  1. We must remain optimistic. Get rid of the virus and the people who are lying about the virus…Let us take America out of the hands of the enemy!!!

    1. @Patty Martinez i guess if you have that option you should, then you can check the curriculum they are teaching your kids. The 1619 Project school curriculum is being widely taught in U.S. classrooms about systemic racism in America. Oh and you kids may get sick, they will not die if they do get sick. have a nice day!

    2. @Patty Martinez I don’t blame you, you should protect her then. She may actually be at risk, good luck and keep her safe!

    1. Concerned Citizen….our death rate is one of the lowest and we achieved a 99.6% survival rate. Soooo…what are you even talking about?

    2. Who supports the 1619 Project school curriculum being taught in U.S. classrooms about systemic racism in America? Do you support that President Trump has ordered public schools to stop teaching anti-American history classes? If this BS is being taught, then Parents will find other options to teach their children. Maybe Trump 2020 will give funding directly to the student’s parents so they can have school choice?

    3. @Deplorable Centrist Your death rate is NOT “one of the lowest”
      Your mortality rate, deaths per million population is the 8th HIGHEST in the world (of countries with 1million plus population) at 610 DEATHS per million population and rising STILL by 3 deaths per million every DAY.

      Your cases are 9th HIGHEST in the world (of countries with 1 million-plus population) at 20,743 per million population. You are adding 40 THOUSAND cases a day.

      Your chances of dying of this virus are linked, inextricably linked to your chances of GETTING it. When you have a lot of cases, a large PERCENTAGE of a population die, even if the survival rate of CASES is high

      New Zealand has 1809 cases and 25 deaths per million population. The chances of you dying of COVID-19 in New Zealand is 1 in 40 thousand. The chances in the US… one in 16 hundred nearly 25 times HIGHER

    4. Deplorable Centrist you are not good informed. Listen to Trump to much? You know he lies all the time.. greetings from europe. Amerika failed…..

  2. Hey, CEOs! you wanna see an improvement in the “quality of life?” Pay your workers more! stop offshoring jobs! Stop hoovering up all the profits from production so you can live lives of absolute power and luxury, and share profits from production equally – why don’t we start with that?

    1. CEOs don’t dictate what they make the board pays them
      if you want to dictate CEO salary then you have to be sitting on the board of directors

    2. If you work for a large company where there’s a CEO chances are you’re getting pretty good pay already
      I mean unless you’re working for McDonald’s
      Burger flippers aren’t going to make 15 bucks an hour sorry

    3. @J Bo p she doesn’t know anything about business and she doesn’t know that Joe Biden s NAFTA made it possible to offshore jobs

    1. If NYC falls, so will the south. Who do you think funds your poor states? We’re on this together whether you like it or not! Befoon!

    2. Think Harder YOU don’t control anything. You’re no smarter than a dumb lemming of the south. I hate how you stupid dem staters love to think you subsidize everyone else when in reality the big corporations that keep you idiots as slaves are the ones subsidizing the government.

    1. No city, nor metro in the U.S. will ever come close to the population of NYC & the NYC metropolitan region.

      Most important city in the entire Western Hemisphere & many believe the planet.

    2. @Valiant maybe bavk in a day but last 2 mayors drove everything they could out of it. the only thing that holds this city is financial sector, and it started to relocate to texas, they building new financial campus there similar to silicon valey for a few years now.

    3. @D Kon Finances only? What about Food, Fashion, Tourism, Education, Cultural Institutions, etc…? NYC is the most visited city in the _entire_ Western Hemisphere & Times Square is the most visited site in both the United States (over Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles & Orlando) & the entire western hemisphere.

    4. @Valiant education? dude nyc has one of the worst public education in the country. what about food? quality of restorant food went down drastically in the last 15 years. Im european and i tell you the difference in high priced europian restronats are huge, pluss alot of small businesses in the food market are fleeing also due to high coast of leaving and huge taxes. NYC alone sucks up huge chank of states money to the point where there were talks to make nyc independend district so the state dont have to carry it, pluss federal budgeting. Look at pre democrat detroit, in 1960s it was a leaving standard of the world, once democrats took 100% controll, every one strated to flee, businesses and working class left and detroit turned in to the city from 3rd world country. Exact same is happening here right now, the only industry this city have is leaving following by small businesses and working class.

    1. True. And if people want a perfect example of Democrat Hypocrisy, they can look no further than De-Blasio’s handling of Covid in New York.
      Dem leaders keep criticizing Trump for downplaying Covid (he did) but ignore their leaders doing the same.
      For example, in early March De-Blasio was telling New Yorkers to act normal and go about their normal routines. He was downplaying the crisis.
      Fast forward a few months and New York State is a global epicenter.
      And it wasn’t just De-Blasio, remember Cuomo’s lies and incompetence (ie nursing homes), which was the direct cause of thousands of deaths.
      And yet Democrats and Trump haters blame him for Covid deaths? smh

    2. hugh jorgan you’re misunderstanding something. No one tried to downplay it. The WHO and CDC gave them the information currently and claimed it wasn’t a big issue. Your issue lies within the WHO and CDC believing China over Taiwan when corona first started to infect people. If health officials stopped playing politics we would not be in this mess right now. I find it really hard to blame Trump for this when the WHO is leading him by the neck and then all of a sudden claiming corona is an issue lol.

    3. @Jon Doe ..Good point on the poor information from the WHO and CDC.
      And let’s face it, we should all be directing most of our anger on Covid at China.
      But the key point I’m making is Democrats and Trump haters are being hypocritical by criticizing him for downplaying the crisis.
      Worse, they’re massive hypocrites blaming him for deaths but not blaming De Blasio, Cuomo, et al.
      You’re the least of my concerns. You understand the big picture.

  3. As long as NY as well as NYC is run by both Cuomo & De Blasio respectively it will continue it’s decline just like Pelosi’s San Francisco

  4. The damage he’s done by his mandates during this pandemic will take decades to recover from. He’s destroyed small businesses and forced larger businesses to relocate in states with laxer laws. The leadership in NYC has been an absolute disgrace.

    1. Het put blame to where blame us. Trump did this. By allowing citizens to die without no fed help the sob. And its not going to get better until the virus is done and wearing masks is a bug thing open up and more die. It wont be anytime sooner or it will get worse. Don’t believe trump. Russian bunker boy !

    2. @Claire Deiotte The amount of ignorant conjecture is too much for one comment. Trump provided the states with the funds, the ventilators, and the research. He did as much as his federal powers allow without overstepping over state permission. You don’t understand the difference between state and federal, do you? Also, learn english before you spout inane rhetoric.
