    1. ….obama, biden, hunter biden, comey, hillary, and clapper
      all live rent free in prison together talking about orange man bad
      …..Facts are Facts. lazy liberals do not
      like facts. Fake news hates facts. you are a mushroom 🍄 kept in the dark and fed bs by the fake news msDNC. Next time do your homework.
      Nobody can debunk this video…..the pandemic is a hoax to destroy our economy. the
      reason why fake news continues the hoax is to get biden elected. Hunter Biden
      got paid $1.5 Billion Dollars from China to take over the usa. Why do you want
      China to invade, enslave, and eventually exterminate the people of this country??

    2. I like presidents who don’t spend their time putting on makeup and high heels, watching TV, playing golf, tweeting, and launching the re-election campaign they launched in 2017.

    3. @Walter White Nobody? I’m a 61 year old housekeeper and found over 20 lies in that the first time I watched it, over a month ago. Anybody who watches that garbage and agrees with it needs to follow their cult off the edge and bring up the overall IQ rating of America. That includes you Walter, go ahead, breath deeply now, it maybe your last chance to do so…

  1. *In Trump’s Moronavirus mind, those who wear masks . . . do it for the sole and only reason that they dislike him. There are no limits to how narcissistic and paranoid POTUS 45 is.*

    1. @Reverend RunBad I can never hear idiots with masks on. The CDC already said it was a Hoax and wearing a mask all the time WILL GET YOU SICK! Quit be so lazy and research stuff for yourself! Bill Gates gave them 50 Million..

    2. @Reverend RunBad I know. To me that is one of the most ridiculous political statements that I ever heard.
      Is he that delusional that every person in Asia, medical professoonals in the whole world, europeans, americans that try to protect themselves and society, do this because they are anti- Trump? What a clown.

    3. @Squirrel Hunter You think that surgeons and their nurses are sick all the time?
      People working in a clean room are sick all the time?
      What kind of sickness do they get?
      I know it can be uncomfortable at first mut not more than covering your face with a scarf in winter or the dust masks that many construction workers wear.

    4. @Squirrel Hunter This is funny. I am a scientist. Medical Biology. Got my phD in Medical Science. I am not a virologist epidemiologist or medical doctor but during training and education I came across a lot of these subjects.

  2. Trump Doesn’t Care About ANYONE dying.. Notice the Waver he had People Sign in OKLAHOMA….. Such A Loser

    1. @Jonathan Hughes Here is a list.
      https://www.good.is/articles/obamas-achievements-in-office
      Look at point one and two.
      Thanks to republicans you got that banking crisis and Obama had to clean up the mess.
      Healthcare, very important to have a healthy population and to get that, affordable healthcare is needed.
      So, this selective thinking to not acknowledge achievements leads to extreme thinking.
      Tell me, what did Trump achieve up til now that was beneficial for most Americans and for the world?

    2. @Jonathan Hughes Trump wants his people indoors, without masks and close to each other while cheering him on. Why do people have to sign a waiver, if it is save to organize a rally in this way?
      Personally I am not an infectious disease expert, but with the knowledge accumulated in the last months, I think that going outside in a sensible way is probably low risk as long as you do keep your distance from each other. No handshaking no kissing of hugging every friend you meet.
      Besides that: for control of an infectious disease, the situation during a Trump rally is high risk for virus infection. This risk is not higher or lower due to the protests. Not smart to hold a rally for some cheering and buying/selling merchandise.

    3. @Hanny Hawkins–That’s why sunlight produces Vitamin D-3 and is renown for being the great disinfectant.

  3. Nikita Khrushchev said, “We will take America without firing a shot. We do not have to invade the U.S. We will destroy you from within….”

    1. Yes he did and they have patience. Look what they have done. now that we know that impeached trumpee knew about the emails in advance,asked china for help with this election and ukraine story the election commission should declare 2016 null and void as if the election never happened.

    1. @John Rambo Maybe you check out how nature comes out with novel virus strain allvthe time. The fast majority is nor dangerous but once in a while it happens (HIV, Ebola, SARS, MERS, Covid-19, maybe Zika).
      Politics have nothing tocdo with it.

  4. Good luck getting cult 45 to listen to an intellectual Black man. If they did, they would have healthcare 🤷🏾‍♂️

    1. @Okkie Trooy Sorry. You are dealing with what Trump refers to as “the under educated”. He loves them, of course. They mindlessly swallow and parrot every stupid thing he says and does.

      Obama and Hillary have been gone for four years now and have no active role, but Trumpturds, as we fondly call them, use them as their favorite “go-to’s”… Whataboutisms. It’s their default setting when they have nothing else to fall back on in discussions. Sad, isn’t it?

    2. @I. M. 😄 Nero and Caligula were in Rome far away from the Netherlands (which for a large part under water). guy We had some pretty decent kings over the years but I don’t know about all the small stuff. For a long time we were not really a country but a collection of castles thatvruled the environment. I am pretty sure that the farmers living under the protection of these earls and dukes did not have a nice life. And currently we have a Trump wannabee as leader of one of the larger political parties. Very similar views as Trump and he even looks similar.

    3. @R. McBride Yes it is sad. Because they are the ones that keep talking about: think independent. Totally forgetting that I am independent from american politics. If I had been born as amerucan, I probably would have been a democrat. But now, I do not care of americans choose democrat or republican. It is their country. Since we are supposed to be allies and because the influence the USA has on global scale, I do prefer that the USA has not a nutcase as president. Too dangerous.
      I also have several american friends (I have lived in the US for 5 years) and want for them a decent life in a well governed country.
      That is why I don’t like Trump. A nutcase that is unable to govern.

    1. @Bruce’s Bash
      *Pandemic* noun
      pan·​dem·​ic | pan-ˈde-mik

      : an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population : a pandemic outbreak of a disease

    2. @Bruce’s Bash Nonsense, at first somewhat uncomfortable, needs some getting use to. The gas Oxygen however can pass the mask unimpeded).
      And fortunately that is the case, otherwise a lot of medical procedures could not take place or have to be interrupted several times, due to lack of oxygen of medical personell.

  5. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I’m not sure about the universe.” 
    ― Albert Einstein

    1. Trump’s words and behavior are really quite consistent.

      As far as confronting problems, he sees himself as a great, if not the world’s greatest, “counter-puncher.“. He will hit you 10 times harden than you hit him.

      He does know how to “counter-punch” pretty good, but he’s got a “glass jaw.” He’s good at striking out, at belittling, but if you get him good, he’s like Scott Farkus or his toady, Grover Dill. They really get walloped, and they cry to tell their mother. Or their “base”.

      So, COVID-19 struck the country hard. Trump’s predilection is not to hunker down, but to somehow directly bully the virus into submission.

      Maybe that’s by denying the existence of the threat. And so, he wears no mask. Maybe he thinks by insulting the virus by calling it “Kung Flu” or Chy-navirus” that it will go away in humiliation.

      COVID-19, like Honey Badger, don’t care.

      The virus is not a problem for a Superman like him. And if you support and believe in him, you will be under the protection of his tent. Wonderful magical thinking.

      He also decided that he knows more than the doctors.

      We just need to let the virus “burn through” the population, as he asked Dr. Fauci about earlier. Dr. Fauci told him 2 million might die. Trump’s response was-we’ll wait a few weeks, and by Easter, it will go away.

      Well, with his impatience and belief in his intellectual superiority, he kneecapped Fauci and took over the briefings.

      He is going to let the virus “burn through” the country. He doesn’t have enough patience to do otherwise. The pain for the nation allows for his counterpunch- the end of the virus.

      If he gets hurt, everybody gets hurt worse.
      If the economy isn’t improving punish America. Insult the virus. Ignore the virus.

      Maybe it worked with his ex-wives. I don’t know.

      And all the lies? He has never thought of them as lies. He merely gives the people what they want, right now. Or maybe giving himself what he wants, right now.

      Trump need not fear for a job. So long as Isuzu goes through with plans to return to America, he will serve as the new Joe Isuzu.

      Joe doesn’t lie. He just tells you what he thinks you want to hear. That’s our Trump!

  6. My heart breaks for you Americans, your country is being mismanaged and you are ruled by a dangerous mad man. I don’t like my government (Boris is a total wanker) but at least they have taken it seriously and have tried their hardest to protect us. There is no protection from your president only threats when people stand up for their rights.

    1. So you think the government are wankers yet they tried their hardest to protect us. I take it you’re youngish and spit your dummy out when you don’t get your own way. Boris is not a w*nker. Now get back to the beach.

    2. Also, given Trump’s long expertise with bankruptcy, the priorities made manifest by the CARES Act will surely bankrupt the nation. Three trillion to the same casino capitalists who crashed the economy in 2008-2009… this time they’ve been rewarded with an even greater embarrassment of riches while the unemployment rate skyrockets. Oh, and then there’s the racial animosity that sits like an open wound… it’s plausible that the karma of five decades of wars of aggression is returning as blow-back. Hopefully, after the ashes, a new American Phoenix will emerge… one with life-affirming values and one that lives up to its boasts of democracy, rule of law, and equality.

    3. @Nancy Ranft –He probably had a discussion with some big insurance actuaries and Libertarians who so vehemently oppose Social Security. This dark trio figured that if enough seniors die out from Covid, it solves their Social Security problem. While these same unscrupulous types have no problem granting enormous tax cuts to the rich, allocating vast sums to the world’s most ready killing machine, and giving massive subsidies to Big Energy corps, keeping Grandma off the street is morally offensive to them.

      They should all be tied to chairs in a movie house and forced to watch, “A Christmas Carol” repeatedly. Marijuana fumes can aid their absorption of all the necessary moral lessons they managed to avert for the duration of their lives.

    1. Aw man! I already lost the love for Mother’ and ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd, now this? I was just singing that this morning! Other things ruined for me by d.t., exaggeration, self eating one upmanship, and the words; beautiful, perfect, Ch-I-naH, and the term, “..and we fell in love…
      Make it stop!

    1. Jennifer Pagan, I have no idea why people are listening to that man in the WH, use your own common sense, stay at home, wear your mask if you NEED to leave the house, stay away from crowds, this is YOUR life what you do with it determines the outcome. I worked in the medical field for over thirteen years (retired) and my daughter is still working as an RN and what we are seeing is the neglect of people acting foolishly, STUPIDITY still killed. They should have never opened the country back up that soon when the virus was not controlled. People trust me, you do not want to get to the point you have to be on a ventilator, it’s horrible, God bless and take care of YOUR OWN life because those in the White House do not care about us.

    2. @A D –It’s not really that. It’s that Trump sees EVERYTHING in terms of himself. And his followers, for the most part, embrace his narrative.

  7. We can’t trust a thing that comes from the Executive branch. They are serial liars and partisan hacks.

  8. Mortality rate isn’t rising because it’s young people getting sick… only a matter of time till little tummy goes and visits with his granny in the retirement home and ends up killing a bunch of people.

    1. Just wait a couple of weeks for the “lag” to start showing & the deaths to rise. Graphs for the States that are showing a sharp rise in numbers will go through the roof. The US hasn’t flattened the curve from the initial outbreak & shows no indication that it’s going to. Such a simple ask to wear a mask and maintain social distancing will help defeat the virus 🦠 in the short term, until a vaccine arrives in mid 2021. Just look at the UK & Europe amongst other countries who have adopted the practice.

    2. You are right but the death toll is rising among young people too and even if not as many die, the rates of people needing double lung transplants or to be on oxygen perhaps, for the rest of their lives or just needing puffers etc etc. There are huge costs to this virus. Yet trump still says nothing is happening.

  9. Trump has to be removed to save lives, surely what he is doing with mis-information must be against the law. I have watched enough crime programs to know that this is negligent homicide.

    1. @hugh jorgan I think you forgot a little item called “proximity”, Dummy. Do you understand what population centers in urban areas are like (NYC) versus broad spread suburban and rural areas are like (California)? What the lifestyle differences are? No. You live in Gooberville where they still use outhouses and Montgomery Ward catalogues for TP.

    2. @SDU AFRICA Let’s not forget the slooooow response and the foot dragging on the DPA and getting the ball rolling on ventilators, PPE, testing, swabs, syringes, saline, you name it. Disgraceful.

      Btw, that cupboard wasn’t bare, Dim Bulb. Trump was sitting on 16,000 ventilators all the while he was crying and whining that Obama shorted him. The cupboards were FULL, but Trump didn’t want to hand them out because JARED told him that FEDERAL stockpiles were “theirs” and not for the states. Dandy.

      Did you also know that we are now, as tax payers, the proud owners of 63 MILLION doses of hydroxychloroquine, thanks to President Moron? And the FDA ruled that it can’t be used for anything but “on-label” prescribing. Nobody is ever going to convince me that Trump and his kids ran right out and bought shares in the stuff. Trump was shoving that crap at us like a school yard pusher.

    3. @red 5 –How about those grieving? Those left with permanent lung damage? Those who can’t cover the hospital bills?

    4. @hugh jorgan –Trump lied continuously. THAT is why he gets the blame.

      He told people there were only 15 cases that would soon go away.
      He suggested drinking Chlroax and using unproven drugs.
      He played games with state governors who needed immediate emergency aid.
      He didn’t use the War Powers to get American factories producing protective gear
      He told his flock it would be gone by Easter.
      He lies constantly!

      When people can’t trust their own govt. leaders, it’s very confusing which is lethal during a deadly pandemic.

      The list i provide is skeletal. Trump did many other things to undermine progress with this pandemic. All he cares about are Wall St numbers so that the illusion of a strong economy is in place to help his re-election chances.

      Even now, as the U.S. leads the world on the Covid body count, your imbecile of a president seriously encourages his rally attendees NOT to wear masks.

      That is criminal! Wake up!

  10. Try several UV light enemas, drink a shot of lysol and take your hydrochloriquin pills..it worked for your god, Trump. If anything,
    you will develop a beautiful orange glow on your skin!

  11. Apparently “pro life” right-wingnuts couldn’t care less about your life when it’s inconvenient for them to do so.

    1. Yup. They only care about abortion of the unborn – ONLY the unborn. As soon as Baby Unborn sucks it’s first breath of fresh American air, all bets are off. Then they hate the crap out of them, especially if they are non-white, about to be fed and housed by social programs, educated on public funds, etc. Then, they hope they die.

  12. trump lines

    jan 20: “I know more about viruses than anyone.”

     

    Jan 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one
    person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”

     

    Feb 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from
    China.”

     

    Feb 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in
    the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”

     

    Feb 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job
    of handling Coronavirus.”

     

    Feb 25: “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go
    away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a
    vaccine.”

     

    Feb 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days
    is going to be down to close to zero.”

     

    Feb 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”

     

    Feb 28: “We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering
    a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was
    something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of
    medical.”

     

    Mar 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129
    cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as
    possible!”

     

     Mar 6: “I like
    this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it …
    Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I
    have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for
    president.” 

     

    Mar 6: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because
    of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”…

  13. Protecting statues of dead confederate generals is of more concern to Trump than living Americans.

    1. #45 occupies a seat stolen from the people. And the people, us, aren’t his people.
      And we’re All vectors of #Civid19 … #hunkerDown

    2. Travis Kearney Until its U – then U might end up in a FULL Hospital – they cant take u – being denied. Hope Not 4 yer sake.
