Rescue Operations Underway After Beirut Explosion Kills At Least 100, Wounds Thousands | MSNBC
When asked for comment, Trump replied, “It is what it is”. 🤔
Bluegold21 awe😱he’s still winning …
The explosion was Hunter Biden’s meth lab
@Dawn Kuzio winning at what?
No wall, Mexico didnt pay for it
Never repealed ACA nor has a replacement plan
Hillary never went to jail
He never ended to wars in the middle east
Oh…. And 160k have died from a virus he failed to prevent or stop from spreading.
gina delsasso next 4 years ..did you get your check ?
Bryan owed’m … paid right wing TROLL… chimes in desperately with jibberish expecting a “proper” response…. no money here TROLL, wanna bugger?
The PM sounded extremely angry and I cannot blame him.. Why doesn’t Trump ever STFU when he doesn’t know anything that is going on? Always wants to cause chaos my goodness!!
He likes what your doing right now. Taking about him….no such thing as bad press baby
Mr. Bongs BurgH Yes, we talk amongst ourselves about what an impeached treasonous criminal he is and how he has turned this into a third world country. I am a veteran and will not stop until he is in prison!
If he did shut up when he doesn’t know….then he’d never Talk! Because he never knows!
Karla Kay That is a very sound argument. Well done.
JGM0JGM lol
Perhaps everyone could put their biases aside for a moment about the victims and send their prayers and dollars to help them.
No, they can’t. EVERYTHING has to be about Trump.
A Republic If You Can Keep It. Saying a prayer for you as well.
Start writing the check, I will give you my address to send the money
Put their biases aside for a moment? How about not have biases (racism) at all? Humans amaze me with how low they’ll stoop to feel good.
Was in Beirut last year. Went for a run right by here every morning. Bless Beirut, the Lebanese are lovely people.
Thank god you were not there when this happened. Wow! Just wow. I hope any friends and family you may have in the area are ok and that you are having a good day.
Are the Ethiopians lovely people?
The country is an absolute disaster from top to bottom and that was before 250 ton fertilizer bomb went off.
@incipidsigninsetup that has nothing to do with the average citizen just like 50% of Americans don’t want to be defined by our”leadership.”
@incipidsigninsetup everything you said was wrong though… Their economy was in the toilet yes, still a beautiful place and people. No one has said it’s a bomb. It was 2,750 tons. At least get 1 thing correct.
When asked trump said – we will send help but, first they need to do us a favor though.
Ahhhhhh, I hit the comments to see how quickly this would be about Trump. Turns out, VERY QUICKLY!
We actually don’t need to help them with s*** if we don’t want to
…Lebanon does not like the United States….. if you are American also they don’t like you.
Like sending the unexploded charges from the 1983/ USS New Jersey assault. Anyone remembers the missfired projectiles into farmers villages in the Beeka Valley ?
2750 tons of ammonium nitrate stored right beside a fireworks factory in the city. What could possibly go wrong?
which gets instable at 90 F. Yeah, what could possibly go wrong? Muppets.
Fertilizers as well too
I wonder where they store their nukes right next to.
2750 metric tones
Leave it to Trump to spread conspiracy theories about a simple case of neglect and corruption. Something like this could happen in the US, as he is ending safety regulations left right and center and filling important positions in his administration with hacks lacking experience in governing and expertise.
You should disregard anything Trump says. There is never any basis for any of his remarks.
Kiddy diddler democrats: Men can give birth
@Hudfarvet er Dansk It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.
@A Republic If You Can Keep It. I flag most of these pro-Trump, conspiracy spewing, vulgar, hate filled idiots. The maxim about shutting up gets under their skin, because on some level they know they it is accurate.
This is what deregulation can cause.
The clip said it sounded more like no one was willing to take responsibility for storing it there, no one took responsibility for moving it and everyone pretended not to know.
Richard Owens scary thought hey considering Trump’s done away with those pesky regulations that were getting in the way of making the rich richer!!
This one is not about us, everything is not about us and Trump. Give it a rest for 5 seconds!
No, not about Donald, it’s about what will/is becoming of America, and ofciurse feel for those who lost their lives to corruption, if you on the comments section can’t handle 2 thoughts at once, that’s your problem, it’s about deregulation, and the same is happening here, intentionally stupid or just stupid
@T Gentry no, there were no 2 thoughts at once, there were Trump thoughts. How bad is Trump, what is Trump doing to us, while that all may be true, there was hardly a sentence of compassion about Beirut. All about awful Trump, never mind what has happened to people who have been blown up. There is a saying “you can’t pee on my leg and then try to tell me it’s raining.”
TRUMP keep your nose out, you can’t even cope with America..
@Ro G 👈 is a zombie sheep who beleives everything he sees on tv and his mobile device 😂
@Ro G Dementia Joe Fingers said preventing the coronavirus is xenophobic!
@Stevan R. Ro was crying before the coronavirus and when the economy was booming! Ro is a baby!
@Bud Fudlacker Bud, why do you hate America?
@james jones if I hated America I would vote for Dementia Joe Fingers!
#45 has no clue, as always.
#45 = Capt. Chaos !!!
@Gaetan Lacasse Capt. Yuuge Dump
Only moron Trump thinks it was an attack…..Soon his generals will say they never told him that.
Lefty Me They did when he spewed his conspiracy theory.
AGAIN LIES from TRUMP!
Good thing the stable genius has the nuclear codes…
RIP to the people who died, I hope no children were hurt.
This is just like a Takata/Honda airbag only larger!
@Mark Grudt you mean like trump’s breathe 😟
and again : Trump talking trash but no action.
like you ))))
I just can’t even imagine, you’re out on a walk, driving home, running an errand….and all of a sudden pretty much a nuclear bomb is dropped on you.
Much love to the people of Beirut. 🙏❤️
As usual Trump vomits his opinions.
Lebanon citizens please don’t let Trump speak on your behalf
he can’t even do for his own country
If go RT, all the comments are “ISREAL DID IT.” How do you know, “YES ISREAL.”
