Chris Hayes Explains COVID-19 Testing To Trump Who Still Doesn't Get It | All In | MSNBC
This isn’t a slip of the tongue. It’s not out of context. HE IS that stupid.
@on the outside looking in DIGITAL DEEP STATE SOLDIER.
GLOBALIST lost you just don’t know it yet. Someday you’ll WAKE UP.
TRUMP 2Q2Q! WWG1WGA!
@Melburys Brick LAME!
TRUMP 2Q2Q! WWG1WGA!
Tell him testing is like throwing paint on the invisible man then add a crayon drawing of it with captain tRump to the rescue, maybe just maybe…
@SHADOW_ X yes.. he does need to be stopped. I wish someone would stop him.. but sadly, that’s not going to happen and I am not going to suggest anything further because I value my freedom.. Let me put it this way.. I care about his life about as much as he cares about mine. FULL STOP.
@Charlie Horse You can enjoy Thanksgiving this year, by not celebrating it with your family.
“I didn’t know people died from the flu.”

The Romans never had testing 😎
t’rump hates testing because it triggers memories of all the times he flunked in school. 🤪
@lexa harpell All great man make mistakes at some point in their lives.
@DAVID JACKSON Can you name something he has actually done? Other than his failed attempt at closing down traffic to China?
@Freaky Ears Your holding of a belief does not bring your opinion a single step closer to being fact.
@lexa harpell So what you’re saying is, besides what you described, Australia’s COVID efforts have been a disaster? I’m good at reading between (imaginary) lines.
I’m Canadian but my wife is American Canadian (born here but adopted at birth to American parents, grew up in Florida but stayed in Canada after going to University here) and she is horrified at what’s happening in America. She’s in the process of renouncing her American citizenship because of what America is mutating into. The minor benefits we (she) has with dual citizenship isn’t worth saying to herself she’s ‘American’ any more. She was a very (almost annoyingly) proud American but now she finishes off her (former) anthem with “For the land of the FREAKS and the home of the DEPRAVED”
the COVID efforts here are much much better than America (not saying much) but not as successful as Australia and New Zealand. We’re much like Australia with far fewer legislative areas than the States, large areas that are unpopulated/sparsely populated (we’re ~4 people per sq. km – Aus is 3.3 people per sq. km) so it’s far less complicated than the States. But we don’t have the ‘Donnie Horror Picture Show” they have. We have leaders that are less partisan, have intelligence and cooperate better.
We are like neighbours watching and listening to the severely dysfunctional ‘family’ next door but no police force to call if it gets out of hand.
Take care. Hope things go well with the reopening.
@DAVID JACKSON might be ignorant about how successful other countries are handling the crisis. My country has one-tenth the USA population but only 1 death yesterday, only 100+ deaths in total although we got our first case earlier than USA. Yet we’re still in partial lockdown.
Stupid and evil is a terrible combination. Hence, Trump.
@connie baldwin cry cry cry Iibtard I realize I’m on a demonrat MSNBC channel for stupid liberals

Yes, unusual situation where a person with borderline intellectual functioning (IQ 85 tops) is also a sociopath.
Wow there are some stupid replies in this comment section. 🙄
First off, if you believe him, have you tried injecting that bleach yet?
Secound, good for you if you can support yourself without help from the Gov. But that’s not the point!
The point is there are people who need it because of circumstance, accident leaving them paralyzed etc.
I live in a socialist democratic state and my cousin just hit big money with his private company, you know what he said? He said he wasn’t going to change his political opinion suddenly because he was earning more money now. Because he doesn’t want rifts to grow in our society, or for it to end up like yours with closed/walled communities and paranoid people seeing enemies in their own neighbours, because of unfairness and social problems that don’t need to exists because of greed. Further more he loves his pregnant wife and want her and other future moms to keep having the right of a full year paid maternity leave, so they don’t have to chose between their child and a job.
Edit: I really thought you learned how to care about other people and be kind in pre school, having to explain fundamental humane behaviour to a grown up is straight up disturbing.
@Elin Carlsson what is your point?
@connie baldwin Did you inject that bleach yet? Obviously. 🙄.
Is there a point in facts? A point to knowledge and lessons being learned from others? If you can’t see the point, drink or inject that bleach! It’ll make you healthy and smart in no time! According to the Drump that never lies…

He doesn’t believe in tests because when he was in school he failed tests all the time but he knows he’s a genius.
😆 Good one! 👍🏼
and his father paid him through the tests.
@KeeLee46 don´t forget the “chosen one”
😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏿
Apparently, Trump gets tested daily, so he could care less about the rest of us. He’s covered!
It’s closing in on him!
@Saltponds239 INSANITY FOOL ALERT!
@Darr Too
But viruses also have an honor.
@aspebb thank god. I was starting to think only I’d noticed.
Molten76 – yeah, in his own broken mind.
Does trump know that testing doesn’t stop a person from getting the virus.
Bleached blonde, grey tinted blonde, glued together comb over .
Don’t educate him. He may learn something and as a result may not get the virus!
Let’s hope not 😁
NO…too dump
@Becurious The blond is hair weave and a donkey’s hair .
“For some reason she tested positive” Gee, what could that reason be? I don’t know, maybe she CAUGHT THE VIRUS! 🙄
@Janine Carson … Trump is not the sharpest knife
@1997 Mtw He is just using Trump’s words … stay with us 🙂
Tell him testing is like throwing paint on the invisible man then add a crayon drawing of it with captain tRump to the rescue, maybe just maybe…
The rapid testing process they have been using is not particularly reliable (*). The two lately identified may be false positive or they may have been positive in previous days during which the testing equipment was not sensitive enough to detect the virus until it multiplied to a sufficient threshold amount.
(*) One report had the rapid testing at 75% reliable, so 1 in 4 tests could be wrong. The more reliable swab tests were around. 95% reliable meaning that 1 in 20 tests could still be wrong. Wearing masks is the only responsible thing we can do for one another as a society, because testing is not particularly trustworthy; however, it is useful to identify and contact trace to determine whether others should get tested or self-isolate themselves and knowing the aggregate amount of possible infections can help hospitals prepare.
My wife, took a pregnancy test. Came back negative then the following month, for some reason, it came back positive. Can you help me out with that one Donald…. 😂
He sounds like he believes they’re testing a personality trait, not a disease…
He has all the dark triad traits.
Trump is thankful there is not a test for liars. He would be positive, positive, positive.
Ummm….. Doesn’t need to be tested – “he” doesn’t have a personality and as a disease; Trumpelstiltskin45 can’t be cured of “him”self. That would probably be tautolagous (goGoogle “tautology”)……
Seventy-five senators could run this country.. if they thought they were smarter than the President’s men and the President.. and if they were proved right.. we’d be SAVED. This guy’s not interested in the job.
Kayleigh McEnany, Press Secretary, stated on May 6, 2020, “So the notion that everyone needs to be tested is just simply nonsensical. The people who need to be tested are our vulnerable populations.” How is Steve Miller’s wife part of the “vulnerable population?” Trump and the Republican Party are a DANGER to America and American Citizens.
Kayleigh is just another blond who’s bleach job has leaked into what little brain she has left…PLUS NOBODY Else in their right mind would hire this liar..
Now you know why Jared Kushner decided the federal stockpile is meant for them and them alone. They are taking extreme precautions and burning through tons of resources in order to keep themselves safe while at the same time pressuring everyone else to get out and go about life normally. All because they refuse to take a temporary hit in their stock portfolio and think people should die so they dont have to live without their McDonalds hamburders for a while.
Too lazy to read the early briefings about the virus, too stupid to understand how important testing is to containing the spread, too delusional to see the hard reality of the rising infection rate, too narcissistic to believe his administration’s poor response has been anything less than perfect, too paranoid to accept that the mounting death toll is not a Democratic plot to make him look bad, and too impatient to do the hard work necessary to eradicate the disease before restarting the economy. A complete and utter failure of a leader. Four more years of this will reduce America to rubble and ashes.
Hr6666 do your own research. Arguing isn’t necessary, be careful warning comes before destruction. Renew your mind to the most high in thru Jesus. He’s the way truth and light. No man comes to the father except by him.
code- bleu He should seriously be taken out now. Please call on groups like military leaders, intelligence agencies, Healthcare officials and District Attorneys across the country to call for a coup to drag this administration out.
@Schuyler Robinson LOL… There is no GOD, and he certainly isn’t going to save anyone.
Tony M No God, but it is a you tho? Guess you created yourself smh… Don’t get stuck in what you see bro. 🙏🏽 blessings
@Tanner Wilson by a sniper
He’s been tested and has been “negative” let’s not act like he even would tell us if he was positive that’s just how disgraceful he is
Unfortunately, he’s very unlikely to get it. He’s a germaphobe and I’m sure has staff wipe down every room before he enters. He’s even afraid reporters are going to try get infected so they can infect him.
@Charlie Horse doesn’t mean too much obviously.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
yep.. you are 100% spot on. He would just drop out of sight for awhile.. I really don’t know how they would spin it. Our luck, he would survive it, sadly. Maybe they could treat him with hydroxychloroquine, bleach, and UV light?
@connie baldwin I see Pence, “YES”, the presidency is mine, all mine! 😎
Can we have the option of ignoring a president who’s completely incompetent if it’s universally agreed?
Donny’s daddy bought his Wharton grades, so The Dotard has not a clue how testing works.
Alcagaur1
Donnie’s daddy bought his grades starting with kindergarten.
@Tim Downey Fair point – because he’s emotionally still pre-K, I sometimes forget that.
How in the name of Jesus H Christ did you Americans elect this clown – when he lost the popular vote ???
@Dermot Jordan . Trump’s win was a combination of really gullible people voting without a clue, the Electoral College, and Vladimir Putin’s Army of propagandists and hackers.
It’s hard to believe someone so unbelievably stupid occupies the White House.
@DAVID JACKSON Nope he’s never gonna make it, little boy. You will be in for a surprise!
@L B just the congressmen! 😉
@Bruse jorden less? You sure now?
@Ahmed Ismail sorry to correct your math… Buts more than half
@ken rudge yeah Trump is once again the lesser evil compared to Biden, so I’m afraid I have no choice.
That’s why everybody should wear masks even if you just tested negative.
These morons think that testing somehow is a vaccine or offers immunity.
evilSWA – beyond pandora films you’re dumbing the logic down like a plumber with a community college degree. The testing data helps track the outbreak pattern to improve proactive measures across the country. It’s hundreds of millions to a couple billion to implement compared to the hundreds of billions to trillions we’re bleeding. Oh yea. Let’s not forget the societal and human life impact..
E Park how does any of that info relate to the fact that Trump doesn’t understand that testing doesn’t prevent Covid which is clearly what he thinks? See I was making a joke about how dumb the president was… as evidenced by the fact that I’m literally commenting on a video that says Trump still doesn’t get it in which he said I don’t understand why testing is so important because of this specific incident. But please continue to insult me and tell me that I’m a plumber with a community college degree because you didn’t understand the point of my comment. Seems like until you get some reading comprehension maybe you should keep your clever little insults about people dumbing down logic to yourself.
“…for some reason she tested positive.” Because she caught it, stupid.
Out of far too many to choose from, this must be Chump’s most stupid remark!
@Nadia Silvershine That’s not a failing on Hayes’ part. That is a massive, unforgivable, incomprehensible failing on the part of The Phucking Moron and his gang of stupids. “Then she tested positive, for some reason?” Seriously? Did you think those words up in your own head? Jeeezz, what a plank. In fact, two short planks (for British viewers.)
Okay, was Rex Tillerson wrong when he insisted he had called Trump ‘a phucking moron’? Thus, I refer to him as nothing else; The Phucking Moron.
@The Blade Strange, for some reason they call me a thief! (lol)
@MrSparklespring I did? Is this you Donald? It’s not all about you.
Oh right…A bit like not being pregnant one minute then out of the blue, for some reason being pregnant..
He also thinks that if he closes his eyes you can’t see him. Maaaagiiiiiic.
A. Kenneth I’m sure that true. He hasn’t grasped object permanence yet. Most of us do before we’re one year old.
“Genocide is the intentional action to destroy a people—usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group—in whole or in part.” Over 77,000 Americans dead, trump’s negligence, ignorance and arrogance is the basis for the genocide taking place in America today!
@pat comerford Corrected scale on ‘Coronavirus pandemic’ on youtube US 80,787 death
@MrSparklespring Thank you. 😉
@Upper 90 trump would love your response, do you know that?
You have to take into account that is difficult to compare countries because some only count the deaths in hospitals and not in elderly homes (!) some countries only report Covid 19 tested deaths and others also non-tested but suspected to have Covid 19 deaths. In reality I guess that you can nearly double the real death count, unfortunately.
@MrSparklespring I couldn’t agree more with your comment!
