  1. Trump’s bragging and false bravado are not directed at the audience in front of him but at his audience of one: his long-dead father.

    1. He asked about some medications when he got there and since they worked we get them for free.. not socalist free. Free free

    2. *Obama Was the Worst President For the Economy in 70 Years*
      April 2017 https://thepoliticalinsider.com/its-official-obama-economy-worst-70-years/

      *President Obama dragged his party far away from the campaign rhetoric of Bill Clinton in 1992 – ‘It’s the economy, stupid.’*

      For all the hysterics from the liberal media about Obama saving America from the Great Recession, the numbers say otherwise.

      New reports show that Obama completely neglected economic growth during his two terms in office,
      becoming the worst president in over 70 years in that category.

      An average growth rate during his eight years of 1.6% lands him at the bottom of a list of 13 post-World War II presidents,
      even being bested by Harry Truman, who had to guide the nation out of war.

      Ouch!

    1. “BEWARE”

      Donalm Trump is more Dangerous than Covid 19. 😘✌🌹💛😘

    2. @Weird Dribs he hasn’t quite defeated it yet sweetie. And he has a huge advantage over the rest of us. Your comment is moot.

  2. The truth is Trump has *access to the best medication and the best possible treatment available, beyond the means and not yet approved for use by the general public. Paid for by Tax Payers but he calls it “Immunity”. Amazing Mental Olympics logic, worthy of a gold medal.* There have already been cases where people who recovered from covid-19, were reinfected a second time with a different mutated version of covid-19. The second time these people were infected, they were worse off and more ill because their bodies were already weakened and compromised from the previous infection and they almost died. So the antibodies their immune systems created, did not help them fight the second mutated version. I believe the mutated versions has gone from 3 to 9 types, so far. *Regeneron,* the company that helped in providing this antibody cocktail for covid-19 were successful in testing a similar antibody cocktail for the Ebola virus using this technique. which basically includes all the different antibodies for the different versions of Ebola anyone may have, covering all the bases. So I suspect Trump will recover quickly and say it was like a mild flue like symptom and he is a superman. Unless he has a mutated version of covid-19 where these antibodies may not be included in this current antibody cocktail. If only the 210K American people who died so far, were lucky enough to have this option.

    1. All the health care workers risking their lives every day are standing up cheering and clapping for you.

    2. It’s not the Rrgeneron anti bodies or the Remdesivir on which you need to focus. It’s the steroids. We have a 74 year old man with severe psychological issues getting a mood altering drug for the first time in his life. This is not going well, and is not likely to get better.

    3. ​@ruth depew I get your point about the medication.I know he is as high as a kite, floating about the oval office but my point about the Regeneron antibody cocktail treatment he is receiving, has only had a hand full of test studies. So he probably requested it. Convalescent Plasma usually has antibodies for one specific strain of Covid-19. So basically antibodies from different patients, who have a different mutated version of Covid-19 are collected to create an antibody cocktail. This is a very costly treatment but his $750 annual paid taxes provide him the best medical care in existence. A Marine One trip to and from the hospital. A lavish space reserved for the President at Walter Reed but probably only has one or two TVs. He watched 7~8 hrs of TV per day. So I am sure he got bored staying there. My point is I expect him to make a fast recovery and claims he is genetically superior alpha male, saying Covid-19 is nothing but a mild flue and having nothing to do with the team of doctors and special care he is receiving. Not even realizing $750 would only cover us for a few tablets of Bufferin in a hospital.

  3. Steven Miller can not be infected by Covid-19. I don’t believe it. A Soulless Bloodsucker can not catch this virus.

    1. Hey, in blade trinity they came up with an airborne vampire killing virus, so no bloodsucker is safe

    1. Funny, Trump believes in “Magic” but he doesn’t believe in “Karma” or “Omens”. 💚❣💝🔴💌

  4. Trump doesn’t care about his staffers he only cares about his needs and right now his needs is to be shown as a strong man no matter how many people have to sacrifice themselves for him.

    1. Trump doesn’t care about his staffers he only cares about his needs and right now his needs is to be shown as a strong man no matter how many people have to sacrifice themselves for him. 😘💓💛🧡🧡💛

    2. @Laura Zaboraski What about the non-political people who do the heavy lifting there–ordinary folks who may have had their job for years, most of whom are minority individuals.

    3. @Laura Zaboraski some of those people are probably there because, like so many other Americans, they need the paycheck.

  5. Clearly there are no plans to deal with “Act of Domestic Terrorism” in federal government. After removing mask and entring WH a new title was born #DomesticTerroristInChief per 18 U.S. Code § 2331 section 5 Defines the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
    (A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
    (B)appear to be intended—
    (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
    (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
    (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
    (C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States;

  6. The White House is to late, the virus has taken America over we will have Biden and his team soon to fix this mess Trump allowed to over take us

    1. It’s going to take a year to get that trumpy smell out of the White House, I bet Melonia’s bedroom smells like dead fish and regret, The Oval Office is going to need a new carpet from all the drainage leaking out of Ivanka’s greasy taco

    2. How is it going to be fixed, when there are millions still saying it’s a hoax…no worse than the flu…or wearing a mask is taking away their freedom.

    3. The only places that are suffering didn’t accept help.. there are still billions left over from the last bill and ships and materials that didnt get used just because trump sent them

  7. Here’s a message for you Trump: Stay “POSITIVE” and be “POSITIVE” because, just like your loser wife said..”I really don’t care do you?”……….VOTE BLUE AMERICA, AND SAVE OUR CONTRY AND OUR MORAL COMPASS.

  8. What the Trump administration does exceeding well is lie. They lie so often people get to expect it. It’s pretty pathetic, really. That is the word, “pathetic” that I am hearing the rest of the world using regularly to describe the Trump administration. I guess they are ok with that. Just remember Trump, it’s not just the Americans that don’t trust you. Nobody does.

  9. The White House is infested with the “Trump Virus” we will have to tent it before Biden and his Administration take over…. 210K Americans gone.😞 Biden/Harris 2020💯💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 VOTE !!!

  10. Ignore the polls and trolls!
    Vote too big to rig!
    Vote country over party!
    Vote too save democracy in America!
    Biden/Harris 2020❤️🤍💙

    1. I am really comfortable as my family and friends in Canada, because we did it right. Good luck, you all had the scientific info… if Trump, really read it… oh wait, he did way back and told Bob Woodward so … he didn’t want it to be a moment … so good luck to you and your family… the winter will be a rough ride …

    2. Don’t give up on us our good neighbor Canada! If we re-elect Trump (God forbid!) then you can give up on us.

  11. Enough about Trump. He is irrelevant. The focus is on Biden winning big N3 and a better America and world.

    1. Susan Collins is tied in her state..
      Graham needs to go..i think he just might👍😁
      McSally what’s her name? Is losing right now to mark Kelly but it’s gonna be iffy til the end..we need to get at least 4 repubs out..but many are up for re-election so if you can..plz donate or if in your state vote BLUE BLUE BLUE 💙💙💙💙

  12. This man is a failure as a leader, leaving the hospital, a very qualified fine hospital, and removing the mask is total insanity, Only a fool will vote Orange Corvid into Office a second term

  13. I like Presidents who aren’t Pathological Liars, Narcissistic Sociopaths, and Super Spreaders of a deadly virus!!!

    1. Deadly to .01% of the population. Sweden got it right. MSNBC is fake news. You’re no different than people wearing maga hats. You’re all pathetic!

    2. Psychological projection is a defense mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others. The Democrat playbook.

  14. The White House is the most dangerous covid place in the country. End of quote. Nancy Pelosi is a strong woman who fights for the poor people in the country.

  15. It all started with a President who thinks he’s a god, to be served, rather than a public servant, who serves the people.

  16. If someone was HIV positive and they purposely infected and put people’s lives at risk they would be arrested and facing criminal charges.
