Daily Reminder: Trump called the Corona virus a Democrat hoax that would miraculously disappear.
@David Jimenez The whole thing is to say: If she is not my daughter, I will date her
@Roy Rodgers You can check the truth yourself
Legend Furong I was being polite. Most of my comments about him are much worse😂
Auntie Pha it is how did dr fauci new in 2017 that there’s going to be a pandemic in 2019? Its all planned out to bring Trump economic success down
@Legend Furong
You need help.
ROFLMAO!!! I needed that laugh!!
Wonderful! Thanks. Made my day.
Funny! These are real people
They know the truth
All people are real (though scientist question it) and there is not truth. just what you think is truth. You can’t know these things.

Donald Trump quotes on covid:
February 10th – “By April, when it gets a bit warmer, it will miraculously go away”
February 25th – “We’re very close to a vaccine”
February 26th – “We have 15 cases and within a couple of days that’s going to be down close to zero so that’s a pretty good job we’ve done”
February 26th – “The infection seems to have gone down over the last 2 days. We’re going to be at 5 people pretty soon. And we could be at just 1 or 2 people over the next short period of time”
February 28th – “This is the democrats new hoax”
March 6th – “It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month”
March 11th – “We’re more prepared to fight the virus than any other country. The virus doesn’t stand a chance against us”
March 13th – “I don’t take responsibility at all”
March 16th – “I rate my handling of the outbreak as a 10 out of 10”
March 24th – “We never shut the country down for flu”
April 10th – “I looks as though we’ll only have 60,000 deaths, which is substantially lower than what any of the scientists thought”
April 16th – “We are past the peak”
April 23rd – “We have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world”
April 23rd – “Suppose we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Supposing you brought light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some way”
April 24th – “Disinfectant knocks it out in 1 minute. Can we use that? By injecting it inside the body?”
April 25th – “There might not be a 2nd wave once we reopen. It might not come back at all”

May 21st – “When we have a lot of cases, I don’t look at that as a bad thing. I look at it as a good thing because it means our testing is much better. So I view it as a badge of honour. Really, it’s a badge of honour”
June 15th – “If you don’t test you don’t have any cases. If we stopped testing right now we’d have very few cases, if any”
June 17th – “The virus is dying out”

July 4th – “We’re well on our way to a tremendous victory over this virus”
July 10th – “Texas and Florida are going to have it under control very quickly”
July 13th – “Testing is a double edged sword. When you test you create cases, so we’ve created cases”
July 13th – “We have the lowest covid mortality in the world”
July 17th – “We are the envy of the world for how we’ve dealt with this”
July 27th – “The governors should be opening up states”

This explanation is like talking to cops without any questions being asked.
@Selah yes keep posting it
Superb job, football nerd……salute from a vet of the Berlin Brigade.
Brian Nave Too bad the study doesn‘t specify how the patients were allocated to the control or test group. Did you check the method section of the study?
Kiên Ng hydroxychloroquine has been used in Asia and Africa where malaria are common for years

Remember 3 weeks ago when Trump and his Republican minions claimed cases had only gone up because of testing?
Well how do you explain the deaths!!!
Elino Naval thanks. I’m not even a Republican and I know that. Thank goodness for the Lincoln Project and others like them who will redeem things in time.
@Juliette M I’m not a Republican either. They only want this corrupt president to be voted out and I salute them for this
Football Nerd can you explain to me how 20million tiktok users disappeared in wuhan when the wuhan virus hit the city?
bandit I saw the evidence of that too. Really suss hey? Goodness knows what really happened there. The one I saw was through the Epoch times and another I would have to look back to find. A smart young guy showed an open source website that showed registered mobile phone users. Then 21 million suddenly gone at our start of big world lockdown. it wasn’t tiktok though. Both on you tube. Plus the cremation rates and urns ordered. Now that the pandemic has gone on longer I’m less inclined to think it was 21 million deaths in that time but a whole lot of disconnections to snuff out information getting out. But truly I could be wrong too.
Juliette M yes the ccp will hide everything and anything that has a bad reputation on their regime
Al ROKER LOOKING VERY HEALTHY
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:52-57
Every time I see Al Roker I think of his stupid cameo in Seinfeld lmao
