  1. Trump: “One day this Coronavirus will dissappear. Like a miracle, it’s going to just dissappear. I use to suffer from debilitating bone spurs. I’m talking tremendous bone spurs. And then one day, POOF….those bone spurs just disappeared.  Poof…..no more bone spurs. Bye bye bone spurs.”

    1. @Mark Hepworth Here’s a good joke for you: What do you call a person who speaks three languages? Trilingual. What do you call a person who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call a person who speaks only one language? British.

  2. Now, did these people get their ‘permission to talk’ note from Public Health authority Mike ‘ God will let you live if he likes you.’ Pence?

    1. Radwulf Eboraci Easy they don’t work for the Federal Government. Every state has it own health department and their own professionals who do not answer to Trump or Pence.

    1. They’re panicking. Everytime a story chips away at their Dear Leaders credibility a little more, they show up in force to do diaper duty for Agent Orange. It’s funny actually.

    2. @Jeremy Backup Racists much? Please explain how I am being paid and hiw I am being paid. Look no evidence to support your claim. Yet you seem to think it is fact. Better get Joe Schiff to investigate.

  3. I do not trust anything Trump pence or white house has to say I’m tired of the lies I would hope that doctors and physicians would come forward and let American people know what they’re really up against at the end of the day it’s those doctors and scientists that we have to rely on to tell us the truth the White House has shown us they are covering everything up

    1. @Justice Boofer Are your politicians behaving irresponsibly, contrary to the current science, and with wreckless endangerment?

      Then yes. Your health care for this virus and any subsequent fibrous masses in your lungs and recurring illness and re-infection by different strain will all be covered because you will be suing Trump and the Republican party for civil and criminal damages to your health, your family’s health, your State’s health and the Nation’s health. As well as damages to your business, your State’s economy and the National economy AND National damage to reputation among International trade partners.

      Yep.😐 But only insofar as what was known to ALL International Infectious Disease Control specialist, at what time and what *your* ones have previously demonstrated or documented as what would have been their standard practices had Trump not obstructed it and/or wiped out the Pandemic Response.

      Simply put: you can sue both Trump and the Republican party. And potentially have them arrested.

  4. No one with a brain trusts Trump … his lies are very dangerous during a public health emergency such as this.

    1. @Corona Virus He asked for too little and he put a fool in charge of the process. Lives are going to be lost due to the idiocy of him and his supporters.

    2. @Corona Virus I do love your straw man attempt.

      I wonder if you realize it was Trump who closed down several research labs and fired the pandemic response team.

  5. Coming from a group who can’t figure out Putin messed w/our elections in 2016,or,can remember he blew up 275ppl on a civilian airline in the Ukrain, sad indeed,Chuck.

  6. The a hole in the white house can care less who believe him or not. He believes his alternative facts and that’s all it matters.

  7. The Trump economy, no solid foundation evaporates in days! The hype economy should be the name! This is what you get when you have a liar running our country and creating hype.
    MAGA MELTDOWN apt name

    1. @Logan McLean I’m way ahead of you there, but it doesn’t change the fact that the American people in the bottom 30% don’t have the money to grow demand. The rich invest in stocks with their tax cuts, nice bubble. We need true demand growth to have a strong economy! kids can’t buy houses, living on predatory credit, the young need the economy America had in the 40’s50’s60’s70’s when GDP growth was
      300% higher

    1. @NDFOOTBALL The only one taking fake news anywhere is you. After all, you believe the man who’s told 17 thousand lies since entering office.

  8. America gives foreign assistance: TO PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS AND AMERICAN SECURITY. We are, unfortunately, seeing an example of this play out right now. In 2018, Trump cut funding to the CDC’s program for global response to epidemics by 80%, forcing the CDC to shut down programs in 39 of the 49 countries where they had operated. Among the countries where the program was shut down: China. Some people ask why the USA spends so much money helping foreigners fight diseases when we have serious health care issues at home. The reason for the CDC global programs that Trump gutted is simple: the best way to prevent a pandemic from ravaging the USA is to contain and treat a disease in the country (or countries) where it began BEFORE it can jump to the USA. The aggressive US response to Ebola in Africa was a great example of how American assistance to foreign countries helps protect Americans.

  9. The trump cult believes they should drink bleach. Sooo,

    I left a message and explained they should add red koolaid to give it the energy of conservative Republican pride.

  10. Me go shopping earlier and Chinese woman talking to herself walking around store (I never see Asians when I go out!!) HELP I THINK I MIGHT be infected woith Corona BEer@!
