    1. @S Two notable epidemiological projections, based on theoretical models of transmission and “idealized hypothetical assumptions,” have estimated that between 80% and 90% of American deaths could have been averted had lockdowns and social distancing begun two weeks earlier.Jun 19, 2020

  1. Big question, Why do Trump’s voters continue to believe the obvious lies and continue to support him with their votes?

    1. Walt Schmidt No one is worse than Trump. He is, hands down, the worst, most unfit, dumbest president in our history. Exactly as expected.

  2. People are insane to believe that the orange blight is anti-abortion, someone needs to question Cohen about how many abortions he set up for trump’s mistresses.

    2. @thowe624 lol, I left that party almost 2 decades ago, but didn’t swear off voting for them until Trump. #NEVERAGAINGOP

  3. If you always wished the “Hand maids tale” was reality then Trump’s phony Christian fascist party is for you. I’m taking a hard pass. Please Vote.

  4. All Republicans are of a pro-birth ideology… After that it is no longer relevant. For the first 18 years they can’t vote for you.

  5. If the orange blight is so pro-life, why did he lie so many times while Americans died in numbers so great the morgues and funeral homes couldn’t keep up?

    1. Get this p*nk out of w. House
      Before he kills one of your love ones
      Plus he has no class
      To be the leader
      Straight up
      Trailer trash

  6. a Democrat wore a brown suit and the Republican Party was all up in arms oh, but a republican has allowed over 200,000 people to die through negligence…. And Republican Party hasn’t said a word!

    1. Oh, they’ve said words… words of excuse, words of downplay, words of deflection, words of denial… words of the most special pleading

  7. There is more than enough evidence to charge Trump with criminal negligent homicide of at least 100 thousand Americans.

    In proving negligent homicide, the prosecution only needs to establish that the defendants knew the risks associated with their actions.

    1. The defendant was aware of the risks associated with the actions that led to the other person’s death. ✔

    2. The defendant acted, or failed to act appropriately in a dangerous situation, and that action or inaction caused the victim’s death. ✔

    3. There is a direct link between the defendant’s conduct and the victim’s death. ✔

    Trump has admitted to downplaying the virus from the very beginning. He has been telling lies to the American since January, and with lethal consequences.

    Trump told Woodward he’s been minimizing the threat posed by the outbreak.
    Trump: “I wanted to always play it down. I still like playing it down,” Trump said.

    Trump during February 7 phone call with Bob Woodward:
    “It goes through air, Bob. That’s always tougher than the touch. You know, the touch, you don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than your, you know, your even your strenuous flus. This is 5% vs 1%. You know so, this is deadly stuff.”

    Three weeks after that call, Trump told this lie to the public during a February 26 White House press conference:
    Trump: “It’s a little like the regular flu that we have flu shots for. And we’ll essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner.”

    March 19: Trump again talked with Woodward. He acknowledged emerging evidence that a wide age range can be gravely impacted by the coronavirus.

    Trump: “Now it’s turning out it’s not just old people, Bob. Just today and yesterday some startling facts came out. It’s not just old — it’s plenty of young people,” he said.

    May 6: Following a concerted push to reopen schools beginning in late April, Trump lied again when he suggested that children aren’t susceptible to the coronavirus.
    Trump: “We realize how strong children are, right? Their immune system is maybe a little bit different. Maybe it’s just a little bit stronger, or maybe it’s a lot stronger,” he said.

    Aug. 5: Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported over 240,000 documented COVID-19 cases in children at this point, Trump told this lie during an interview:

    Trump: “If you look at children, children are almost — and I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease.” He adds “They don’t have a problem. They just don’t have a problem.”

    Trump knew that what he was telling the American was NOT true. And at least 100 thousand American citizens have died because of his lies.

    Trump would be in a better shape politically if he had been honest with the American people from the beginning. Which just proves that even when telling the truth would be substantially better for Trump, he STILL chooses to lie. Smh.
    That is the mark of a bonafide pathological liar.

    Allan Lichtman, the historian known for accurately predicting presidential elections, said that Trump’s downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic will be remembered as “the greatest dereliction of duty” in presidential history..

    1. mark…i seriously think he would send his own kids to prison before he would himself! he is a coward and a disgusting POS!

  8. A President who talks about Pro-Life with Over 200,000 Human lives are gone
    And tells US ” to send Our Children Into His war Zone “

  9. Through his own actions, more and more people are realizing every day that Trump is a despicable, incompetent, and pathological liar!

    1. johnny… i have been registering people who actually loved him but never voted before. they are upset because they didn’t get a 2nd stimulus and now they are being evicted from their rental homes because they work really hard and they feel used and they are scared…they don’t believe in him anymore. the media doesn’t cover it but they are the ones who are standing in long lines to vote!

  10. How can someone even claim to be “pro-life” when they’re giving unwanted hysterectomies to unwilling women.
    What Trumps administration has done is a clear violation against human rights AND about as ANTI-life as a sick mind like trumps can get.

  11. It’s funny that Corporate Greed is driving all decisions made in the White House, yet the American public thinks Trump has their backs!! 🤦🏼‍♀️
