More evidence of Trump’s failings.
Anne Marie 😂🤣
Dave Schultz This is even a better time. 🤣

Robert The Bruce try harder, Yuri.
😢🖕🇺🇸
@Tony DeMaria Murderous adminstration. Withholding tests and stockpiles of things we paid for, from us. Jared admitted it.
Such a disaster and way too many people are treating it like it’s not.
@reibob r – the leftists in this thread got schooled today. Did YOU read the thread?
@reibob r You know everything thing they use is out of text.
Oreo3310+/
@Eddy Hanson any critical thinking would be lost on you
@ursula mittmann – do you even know what you’re talking about? I mean, you can’t argue against my point so you let me know you agree with me? That’s kinda dumb
tRump & the entire tRump administration needs a type of “War Crimes Against America & The World Tribunal” to commence! I would gladly volunteer for jury duty!
Me too
@Zauhn Sims : You were called up for this most Patriotic Jury Selection & seeing how you’d like to participate then so it will be. This makes 3 Jury members & James will act as executioner pending verdict. ABN Props will act as tRumps defence counsel alongside Alan DerShitStainOWitSki even though I think he has some liability himself. We will let DerShitZ try to defend tRump then he can argue & fight for his own life cause there would have to be many many other hench people to be tried. We will concentrate with the big Kahuna tRump for expediency today. Whose next.
Human life is clearly not on his agenda. His agenda consists of the desolation of the American people. He and Pence must be held accountable and removed from office as soon as possible. This is genocide.
I’m with you on that too bad we can’t sue him personally for all the deaths
Baby drumphf I start with making “ordering to work ina meatpacking plant with ill.peopleonAllsides
Trump can’t keep his own diseases task Force healthy no less 🇺🇸
@Reg U while you are a poor pathetic excuse for a testicle.
@Wonder Wonderful lol you sound like the woman in the coffeehouse who saw a guy with a “make America great again” hat and said to all the other patrons, “let’s get him!” and everyone looked at her like she was crazy.
@tumbacan good thing Obama is not in charge any longer!
@SouthSide Chicago Also you may say that there is going to be a hurricane season or a flu season.
@Mega Man Where? When? Who?
I can’t belived the we have a clown for president
@allan rhead Omg I hope not… they’ll re-name it Trumpney Land.
@Sosa_ 24 Flush the turd November 3rd
nah you have a moronic cheerleader
He is not funny, but he could be like those horror clowns…that would fit.
@Eli Dicken 😘
Trump sure has an awful lot of former ‘disgruntled employees’. A sure sign of a bad boss.
A F “betters”??? Aaahhhahahahaha!!! Your rent only shows your lack of judgment clouded by your hatred…
@Scott Comstock hatred? For trump? Yeah, you have that right. I hate his lying, his arrogance, his lack of empathy, his xenophobia, his misogyny, his hatred of all science and scientists, his inability to string words into complete, understandable coherent sentences…I could go on. I usually save the term hate for hating Brussels sprouts, but in Trump s case I make an exception. For you? I feel only pity..btw my RENT?
A F Yeah your hatred has blinded you to what is real…that’s the point…you’re just not smart enough to get it! But at least thanks for admitting it the first true thing you said…
@Scott Comstock I will take my smartness over trump or any of his cult, including you, any day
A F you mean you will take your drugs over anything any day…
Twitter meltdown imminent.
He isn’t doing it now? SMH he’ll do it at around 3 am when he’s on Adderall
Twitter meltdown -imminent- constant.
@Jason A your statement is way more accurate Jason
Dr Bright should lead the charge on coronavirus for America, instead this guy gets replaced.
@AO 150 years ago people weren’t pushing so much poison into the air and the land and the sea and the drinking water tables. How many cars are on the road now compared to then? (Are you saying that AOC is not educated? Seriously?) How do you explain the ice melting so rapidly in the north pole? How do you explain to people who used to live on islands who now have no home because the water has risen over their island? Do you know what – forget all the ‘science’ – just go and watch some David Attenborough on TV.
@Margaret Nicol Honey……stop now…….Stay home if you are afraid…….That applies to everyone who sees me without a mask and goggles and gloves……. Enough now. Calm down
@Joanne James Fine but perhaps you could make a list of all the people you come into contact with to make it easier for them to do the tracing when they need to.
He was complaining for 13 years. Sitiation was screwed up during obama.
@PRITPAL SINGH Stop falling for the Trump excuses of blaming everyone else for everything. The point is that Trump should and could have acted much quicker. He should certainly have put the American people before profit. He’s still doing it with the vaccines. How can I make a buck out of this rather than concentrating on keeping people safe until the vaccine arrives.
“I told the president that you cannot consume disinfectants…” – Dr Fauci
What does that tell you ?
@Hanson you made the question, give yourself the answer.
@Walter Bonvecchio figure it out yourself
@Hanson Tells me “nuff said.” Get him (orange one) outta here.
Birx has sold her soul to the devil. Tragic end to an honorable career
She always looked scared to me…. Silly lady
Exactly
Couldn’t have said it better.
Birx? You mean the one with the expired medical license…
She sold herself a long time ago so did fauci!!!! I’m sure these people are to blame for the rise of certain diseases
The Trump Administration is easily the most incompetent and corrupt in the history of this country.
So beautifully concise, the right wing hacks and clowns you’re engaging/destroying don’t even come close nor stand a chance. Brilliant!
White House are infested with corrupt dictators
@allan rhead Don’t forget Kentucky!
@Anne Marie Hey Anne. Still waiting for YOU to tell me how and when Mr. Trump lied and is doing a bad job as POTUS. Haven’t seen ANYTHING from you about this. Please give examples. You are a very uninformed and rude woman who just likes to throw around words without any FACTS
@Anne Marie I used caps so you could read my comment as you obviously have missed my points entirely in the past. I don’t listen to the people at Fox News very often. and finally, DJT is not a racist nor is he a traitor or any of the other horrid and misplaced words that you and your “friends” have called him. He is concerned with getting this country back up and running. And for my money he’s the ONLY person in this country willing and able to do that job. Stay at home Anne and wait for something to happen……… it’s America you still have that “right”.
PS: Name calling our POTUS is simply childish and rude
It looks like Trumps mismanagement skills are coming to light… The same ones that he used leading to 6 bankruptcies.
6 Ithought he had 9 bankruptcies! Oh well he’ll get there.
Before all this is over he will be bankrupt at least 12 times and will be lucky to live through it because Russia is not very fond of loosing there money that trump owes them. Bankruptcy won’t help him with Russia and China.
Trump is in way to deep now and won’t get out of this one. Truly he would be better off getting the virus himself so he won’t have to deal with what’s coming to him. Ha Ha
6? Many more than that. I recall reading 13. And he does that to avoid taxes. So where is his support of the military? And first responders who get from taxes. He cheats, that’s why he hides his tax filings. Schmuck!
And now he’s coming to take the country down number 7
@Hanson if you could get the racist to get a brain
You are not an ACCEPTABLE president, let alone person, father or husband.
Holly Baker <<— Idiot on Fake Page Patrol. 🚨
@Ice 247
Do you mean she a fake TROLL?
Or friend. All individual one’s best people and friends have nice tire marks on their backsides.
Trump didn’t murder his offspring like liberal inbreeding cultists do
@Mueller Time 👌
All I’m saying is…if everybody you know is “angry and disgruntled” maybe it’s not everybody, maybe it’s you…
Devo Totally, that’s why the US has over 1 million more confirmed cases than any other country on Earth. If only China was honest with us, Trump wouldn’t have been so lazy about it! Pfft. That post didn’t say anything about when to go into lockdown, just pointed out all the other mistakes made in recent months…
@BlackHat 420 im saying that evry country was “lazy”.
@Devo Hmm.. Gotta disagree there too. South Korea had their first confirmed case the same day as us and they actually took it seriously at the time. We have 10x as many cases as the next country down the list and that all comes down to their leadership’s decisive actions. It’s an objective fact that they handled it better than us.
Even if you were right, do you think this is the best we can do?
@BlackHat 420 than compare it to the EU. You seem to think they are handeling it perfect or much better. 1.6mil infected and 155k died. You tell me why the EU seems so much better the way they handeld it than how Trump handled it.
They lie to us on daily bases, they only tested those in the hospital at first and of an age of 70. The rest is was presumed. The deaths slowed down but the infected spiked when testing started for more.
@Devo That’s the problem, I wasn’t comparing us to the EU, I was pointing out how some countries had a coordinated response which saw much better results in controlling the spread which is why I specifically mentioned South Korea. In your comparison, the EU is made up of multiple countries combined that are usually much more clustered in terms of population density than the U.S.
Not to mention it spread to them first so they didn’t have as much advance warning as we did! I believe I mentioned previously that it spread to the states from Europe rather than China. We seem to be quickly approaching that number ourselves, though, since the President thinks that if we stop testing for it the virus will just go away on its own.
You never did answer my question: Do you think this is the best we can do? Abdicate responsibility, hand millions in tax dollars to private entities for ventillators from silicon valley that didn’t exist, and allow the states to enter bidding wars over medical supplies? Not to mention this “Obamagate” smokescreen to distract everyone from yet another whistleblower exposing the corruption in the highest office.
When a political party views science as a threat to its survival, avoid that organization at all costs.
@muuuuuud razor8191 said science, not fake science. Trump is lucky if he knows how to use a band-aid properly. I may not be an authority of science, but I know the different ways germs are able to spread and what highly contagious means. COVID-19 is easily spread by people that don’t even know they have it. They don’t show signs for 5-14 days if they show at all. That’s at least 5 days of the virus being spread unknowingly. If a person doesn’t show symptoms that could go on for weeks. I don’t even want to think of the decimation of life that this would very likely cause. I would be surprised if it doesn’t end up being a reason to charge a carrier of the virus a murderer.
yes yes yes and yes.
And when a politician sees truth as a threat to his career survival, he becomes a threat to human survival.
razor8191 They are just like Jehovahs Witnesses
(Pandemic) DRAGGING OF FEET response of this administration is an intentional MURDEROUS ATTACK on the WORKING-CLASS voters of America
You talk about no self awareness Trump just a week ago was talking about injecting disinfectant to fight the virus …..and now he still wants to give his uneducated and ridiculous advice Trump is the epitome of arrogance and ignorance
His people did it
Arrogance + ignorance = danger and stupidity.
And if even a fraction of his followers had taken his advice, Trumputin was on track to become an even greater mass-murderer than Jim Jones.
true!
Don’t believe nothing trump say
Dr. Bright, is a hero. I salute the man for standing up against ignorance and tyranny from the white house.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So how come they never put him under oath if he’s supposedly telling the truth?
I totally agree. I wish there would be a straight up revolt against Trump, everyone that agrees with the actual experts join together and just ignore Trump’s dangerous negligence, his ignorance and bulling.
It was high time someone stood up to those loonies in the WH!
America is not ready to tackle Covid until tRump is removed from office!
@Brian S We coming to yo house for a victory party buddy. Sorry you can’t join the celebration. Keep the beer cold for us!!
@Trump 2Q2Q The Library You’re insane. TRUMPGATE
Brian S you sound sad is America great again yet?
Christopher Colon more make believe bs you’re not Latin and you’re not sane.
PLEASE STAY IN LOCKDOWN FOR YOUR PROTECTION and keep watching this news and CNN enjoy your gates vaccine as well
The way this is going America should file a class action lawsuit against Trump.
@Henry S Australia is in the southern Hemisphere and haven’t had their flu season yet, their GDP and amount of travel is miniscule compared to the US and their entire population is about 4x the city of New York. It’s easy to have good virus numbers when your closest neighbors are a kangaroo and a crocodile.
@Henry S no one doubts China is efficient–Chinese, Japanese, Germans and other Nordics (and Rwandans) are naturally efficient people/societies because they have cultivated that culture for decades. America, due to how it’s structured, has never been especially efficient so you were expecting too much. Having said that I don’t believe Trump expects the WHO to investigate. He wants to send in his own team as he clearly doesn’t trust them. This is no different from the Australian government which is looking to send in an Independent team because they clearly have no confidence in the WHO.
Brian S Respectfully, you’ve just displayed staggering ignorance regarding Australia….
Because much of Australia is inhabitable, the population is concentrated on the South East coast of the country, and as such is one of the most urbanised countries in the planet- Sydney and Melbourne are bigger than most US cities- with huge level of immigration and close ties to China (one of the biggest trading partners).
The big difference is good governance, a national strategy based on evidence, and joined up thinking between state and federal government…everything lacking currently in the US….
Also largest source of infraction into Australia is from the US….
Australia’s population is 12x less than the US but has 65x less mortality per capita…. that delta is not by accident.
But as asked above, and my general point is how have you arrived at the opinion that the WH’s response to this pandemic is any way successful?
Vacuum guys And good luck getting any sovereign country allowing a 3rd country or a supranational organisatio, WHO or otherwise, to come in uninvited to undertake an investigation….
Not sure I understand the rest of your comment.
@Henry S cuttting off flights from China while China lying, the WHO covering for China and being called a racist saving at least a million lives is one way. The fastest mobilization in a pandemic in world history for therapeutics, ventilator manufacturing, vaccine research, , PPE and temporary hospitals is another.
Don’t worry. The virus genie is out of the bottle and won’t be put back in. You can pat yourself on the back now but every country is going to get their turn at this, maybe now or in the next wave, count on it.
Sure, open the schools. Let Trump’s grandkids be the first ones to go.
@impala tmech81
Go try to get your brain back !

@angelo bucciarelliCaptain Covid. Mango Menace. Prez Cheeto. The Orange Virus. He sucks so bad at his job.

@impala tmech81 are you in your panic room? I’ve already had it, I had to stay in isolation, I am ready to go back to work. but only with safety assured. Mask, gloves, and a safe environment.
