  1. Good, they down played it for months. Walking around without protection and should suffer greatly from this. 206,000 dead people they need to taste the sufferance.

    1. Paula Dixon Insurance Broker, maybe now he MIGHT listen to the experts! Can’t fix stupid, so probably not.

  2. trump: HOAX, HOAX… IT’S ALL A BIG HOAX

    America: What is?

    trump: my life, my wealth, my marriage… all of it’s a hoax 😢

    America: Oh, I thought you were talking about something important 😶

    1. Isn‘t Trump suggesting that the Democrats are exaggerating the danger of the Coronavirus pandemic to hurt him politically?

    2. @David Montgomery …Yawn…..”This Corona Virus…is nothing but a Democrat HOAX”…..said Trump….Feb 28/2020…I suggest you learn how to use Google…LOL!

    1. He’s about to pull the sympathy card. Old grumpy azz. He done put all his rally supporters in danger.

    2. That’s what I’m thinking too. That his advisers saw this as a convenient excuse to get out of the last two debates, and possibly get sympathy votes. No way someone his age and in his physical condition, would just have “mild symptoms.”

    3. My God, my biggest concern is that people will vote for him because they feel sorry for him 😒.
      Let’s NOT forget his total disregard for the health of American people. The President indifference towards the loss of life in America.

    4. Do not believe it. The ONLY way id believe it is if he died. I think its nothing more than his political stunt from his team to stop trump from talking. TRUMP will not agree to new rules from the debate so his team came up with another alternative. DO NOT BELIEVE IT!

    1. @Phoebe Anderson It is all Trump’s fault he personally killed 205,000 people? You do know less than 10,000 actually died from just having this virus. Whatever the case it doesn’t really matter. But you better be accurate on your raping 20 women stat, you don’t want to bear false witness.

    2. @Bipolar Mind Droppings God is real my friend and Jesus is the only path to heaven, sorry to break the news to you and we are watching bible prophecy unfold with detail laser pinpoint accuracy.

    3. If that were the case all the people from CNN MSNBC ABC CBS and the whole DEMOCRATIC party would be dead! And probably half of the REPUBLICAN establishment….

  3. So is Trump a premeditated MURDERER if others around him die? (Remember what he told Bob Woodward in March? He knew alright.)

    1. @Corey Mondello Really? Not wearing a stupid mask you should be charged with murder? Your insane.

    1. @Gog Mclaine
      HOPEFULLY he has a long term respiratory problems and is on supplemental oxygen with a nasal cannula up his nostrils as he watches his bigly loss in November.

    2. Haven’t heard anything about Hope Hicks for a long time.
      Suddenly, Hope, Trump and Melania are all sick at the same time.
      I dunno…
      But it makes you wonder.

    1. @The Facts matter …..My condolences on your SEVERE BRAIN INJURY…..I just hope your boyfriend is the UNDERSTANDING TYPE….:)

    2. @Mary Lou Irick Please pass this message to the leader at the WH who doesnt know one single word from the Bible let alone know how to hold the Bible right side up. For the rest of us, I think we know where our morals are— Bible or no Bible.

    1. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
      ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999

    2. The arrogance and hubris of the Chump family, Rudy, and Chump’s cronies is sickening. There they all sit pretending to be the “cat’s meow”, after being asked to wear masks …. and obviously they refused and ignored the safety of others. Yet we see others behind them with masks on and complying with the rules. They need to refuse these Chump family and idiots entrance to anything until they comply with mask wearing just like everyone else.

    3. @Corey Ham the “law and order” president who refuses to abide by the most basic rule. 1. Do no harm.

  4. Joe’s wife wisely wore her mask throughout this event I noticed, as did the young woman with her. I think Joe would have worn his as well had wearing one not made it a little more difficult for him to be heard.

    1. Said the Obama administration with h1 n1 but they said stop all testing!! Sleepy Joe is just an American icon! He’s done great things in his 47 years in public service! Can any one name one??

    2. The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
      The “genius” who hides his college grades.
      The “self-made man” who tax dodged a $413M “gift” from daddy’s real estate empire.
      The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 yrs.
      The “playboy” who pays for $ех.
      The “Christian”, twice-divorced philanderer, who never asks God for forgiveness.
      The “man of the Bible” who declined to name even one of his favorite Bible verses.
      The “gentleman and champion for all women” who ordered his golf club managers to fire every woman who was not young enough and attractive enough.
      The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
      The “patriot” who dodged the draft; family tradition: grandfather was kicked out of Bavaria for draft-dodging, father bribed a doctor tenant to exempt Donald from military service.
      The “paragon of honesty” whose new immigration rules would have kept his and his senior anti-immigration adviser Stephen Miller’s grandparents out.
      The “steadfast defender of our nation’s borders” who married an alleged undocumented immigrant and illegal worker who sponsored her parents into the country by “chain migration”.
      The “staunch Republican” who donated to Democrats at all gov’t levels: Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry, Anthony Weiner, Harry Reid, Andrew Cuomo, Terry McAuliffe, Eliot Spitzer.
      The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.
      The “President” who takes no responsibility.
      The “tough, strong man“ who wears makeup and hairspray but never a mask.
      The “deal maker” who has yet to close a deal.

      If America reelects this guy, it deserves the dystopian future that follows.

    1. He should have. Too late now. I wouldn’t bother engaging in another “debate”. Lincoln /Douglas are rolling in their graves.

    2. @Virginia O’Flaherty Lol! Or they may decide to rise from their graves and do a little “Christmas Carol” visit to the White House.

    3. The GOP is already getting a Yellow Dyed Hair Weave, and GIANT RED TIE for Chris Christie and have him stand in for Bunker Boy at the debates….They are both the SAME SIZE, so you won’t know the difference…

  5. Trump acting like that in Cleveland is unforgiveable.🤬 His supporters are the same way. They’re toxic every way imaginable.

    1. @Bra-Ball Legend absolutely! & you know the irony, sunlight does help to some extent, in particular due to it’s vitamin d effect, but despite him being orange, he likely has no vitamin d, I mean the orange is either fake tan or it’s tanning lamps, that are of a uv wavelenght that has no vitamin d at all :))

    2. @Lilac Lizard well, according to Trump, the sunshine needs to be on the inside. So a powerful UV light suppository is in order.

    1. well it kinda is turning a corner really isn’t it. To suddenly have a situation where half the government’s infected, that’s a pretty big corner turn! I mean the opposite direction to where he was probably implying with his corner turning, but still a pretty big corner turn!
