  1. I am about to go to sleep here in the UK, but I wish everyone reading this to stay safe. Take care everyone ok!! 🙂

    1. Thank you hun my heart and prayers goes out to you and everyone around the world
      I keep thinking this is a nightmare that we can’t awake from and as long as trump is president the nightmare will continue

  2. January: it’s a hoax.
    Feb – April: Hoax / Obama / Democrats / blue states / MSM
    Tremendous job / We’ve prevailed / I’m the greatest president
    Ask China
    May: it’s a hoax.
    Ed. If you were unsure about what a foul administration this is, here’s the evidence. And Fauci? Not elected? So what? Elected officials are typically unqualified and their job is the get the experts in. Generals aren’t elected. Would any sane person allow Trump to run a war?

    1. @Gary King What’s wrong with being christian? Actually the apostles started the teachings after Christ was crucified. The pope now is very liberal. He’s changing the way things have always been. That’s why I think he’s the false prophet. As for Obama when I look in his eyes I feel the evil there. So go ahead and make fun of me, it’s the way you guys roll. That and how much we are uneducated. It’s the same every time. But I’m with you on the aliens.

    2. @Cabrones A where have you been.trump has been accused of raping over 20 women,including his ex wife.

    1. LAST CALL he is associated with facts, science and medicine……..your just associated with Dumb Donald’s “big a brain”.

  3. “Nobody elected Fauci” He is a scientist, not a politician, ffs…………..well, Trump WAS elected, and look how well THAT worked out.

    1. @Obama Spied The FBI Lied
      Gave yourself a like?
      You are as insecure as your leader.
      Not a Democrat, never have been.
      The Republican party no longer exists, nor does the party of Reagan.
      It’s a veil attempt to call it that.
      It’s Trump’s bastardized version of what he wants you to believe in.
      Angry no.
      Disappointed in a party that no longer exists?
      Yes.

    2. @KTBFF High you really should do some thorough research into pur history. Because we are not a democracy

  4. Yes, Tucker Carlson and Fox “News.” I trust Fauci, a lauded and experienced medical professional, over a narcissistic politician trying to save himself. Ummm…it’s not a hard decision. I hope other people are smart enough to ignore Trump and Fix News’ propaganda and misinformation.

    1. @Rex2212 my buddy use to have a dog named Rex. He was good boy and he could do tricks. Are you a good boy Rexie? Can you do tricks Rexie?

    2. Marisa I have a Question. In you’re opinion, which is primary INDIVIDUAL INDENTITY OR GROUP INDENTITY. Since you suggest people who vote for trump are not smart. Used the word PROPAGANDA. Do you know that word used to describe the left? In fact Musolini’s manifesto to Hitler explains this better. Do you know that Musolini told Hitler after drafting the nuremberg law.

      And I quote. He is one of us he is a Fascist referring to theodore roosevelt a democrate and of course we know demcrates are the party slavery. It is good too know little bit of history before you attach words to the right. Do you know the nuremberg law is lifted from Jim Crow laws of democrates. And infact hitler’s mentor was musolini a leftist who run a leftist paper called Avanti. This is all checkable from history. Missinformation is the defenition of facism in the Wikipedia. The real denition in short is MANNY STICKS JOINED TOGATHER ARE STRONGER THEN ONE. So will vote for TRUMP, but hope I’m smart enough to educate the people on the left and bring them back to sanity and from being brain washed.
      PS check fauci’s record for the last 3 decades with WHO, CHINA, PAST PREDICTIONS ON PANDEMICS, there is a lawsuit currently for information between him and WHO. So leftist hack who does not a very good record with pandemics in the past is the hero?
      VOTE TRUMP 2020 BABY, I don’t even like trump all that much, but democrates are a communist party not liberal, scarry

    3. He’s a doctor that don’t mean he can predict the future. He knows what’s going to happen no more than I do.

    1. @Solstice of Snow If you have the virus and you die there’s a probability of about 0.0001% that you died from something other then the virus. So it does not matter much,

    2. I think there is a little difference between questioning how some deaths re being listed and claiming all death tolls are fake.

    3. The original computer model predicted over 2.2 million people would die. That is what the original precautions were made for. The model was way wrong. Even the guy who created it was fired for violating the restrictions it caused all over the world.

      CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. CARES Act creates monetary incentive to list deaths as COVID19. Trump officials are correct.

      And this virus occurred in a country that is a major adversary to the US, in CHINA. So, you are here parroting Chinese pro panda points along with CNN.

    1. @Thomas Silver
      She was the party of Reagan, you are not.
      The Republican party is no longer distinguishable.
      It’s a bastardized version of what Trump wants you to believe in.
      My condolences to your grandmother and family.

    2. @Mario Lopez and the democrat party has turned to socialism. No more JFK’S. Both parties suck, I’m actually an independent. I used to be a Democrat, then Republican, now I support Trump but not the two parties. I don’t don’t know what I am . I lean libitarium, (not liberal). Big difference.

    3. @Zorglub Z The way they are suppressing the numbers in red states, that might be closer than the official numer

    1. Its amazing people have seen that and still believe what he tells them. Its fantastic, if I were born in america I think i’d be a welathy conman but people here are unforunately scientific and non-religious. 🙁

    2. CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. Trump officials are correct.

    1. @toxic wastetoid no he wasn’t the senate refused to testify they are all as crooked as he is. He is impeached and his record will still say impeached fifty years from now.

    2. @Truth To Power I dont go near syringes, especially those filled with vaccines and flu shots. But I bet youll be one of the first in line for Bill Gates injection…go put on your face mask and gloves while you wait….lol

    3. CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. CARES Act creates monetary incentive to list deaths as COVID19. Trump officials are correct.

  5. Fox: Fauci is so ridiculous! Outrageous! He wants to save lives! He’s spreading facts! He has years of experience! That’s preposterous! How could he want to save people? What a monster.

    1. A lot of Russian trolls here supporting the orange baby…..please go drown yourself in vodka you pathetic trolls…

    2. @ray ray My emotions are perfectly fine, thank you. It is normal to feel existential dread when learning someone legitimately thinks scientific study of viruses is to blame for something where the scientific study of viruses is in fact the only way we are able to know to social distance, to cover our faces, to make a vaccine, how to even study the virus, what a virus even is, I’ll go on. Let me know when you realize you’re wrong so we can hope to survive as a species. thanks bud

    3. The Tiny Trex Well, in his narcissist, pathetic, foggy little brain, it is all about him isn’t it? Not a shred of human decency or compassion to be found in Trump’s dead, cold, black heart.

    1. Federal prisons went silent too. And for the person who doesn’t care about inmates there is a staff who moves upon a community.

    2. Way to make a statement with absolutely no factual evidence to support it. There is, however, evidence that shows Governor of New York, Cuomo, sent COVID19 positive patients back to their nursing/retirement homes. Infecting many, many more of the most vulnerable people. These people, commonly having co-morbidities have wrongly been used to inflate the death toll. Please wake up to this evil. It should not be political.

    1. CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. CARES Act creates monetary incentive to list deaths as COVID19. Trump officials are correct.

  6. Election date “not firm ” ???
    The UNMITIGATED gall of
    This TWERP to even suggesting
    The date to be changed. !!!
    Only Congress can do this.

  7. If Trump is so confident about re-opening the economy, why doesn’t he stop getting tested for coronavirus each day, and prohibit his staff and cabinet from being tested prior to being in his presence?

    1. Obama Spied The FBI Lied 😂 You’re an idiot. How in the world did Obama do anything to Trumpy when he WARNED HIM about Flynn? Everybody did. This is just another witch hunt by Trumpy to distract everybody from his failures.

    1. Jessica Deines @ the question is why are they even asking him are election date? It’s congress job.

    2. Jessica Deines…Happy I saw your comment as I was going to write the same question! The 💩 Show Continues.🙃

    1. Scientific questions are decided based on proofs. Not based on elections.
      One ought to be a complete hack not to acknowledge it.

  8. Ohh Fox News are scientists now OMG they are like trump experts everything 😂😂😂😂 cant wait until they are closed down liars

    1. Ann quit being a Karen.
      Greta is here to save the day.
      Do everything she says.
      And not half heartedly.

    2. CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. CARES Act creates monetary incentive to list deaths as COVID19. Trump officials are correct.

    3. Kinda like nurse Anderson on CNN… No one knows crap yet. They, whoever, are still spraying the virus germ around so it’s not over.

  9. 2:12 Laura Ingraham: “No one elected him to anything”. Right. Same goes for the entire Cabinet, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump. Must i go on? Whats your point?

    1. Trump was elected and then he chose nepotism for some supporting positions. This is not new. Kennedy put his own brother as AG.

    2. That is true… However we elected Donald J. Trump as president and he has every right to choose who he hires within his administration. Jared and Ivanka are not taking pay checks from the government. Fauci, on the other hand, is taking a paycheck from the government and outside interests within the pharmaceutical industry and has been entrenched in our government for over 30 years. He is using his current position to mandate massive reaching policy decisions that have far reaching ramifications out of his expertise. And there are a plethora of people with medical credentials that do not agree with Fauci.

      CDC changed ICD codes to include mere suggestions allowing for COVID19 as cause of death. CARES Act creates monetary incentive to list deaths as COVID19. Trump officials are correct. I hope this will also help you to fear less, as the media wants you to live in fear. They are bad, very, very bad people. Very bad.
