'Shut Down This Country For Two Weeks' | Morning Joe | MSNBC
America is lucky to have doctor fauci….
…and Germany has Prof. Drosten. People already print T-Shirts with his face.
@snoop alert not 2 it’s too!
@snoop alert What a load of incoherent drivel. I can see why you are drawn to Trump… Trumps only bragging point since he took office was taking credit for Obamas risky quantitative easing policy that has artifically inflated the economy post 2008. Now that the Corona Virus has wiped that away people will start to see the emperor has no clothes and his approval ratings will fall. The economy will tank and Obama used Americas last life jacket by slashing interest rates and printing money. To think its Trump who stands between us and gloabal finanical crash.
DR. FAUCI – SAVE US – WE ARE AT THE DOOR OF DEATH WITH A CRAZY IMMORAL NUT CASE AT THE HELM.
@J M That wouldn’t work. They’re not human.
Too late for a two week lock down. It this point it will need at least 6–8 weeks.
no Name At this point it is about flattening that curve.
no Name Actually I do as I am living the lock down right now – second week running. And yes it is expensive and will cost a lot of jobs probably even my own. But the alternative are death by the thousands. Do you want to put a dollar tag on that?
sherrie sullivan The gravely ill will go to the hospitals, if there is still capacity at that time.
Wrong
Robert Kloth Lets have that discussion in two weeks 😉
America is like a dysfunctional relationship you want it to work but you know it’s not going to🤯🤏😴😴😴🥳🥶😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Chuck ,don’t let the door hit you in the a$$ chuckie,you marxist fool!!
Kimbo Phillips ✅ that’s awesome
@Max Reilly
And the fun thing is… While they call each other “right wing” and “left wing”, they are both right-wing to the extreme.
@dan112020 I see where both sides are coming from, trump is looking at the economic picture while the democrats are looking at the people, both sides are VERY important
@dan112020 Democrats and Republicans are two wings of the same bird………..
Hey donny, go out and play golf and let us take care of this, this is an adult thing.
somebody give him a Hamberder
Best comment ALL DAY!!! lol
Well said
That was the plan when he dumped it off on Pence. But then other people got the spotlight and attention
Just wondering if your Mother had any children that lived or wasn’t brain damaged at birth ?
To EVERYONE that cares about the People, remember this in November.
@Gina R Biden? Are you and Biden in a self help Alzheimer’s program?
If the Republicans put up Joe Biden, we’d never hear the end of “dementia and OMG he’s going to have the button and launch codes by his side and he’s got dementia.”
So be fair and it’s ok to fear crazy Joe. Hey let me ask you, would you let Joe Biden babysit your little girl,?
@Naimul Haq everyone this is GINA, LINDA AND ROXXXS PIC TO BE YOUR NEXT PRESIDENT. ENJOY!!

@U S 🤞
@K. Bentley You’re messing with us right k? LOL I knew you were just joking us. Cause for a second I thought, What kinda of imbecile would say something that dumb? Lmao I gotta admit you got me. I’ll prank you back. Because seriously keep America White? Trump a terrible white supremacist since he approved 400 million for Black colleges that were neglected for years (Obama lol loser & divider) That keep America White president had the lowest unemployment for minorities. 😯 OMG! He’s doing more than Obama did??!!
@U S That stock market (which he doesn’t play) and those rich guys, put bread and butter on your table. Now I need you to get that hamster spinning that wheel in your little head. There was something in our history about the Great Depression where the Stock Market crashed. Do you think that just hurt rich people playing the market or did the poor become even poorer, homeless and hungry?
See that! You learn something everyday. So you’d better hope for your sake Trump gets that market back up. You should be stroking yourself everytime you hear that Stock Market breaks a record it affects you even if your a bum asking for handouts
. You think millions are going to die of the Wuhan virus? I got the virus and you’ll be fine. The people who will die from the pandemic is peanuts compared to how many would die if this economy crashed. Btw, can you believe the nerve of those dems asking for 50 million for the Kennedy art center or they wouldn’t pass the bill so you could get your 1200.00? And that was just 1 thing. See, your angry energy isn’t directed at the right people. You remind me of the blindfolded person at a kids party trying to pin the tail on the donkey after being spun around by main stream media.
Some people don’t care until they have a grandma or granddad die or their younger family get super sick. Stay at home.
@Dusty Rains Yes this is a public forum. But when asked to stop hitting me up that should be respected. No one is a MAGA or Trump supporter here. This is the first and ONLY time I agree with him. Let’s get Country moving let this Virus take it’s coarse and stop tripping. Back when Obama was Prez I didn’t agree with all he did or didn’t do to my personal satisfaction either. Everything is not US vs Them. I don’t live by HATE, you should figure out where your HATE is coming from and move on.
Jackie H so true
@DL DOWN -So, the American C-19 death toll hit 10,000. How’s your dumbfuck theory working out for you now?
@DL DOWN -Correction 10,841.
@DL DOWN Update: 17, 843 C-19 deaths. We were at 10, 700 3 days ago. Are you finally starting to see the cracks in your idiotic pet theory? Or have you dug in your heels? If you want to stop me from updating you in the future, here’s what you do. Go through this thread, and delete all your posts. It will delete my responses to you, as well.
The President doesn’t seem to realize that the economy can recover but the dead can’t
Foxchump news ia all in. Let em die.
He is a capitalist pig. And we all know that capitalist pigs only care about money and profit.
@Ron Wuerch you are poorly educated for a reason
@Angela Brown lol the same bill they were very willing to hold up until their green new deal was included? Democrat supporters stupidty is only surpassed by their blindness.
Micropenis@Frank Martinez why did Dems choose to delay and add the entire green new deal to the stimulus package? How were airline emissions or solar panels relevant or more important than bailing out Americans? Quote: Sen. Kelly Loeffler “[House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] and [Senate Minority Leader] Chuck Schumer [D-N.Y.] are putting solar panels ahead of people,” she said.
Dems before the American people sounds about right to you _micro_ ?
As of tomorrow (25 Mar), the NZ government has declared a full Lock Down for 4 weeks.
No schools, no non-essential businesses, all confined to home isolation…
Financial assistance to all…
It’s going to be tough but it needs to be done.
All the best…
New Zealand??
Deuces Wild Your point being ???
NZ as in New Zealand?
@Emmanuelle Samara If you can come up with another country that NZ may represent other than New Zealand I’d be very interested. Or if the assumption was the initials were for America, a state that could mean.
You’d be surprised who is claiming essential business. Car factories which make up a huge amount of our workforce.
Lol two weeks, here in NZ we have just 100 cases and from Wednesday we are in lockdown for minimum 4 weeks.
I expected this to happen, so we were prepared. My wife is now operating her business from our home’s study and our daughter who works for an accountancy firm is now working from a desk set up in our spare bedroom. Just as well we have a good internet service.
I wish our country had done that. US started with 1 then 15 and 4 weeks later 43,734 cases 553 Deaths with no containment in sight
I guess its much harder when a country has states, Australia has the same problem, some states are taking it more serious than others.
No one in government making all state’s follow the same lockdown.
However we have no states so everything is done by central government and it applies nationwide.
Sydney Australia is still not taking the threat seriously, ships with 1000s were allowed to disembark, no customs check no health check, no quarantine nothing! Now many are confirmed to have the virus! Crazy crazy!
Ladies and gentlemen the US is going to crash harder
America values profit over life. Always has.
Ancel Rick first off all I’m not a fortune teller…there is literally thousands of high probability ways America can crash harder because of trumps utter lack of incompetence and indifference to this crisis. Second I already told you when, it’s already started and it’s not gonna stop for a while, how long is up to competent people working behind trump trying to hold America together as he rips it apart.
You can’t predict the future.
Robert Kloth well to be fair you can’t prove the Loch Ness monster doesn’t exist but I think we all can tell the obvious right?
@kayne garcia that comparison doesn’t make sense. The loch Ness isn’t about predicting the future.
Thank you Dr. Fauci for being honest! We are lockdown in California! Our President is beyond clueless, and many folks may die! Stay safe, and we need to slow down the Titanic Virus!
TRUMP DON’T CARE WHO DIES ……..JUST MAKE SURE HIS MONEY DON’T DIE!
I thank God I’m in California too where sanity seems to be prevailing. Can you imagine being in Mississippi right now?
jztouch Heck No! I notice they have 1100 cases.
Jean Duffy yikes!
One of the few guys who have integrity and bold enough to tell the stable genius the truth about what’s going on. Proud of you Dr. Fauci
@DARC E they know you moron. They are just willing to take the risk. They aren’t worried about it. You don’t understand people is all.
Robert Kloth … and that makes me the moron by your logic?? Lol 😂 You’re a geniassssss. I swear dumb is contagious. Please stop before you look more stupid. Or don’t I don’t care.
Dr. Fauci has no problem with the genius. It’s you that has the problem. Now if you want to vote dementia in 2020 that’s your choice. We’ll point him to the podium.
@Agathac Cheb that’s why he surrounds himself with smart people. Dill wad.
Bob Evans 🍊🤡 CORONA KING COTUS couldn’t be more out of control if he tried but you keep suckling on his teets. Your comment is about as off point as he is. Maybe that’s how you can ineptly follow his dementia and delusional thoughts. Good for you. AND if you think FAUCI doesn’t have issue with 🍊🤡 it would be odd since he corrects, contradicts, and has to change his comments every time they are in the press room but yea no issues.
To your last comment … 🍊🤡CCCOTUS could only have smarter people around him at this time. A BUDWISER frog would be more intellectual than him.
Another sign that Trump lives in a different world
4 week nationwide shutdown. Listen to the medical experts and not the “we’ll see what happens” president. “15 cases will soon be zero”.
@Johnny C
Hahahahaah
@Javier J He was trying to cause mass delusion. Kind of his thing.
Matteo Watteo just bc you’re slow and confused easily doesn’t mean most people are
This is The be solution but It will affect trumps finances so he will probably not do it
Ok when did the four weeks begin? Let’s see?
Your starting to see Trump Crack…..his concern is the economy and the effect that will have on his re-election bid
Covid-19 morphed into the “TRUMP VIRUS” by the actions of his administration; reduced CDC funding, lack of vital equipment, denial and abuse. What can be expected from a know-all suffering malignant narcisistic psychopathy?
Agreed! Further, this is evidence as to just how DANGEROUS the Job of US President can be when the WRONG person is occupying the seat! And to think, like…this is the only job we could think of where an incredibly poor performance can’t get you FIRED!!!!!
@Ahmad Abdullah Exactly. I know I’ve thought all along, let’s hope nothing provokes a war while he’s in power because it would be the worst possible event he could be in charge of. Though it would, not once did anything like a Pandemic occur to me. Least of all a fast acting one.
No Bail out for BiG Businesses, they can sustain themselves for months. The citizens and small businesses need help, they will spend the money and in turn that will stimulate the economy. The People first!!!!!!!
This man’s incompetence has been laid bare for all to see since he literally TOOK office. How many will die before someone else grabs the wheel?
The idiots that voted for him are like cult members… They still following and praising this morone, even in the face of DEATH! I SWEAR I JUST DON’T GET IT! SMDH
When this is all done and over, I can’t wait to read Fauci’s book on what he had to go through in Donald Trump’s World of Delusion.
REMEMBER THOSE WHO CALLED THIS A HOAX AND CREATED DANGEROUS DELAYS WHEN YOU START BURYING YOUR FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY
Yeah, Fox News.
I don’t recall anyone saying it was a hoax. They just didn’t think it was going to be treated any different from past flu viruses.
Dangerous delays? Are you typing from China you commie. Go look at all the”delays” when he was ridiculed for shutting down flight from China as overreacting and if you think he called the virus a hoax you’re as stupid as media matters or these two on the screen. Vote Democrat and watch the bloodbaths on the streets. Dementia Joe for Senate.
Ok, now can you shut up with your Chinese rumors
