80 comments

  1. WOW America has NO news networks anymore, you are all opinion pages, and I would have more respect for you if you would just admit to it.

    1. @Facundo Baigoria It is dangerous to speak your mind now, thanks to the Karens of America who are offended by everything, and stir violence up against the people who dissagree with her.

    2. Cu Tèo if you listen to dt for five minutes and you dont recognize that he has a limited intellect, then your intellect is also limited. this is not meant as an insult, it is just a fact. people who are not intellectual have other qualities, which are as important as intellect! a carpenter is as valuable as an doctor, but both should work in their field, unless they get the needed skills of the other. a president (and real leader) needs an extraordinary intellect, because he has so many people and so many things at the same time to handle. dt cant speak longer and logic sentences and often contradicts himself in the same sentences. he is just not capable of leading. he just blocked the funding of the who – he did the same with cdc … i am afraid you cant see similarity, more people will die, sad …

    3. @r s Yea they don’t want to hear that lol you’re right tho, anyone with half a brain knows a real genius don’t talk like that. Good luck these blind sheeple love the toothless racist.

    4. @Cu Tèo Umm…. He did literally nothing in February and he was asked that during a briefing of which he just kept avoiding the question. Which he admires btw. Mike Pence spoke for 5 minute and didn’t touch the presses question. And stated it just for good measure. Do these people even watch the same man? Or is it just more Trump bots?

    1. @Rod Steel: in God’s eye’s I am blameless I am written in the Lamb’s book of life how about you….

    2. @Marcus Guzman Good! I hope you are too. But if you’re voting Democrat there is blood on your hands playa.

    1. “The powerful president of the United States has the powerful authority to do whatever powerful thing the powerful president of the United States has to do. … Which is powerfully powerful!” That’s what the IMPEACHED orange buffoon who is sitting in our White House uttered two days ago (Monday April ,13) at his fake press briefing.
      Here is your genius:

    1. @Aliya Toure YOU wish YOUR Candidate will be the BEST PRESIDENT . YOU make ME laugh VERY, VERY , HARD, Trump Tsunami coming YOUR WAY !!

    2. @yes THAT expression is SO yesterday!!! Come up with something more original , . Instead of a YES , YOU ARE A NO!

    3. @c jordan I don’t have a candidate that i want to be president though,plus trump supporters don’t threaten me.

    4. @seymore yo Reagan held frequent press conferences to speak directly to the people a d going around the media. The irony IMO is Trump has better policy than even Reagan. But Reagan spoke with bi-partisanship and Trump with shock jock hyperbole.

      Obama had the ability to be a bi-partisan uniter, but in stead chose intellectual troll. Average conservatives didn’t have the knowledge or glibness to effectively rebuff Obama, but knew they didn’t like what he was saying.

  2. This is the same guy who kept boasting that Clinton had a 100% chance of winning

    Edit: I personally am not a Trump supporter, but I still don’t think Plouffe is as much of an expert as he and MSNBC thinks he is.

    1. mario perez what name did I mention that sounds familiar to you? I was asleep when you sent that so I couldn’t answer

    2. mario perez yeah I think the Meg person was referring to Trump when they wished the coronavirus on someone but a lot of people on social media celebrated when Boris Johnson got it which I found horrific.

  3. Came straight to the comments sections….more interesting than their reporting that’s for sure!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

    1. @mario perez If you were coming here because you wanted to be an “American”, that would be awesome.
      You, for example, are fluent in English!!! That is GREAT.
      But when you come here waving the flag of the *shithole* country that you just got done running away from???
      What is that about???? Just stay back in your homeland. We don’t need or want you here.
      Every country in the world has borders. But when the USA wants to protect their borders, we are suddenly racists???

    2. Biden’s mental health is failing and Obama prove it by only endorsing him when he was the last man standing

    3. @Kid Pistol 27 Dementia Joe will not get the nomination.
      I think the commies at the DNC will give it to Commie Cuomo.

  4. Haha.. Another predictable response from the Looney left… This is the 69th time the media has predicted his downfall.. Current record 0-68. I would bet the farm they go 0-69..

    1. enator71 problem with people like you is that you have actually convinced yourself your beliefs are the majority

  5. Ah, sadly you cant rewrite history when the information is only 5 months old. America remembers what the media was saying since last November and the inaccurate information coming from the opinionated idiots who cant do simple math.

    1. @Jpkrao Careful. Your TDS is showing. Keep drinking the koolaid of fake news media and you’ll only get worse.

    2. @Jpkrao It must be awful for you knowing that you’ll need to suffer four mor years. Dont worry though, your socialist Democrats will have your back soon. LoL

    3. Imagine the numbers of people who would be dead if Trump didn’t do the racist China travel ban. 430,000 Chinese came in the month of January 2020. Imagine another 500-600K in February & March, each one (some % infected), being a vector of transmission spread across the country. You’d have dead people all over the country in their own home because they couldn’t get into a hospital. But carry on about how tests were the problem. Which is better? Additional tests to see the scale of the problem at that snapshot in time or another 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 infected in America? The latter would be the what the US would be experiencing right now had they responded to the problem.

    5. @Jpkrao Ah, looks like the lame drones from the CCP are hard at work with their poor attempt at trolling. I would think a bit more effort would be put into your trolling. Copy/paste links from CNN, MSNBC….? LoL

    1. @Charles S. Really? Change channels once in awhile. Especially if they cut away before it’s finished. There’s your sign.

    2. trump supporters like to dislike every video from any news source aside from fox. just go check out ABC’s channel, videos that have nothing to do with donald have thousands of dislikes.

    3. @Phelan Maybe it’s because they’re fake news and people see it, and has nothing to do with Trump. It’s downvoted because it sucks

  6. Claiming to know Trump’s thoughts is a stretch. Do the talking heads ever wonder why their credibility with the public is declining?

  7. At a point in time when America’s need to come together. MSNBC continues to always look at the worst side of everything. When something good happens in this pandemic, they say the governor’s done it. When something bad happens it’s always Trump done it.

    1. @Jaylen Harris I listen to all three. And try to figure out right from wrong. If you listen to the governors and the White House it seems we’re doing all right. You just always see MSNBC and CNN trying to put the Democrats against the White House. You watch them ask Como the stupidest questions ever. When Trump shut the country down the Democrats said it was too early. Now that it worked, they’re saying he acted to late. so when you see someone switch directions and contradict thimself there usually the one that’s wrong. Not only that MSNBC and CNN reported it would be 2.5 million deaths in the United. With a minimum of 100,000. So if we stayed below 33,000 death in the United States. It was handled 3 times betterthen the Democratic party, MSNBC, and CNN said it would be.

    2. @Jaylen Harris yes. but not as bad as CNN, or MSNBC. You’ll hear Fox bust the president when he does something wrong. But they are a little to the right. But them other two or so far left. They’re basically liberal news outlets.

    3. @Jaylen Harris I have seen Fox news speak respectfully with their opponents. The title of this video though – shameful.

    4. @Jaylen Harris Jaylen, that is the lamest leftist argument I have ever heard, and it’s all those on the left an muster. Because there is one biased conservative network, they try to justify that EVERY OTHER NETWORK’S leftist bias. MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS, NBC, PBS, Headline News, etc. Even the hosts of every late night talk show have a liberal bias.The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, Seth Myers, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, etc. It’s a joke. The only unbiased news sources left are the Wall Street Journal and USA Today.

  8. “IT’S THE BEGINNING OF THE END.”
    “BOMBSHELL”
    “WALLS ARE CLOSING IN.”
    We’ve heard this all before.

    1. @Liberty AboveAllElse nope not from faux news. drump is at least 10X the crook. Failed business got bankruptcy several times then manipulated so he got nearly a billion dollar tax break. using Mara largo for official government business and pocketing that. vacations there every other week. rent two floors of trump towers for secret service on our dime. installed oil, gas and coal cronies then the two trillion dollar stimulus gives him a blank check for $500000000. Solyndra times X1000. Watch and see!

    2. 33,600 people have died in under three months. thats over half the lives lost in the tragic and costly (in human lives) Vietnam War… If you arent horrified, its because you arent paying attention….. We will outstrip all the lives lost in an almost ten year hot war – from this virus. MANY MANY being struck down IN action, doing their “essential” jobs to keep your bodegas full of crunchy snax, and your sneaks coming from Amazon. GO fk yourself, jagoff

    3. @Meg Most of those struck down were elderly dying of chronic diseases anyway. IN fact many of the deaths were attributed to Covid-19 WITHOUT ANY TESTING for the virus itself. This was done under recently released guidelines by the CDC that allows this nonsense. There’s a financial incentive to attribute deaths to Covid-19 as funding from the aid bill goes disproportionately to hospitals and institutions that rack up the highest covid-19 numbers. They added over 4000 cases that died from natural causes to the covid-19 death tally in one fell swoop from New York in the last day or so. It’s al bogus at this point. Still lower numbers than seasonal influenza, both nationwide and globally.

    4. @enator71 U Are CLUELESS!!! PLEASE! Research The FACTS! Get Away From CNN MSNBC THE VIEW Etc. Try FOX CBN HUCKABEE JUDGE JENNEINE LOU DOBBS HANNITY etc. There ARE 2 Sides To Every Story.

    5. @enator71 Our BELOVED President TRUMP: PAID for his own Campaign=NOT Owned by ANY Lobbyists Or Groups.
      2) Has NEVER Taken His Presidential Salary=It’s DONATED To Various Agencies 2 Help Orhers.
      3) RESTORED OUR “CHRISTIAN VALUES” Including PRAYER In Our Public Schools…SOooo Much Media DOESN’T Tell…WAKE UP DUMocRATS/Liberals!

  9. Say the side that were crying about racism and xenophobia when he closed down flights first to china and then europe, who are you kidding here now.

    1. @Two B Trump is a racist and xenophobe, but nobody called any countries travel ban during the pandemic racist. However, we all learned how stupid it was to allow half a million Americans back into the country from all over the planet without self quarantine now that every state is infected. We were infected by European strain that went unchecked because a Racist travel ban allows unrestricted travel from infected regions not named China.

    2. @K Sorry, but calling people excuse makers does not erase the video of many democrats and democratic media saying those things.

    3. @Donald Diesendorf The story your selling is total BS because all nations were restricting travel and China had banned internal travel for its own people. Countries that didn’t ban travel had quarantines in place like SK and some countries banned all travel that included their own citizens.

      Trump’s travel ban on China are pretty shortsighted considering the scope of the pandemic, while half a million Americans from affected regions returned without any restrictions to infect all 50 states.

    4. @K Your sources are faulty. Media & dems roasted Trump calling him racist. Europe did not stop travel until Trump banned it. Too easy to get truth now for you to get by with false reporting.

    5. @Donald Diesendorf Its all BS from Trump. China had locked itself down, South Korea restricted travel, New Zealand shutdown all travel before Trump.

      Trump is making up the fake opposition because he really didn’t do much till this was officially declared a Pandemic, because nobody will call anyone a racist for banning travel from a locked down China that’s restricting travel. However, racism can blind people from logic to allow unrestricted travel from infected regions around the world not named China.

  10. MSNBC: ‘A surprise pandemic from china is trumps fault, clearly a man with dementia would do better’.
    Biden didn’t even want to ban travel lmao.

  11. The division is killing this “united” country. Funny to see how half of the population is so biased against each other while China launches a bio, media attack and soon Physical attack against US. It is about the chaos time.

    1. Any last-minute request like this will create a downstream snarl that will result in a delay,” Hooper said, though the administration absolutely insists that there will be no delay so the man-child in chief can have his ego stroked…I’m not a stripper fyi. I actually went to college however, I have been told “I was late for my shift” at the local strip club. People should not be so hasty.
