    1. @Marilyn Clarke yeah, no other person can elicit laughing crying reactions better that this ( unexplainably ) not committed creature.

    1. @Anne Rodgers Actually, It’s the same look that the *famous Captain Cook* had in *ancient Hawaii* just before being *clubbed like a baby seal* and *cooked* & *eaten* like a *Hawaiian* wildboar *happy meal* over our real authentic *volcanic* grill. 🌋🍖😋

      True story…. 👍

  1. Never in my life time and I’m 72, seen anything like the thing that is sitting in the oval office is the biggest coward on the planet. Rather than run the country, he is ruining America.

    1. Malian Beaver, you can’t cure stupid, or apparently bigotry, don’t waste your breath. Trump have permission to hate, and facts, statistics or reason never told that. Republicans have used that since the Nixon era blame the poor for the greed of the rich. 83% of the tax breaks went to the top 1%, and last year’s tax revenue showed a decrease in corporate revenues, and an increase in middle class taxes, but morons continue to vote Republican because it feeds their hate. They prefer kicking those who cannot fight back as they cower before the people who Rob them.

    2. John DiGiacomo Blah blah blah blah blah I hope you crying snowflakes get over your trump derangement syndrome over the next term of our great President

    3. rm builders, my point exactly blah, blah, blah are called facts and figures to reasonable people, therefore your attitude is “don’t confuse me with the facts, my mind’s made up” you’re a bigoted moron, and while NY is getting over the worst of the pandemic, the rest of the country, particularly the open churches will really find out what it’s about. That’s when facts will start to matter.

    4. @John DiGiacomo Then maybe trump was right when he said his father was born in Germany, once a nazi always one.

    5. Mr. Woodman, we know his father was associated with the KKK, and I know for a fact the Nazi Bundt was in Yaphank on Long Island. He didn’t have to be born in Germany, in the thirties, we had our own right here, and apparently still do.

    1. What is DAY1 US HISTORY CLASS for $2000 Alec? Final answer. WHENEVA.
      The king said ENEMIES. 2/24/17.

      SOME SOLDIERS WERE INNOCENT (John Adams, lawyer). Paul Revere scribed some metal about it.
      The FakeNewZ?

    2. I didn’t envision a Red States Tour.
      On our dime.
      I’m from Boston.
      I learned freedom from Kings is priceless.

  2. Charming? How can someone find this guy charming? An incapable, self-centered pathological liar, how can you find him charming when you know whatever he is doing or saying is done or uttered just in his own interest? That’s absurd.

  3. its true the people need daily updates on the situation, what we dont need is a two hour rally and lie session. trump has zero valuable input on this and need not be present

  4. Don’t be a “cutie pie” when asked a legitimate question, definitely shows a lack of vocabulary, as well as intelligence.

    1. I’m as Progressive as they come, but it was a “gotcha” question. Of course Americans will run out of ventilators. Doctors will have to make on the spot calls as to who gets one and who doesn’t. What changes if the President asserts to that? What changes if he doesn’t? The question should be are you doing everything possible to produce and provide as many ventilators as possible?

    2. @Kern Albert the question was absolutely legitimate, if someone is claiming that he is distributed large amounts and everything is under control and he is doing a tremendous job, then he should be able to answer the question “can everyone have his ventilator ” and guess what, he couldn’t which plainly shows what a conman he is

    3. @Kern Albert – That is doubtful. Most likely there are more than enough ventilators, especially with the new ones being manufactured

    4. He holds these PEP RALLIES..IN THE BRADY ROOM..MOST FOLKS DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO HE WAS. NOR DO THEY KNOW WHY THE ROOM IS NAMED FOR HIM..

    1. he should be tried for Murder at the World Court in the Hauge….for every person who has died of Covid-19….he;s a mass murderer just like his buddy Kim Jong Un….

    2. @Nick L Look at the recent polls on peoples’ assessment of his response to COVID. Approval rating has been going down fairly steadily over last two weeks

  5. “I think we’re in great shape.” 200,000 Americans or more are gonna’ die”….but “I think we’re in great shape.” 🥴

  6. It’s a cycle narcissists go through, it’s called “ idealization, devaluation, discard”

  7. The sound of his voice is like finger nails on a chalk board. He makes me nauseous. He gives no comfort. Chump is a failure…

    1. @William Webb i change it to the local PBS channel..id rather learn something new..than be lied to AGAIN !!

    2. …and somehow he still has supporters and defenders. They have no conscience, no shame, no decency. They do not represent America, they only represent their own selfish interests.

  8. It is so sickening! every time he open his mouth he’s like a mad dog out there barking with no directions🙀

  9. Every time he says “the likes of which nobody’s seen before”, I just want to watch someone bash his face in with a metal bat.

    1. 😂😂😂 !! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it, because he is so obnoxiously toxic, the likes of which no one has never seen before !!!!!!!

  10. He’s right. No WH has ever screwed up a more serious time in our history. He’s a failure. He’s pathetic. He’s a danger to our citizens and our Country.
