Yamiche Alcindor: 'President Has Contradicted His Scientists Over And Over Again' | Andrea Mitchell
Understand now why Russia choosen Trump to be 2016 President.
Amazing how libtarts constantly reference putin and russia
Mmmmm
@Brian Baff : Hilary sat on a committee with 8 other people — who would have all had to vote for that sale. Please stop spreading Trump’s lies.
And while you’re at it, ask him what he and Vladi discussed in Helsinki — it appears he fed all notes of that discussion to Putin’s dog.
@Mike Smith lets all inject Clorox. Well Atleast the MAGAS.
Putin is laughing all day long, he never had that much fun in his life…
@Kay Gee What does Trump have to do with the Uranium sale, was far before Trumps time? She was secretary of state at the time.
We can also look at Obamas hot mic where he told Putin he will have more leeway once he gets reelected.
My point here is to show that the Russian argument can be used against anyone. Do I think Hillary or Trump is influenced by Russia, no not really, but I could make an argument from either side.
😷 at first Trump and his administration called the coronavirus outbreaks a political hoax against him these people are liars and frauds and bad for societies health
But billion air holds all American toys plus rule
*MSNBC: If we were honest, this report would have said the opposite. Thank badness we are not honest!*
@Carolina QUANONNE Racist!
Seriously, the US has a nut for a POTUS. Just imagine how he’d be in a war?
@Barry Lucas no we are not. you apparently have never served…chump.
Stand in the sun & drink disinfectants & you’ll be fine !
@Mike Tibbetts JR he didn’t say stat. Uv light and Hcq does work. You must be a big fan of Bill gates and population control
SHHHHHHHH don’t give him ideas!
Sulemani, and Al Baghdadi are pretty good indicators.
Washington said I can not tell a lie, Comrade Trump says I can not tell the truth 😊😉😆😅😄😁😆😉😉😉
@Imp Slayer
There is a hole in your bucket.
I’d like to hear more about these “demon people” as you refer to them.
What does the label mean to you?
What qualifies someone as a demon person?
Is this some sort of claim for the supernatural?
Are you asking me to argue about something that you can’t demonstrate to be true?
You own the burden of proof. I’ll wait here while you trip over yourself.
@Imp Slayer Is your world view based in mythology? Do you feel your imaginary friends exist in reslity?
Do you think magic is real?
First, Obama officials walk Trump aids through a global pandemic exercise in 2017.
Then, in 2017 and 2018, threat assessment intelligence analysts even mentioned a close cousin of coronavirus by name saying it had pandemic potential.
Then in 2018, the director for medical and biodefense preparedness at the National Security Council told a symposium that the threat of pandemic flu is our number one health security concern.
Then top administration officials said last year that the threat of a pandemic kept them up at night.
Then, White House economists warned in 2019 a pandemic could devastate America.
Then, intelligence reports warned of coronavirus crisis as early as November. And then, US intelligence reports from January and February warned about a likely pandemic.
Seriously, how many incredibly specific warnings do you need?”
On Jan. 8, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first alert advising U.S. clinicians to watch for patients with respiratory symptoms and a travel history to Wuhan, China.It’s unclear exactly when the president was first notified about the potential of a pandemic.
On Jan. 20, the first confirmed case of COVID-19 appeared in the U.S., in Washington state.
On Jan. 22, when CNBC asked him if there were any concerns about the virus spreading in the U.S., Trump said, “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.”
On Jan. 31, Trump implemented China travel restrictions, a move he often points to when defending his administration’s actions to address the pandemic. That day, the CDC reported seven cases of coronavirus in the U.S.
By Feb. 4, there were 11 confirmed cases in the U.S.
On Feb. 25, CDC official Nancy Messonnier warned that a coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. was inevitable.
On Feb. 28, at a Charleston, South Carolina, rally, Trump called the coronavirus the Democrats’ “new hoax.” That day, there were 59 confirmed cases and two coronavirus deaths in the United States, according to the World Health Organization. There were 4,691 cases around the globe.
Throughout February and early March, Trump insisted the U.S. had the coronavirus under control and that Americans should stay calm. At a televised visit to the CDC on March 6, Trump said the coronavirus “came out of nowhere.”
During this time, Trump played golf on Jan. 18 and 19, Feb. 1 and 15, and March 7 and 8, according to the Trump Golf Count website.
He hosted rallies on Jan. 9 (Toledo, Ohio); 14 (Milwaukee), 28 (Wildwood, N.J.) and 30 (Des Moines, Iowa), as well as Feb. 10 (Manchester, N.H.), 19 (Phoenix), 20 (Colorado Springs), 21 (Las Vegas) and 28 (Charleston, S.C.).
On March 11, the WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Additional European travel bans were implemented on the same day, but restrictions for the United Kingdom didn’t come until two days later, after people re-entered the U.S. from Britain and Ireland.
On March 16, the White House released social distancing guidelines to limit gatherings of no more than 10 people.
On March 17, Trump changed from his previous statements that the virus would not severely impact the U.S. and said, “This is a pandemic. … I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic.”
Crystal Giddens You went way out of your way to write a long, boring statement about tds. Do you really think that anyone gives a crap about what you think? Or gives a crap about tds?
The bloated tangerine is a clear and present danger.
@CShield 🤣You’re so pathetic🤣 LMAO
@C-Note Mac I love rent free in your empty head, my stalker.
@joe kim Well you’ve just proven that the trump movement is a cult, thank you!
@BreakTheWheel Now dont really know what that means but praise God for the demise of the wicked
@joe kim Yep, trump-humping morons will all be dead soon. This was two days ago, triggeredbitch, quit crying on the internet.
Fire the scientist in charge of developing and buying the vacines needed in the middle of a deadly pandemic. Stable genius indeed.
William H Music 2020 It takes one to know one.
Mike Smith You should have stayed in school instead of dropping out in the third grade.
@William H Music 2020 a vain and foolish child you are.
Trump doesn’t believe in science, but yet he tweets.
No vaccine has been developed for any coronovirus or HIV.The so-called shot for the flu gave me the flu. So much for that . Stay at home until the vaccine is developed. Don’t go outside..
Everyone knows what this means – Dr. Fauci is going to be looking for a new job next week. Our Stalin-wannabe does not like being contradicted by factual information.
The Orange Clown is Insane.
Vote for The ORANGE MAN 2020!
Naaa just you libs are…im realy surprised you bought into more of their lies…lol
Orange Man NOT BAD….Orange Man Good. TDS can be cured…but you will have to get off the alcohol and drugs.
@Tom Jamison: No he’s not.He is bad and that is worse.
@Philip Marsden I don’t think he is bad at all, and whenever I hear anyone say he is bad, they have to make things up. And so I am thinking, if he is guilty of the opposite of what they accuse him of, and he’s always being found innocent of whatever accusation that they throw at him, that he cannot be bad.
In fact, wouldn’t that make him good? which is what I am seeing anyway!
Yet Fox News watchers will never see or hear and if they do, they won’t believe.
They will call it fake news.
They are Trained as loyal Slaves to Billionaires & Oligarcs like the Koch family.
Our only hope is to outnumber them in November 2020.
*MSNBC: If we were honest, this report would have said the opposite. Thank badness we are not honest!*
@Don Bsweet Yes, and it is fake news of course — “darn” their honesty!
@Leo There is always Venezuela, Haiti, China!
Thousands of Americans died needlessly because Trump failed to prepare for the pandemic. After it arrived, he failed to do anything for two months. His lies won’t change that.
Atleast msnbc didn’t advocate injecting bleach and putting lights inside the body.whats next shrinking a drone small enough to be injected in the body with little lasers and hunt the virus and zap it
@Queenie King fact. you keep buying this con mans BS…sheep.
Your Obama did not replenish medical supplies during the virus he did not notice. He was playing golf. But he did fund the engineering of this virus in 2014. The report is out there but since you lying r media will not discuss it , you would never have anyone to tell you what it means.
@k K OK Russian troll. OMG, you guys can at least take the time and proof read you propaganda before sending it out.
@Jay Grewe I send out the facts – you pole can’t think for yourself. CNN tells you want to think.
just let all his jim jones followers ride into the White House and kiss his ring. then sneeze all at once
And laugh at all you while we attend his second inauguration on January 20, 2021.
@Ginger Nightmare https://youtu.be/NzDhm808oU4
@Lisa Elissa cheers I have seen this clip, it’s wonderful .. I am being sarcastic to laugh at ignorance on display. With so many dying in the US for political reason .. let them eat cake/die!
@Ginger Nightmare Cheers! Trump supporters on display… it would be funny if the stupidity wasn’t such a jaw dropper, stay safe!
Progressives like Randi Rhodes live feed a lot. All round the World. UK or US. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiEKQloWXK6SLttZgw1wbnQ
Better blend. Perhaps. See ya there! 🦎
Yamiche is a great reporter. I love watching when she is asking Trump questions. Trump tries to deflect from answering a question he does not like with insults, but Yamiche keeps pushing. She is fantastic!
The reporters are given questions from the top.They are not inserting any of their own brain power.Wake up.
@Marty See The shills from One America News are given questions for Mr. Incompetent.
@J M M Never heard of them I had to use Google.
He chose to put the economy before the American people. It’s time to make sure Trump and his Administration are removed.
@Susan Hoffa THEN HE SHOULD START HAVING CNN TOP BRASS SHOT. IT WOULD HELP SOCIETY OUT A LOT
@Borvo
WTF are you talking about ??? 😐
And what put Joe Biden the Democratic, in office..lol
@Mike Smith Are you so stupid you think drinking lysol will protect you? Please follow your Swollen orange rump , stable genius suggestions, and self medicate. You won’t have to worry about the oppression and lies anymore, you will be a huge winner, just like you dream about being. REMEMBER DEAD, DON’T VOTE RED!!!
@David Stanley you libs are so easy to trigger… do you ever ask yourself why are you so angry with the world and why are you so angry with President Trump… do you really believe I would drink Lysol or Clorox.. come on now you can’t be that dumb are you… I’m amused you libs can’t handle sarcasm coming from President Trump I’ll find it so funny and hilarious…
We all know that more Americans will celebrate Trump’s eventual death than they will Osama Bin Laden’s
I’ve thought about that. Whenever that day comes there will be dancing and joy.
“The likes of which this world has never seen” * does trump accordion hands.
Ian Harding it’s true, bot not sad.
Stephen Given okay, but only if those kidney stones are passed and collected from a bucket right out of solitary confinement
Daniel Duvalle, not just Americans…
@Youdontneedto Seemyidentification yes, your idea seems the most fitting. I like the idea of him having to reflect on his crimes, but no doubt he’ll STILL think of himself as a victim.
Anyone who thinks 45 is smart is more than likely dumber than he is!
well then 40% of the voting population is dumber
tw lw sounds right.
If you’re a Chump supporter please take hydroxychloroquin, please take as much as you want. We need to thin the herd. The less trumpheads the better.
Don’t forget that after you take hydroxychloroquine to wash it down with Lysol. Trump say it could work even better.
China loves Trump .give him another 4 years .O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
Frank Bega..nah….by now they know they were duped by a career conman
@for paws Magas have a total blind spot when it comes to understanding being conned by trump. They would follow him to the cliff edge as trump stepped aside to let them drop over, mouthing thank you like he loves to do.
❤️ pefdat.myprofiles.online/profile.php?xx-photopefdat ❤️
It’s time to take that murdering MF out of the Oval Office.
Trump News so what?
98LowDown and you are trash with no education and no money, she doesn’t care what you call her, go inject your Lysol like you were told
Diana Hulstine thank you, I’m doing the same thing, I’m sick of those maggots
@Imp Slayer Lying Russian Troll!!!
@98LowDown Russian pussyboy.😁
“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.” Dalai Lama.
@Sea King : The “president” is godless, and he’s not a liberal. What, exactly, is your point?
“I’m no doctor,” Trump admits. If he were, he’d remember “First, do no harm!”
“I’m no doctor.” If he were, he’d know “First do no harm.”
Thank You, Amen.
Trump* will say he never met the Dalai Lama, has no idea who he is (that bit’s probably true), he may have brought the coffee.
It’s so messed up that we have a president who’s making this pandimic so much worse. How can people support a leader who says one thing, then an hour later says the opposite?
China loves Trump .give him another 4 years .O(∩_∩)O哈哈~
It’s absolutely absurd for Trump who has neither credibility nor credentials in sciences and medicine to give medical advices. I won’t take any advice from a functionally illiterate like him. He is a total fool!
Multiply personality disorder. He needs mental help on sooo many levels.
@Relative Insanity People, particularly Trump’s supporters, should be urged to look up DSM5 to identify all the psychological and personality disorder he manifests.
The whole planet is laughing at him and the lemmings that voted for him.
For what, the democratic party is the devils legion literally, your extinction is next. Lucifers kids are expendable puppets, your evil existence is finished
The devils legion is set up like trinket action figures dangling in the breeze of the damned
@Imp Slayer You are a walking ad for universal mental health coverage.
If he gets re-elected, the whole planet will be crying – VOTE!
@Loretta Chardin
Crying for what, you sided with the serpent left antichrist network which is the devils legion literally pushing full beast system Demonic tyranny and the destruction of humanity.. Youre a traitor piece of trash that destroys innocent children
