  1. The squatter in the White House is toxic. He is more deadly than the virus and should be treated accordingly.

    1. Mike Myers dude, you literally can’t spell “mama”or “mamma”. The word most people learn to speak first?!?! Has anyone ever told you you’re too stupid to understand what’s happening in the world around you? Time to take a look at your dumb self in the mirror

    1. @carlos ponce Covid 19 exploded BECAUSE of Trump’s lack of leadership and idiocy. He is responsible for all the deaths in America from Covid and you are backing someone who doesn’t even understand their own limit of powers. Says alot about your intelligence, or lack thereof

    1. you know “we” can’t do that. You must write and phone your reps right now, twice a day, demanding his removal. Remind them that he is insane and has his hand on 20,000 nukes.

  2. Him saying “I am the president, and I have the highest authority” is like in Game of Thrones, King Joffery saying “I AM THE KING!”
    A king who needs to say “I am the king” is no king at all.

    1. He thinks like a company president. Bout, sorry for him, America is a federal government. So, basically, states has its own jurisdictions. Does the president has the knowledge of the basic rules and constitution!? Ahahah, What a disgusting president.

  3. So now does the *CHEERLEADER* have TOTAL AUTHORITY over the *STAR QUARTERBACKS?*
    Or is it metrics again?
    👉🏼🤪

  4. I’m in love with Cuomo. A true leader. A real man. Thinks before he speaks and communicates clearly. 😻😻😻😻

  5. A week ago: “The states should start doing more.”
    Now: “The states can’t do anything without my say so.”

    1. States should prepare for themselves, not the fed doing it for them, but they need my approval to prepare and I gave my approval early, that’s why we are beating this virus- Trump 2020

    2. @Skinny Vinnie
      We’re not beating it you knob. Cases and deaths are going up, and if the economy re-opens, it will get worse.

    3. @Keniso S. I’m guessing that skinny vinnie was being sarcastic with his comment… maybe… 🤪😵🥴

  6. This CHILD in office has no clue how anything works. What exactly did he “Make great again”? I have no idea lol

    1. A huge load of crap. That’s what! And I wish we could speak differently of ours here in UK or EU. Every politician is trying to look better now, even though they all WAITED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE doing anything about it.
      I still can’t believe that

    2. he and his administration removed restrictions, regulations that keep Americans and others safe but big business in the green and 1%.

    1. Don’t forget he got elected and support is not going down. In a democracy you get what you vote, and therefore kinda what you deserve as a country.

    2. @B A Blumenthal Thanks for that its a good explanation of the US system. But in my eyes the point is still valid even its not a majority vote. There must be enough popular support for a cantidate to be elected. Most democratic countries have such mechanism in place. I actually know only one “real” democracy which is switzerland.

  7. In a nutshell the “President” doesn’t understand what the President does. That’s reassuring.

  8. From somebody living across the other side of the world, who really has no say at all in the USA, how in this wide world are you allowing this man to continue bringing your country to its knees?
    He has taken the country from a major power to a major laughing stock, and continues to attempt to enhance his own stupidity at the cost of people’s lives.
    I don’t think he gives a moment’s thought to the lives lost in your country.
    Perhaps he thought that the culling out of so many older citizens would enhance the economy.
    Or does he really think at all?
    God bless America… You need as much help as you can get.

    1. Hatred for all minorities, broke people believing Dump45 would make them richer, the vile disgusting verbal attacks ratchet people accepted as normal because they are cowards, his immiment jealousy of President Barak Obama and his goal to dismantle any and everything that man has done for the US…..

    2. David K … I 100% AGREE! However the ONE good thing Trump is doing (not on purpose of course) is showing many Americans and the rest of the world the level of corruption, greed, income inequality, lack of healthcare and stupidity that exists within the US. Most other countries have this as well but he is certainly making it painfully obvious how bad it is in the US. What’s also becoming very apparent is the amount of corruption and cowardice that is present in much of the establishment politics on BOTH sides as well as the amount of media bias that exists. There is far too much money in politics and the media corporations and it’s been quite revealing as to how this money and power affects their decisions and reporting. Don’t get me wrong … I’m not standing up for Trump AT ALL! But from my perspective having this MORON in office has exposed many of the issues that MAKE AMERICA NOT GREAT!!

  9. this president is a “joke” or a “hoax”… America never had a King… and Trump wants to be king? Can’t find suitable words to describe this man…

    1. @Sombo Swalahe you got the “wrong end of the stick” , I hate Chumpski and believe he is acting like a king/dictator he admires the dictators of this world Russia and north korea etc ..

    2. @ANony Mouse Funny how more people that hate him don’t even reside in America. Perfect! That’s exactly why our “electoral college thingy” does work, and exactly why we made him our leader. The harder we make it to mooch off of our success the more your foreign leaders will chastise our president. Keep it coming kids. 2020

    3. @Kenny B “Funny how more people that hate him don’t even reside in America” Most of the world hates america or at least americas actions .. You don’t have to live there for a pov of either ..
      Your president is a laughing stock on the world stage and for good reason ..
      A dangerous fool supported by “delusional” idiots ..

      You are mistaken in believing the world sees the US as the “promised land”, the more the whole world sees just how corrupt its govt is and just how little it helps its own people the happier we are NOT to be american ..
      re: Success ? is that successfully owing China trillions and China owning a big chunk of the USA ..
      The USA is as we say in the UK “all furcoat and no knickers” ie: living beyond your means ..

    4. Yeah you got it .. USA #1 in the pandemic charts .. USA *way out in the lead* of Covid cases 675,000.
      You’re doing a great job, a perfect example of how well the US looks after its people ..
      I wish you good luck as you’re gonna need it with Chumpski leading the “fight” ..

  10. Sorry to my American, what you have to endure is way worse than only coronavirus, you have to deal with an horrible president

    1. @Amber Relyea
      Only those who have any turn of common sense are aware. There needs to be a change in this country.

    2. @Keniso S. Yes, many were aware while he was running for president what a horrible situation the U.S. would be in, but, common sense doesn’t buy votes. I live in New York, about 60 miles north of NYC. He should remember that his golden tower is where he will return when this circus is over. His ambivalence over supporting the U.S. epicenter of infection is maddening. Acting as though he assembled the respirators with his own hands and what a huge favor he did for NY. A few years sheltered and an even further swollen ego completely removed him from his home. The landscape and “welcome” will be much changed when he returns.

    1. U’r right…… Its scary how much he’s like Hitler….. & look where that went. The most evil man in history. Trumps going to leave a similar imprint in the history….time to say “YOU’RE FIRED” & dump trump’s rump!!!

  11. He would “go there” because he’s mentally ill and has the most fragile ego of any public figure in history.
