Trump Again Takes Credit For Coronavirus Successes While Shifting Blame For His Failures | MSNBC

A day after saying reopening the economy would be the charge of state governors, President Donald Trump used his public comments to undermine them.

    1. But should the converse be the same? If he gets all the blame should should he get credit when things look good?

    2. @Young Lee

      I believe in God and I voted for President trump prayers for you and your family as well

    1. I agree. I want a Democrat present asap. I want to be able to tell the illegals at the border, “Welcome! We’re Americans, we’re stupid. What kind of Free Healthcare Plan do you want?” Oh gosh…I just can’t wait!!!!

    2. @Vincent Azazel
      I never said I wanted a democrat president. I would however, like a president with an IQ above 75.

    1. ​@Tom Bombadil I hope you, and the initial research are correct. Other early research is more troubling, e.g. the RoK study indicating possibility or re-infection. In one area of Italy, San Marino, the death rate was a little over 1 in 1000 over the overall population. I’m not sure what the demographics are for San Marino, or how overwhelmed the healthcare system was, but that sets a lower bound of 0.1% mortality, which is serious for a disease that is this infectouse.

    2. @Linda Stover the 1400 come to a death rate of 0.02% compared to the 3% that was used to justify the lockdowns. since you don’t seem to know how to do the math, I’ll tell you it’s 150x lower. who’s the moron? the average death rate for flu over the past 10 years is 0.13%. but only 20% of deaths attributed to flu actually had a flu virus. a big portion actually died from common cold viruses. because they were old or infirm. that’s just what happens. so here we have a virus that is much less deadly than flu, more on a par with the common cold, but spreads very fast. so it’s nasty, but it is not at a level of severity to justify the shutdown. if 30% had it and barely noticed, you should be happy to hear that. it means you are not about to die from some horrible disease. are you disappointed?

    3. @Jay Tea There was another report that said the Italy deaths were overstated. the person who said it is an Italian health official, not just some conspiracy dude https://www.independentsentinel.com/only-12-of-italys-patients-reported-as-dying-from-cov-19-died-from-it-directly/

      The infection rate makes it serious even at the level I am suggesting, but it’s not the disaster that the news and government are making it out to be. It’s serious like maybe on par with a really bad flu season or something like that. think about this, New York City was hit worse than anywhere and they were not overwhelmed. They never needed those temporary hospital beds.

    4. @ 04/20/2020 *2000 Covid19 deaths* per day in America!!! Approx. 1000 deaths per day in Britain!!! – Just because President *DUMB DUMBER DUMBEST* (DDD) HATED America’s 1st black Prez Obama so much, *Trump DDD* SHUT DOWN Global Pandemics Response Team Offices in *39 out of 49* countries, INCLUDING CHINA!!!!

      A) Watch *Trump SENT Ventilators & Masks to China* Blames OBAMA for Shortage” on YouTube  https://youtu.be/ry6loTOkLhU
      B)  Watch *Trump Refused To Follow Pandemic Blueprint* Because He Thought He Knew Better! on YouTube https://youtu.be/MTWsCEjDNDE  
      C)  IMPORTANT: ☆Watch “NYT: January memo warned White House of pandemic risks”☆ on YouTube  https://youtu.be/HTKzFT5a5Acl

    5. ​@Diana Strong Nicely done. When dealing with Trump supporters, always keep the receipts. It won’t help with the hardcore, zombie brain dead, but there are a few trumpist who retained some brain activity. You may get to them.

  1. From Europe. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. This is so ridiculous it can not be even close to real.

    1. @Virgil Parks By your comments I sense a great deal of hatred towards caucasians.. I’m also certain you are a huge Obama fan.. just my gut! Lol

    2. @BJ …LOOK AT YOUR HISTORY SINCE YOU CRAWLED OUT THEM CAVES & COME BACK WITH THAT QUESTION AGAIN PLEASE WHEN YOUR DONE..!!! #ILLWAIT

    3. @Virgil Parks There’s nothing wrong with being any race btw.. we should all be proud of who we are and where we came from. Jesus was not of white descent but that hasn’t made white ppl bad.. He wasn’t black either and that doesn’t reflect on blacks.. Jesus loves everyone red yellow black and white..

    4. @Virgil Parks how much crack have you done and I am not white (there’s nothing wrong with being any race) I am Colombian.

    1. @ 04/20/2020 *2000 Covid19 deaths* per day in America!!! Approx. 1000 deaths per day in Britain/ Ditto Italy!!! – Just because President *DUMB DUMBER DUMBEST* (DDD) HATED America’s 1st black Prez Obama so much, *Trump DDD* SHUT DOWN Global Pandemics Response Team Offices in *39 out of 49* countries, INCLUDING CHINA!!!!

    2. *NB: Taiwan, Germany, Iceland, S.Korea* UAE, NZ suffer VERY LOW COVID19 death tolls: Thanks to their EXCELLENT Government TESTING/ ISOLATION & MEDICAL TREATMENT programmes. ALSO due to smart leaders, who love their people, as opposed to GENOCIDAL American *President DDD!!!*

    3. @Andrew LOLOLOLOL 40,000 Americans dead after he said “It will be miraculously gone by April”
      Who is the fool??

    4. Ejiro Emerho they love to lie about it. Trumps a good president and I want u to tell me what’s wrong with him.

    1. @Thomas Jess You say that as if war games with those two powers have never happened under any other presidencies. I’m not even a Trump supporter, but that first statement is a weak point to argue.

    2. @Malcolm Allen Its not a bad thing to hate a liar, con man, hypocrite, adulterer, narcissist, sociopath, and someone that has known ties to the mafia for decades.

  2. “Society is a fragile ecosystem. Razzle and dazzle people with the right lies, and eventually they’ll go blind to the madness right in front of their faces” twilight zone shouldn’t be making sense right now.

    1. Where is Joe Biden? We need his wisdom, great mind, compassion at ghis time…..Anyone seen Joe?

    2. @Master Temple oh no we just need to listen to good old Donny boy here talk in circles finger-pointing and basically meander nonsensically.

  3. When the governors open the states and people start getting infected and die , trump will point his fingers at them and say they are totally responsible. But if everything is ok and people are back to work, trump will crow on the rooftops that it was all his genius that the economy has been safe so please vote for him for another 4 yrs of misery.

    1. @Tom Hublot , why I sure and shoot in did go to that there kinergarden. I’m like Jethro, I gradiated 6th grade. Was no. 17 in a class of 19. Not 2 bad huh.

    2. CL8ON J Haha yes what about yourself, were you abused as a child? Can you point on the doll 🚶were daddy’s likes touching you.

    1. @Mister Sinister 40,000 Americans dead after he said “It will be miraculously gone by April”
      Who is the fool??

    2. @Ed Janiszewski please read about the fact that Cuomo mixed infected people with nursing home residents, then refused to utilize the USNS comfort. Disgusting. Indict that clown now! He is a disgrace to Italian Americans.

  4. Trump takes no responsibility for anything. Anything including the 6 times he’s filed bank rup or your life .

    1. If he has no responsibility for the failures he cannot claim responsibility for other peoples successes. What he does is put other people in positions of responsibility and then blames them when things go south when he in fact has not done his share to see the success.

  5. *Who else just randomly decided to watch this after the Coronavirus pandemic?*

  6. 2019: Stay away from negative people.
    2020: Stay away from positive people!
