    1. 200,000 is an OPTIMISTIC approximation if everyone practices social distancing. It may be MUCH HIGHER, 500K to 1 Million. Trump is akin to a “Fish Out of the Water” in this pandemic. Yes folks, the 2016 Election has consequences – YOUR LIFE.

    2. As long as he got massive benefits from recovery package. As long as he can use this to distract from other corrupt self-serving actions. And joe please stop blustering monologue from your perch. It’s what every creepy guy does when he captures an audience. You’re so much better than that.

    3. @Thomas Armsworthy Jr I like the way you put peoples health at the bottom of your list.So what do you propose.Should we nuke em?

    1. @truerealityscott That strategy doesn’t work for DJT so why do you think it might work for you?

    2. Really? Do you remember the press asking President Obama if he was responsible for the deaths of Americans during H1N1 or would that have been a stupid attack question to him? But a reasonable question to Trump? “Are you responsible for the Coronavirus Mr. President?” “No? You say you aren’t? That’s poor leadership!”

    3. @TheAes86 Funny, I don’t remember Obama getting rid of the pandemic response team, turning down testing kits, or lying about H1N1 being the flu…

  1. “One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.” –Arnold Glasow

    1. @bob You are 1/2 correct, the Unions did great things for workers early in the industrialization of this country. I have been in the UAW, all they did for me and others was keep bilking money from our checks and kept people on the job that should have been let go many times. Just look at what they have done to GM, held them hostage when the company was doing great, This is why GM had to move jobs out the U.S.A to stay competitive with Honda and Toyota that are NON Union shops.
      But we are all at fault because we have gotten use to cheap crap from china , we put up with buying stuff that works for a year or less and in the trash it goes and we buy it again. If we learn anything from this mess , it is to bring the products home. But we will go back to the cheap crap and put up with it.

  2. I must say if dr, fauci is being threatened by nuts it is vital that these people are tracked down and charged , this man is probably the most important person in America at the moment.

    1. He’s like the MVP who had the worst performance when it really mattered. America could have stopped the spread of virus had he acted sooner.

    2. @Arun George Using a twisted sports metaphor for a man who has been thrown into the Lion’s Den? Sad.

    1. And the people who watch it, and the people who got conned by Trump and voted for him. Or unfortunately, weren’t conned and knew exactly who and what they were voting for.

  3. The Soilders are Doctors and Nurses. Trump isn’t giving these medical soldiers what they need to defeat TrumpVirus-19.

    1. @Michael Paysour Really, another video. Pal I could post videos galore on CNN, msnbc, ABC, NBC, CBS, wash post, NY times, being debunked in one lie after another. But there is not enough room on earth for 4yrs of activist projecting hate. Good day.

    2. @Dave Salimeno Do you think we are stupid. Trump drained the swamp and that included the entire Biodefense Infrastructure. Lack of testing was the single biggest blunder of the last 100 years.

      Trump declared infront of a packed house of enthusiastic idiots that due to his great leadership no Americans have died. The next day Americans started dying.
      A few days later Trump had another rally. Once again he proclaimed due to his great leadership America only had 15 cases and it is going down. The next week there were thousands infected.

      Russian interference was not a hoax!
      Trump’s connection to Putin is not a hoax!
      Trump obstruction of justice was not a hoax!
      Ukraine and Trump’s effort to gain political favor was not a hoax.
      This virus is not a hoax the only difference this time is the virus does not respond to political spin.

      This virus is not a hoax!

    1. Morticians Lives Matter!! The longer life expectancies were making mortuary science a dying business.

    2. WARNING: THESE youtube SITES ARE FAKE , youtube TAKES DOWN WHAT THEY DO NOT LIKE AND POSTS WHAT THEY DO. I’VE BEEN MONITORING THEIR PSYCH-OPPS ON THE SHEEPLE AND CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND youtube WANTS TO INFLUENCE OUR ELECTIONS

  4. look at Chris Cuomo fighting for his life against this virus let’s all pray for him to get better

    1. @Judy Corso Thanks. I truly hope he recovers quickly. As a native NYer, the Cuomo family was always a well respected one & I’m waiting for the day soon when Chris is back on the air…

    2. @On Couch Arrest – OMG you’re right I know that trumpsters are arguementative, but you’re right all they do IS name calling, as it is all they have, and also it’s what Trump does as well, especially on Twitter etc.,… good point…

  5. Joe, This was planned, Trump is still spreading ALTERNATIVE FACTS. and not 1 person standing up and calling BS

    1. he rules with lies and chaos to remain in power. the corporate world is in on this selling to the highest bider our ppe. this is his hope to remain in power by marshal law and no elections. he doesn’t care if rules a dead country ,poverty stricken and disease ridden, as long as he rules.

    2. Is it true that lobbyists are encouraging prez not to take a national approach? What would they have to gain by that?

    1. It’s seriously disturbing that there’s anybody left to defend a President who’s leading the country into a genocide.

    2. Belinda most disappointingly they are mostly Christians and Jesus would not agree for anything Trump stands for. Not all of them but most right wing ones. Very disappointing.

  6. Everyone with no courage always bow down to the “orange bully “. America gave us Trump, America is paying the price electing a con man president 😳

    1. Trump will win again in 2020. Smart Americans get it – mainstream propaganda machine as seen here

    2. Jean GALARNEAU absolutely trump has been out there working 24/7 for the American people, Meanwhile these 2 idiots moved to Florida so they wouldn’t have to pay taxes in NY and sit there spewing lies –

    1. Virgil Parks performance among white kids is decreasing, and performance among kids of color is growing. Comparing for socioeconomic status (big word to describe how poor of a family you come from) the numbers are the same. #next.

    2. WARNING: THESE youtube SITES ARE FAKE , youtube TAKES DOWN WHAT THEY DO NOT LIKE AND POSTS WHAT THEY DO. I’VE BEEN MONITORING THEIR PSYCH-OPPS ON THE SHEEPLE AND CAN TELL YOU FIRST HAND youtube WANTS TO INFLUENCE OUR ELECTIONS

  7. Dr. Anthony Fauci is having death threats just for saving lives in the coronavirus pandemic. Scary.

    1. Marcos Juarez…Praying for protection against all hurt harm and danger, God Bless Dr. Fauci 🙏🏽

    2. The truth makes their godchild trump look stupid. They aren’t having any of that. Protect the godchild at all costs. All hail the godchild.

    3. The 1% wanted the GOP to cut entitlements. Killing nursing patients who are on Medicaid, and infecting their visitors who are on Medicare, SSI, SSDI, or VA pensions then kills them and the Entitlement accounts are in balance.

  8. I own a small business. I rented a nice building that is over 100 years old. It’s great, but for about a year and a half I kept having leaks from the roof. The land lords kept doing patch job after patch job until they decided to strip off and replace the roof all together. The owner told me “I wasted more money and caused more damage with each patch job. I should’ve just replaced the entire roof from the beginning.”

    That is what doing “Patch Jobs” will do for you. You need to tackle the problem head on. Unfortunately we have a President who had no balls for this job. He wants all the reward while taking no risk.

    1. Trainer RED trouble is, one difference is that once the guy fixed it that was the end … even if not patched this will endure for w while

    1. @Mary Foust The only way I know to stop a bully, Trump with a bloody nose?
      Trump with a pie in the face ? Trump bad juju for America.

  9. General Bone-spear is fighting this war the same why he did for US in Vietnam. Hiding and blaming others!

    1. The 1% wanted the GOP to cut entitlements. Killing nursing patients who are on Medicaid, and infecting their visitors who are on Medicare, SSI, SSDI, or VA pensions then kills them and the Entitlement accounts are in balance.

  10. “I alone can fix it”…remember that one? So…TRUMP speaking from the rose garden, was asked about the slow and mishandled response to the Coronavirus crisis, he said, “No I don’t take responsibility at all,” and “It’s not his fault,” He’s also said in the past, “…No, the buck doesn’t stop with him.” And we would assume he’s also “Not a fan,” Our top executive in the WH, wants all the credit, but won’t take responsibility for anything…EVER! Yeah…That’s what you want in a leader. What about this one he uttered a couple of days ago at the briefing- “I understand things better than anybody”, “I like this stuff, I really get it.” TRUMP’S failing …“bigly.” He has no leadership abilities, and he’s an embarrassment to the U.S…“Frankly he’s a disgrace.” Tired of winning yet?

    1. My all time favorite was when Chump went to England He tweeted to the whole world how incredibly stupid he is when he tweeted that he had met with
      ” The Prince of Whales
      This true !! I had a near death experience because I laughed so hard
