As Far As Trump Is Concerned On Deaths From Coronavirus, ‘It Is What It Is’ | Deadline | MSNBC

    1. I’ll bet you no president will come to pay his/her respects at his funeral. That would be poetic and ironic because it’s the one thing he craves. Great people talking good things about him. 😂

  1. It was such a good interview. He challenged him on all the lies, rather than just ignoring them or accepting them as a different perspective / alternate facts.

    1. Pelosi and Schumer oath of office

      I do soullessly swear, I will menacingly support and defund the Institution of Public Safety of the United States, against all humanity, American and Patriotic; and that I will induce true evil and alliance to the same; and that I take this psychological manipulation freely, without any mental awareness or of common sense; and that I will, well and faithfully discharge the duties of the swamp in which I am about to enter. So help me 👺

    2. @Eboni Love Evidence of wearing masks is mixed, Love. Other nations having reviewed the evidence have determined not to mandate wearing masks. Denmark’s health authority fox example has discouraged mask wearing for healthy people going about their normal lives, questioning its effectiveness and saying it “can cause more harm than good.” /// As for Cain, two points: 1) Cain has agency meaning it was his decision not Trump’s to attend; and 2) it is not obvious that Cain contracted the virus at the rally. It is possible he did not.

  2. He played his imaginary accordion all the way through the interview, non stop lying from beginning to the end

  3. “It is what it is.”
    I wonder if Trump will have that same attitude when he gets landslided by Joe Biden.

    1. Biden ought to get a big banner made with those words. Or better yet, have those words projected on the outside of the WH like the Brits did with the approval numbers of Obama and Trump when Trump visited the Queen.

    2. You never know.. he was expected to get landslided by Hillary.. to his benefit not enough young people turned out to vote in ’16.

    3. Trump is already working to undermine the results of the election by claiming it’s going to be the most fraudulent election in American history because of the mailed in voting.

  4. Change “make America Great Again” & “Keep America Great” to “America, It Is What It Is”

  5. “We’re lower than the world.” -Trump
    The liberal plot to make Trump look stupid, also known as “Operation Just Let Him Speak,” is working splendidly! 👍

    1. This is why you don’t hear much from Joe….. What’s that saying don’t interrupt the enemy when their beating themselves… Joe could literally win this by staying in his basement 🤣🤣🤣

    1. If believing that makes you feel better, fine. The plandemic is criminal alright, real pandemics dont need dodgy data.

    2. @Rino Ponce so you’re putting out malicious links. I guess that tells everyone just who and what you are. Politely put a troll. Impolitely put an assh#le.

    3. Rino Ponce Doctors and Nurses and other people are not dying because you do or do not exercise. Really, how stupid are you? Hospitals are not overwhelmed to the point of having to decide who to let live or die because you decide to smoke or not! Did you manage to graduate from kindergarten?

    1. I wish him well. Don’t know him. Meet him couple times. I guess he’s my neighbor?
      But never meet the man.

    2. esj8341headstuck

      When was the US military used to drone strike US citizens?
      I remember them being used in DC on a peaceful US citizens’ protest.
      “fore” a photo op.

      Do you know how the US MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX came about?
      And why?
      I’m not sure ewe know how things work.

    3. @Abolish democrats Abolish communism You better stop watching fake fox news inbred.There is a reason they have had lawsuits against them for spreading fake news

    4. He’s going to use his final pardon for his self so he can’t be charged for any crimes before, during or after he is escorted from the White House.

    5. @Rusty Hathaway I wouldn’t put it past him, but I do take comfort in knowing that his tax crimes and others are state crimes, that can’t be pardoned! 👍

  6. Donald Trump has just addressed the 160,000 grieving American families: “It is what it is.” I hope they feel comforted, because that is all they will ever get.
    Vote true. Vote blue.

    1. @Johnny Green . Thank you. You have no idea how much a kind word means to me right now. Stay safe! Thank you again.

  7. Swan is an impressive interviewer. He hits hard and challenges, but does it so politely. His style disarms those he interviews. Perfect style for someone so easily flattered as Donald Trump.

    1. @Rory Andraschko The thing is you have no facts for you. If a country tests five times the amount you will get five times the numbers. If a country tests five times less you will get 5 times less the numbers. You have to take the amount of cases against deaths you have to take the percentage of deaths versus cases, not deaths per population. If you even have your own mind left do some simple math. I have spent hundreds of hours researching this. You want to take me on let’s go.

    2. @Rory Andraschko What is wrong with you? Are you really going to vote for Joe Biden. He is a senile old man that has a far leftist socialist platform. You laugh at President Trump, but the only thing he is trying to do is save your country.

    3. ​@Michael Joshua I don’t find his accent polite at all. I find him a very unhonest reporter who did nothing but interrupt the president every time he asked him a question. It is very easy for the lying media to take a 5 second clip and make it sound like something it is not. I can’t even find the whole interview online because they don’t wan’t anyone to compare the lies to the actual interview.

    4. @Beeker Trump then got a bit of his own medicine!! Trump can dish it out, but can’t take it! Trump is a baby.

  8. Astonishingly incompetent and incoherent “President”. Proud that an Aussie has ripped him apart for the universe to see.

    1. @barkeraus NSW could have agreed to lower the Queensland/NSW border 10km temporarily to make things way easier for everyone.

    1. Actually this style of journalism ie real journalism is common in Australia new zealand and the uk at least. Probably many other countries.

    1. But “person, woman, man, camera, tv” proves he’s fit for office. ROTFLMFAO. Everyone please stay safe and well. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

  9. Why are american journalists cowards? They could never question the orange like jonathan swan hammered him. Well done mate

    1. @Vickstar You are out of your mind if you think these disgusting liers are for the truth in any way shape or form.

    2. @Beeker Use your Googley machine and search bSkyb Broadcasting and then search who ultimately runs Fox News

    3. ZI i think it’s because most of them would get fired or the entire interview would get cut if they did that

    4. American journalists are not cowards , trump won’t give tougher journalists access to him. He’ll only sit still for Fox News who’s on his side and will only ask softball questions.
