    1. @Kano Reese
      I see where you get that, seeing as Trump has yet to rise to the insanity level of a “real” christian.

    2. @Jacob Apparently you have no clue what a”real”christian is if you think we’re the ones that are insane! A real Christian follows the teachings of Christ Jesus…period!

    3. Because of Christians we must now all contend with THE GOD VIRUS! Because God only promised never to drown everyone ever again.
      This wipes out everyone slowly, just as slowly rising water does.

    4. @Jacob God was here long before there were ever Christians and God didn’t cause this virus nor it’s spread! That fault lies where it always has…in man as usual!

    5. You answered you own question. Why didn’t Trump close the states?? Its because its down to other people not him!!!! So why do you keep making it out to be his fault? Why didnt the businesses send their people back home sooner? Why didn’t the governors set up travel restrictions and start the isolation? The first state, Washington, is a democratic state. So surrly its their fault according to your logic. The most infected state in New York, a democratic state, why didnt the governor do something about it sooner? So how on earth is it Trunps fault. Why do you Democrats have to make everything political. We are in this together.

    1. @RAP ~ Wow. You really lay out a well considered argument. Entertain our curiosity and identify the basis for your assertion. Otherwise, shush.

    2. Is that why the governor of NY is thanking and praising Trump, oh wait your a libturd they don’t show that on what you watch, (the sheep opinions for fools) and by fools.

    3. @D M ~ Can you at least pretend that you have a brain. The *KING TRUMP EPIDEMIC* is a serial killer. Virii don’t care about politics or TROLLS.

  1. Trump is absolutely right, the churches will be packed of people by Easter. The only problem is they are going to be in caskets. He never tell you the whole truth, the spinster maestro.

    1. @Brain Drain its facts man. our whole Nation needed to take this the most seriously of anything we ever did… our governors let us down. kids partying on beaches… people partying at home… some states wide open… air travel in the states wasnt banned???? we needed total compmete lockdown of EVERYONE & EVERYTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! IMMEDIATELY!!! GUESS WHAT IT DIDNT HAPPEN. AND ILL BE REAL THERE ARE OVER 500,000 CASES OF VIRUS !!! IN THE US !!! BELIEVE ME !!! TESTING IS HORRENDOUS. EASTER MASS EXTINCTION !!

    2. @Ellen Ghalib lol well I wont be there I’m not letting some micro organism take of this body of perfection

    3. @Ellen Ghalib You know it! You have a great appreciation of the wider situation and threat that the ‘leaders’, with their vested interest, don’t. Saying that, there’s a few Governors stepping up. Stay safe and keep spreading your knowledge

    4. And our delusional president thinks he will win in November standing on a stack of caskets bigger than his largest shoddy gaudy Trump Tower.

  2. Offing myself is something that hasn’t even crossed my mind! We’re too busy volunteering and helping our community.

    1. Well some people are considering suicide so dont take it lightly and reach out to those with mental problems the MOST

  3. The very worst president at the very worst time, people will die because of this president, innocent people.

    1. @Patricia Lucious It could take a whole church or group of conservatives to congregate on Easter Sunday which results in a significant number of fatalities to finally get the message about this despicable tyrant. I don’t know what it’ll take frankly, those who believe in him are afraid for their very lives. It goes much deeper than mere politics. The fate of our country’s in the balance, that’s not an exaggeration either.

    2. @Tim Francis if u consider that stupid is as stupid does Trump is in office to bring this kingdom down. If its true, the prophecy of Esau’s kingdom failing would fit this curse exactly. I wrote down as many reasons Esau is dying off this planet as I could think of and I needed more than two sheets of paper. Double spaced. Happening right b4 our eyes.

    3. @Patricia Lucious I thought Esau was a reference to the name of a town or county where this man came from. I’m not Christian and don’t know very many biblical references, nor do I care to find out either…peace.

  4. Well, he did keep saying in February, “this would all go away by April.” Trump insists on his reality at all costs.

    1. – There is a sign that reads ‘The only thing necessary for the Triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing! But how it should read is – The only thing necessary for Trump to continue to do evil is for the GOP to do or say nothing! Yes, I’m sure that Mr.Trump sees this coronavirus outbreak as a means to make money as he is the type of person who would raise the price of hand sanitizers because he knows more people need it now then they did before! – Here is what many people are saying to me, Trump doesn’t drink alcohol, he doesn’t smoke, doesn’t do drugs. – & I said yes, You’re right he doesn’t drink alcohol because his own brother died from being an alcoholic, which should have made Mr.Trump even more against it because he now knows what it can do to people. But Mr.Trump loves money more than people that is why he was willing to put his name on Trump Vodka – ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Vodka – which failed to sell in the USA, but later found a level of popularity in Israel. This was because it was a popular choice around Passover for both secular & Orthodox Jews, as the vodka was made from potatoes, not grain, thus satisfying kosher for Passover dietary laws, but not passing God’s spoken law, Leviticus 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations & Numbers 6:3 He shall separate himself from wine & strong drink, & shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried. & Isaiah 5: 11 – Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 22 – Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, & men of strength to mingle strong drink: – then Mr.Trump also bought up a winery in Virginia & again put his name on it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_Winery – Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: & whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. & Isaiah 28:7 But they also have erred through wine, & through strong drink are out of the way; the priest & the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. – Ephesians 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, & 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 I have the right to do anything, you say, but not everything is beneficial. I have the right to do anything, but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others. – Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. – So you see Mr.Trump is going to cause many of those weaker brothers who have trouble with alcohol to stumble, because they will say Mr.Trump is a Christian, & sells alcoholic drinks, so it must be ok to drink alcohol & end up falling back into their old ways, because their bodies can’t handle it, the way some people can. Then again because Mr.Trump loves his sweets & meat so much he most likely is still getting alcohol into his body because they have proven that to much sugar & mixing too many different foods together, causes food to ferment & become alcohol in your body that is why children act so foolishly or have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder – ADHD – it is not the sugar that causes the problem it is when the sugar turns into alcohol that causes the problem & this can continue into adulthood. Proverbs 23:1-3 When you sit down to dine with a ruler, consider carefully what is set before you & put a knife to your throat if you possess a great appetite. Do not crave his delicacies, for that food is deceptive. – At the time the Bible was written it was only Kings & rulers that had chiefs who made the kind of meat dishes & sweet food we see made everywhere today! – I saw a special on TV once where some people were acting foolishly & walking around the same as if they had been drinking alcohol just by drinking Coke which is very high in sugar which I think Mr.Trump drinks a lot of also, & why there have been times you see him slurring his words, & why his brother most likely died from alcoholism! – Yes, Mr.Trump may have a low tolerance to alcohol, just like 1st nations do! – Eating good food was what Michelle Obama was trying to set up for the children of America she said I am determined to work with folks across this country to change the way a generation of kids thinks about food & nutrition. But Mr.Trump is more interested in junk food, the thing God had shown Daniel wasn’t good for him, he most likely read Proverbs 23:1-3 – Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. So all that Junk food Mr.Trump eats is affecting his decisions just as it affected the king of Babylonia back in Daniels time & why children act foolishly who have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder! – Daniel was a vegan the king of Babylonia, Nebuchadnezzar was a big meat eater & only came back to his senses after eating grass for 7 years like an oxen Daniel 4:1-36 & guess what they sell in Health food stores now, yes, different types of grasses because they found it is good for you! Plus I know what I’m talking about as I use to be a Junk food addict & eater of animal products until God help me get set free from it after a long fast & become vegan over time!

    2. @John Plum That was a very interesting read. Thank you for taking the time to post it. What you’ve said here is something to consider. Best wishes and stay safe.

  5. I love the way he criticized the world’s most stupid President,
    I like the way he spoke truth without any hesitations
    BTW I’m from India and wish you all “Good Luck” in this deadly moment, Allah bless you all😊
    *Stay at home, Stay healthy*

    1. sarfaraz Siddiqui ******
      Thank you for your kind thoughts and blessing, and may God bless you as well, and keep you safe.

    2. I always thought aliens would bring the world together as one turns out it was a virus and Trump so yeah Trump virus I’m from Canada more scared here too but like him or not our prime minister speaks with conviction and compassion and decency spoke directly to our teens and our children in his broadcast I couldn’t be prouder I think after watching the American News I’m so grateful to be Canadian but having said that I love America I know your history probably as well as you do I’ve read and studied every president of importance your Civil War I’m just amazed at for such a young country what you’ve done and somehow Trump does not fit the history of a Great America to me I’m sorry and while I’m very Christian and believe in Jesus Christ I absolutely respect your choice of Allah as I do Muhammad Buddha the Dalai Lama God is God whatever his name

    1. Perry Walton : tRump is worst than Jim Jones , the people JIM JONES killed , they died quick , now this CHEMICAL OF MASS DESTRUCTIONS is a slow death that’s why COVID 19 is an INHUMAN way to DECIMATED the OVER—POPULATION, they talked about a few years back . They stop talking about it , to make the population forgets that , while they were preparing to decimates , with CHEMICALS OF MASS DESTRUCTIONS.

    1. @D M well, if memory serves me correct, he was the british prime minister during ww2. a very staunch diplomat who was known for his big cigars and stature, as well as his wisdom and his quotes.

  6. Yes, “the good news is that the president isn’t in charge.” No truer words have been uttered.
