    1. @Sue Howie listen to david brooks talk about how trump supporters are in an emotional state that you can’t talk them out of, pbs friday news.

    2. @Van Hoa Phan For many it’s not their fault. They trusted Fox News and were vastly misled. Lying on the news used to be illegal. Fox got that overturned. We need to put it back.

  1. If you ever want to see how NOT to put out a fire on an aircraft carrier deck, watch the USS Forestal footage. Or the last 4 years.

  2. *”If only one man dies of hunger, that is a tragedy. If millions die, that’s only statistics” — Stalin*

    That’s where we’re at with this pandemic & the trump “administration” …

    1. @Kristi Helton – since this went over your head, the relevance of the quote is not about hunger, but about the *indifference to mass pandemic deaths.*

    2. It didn’t “go over my head” it is a completely stupid comparison! Just like my response… The reality of what is actually happening has gone over the heads of many of the American people…it’s tragic. But, it’s been obvious that given the best opportunity the American people can’t even get it together enough to fix it. That’s not the president’s fault…it the fault of ALL Americans…both democratic and republican! Arguing over bits when there’s a whole pie on the table!

    3. @Richard Barber he’s sending food and correspondence every week here. Our entire town receive food. I honestly don’t know anyone who is not receiving it….I wasn’t trolling, I was just stating fact…are you saying you are not receiving anything?? We all get them here….

    4. @Kristi Helton NO! A PRESIDENT IS THE LEADER OF THE NATION. HE GETS THE BEST ADVICE FROM THE BEST SOURCES AND L E A D S the nation to the BEST outcome Possible. That requires commitment to something other than a golf score. Integrity, compassion, teamwork with EXPERTS, A MF PLAN and hard work. 5 things (of 500) responsible adult traits NOBODY EVER SAID IN THE SAME SENTENCE WITH the name of the Loooooser. Ever. Never.

    1. @Roman Ward latest news…massiv voter fraud in Texas and again in Florida…millions of ballots pro Biden where stolen and covered under a stone.

    2. Narcissist people haven’t the ability to have emotions like us normal people. Narc’s are pure evil, heartless, control freaks

  3. “It will disappear, one day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.” Words from an EPIC FAILURE who SURRENDERED to a pandemic and LOST the popular vote TWICE.

    1. They were all going back and forth – mask, no mask – etc – the covid numbers are probably counted by DOMINION software that rigged the election – I mean really, close down church, school, work all over the world – why the Mass HYsteria???

    2. It’s a Very Sad day in America 🇺🇸 when the Presidents job was to help ALL AMERICANS not just his zombie followers who pay money for his flags lol.

    3. @sonia julie mass Death is fine with you? Just because your fantasy big daddy ignores it, it doesn’t exist? Wow- don’t procreate. ByeDon 🖕

  4. Well, there’s being unable to drive and then there’s just deciding to drive the car into a wall to see what happens…

    1. @Margaret Jackson he’s personally provided food for me and my family… everyone in our town received full food boxes every single week! It is full of the best meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables and milk and other milk products like sour cream and yogurt….no one has had to sign up for it. It has been being delivered here since March…..we have all been provided with free covid-19 health care and have had cleaners and sanitizer provided. I don’t know where you live but we in our community have been completely provided for.

    1. We were prepared by President Obama, he even tried to brief Trump on what to do before Trump took office. Trump simply ignored the whole thing and lied.

    2. @adrian lee I began to have a very superficial interest in US politics back in 2016. I recall saying to my colleagues at work that I hoped trump wouldn’t become president because frankly, I didn’t like him. They reassured me that he would be unlikely to even win the republican primary. I watched in horror as the 2016 votes were counted. Since then I have watched from a distance. like being in the comfort of a movie theatre as the worst horror shows play before you. The period waiting to be sure Biden had won the election seemed to be months. Now, I am like 80 million American citizens, just hanging out until January 20, seeing Biden inaugurated and hopefully trump being forcibly removed, from the WH, just to give him more shame. I hope that soon the virus no longer dominates the country. Stay safe and best wishes for what should be a healthier and happier year.

  5. “Johns Hopkins is I guess a highly respected place”
    That right there says all you need to know. Mothertrucker doesn’t even know what Johns Hopkins is. smdh

    1. I couldn’t believe my ears 😨😨😨. You could clearly tell he doesn’t know the kind of institution that Johns Hopkins is. He’s so unbelievable it’s actually hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    2. Listening to trump is what you’d would expect from someone with a 4th grade education level, it’s unbelievable that the leader of a country can be so, incredibly ignorant.

    1. Stay at home as you get too sick to recover is not good enough !
      2800 more dead today in US …..There is a very real and effective treatment available that will save your life CDC, NIH , Fauchi and government don’t want you to know this all they want is to make you take the bigpharma vaccine
      Ask your senator and representative today why he/she is not making this known !
      Download this now ! The answer is so cheap and easy that it was suppressed to make big pharma money.

      Your right he would never say anything like that!

    1. @sonia julie Whatever you say, Comrade. Just like Trump you’re making things up and using keywords like just like him. “Guns, God, and Hair”. You Russian Trolls are almost like bots.

  6. Rated #1, most prepared, best resources,… and yet….. The wrong person showed up for the job. 🤔
    And lots of people died…

    1. Said another way, even with the single best prepared country in the world, they’ve cocked it up so badly that a quarter million and counting people are dead and the economy (outside of the trillions pumped into the stock market) is a wreck.

  7. “Don the Con” has been the worst president in American history…Roll on January 20th, can’t come soon enough… 😉

    1. @jadawin01 Biden will NEVER become our president by fraud. And if you are an American that cares about America (left, right, or center) you SHOULD care about this too. We will NOT have an illegitimate president puppet put in by CCP fraud! How “scary” is that?

    1. that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

    2. is that fair Amaziah? After all children have a reason why they are immature and TEND to grow up a lot in later years…
