Why can’t these start on time
How many times will Trump say INCREDIBLE, TREMENDOUS, DEMOCRATS, UNFAIR, and THEY DON’T NEED THE RESPIRATORS BUT WE HAVE THEM
Don’t forget BEAUTIFUL everything is BEAUTIFUL….
So I thought this is suppose to be a briefing on COVID-19? He gets up there and continues to try to divide the country, even NOW during a freaken pandamic..If he would just STICK TO THE SCRIPT! So unqualified for this position! I can only pray the Rep. learned a hard lesson with this sorry SOB in here..He has cost lives and continues to blame EVERYONE else..
Disgusting excuse of a human.
I sure hope you are going to a whole lot more testing before you suggest Americans go back to work. You cannot claim so many states have low numbers when we don’t have testing. A careless assumption.
who said China was very transparent and your CDC and W.H.O have been working hard very…, it was just like yesterday😜
Okay. You are doing very great job “at least-er” . Before you reopening economic, please go to work in front liner one day or just loaded body to the truck . DO IT ONLY ONE DAY , then reopen economic.
Listen again to all the stuff that we made. All those numbers he spat out about how many masks gloves and everything. And then remember we have 328.2 million people. And just the United States last year.
If it’s highly contagious why you’re send us back out there by May, they knowing there are no testing? May is way to soon,, you want zero outbreaks before you send us to out death.
Lol u need help
Correct. Watch him get greedy and only see dollar bills. Watch people die from it way before it’s OK to reopen. Watch governors ignore him. Bye bye federal government. Say hi to 10-15 new countries, like after the CCCP fell.
I couldn’t agree more, this administration just wants the money to roll in again, unfortunately there are so many Americans that will drink the cool aid. They don’t understand that he is willing to sacrifice us for his stupid pride.
ScentlessApprentice 666 I have been and I’ve been laughing at the idiots with masks on.
You have a choice to stay home and self quarantine

@ Emanuel Macias – in what way? You shouldn’t insult people only because they are not lacking on education – or have their own mind. Non of them deserves it. Did I insult you or did I say anything against joining the army or whatever ? So please explain what people are not allowed to demonstrate against, and what are rebulacans.
Emanuel Macias your Brain is Zero. I have never seen a stupid person like you in my life
