psychologist niece Dr. Mary Trump. May fellow American voters accordingly tell #ImPOTUS45 “You’re fired” on Nov 3rd by voting for the exact opposite instead of more #MourningInAmerica.
General James Mattis “I found Trump to be a man of limited cognitive ability, and of generally dubious character.”
@Lotta Sunshine , I am simply wonderfully hungry and hope you, Sunshine, and others reading my comment at the top, also have a healthy appetite too. So how are you ?
@Lotta Sunshine, your not being able to reply appropriately over the past 4 hours since being greeted here means you, Sunshine, are #StatCOVID19Test **positive** indicating that it’s possible you’re unwittingly contagious (i.e. pre-symptomatic) needing to call your doctor & to self-quarantine per your doctor.
Like the eternal used car salesman he is, Trump never tells the truth if a lie will make him look better…
#SpecialNeedsCaligula
The last time Democrats were this worried is when thier slaves were liberated by the Republican led Union.
*I THINK THIS BOOK* actually got to Woodward as none of his others did. I have seen him tear up a couple of times.
I would have gladly told you this four years ago! trump is a psychopath and the wrong man to even be breathing.
Trump is an utter failure in his handling of the Covid pandemic. Over 200,000 have died.
Dogturd J. Trunt: Wrong man for the job? … Just plain wrong, more like.
Trump didn’t want to start a panic…in the stock market. He’s doesn’t give a flip about average Americans.
