  1. Trump infamously doesn’t read. What good would the perfect plan be in the hands of president who wouldn’t even take the time to read it?

    1. Bone Spurs picked up the play book ,with a hand full of colouring sharpies , but
      no pictures——so out with it .

    2. Trump is removing everything Obama had in place, Trump despises Obama. Looks like racism is the only answer, it goes deep.

    3. Either you get to him and tell him directly: only the favoured few can do that: or else you get a spot on Fox News and he’ll watch that. Either way you have to go through several layers of courtiers or censors.

      Tracey Ullman has a sketch of Angela Merkel using a young aide to get through to Trump by Skype.

    4. Obama’s administration were super tricky. They put the plan in a binder on a bookshelf. And in big letters put EMERGENCY PANDEMIC PLAN PLAYBOOK on the spine. Then they sneakily they left a whole team of experts hired especially to deal with emergence of new infectious diseases. Obviously they were determined to destroy Trump.

  2. Trump and his supporters know they can lie and their lies reach numerous people. They also know their corrections or walk backs reach a fraction of those same people. The damage of those lies has already been done when the lie was initially told.

    1. @Marcia Wilso Follow the facts, state the truth, Donald J Trump is the number 1 liar ever, I know politicians stretch the truth before, this is a whole new level, this president really lies that could be easily fact check if one doesn’t beleive the lies, it’s his supporters he’s lying too, in the end, more anger will be released as his supporters realize he really does lie constantly.

    2. @Annnora C everything you accused Trump of!!!! The Democrats have already done!! Starting with Gross surveillance wiretapping on Flynn. Which should of never have happened. The biased corrupt Mueller’s investigation. Schiff Brennan Clapper Comey and all of Obama’s administration should answer questions???

    3. @Marcia Wilso That’s a lie, typical Trump supporter. He also con, even if these people are indicted, the truthful people will follow the facts, Bill Barr is sure busy fixing it, too many transparency people in law, no one is above the law. Hopefully the truth will not be above the law as he’s a liar, he has been obsessed with Obama forever, maybe because Obama’s really worked for the people, Donald J Trump is not, too much lies.

    4. @Annnora C now that’s funny! Obama worked hard for the people. You people can’t see the truth ever

    1. And as so do those Republicans that has their hands in the cookie jar, enabling him n not holding trump accountable.

    2. @snoop alert and what do you think Lumpy Trump will do even better.. a tax, if you think he’s for the majority of us, where have you been hiding.

    3. These idiots left the Playbook there but they didn’t tell nobody. I don’t believe that Donald Trump ever got the right information. I believe that John Bolton set him up to fail. Just because you leave a you should have the braids enough you tell them about it don’t be stupid just leave it there

    1. The Republicans in government and COVID 19 the PERFECT STORM.80000 deaths and climbing.trump and HIS CRIME FAMILY will not loose money. I bet the weasel will make out very well.

    1. @D J yeah, well, good luck with that. Remember Trump LOST THE VOTE in 2016! Not ‘the popular vote” – THE DAMNED MAJORITY VOTE. HE LOST. So much for voting in the US.

    2. @Jan Hall the electoral collage vote has to go. the people need their vote to count again.

    3. Insane enough to help even idiots like yourself: Before the Obama/CCP scam: Trump was doing this: American Business
      Investment is flooding back into the United States due to the tax cuts.

      Over $450 billion dollars has already poured back into the U.S., including more than $300 billion in the first quarter of 2018.

      Retail sales have surged. Commerce Department figures from August show that retail sales increased 0.5 percent in July 2018, an increase of 6.4 percent from July 2017.

      ISM’s index of manufacturing scored its highest reading in 14 years.

      Worker productivity is the highest it has been in more than three years.

      Rolled back Obama’s burdensome Waters of the U.S. rule.

      Used the Congressional Review Act to repeal regulations more times than in history.

      Tax Cuts

      Biggest tax cuts and reforms in American history by signing the Tax Cuts and Jobs act into law

      Provided more than $5.5 trillion in gross tax cuts, nearly 60 percent of which will go to families.

      Increased the exemption for the death tax to help save Family Farms & Small Business.

      Nearly doubled the standard deduction for individuals and families.

      More than 6 million of American workers have received wage increases, bonuses, and increased benefits thanks to tax cuts.

      Established opportunity zones to spur investment in left behind communities.

    1. Kentucky needs to hope Republican state senators Robert Stivers and Damon Thayer come out of their shells to run against Mitch in the primary. I think Stivers and/or Thayer can primary out McConnell if they choose to run against him.

  3. Really Mitch? What about the pandemic team that impeached trumpee got rid of. Why are they blaming Obama adm again. The fact the ppe is moldy is not obama’s fault. It was not his job to check the equipment or pay the service contract on the ventilators.But impeached trumpee is known for not paying vendors.He has been sued over 4k lawsuits most b/c he refused tp pay . He lost of everyone of those suits. A pattern of behavior.

    1. Impeached trumpee. That is something he will never be able to change. A blot on his record that is smeared with so many other nasty stains. (Historians will be wearing HazMat suits when handling Trump’s record.)

    2. @orphan 200 – quite right – if the PPE was mouldy and the tests [for a brand new virus] were “broken, but the shelves were bare, where did trump get the 17.8 tons of PPE that he sent to China in early February? The Trump Protection League never want to answer that question.

  4. Guy talk”s sense,but its to little to late,in fact its nothing from Trump,but lies and spin.

  5. You see how fast Obama responded to the Ebola Pandemic?? Less then 5 cases??? Unbelievable😢😢😢

    1. #r p.. 😷 in a global crisis truth is essential for calm.. he lied & lies more 🤷🏼‍♀️nah sorry cant blame population size for no preparation or no National Pandemic plan thats 45s fault a complete failure

    2. @autumn rain – I don’t disagree. Trump is a terrible excuse for a leader. However, population size does matter when comparing cases and deaths.

    3. #r p
      nah population size has nothing to do with leadership 45s cases & deaths by Covid19 are a direct result of his intentional inaction he knew but he chose lies & deceit that’s the difference between other Nations cases & deaths….. and 45s

  6. Jared has already taken government funds and given it to his pals. That’s why Americans will never see a dime from them.

    1. Jared from the old Subway commercials would be a better President than Trump!
      Simba the rescue tiger would be a better President than Trump!

    1. And I’d like to add to that I am not at all impressed with rich people who give away money and set up foundations. That is money they owe in taxes anyway. They don’t get accolades for that.

    2. T Mox not always. People are varied. Not all donations are tax deductible, they are capped. By total or percentage of earnings. Now states that don’t charge taxes. Is a different story. Tax for the 1 % needs review but Bernie and Warren were right about the Bezo’s of the world. The concentration of wealth is bad short and long term.

  7. Trump acts like Obama took the doorknobs and toilet seats when he left. ‘He left nothing, the cupboards were bare’. ‘We had 50 year old planes and no ammunition’.

  8. Trump doesn’t care, won’t read or listen to those who know what they are talking about.

    1. Bad old Trump didn’t care or listen when he did this: Energy
      Presidential Memorandum to clear roadblocks to construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline.

      Presidential Memorandum declaring that the Dakota Access Pipeline serves the national interest and initiating the process to complete construction.

      Opened up the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge to energy exploration.

      Coal exports up over 60 percent in 2017.

      Rolled back the “stream protection rule” to prevent it from harming America’s coal industry.

      Cancelled Obama’s anti-coal Clean Power Plan and proposed the Affordable Clean Energy Rule as a replacement.

      Withdrew from the job-killing Paris climate agreement, which would have cost the U.S. nearly $3 trillion and led to 6.5 million fewer industrial sector jobs by 2040.

      U.S. oil production has achieved its highest level in American history

      United States is now the largest crude oil producer in the world.

      U.S. has become a net natural gas exporter for the first time in six decades.

      Action to expedite the identification and extraction of critical minerals that are vital to the nation’s security and economic prosperity.

      Took action to reform National Ambient Air Quality Standards, benefitting American manufacturers.

      Rescinded Obama’s hydraulic fracturing rule, which was expected to cost the industry $32 million per year.

      Proposed an expansion of offshore drilling as part of an all-of-the above energy strategy

      Held a lease sale for offshore oil and gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico in August 2018.

  9. Good old Moscow Mitch blaming Obama like “Fat Donny” the mob boss currently running the country!
