    2. @Joe V lol we Canadian love black face they only face we dont like is the orange face love from a Canadian and I am not sorry to call u an idiot moron have a good day

    3. @Marie Berthiaume Sorry Marie but read your comment again and you’ll find that you are the moron. You tried to be smart in with your comment but all you did was justify black face like a racist pig. Fool!

    4. China bots want this president gone ! Experts like the president of the W.H.O Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who isn’t even a doctor. Bill Gates who wants to vaccinate the world but isn’t a doctor. Would you take your sick child to the apple store for medical attention. Hydroxychloroquine and zinc being prescribed by doctors world wide with great results. Fever gone in 5 hours patience breathing normal with in 24/48 hours, it’s saving life’s.

    1. @Ed Doty I am a truth supporter. I am an American supporter so your BS doesn’t fool me one bit. I voted Sanders. Trump has a higher approval than Bush or Obama had.

    2. @Alice’s Rabbit The investigators investigated their own departments and failed. Nice try.

  1. Why, as a country that promotes itself as the land of the free, is everyone so subservient to presidential dictat ? Does the constitution give the president so much power (real or imagined) that organizations like the CDC, FBI, Justice Dept. etc etc, have to acquiesce to the presidents every whim ?

  2. The Trump COVID solution:

    Take 2 hydroxychloroquine pills a day with half a cup of bleach under a UV light. 💪 MAGA

    1. @Robert Clawson So, you want to throw grandma and grandpa under the bus…it doesn’t mean others do… Me, myself and I.
      Stay safe.

    2. @Bubbles yes, yes, yes… I will take medical care backed by gates.
      As for hydroxychloroquine… You should keep up with the news.
      Trump isn’t taking it. He lies all the time. He wouldn’t put his failing health at risk.
      He wants you to put your health at risk by taking it yourself.
      He has a lot of those pills to push.

    2. @Bubbles I’m actually more worried about the false labeling of deaths. Courts use death rates for litigation purposes and to help how to protect people from certain things killing people like heart attacks from fast food or in the case of my previous comment over serving of alcohol from a bar. If you wanted to say that the guy with a .55 BAC died from coronavirus instead of Alcohol poisoning. His family could not sue the bar that overserved him, (which is illegal) hence why it is illegal. A jury will see that the death certificate says complications due to coronavirus. It’s a slippery litigation slope.

    3. Raymond – I knew it. Thanks for revealing your sources. Hope you didn’t spend ALL your $1,200 on tin foil hats. Again, thanks for the citation on those sources. Best of luck to you.

    4. @christopher weise sources include daily mail, cnn, msnbc, fox News, business insider, New York times, USA today. I will be happy to send you an email with links from each source. Or just the sources for which ever stat I listed that you do not believe. Edit, I actually still have my check I’m framing it cause it’s history.

    5. Raymond Swinehart – Wow. The government finally gives you $1,200 of YOUR OWN TAX MONEY back…..and you’re not cashing it. That’s a special kind of stupidity. I at least know my $1,200 they didn’t give to companies like AMAZON that don’t need it. I happily accepted it. Good for you.

  3. I think Trump acts as if the various government departments and institutions are dysfunctional until they resemble PAC’s

  4. Admin. goes beyond not having CDC’s backs, seems constant threat of retribution and firings.

    1. @Gods Servant
      What’s your point ?
      If they are not the 1% they don’t count in Trump’s little mind.

China bots in the CNN fake news comment section.

    1. Democrats have murdered between 60-80 million babies since the start of Planned Parenthood. 33 million black babies murdered are documented. Democrats kept an accurate count of how many black babies were murdered for some reason. Where is the outrage???

    2. Kyuss Qotsa The hypocrisy coming from the Left is Palpable. The first to scream “kids in cages” but ignore the millions of babies that get murdered every year.

    3. ROBERT<----- That's right, Ice cream is only for the privileged......and it will rot your last tooth.

  5. Non of this is new or surprising. Makes you wonder exactly how far trump will pull us down before it kills many more or we achieve herd immunity.

    1. Democrats have murdered 80 million babies since the start of Planned Parenthood. Where the hell have you been?

    2. @Kyuss Qotsa can’t wait to see a civil war and no one can escape in Mexico because of a wall…

  6. The WH is controlled by a Mafia Boss (Don or Godfather). Eliminate anyone who doesn’t toe the line.

    1. Metaphorically, Ms Jules, no one should die before they’ve had the chance to reform…. Death comes to us all, justice and a measure of suffering must be visited upon Mr Trump.

    2. Experts like the president of the W.H.O Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who isn’t even a doctor. Bill Gates who wants to vaccinate the world but isn’t a doctor.

    3. Yes, you’re right, it could be a valuable addition to the arsenal against Covid, and it could also be lethal to some people in some situations. Indeed, many commonly-used drugs can have potentially horrible side-effects if used to treat the wrong conditions, or in the wrong dosage, or without strict supervision. Without sufficient data, prescribing any drug absent sufficient trials and tests is ultimately irresponsible. We don’t yet know which category Hydroxychloroquine is in but early data, while promising in some cases, suggest caution. Neither you nor I are President of the U.S. – or Queen of England – so neither you nor I, nor anyone you’re likely to know, has the best doctor’s in the world dedicating their lives to keeping us safe.

      And, “saving life’s…” what? Saving life’s Word documents? Its holy crusade? Its bath water? Don’t leave us hanging, Bubbles…

  7. So …. he stopped the CDC from announcing travel restrictions 5 days before, because he wanted to make it a show? like he was taking action? ….. figures

  8. If I prevent a surgeon to perform a life-saving operation and the patient dies, I would be held accountable for manslaughter. Why is it different between Trump and the CDC?

    1. Experts like the president of the W.H.O Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who isn’t even a doctor. Bill Gates who wants to vaccinate the world but isn’t a doctor. Would you take your sick child to the apple store for medical attention.

    2. @Bubbles Neither the Tredos nor Gates would recommend a vaccine that is not fully researched, proven safe and effective.,
      and neither is incompetent as Trump.

    3. @Uffi Sachs Involuntary manslaughter. Yea, right talk to any lawyer or judge or professor of law and tell them you’re going to sue a guy for involuntary manslaughter. Good luck proving that to the courts. That’s like saying I’m going to prove to you, I can read your mind an show to everyone you’re doing X. That’s probably thee must dumbest thing I have ever heard on youtube. HAHAHHA, 😂 🤣😂 🤣😂 🤣. That gave me an actual laugh form your own stupidity.

    4. @Curunir Before you laugh about someone elses stupidity, check out the facts and then have a laugh about your own stupidity.
      As an analogy: Imagine you have an accident and brought into a hospital by ambulance. The paramedic is telling the Doctor that he is suspecting you have life-threatening internal bleeding.
      Instead of tending immediately to you based on the advice given, the Doctor decides to have a round of golf first, because he feels it’s probably not that urgent. When he finally decides to check you out, you are dead.
      What do you think happen to the Doctor? Your family will charge this Doctor with involuntary manslaughter.
      The same happened with Trump and the corono outbreak. He had plenty of warnings and chose to ignore all.
      As result, many thousands of lives are lost.
      Come back to me if you get any actual legal advice that is not confirming this.

    5. @Bubbles I also saw another expert (no doctor) suggesting that injecting disinfectants may kill the virus because it does a tremendous job in the lungs

  9. Who would ever have thought??? So shocked to hear politics have prevented public safety.

    1. @Bubbles and experts (that are no doctors) like the one that said that injecting disinfectants may kill the virus coz it does a tremendous job on the lungs, or to somehow inject under the skin UV that also kill the virus. I don’t remember who that so called expert was, but I saw it in TV.

  10. The question is would the CDC have rejected using the offered testing from the WHO while trying to find a made in America test? I don’t think so. It was the Administration that wanted to suppress testing and suppress the acceptance of WHO offer.

    1. Experts like the president of the W.H.O Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus who isn’t even a doctor. Bill Gates who wants to vaccinate the world but isn’t a doctor.

    2. He did fired them, but then he re-hired another team. So that information is false, saying he shut them down all the way. You need to update your facts.
