Fmr. Obama Aide: We Need 'Clear & Consistent Model Behavior & Information' On Coronavirus From WH

  1. I don’t know if I buy the story about Trump testing positive for Covid. It is a hoax after all (sarcasm).

    Anyway, I think that he realizes how badly his behavior at the Debate really hurt him and is looking to change the narrative to sympathy.

    Unfortunately, I have absolutely NO sympathy for him. I don’t wish him good or bad…I’m indiferent. I am giving him the same sympathy he has given the 200k + people who died. It is what it is.

    1. Listen to Michael Moore’s podcast on this. It could all be a ploy to help him get out of a huge defeat. Would’t put it past him.

  2. His staying at the hospital for a few days..WHAT….his supposed to have contracted covid what happened to quarantine for 14 days …SMH this makes no sense he just wants attention and his pretending to be sick….he has no empathy for the thousands that have died because of this virus….

    1. @JazlDazl Trump’s stupidity coupled with the gullibility of those who believe him are responsible for more than 200,000 dead Americans.Look in the mirror. You and idiots like you have contributed to the death toll.
      BTW – you do remember that our Moron-in-Chief did brag about passing a test for dementia, don’t you?

  3. It’s a hoax. Fake news. Trump is going to fake his death and go into hiding for the rest of his life! 🤣🤣🤣

  4. Mr Biden stopped his ads. I heard tRumps are still running his. One is a bully and the other is a respectable gentleman. VOTE HIM OUT. VOTE FOR BIDEN-HARRIS. Stay safe and stay and stay well.

    1. The covid China virus is going to give Trump a boost in the polls. The blmantifa violence makes Trump look good, not a single law enforcement group will endorse Biden. The impeachment made Trump look good as people saw it a total partisan fantasy. The economy has always been and will be Trump’s strength. Now he can use covid as another “weapon in his quiver” as Pelosi states it.

    2. @IAN CAGNITO He already got a trip to the hospital from the virus and now the moron is going to have to wear a mask and that will be a constant reminder of his and your stupidity .

  5. Donald J. Trump has used the United States Presidency to behave recklessly by downplaying the coronavirus pandemic in America and by mocking Joe Biden over wearing a facemask.

    1. TRUMP AFRAID HE GOING TO PRISON .THATS WHY HE RANS TO THE HOSIPTAL. KARMA THOUGHTS THATS WHEN I WOKES UP. WILL RECEIVED GOOD NEWS.TOO BAD NOT YETS.

    2. Brock Madigan take away old people, middle age people and young people and no one has died from the coronavirus.

  6. Another episode of Trump’s reality show. Unfortunately, Americans who live in the REAL reality, pay the consequences. He is so unbelievable.

    1. Unbelievable my whole life is changed with Crypto trading. I was a debtor and almost kicked out of my house but Mr Daniel Changed that from happening with his strategies. I invested $3,200 and got back $13,700 just after seven days of investing with him. Thank you so Mr Daniel, you can contact him on Instagram @Danielwrightfx

  7. Hydrochloraquine for Trump. Fox News, the media mass murderer, may want to step up to pay Trump’s medical bill.

  8. Is this clear?
    THIS IS A LETHAL, AIRBORNE VIRUS DESPERATELY AND AGGRESSIVELY SEEKING A HUMAN HOST. WEAR A MASK!!

  9. I agree, Persident canidate Joe Biden, is and will be that person.
    Trump exposed people with no concern and regards except for himself.

  10. Something tells me this could be an election trick to show the voters how strong he is and how Covid19 is nothing but a simple cold. The real Evil Clown is at it again. I hope I’m wrong but ……..

    1. I think you are right, and furthermore, wait to see him promoting an insufficiently-tested cure that allegedly saved him.

  11. PLOT TWIST: Trump goes on a ventilator and Obama COMES BACK and becomes President for a 3rd term 🥳🥳🥳😁😁😁

  12. I don’t feel bad for someone who is purposely responsible for over 200,000 deaths, that is trump! You know the guy that said; “It is what it is”

  13. Joe Biden is not trying to infect American’s by the thousands😔 Trump & his administration is…
