      Americans on average are far more gullible than Europeans for example. They’re less worldly, less humble. And we also have the jesus freaks in the bible belt who will believe ANYTHING. That’s Trump’s strongest base, even though Trump is 100% antithetical to what they supposedly value.

    2. @seattleite Up north right next to New York’s plague and it’s hundreds of deaths sits Maine with Zero deaths, few cases. Rhode Island zero deaths, few cases. New Hampshire with 1 death, few cases. I suspect the virus is running rampant through the drug addict communities. Good luck to them as the country moves on.

    3. @Bobby Harper you see, cities have this thing called density. It’s why Madrid and Rome also have it really bad. Alabama and Mississippi aren’t even trying to contain it.

      JUST…. WAIT.

    1. Trump is going to fire him is my prediction. He’ll find some MD who donated big to his campaign and prop them up there to spout dangerous lies.

    1. @Robin Lillian
      The Holy Rollers prefer Close Encounters of the Coronavirus Kind next to Devil’s Tower, Wyoming, to test their faith.

    1. Yes, since from the moment he was given the Republican nomination, because, some persons immediately then began to hang their future actions on the projections of this man. There was no vetting, something went terribly wrong to bring this to be, the outcropping of corruption that wants to profit from power exchanges.

    2. YEA AND ITS CALLED CHINA. WHO WERE WARNED AFTER THE SARS OUTBREAK TO STOP DOING WHAT THEY ARE DOING. REMEMBER THAT.

    3. @Billyshead133 It’s a rough tackle. The way they set up their “wet markets” and the treatment of the animals sold in them has become most suspect for the origins of these novel viruses. Those people are rooted in resource consumption many generations old. Their traditions are no where near as careful toward animal handling as western cultures.
      By the same token, this is no reason to resort to calling this virus a “China” virus. When the Spanish flu worked it’s way as a killer in 1918, it was a comparatively benign thing to refer it to the “Spanish” flu, there was no stigma intended. The attitude of the current president to establish designation as the “China” virus is a blatant and veiled insult their culture which he regards as inferior. With the speed and intensity of modern communication, it is a propaganda tool that had no similarity in years past. This is an evolution of our political processes in a competitive world and has become another danger in the world community.

  1. Trump and Pence said that everyone would be able to get a test, another lie, it’s time to lock them two clowns up.

  2. He’s using Christian sensibilities around Easter to take the heat off himself for mishandling the pandemic. This is shameful, and dangerous.

    1. @Jim Carlson Its my right in AMERICA to have my opinion. Just like it’s yours to have your opinion. I won’t change your mind and you won’t change my mind. You chose to use HATE SPEACH and that shows your character! I’m sure your a very lonely person. I’ll pray for pease and love in your life!!!!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😇

    2. False hope v reality, my money is on the bug.  Yep lets see that “Faith”  fill those churches bring the grandparents and kids, also the sick so they can be prayer healed and lay on hands.  A real opportunity to Put up or Shut up about faith and magical healing spells.  Just saying

    3. @VideoAudioDisco09 There is hope, common sense and then their is STUPIDITY. No one wants anyone to be sick or die. Common sense and social distancing is needed. Faith is about hope. I’m Eastern Orthodox Christian and I refuse to take communion off the same spoon as everyone else. Not because I don’t have faith but because I refuse to lick after a stranger. My own personal choice. Christians have choice it’s not BLIND faith. Its personal faith and choice about how much or how little you choose to partake in your religion.

    1. He knows he lied. He knows he’s using this to push his xenophobia and racism. He’s using this to punish blue states.

    2. Are you kidding! I don’t think you could do a better job!!!! You must be prestigious!!!! You can’t accept that some people are great leaders.

    1. @Linda Scott if you watch and listen to his supporters at his rallies you’ll see the sheer ignorance that they have and you’ll see what I mean..

    2. @Johan Leplat I agree. His minions blindly follow him. They viciously attack anyone not buying the B.S Trump is selling.

    3. @Linda Scott You said what I was thinking Linda. Only I happen to believe not many of those who listen to him will be alive.

  3. Reporter: “Why pick Easter?”

    Trumpster: “It’s a beautiful time to pander to my evangelical base. Gotta get those votes.”

    1. @K K — he said he wants the churches packed. He announced it as the beginning of America “being open for business.” You picked out the tiniest fraction of what was said and totally missed the actual context.

      He wants the market and unemployment numbers to improve. he wants the economy back on track no matter who gets sick or dies. All so he can get reelected.

      That rebirth is the rebirth of the economy. Trump doesn’t feel anything for anyone. He just wants the “numbers” to look good (you know…the same numbers when he didn’t want that ship to dock because it would make his numbers look bad…..forget the human lives involved). He sees the current measures to prevent the spread of the virus as hurting his campaign.

      You’re missing the big picture here. What was that about bias and being blinded?

    2. @K K — so you express doubt that I’m a Christian, then you take the tactic of lobbing insults simply because you disagree with me. How very loving. i can only assume you want to be insulted in return in light of Jesus’s teaching to treat others as you want to be treated.

      Please explain to me how it is sheltering in place to be in a packed church?

      Or did you not know he said that?

      Please explain how it is sheltering in place when he said on TV that he wants America to be open for business? He said he wants people to go back to work. He said we can “clear large portions of the country” for the restrictions to be lifted.

      I’m not making this up. I saw the interview in full about Easter starting the lifting of restrictions. I saw his press conferences where he said he wants to go back to business as usual.

      NOT sheltering in place.

      Don’t call me names when it appears you are wholly uninformed about what Trumpster actually said.

      And if you are incapable of communicating without insults then this discussion is over. I’m not going to take abuse from anyone. Especially some stranger who doesn’t seem to be on top of current events.

      https://nypost.com/2020/03/24/trump-wants-america-opened-up-and-raring-to-go-by-easter/

      Please show me where I am being biased in ANY way. I’m simply stating things that can be verified on video and news outlets.

    3. @K K — if you are accusing me of lying, you better be able to back that up. You need to quote where I supposedly lied and demonstrate why it is not only false, but that I knew it was false and deliberately told an untruth.

      I sincerely doubt you’ll take the high road and apologize for your unsupported accusations and slurs.

    1. Noticed how only Democrat States are being attacked by the virus??? No relief or help being supplied to those states from the Government either…

    1. @Ian McGarrett What is “lots of people will die” in terms of percentages and numbers?

      What do you think the current mirtality rate for the corona virus is? Say 100 people get it, how many of those do u think die?

    2. Wow these comments are really sick. Especially during a time like this. wow, shocking and confusing. One question are you all Americans, and do you live in America? I understand different parties but Why do you -hate-America and it’s voted leader? I pray for America and the rest of the world, especially during these unprecedented times.

    3. @Mario If you are asking me – I live in the USA. I am a research scientist. I am atheist, but hold Pope Francis in very high regard because he seems to practice what he preaches (no pun intended). I am a republican, but vote as an independent. Prior to Trump, I would vote for whomever I considered to be the best candidates. I do not hate America. I hate corruption and everyone who engages in it, regardless of who that person is. I do not like people who are willfully ignorant. I do not know everything and I like to learn other people’s opinions. Using your example of Trump, yes, he holds the position of president. He has done one or two positive things. But other than that/those, he is not a leader in any positive sense of the word and has already caused immense damage to the USA (financially, environmentally, morally, etc.). Having the USA rally around a president who has zero grasp on reality would not end well. Look at the video of Trump talking and look at the expression on the faces of the doctors standing next to him. Any additional examples are not necessary.
      To ask you a question: Do you respect a person based on their actions or their title?
      Hope won’t get the world through this crisis. Knowledge will. Ideally, countries will learn to work together during this situation so they will be better prepared for the next, which could be far worse.
      Be safe.

  4. I would love to hear trump explain the “other reasons” that Easter is important. lol, wouldn’t that be a hoot! This is one of the stupidest people alive!

    1. @Jamie-Lynn Murray Don’t you have children to go eat, you old witch?

      Is “wake up” all you have to say? Do you know what happens when an economy collapses and there’s a 30% unemployment rate?

    2. @Jamie-Lynn Murray No facts or logic, just fear and emotions. It’s a great thing that you’re not tasked with leading or making any meaningful decisions.

    3. @PermanentHigh Plenty of facts & plenty of logic. Now, go run along & harrass another person with your acerbic frenetic energy. Goodbye 💗

    1. @rrickarr ******
      Well, he at least knows there are decorated eggs and bunnies involved, thanks to the annual White House Easter egg hunt.

    2. I agree! I actually gagged when I heard him say that. The only way that’s the truth is if it’s the anniversary of his first million or first p***y grabbed.

  5. Sounds like a scene from the first Jaws Movie…
    “can’t we open the beaches, I’m sure the shark must have gone by now “😬

  6. Trump is just like “Mayor Vaughan”, in the movie “Jaws”: “I want those beaches open for the Holiday!!!”

    1. @Teacher / Fighter Yeh, the problem is the perverts in Hollywood DONT follow history. They follow the Jewish and blacks must be victims ideology and then distort facts to push their weirdo values.
