  1. Trump continues: “Therefore this person’s death was unimportant. Nothing to see here. I’m doing a great job. Invest in the stock market.”

    1. They were a never Trumper, nothing but a Democrat hoax. This is the Presidents mindset as the world and America faces a global pandemic.

    1. In Germany the news were that a man died… Anyway, kind regards and stay save!!!

    1. @Freedom & Liberty Bot how much is your life and those of your family worth because that’s what you’re peddling with your Democrat hoax, fake news BS.

    2. @Nashville Dude and flu dead rate is 0.1%. See the different yet? How about you try it out and see how it goes

    3. @Bono Budju …. January 7, 2020, a new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) was isolated in Wuhan China.
      January 31, 2020, President Trump had declared a public health emergency and began restricting U.S. access to non-citizens from China. (24-days)

      Though he lamented being called a “racist” for doing so, Trump says if he hadn’t hardened the U.S. borders at that point, the virus would have had ‘gained a bigger foothold in our country.’

      Flashback ~ In April of 2009, the H1N1 The swine-origin influenza -A (H1N1) virus became a pandemic.

      But it wasn’t until SIX MONTHS LATER, October, that then-President Obama declared a public health emergency on what was ALREADY A PANDEMIC!
      By that time, the disease had ‘infected MILLIONS of Americans’ and more than 1,000 people had died in the U.S.

      CNN reported at the time:
      “Since the H1N1 flu pandemic began in April, millions of people in the United States have been infected, at least 20,000 have been hospitalized and more than 1,000 have died,“ said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

      By mid-March 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that about 59 million Americans contracted the H1N1 virus, 265,000 were hospitalized as a result, and 12,000 died.

      Every time the Left tries to make Trump look bad on this issue they’re found to be frauds.
      And now we have confirmed cases in Mexico with a still wide open Democrats open borders…

      Now, about that “racist” wall….

  2. “Healthy people, will uh…probably go through a process and you will probably be healthy.” The best words.

    1. @Robert Muckle “Indeed…including the young healthy whistleblower doctor!!” Yes, that would be Dr Li, who was otherwise healthy.

    1. ​@blank name – He was referring to the blame on himself when it was China that let this get out of hand. He wasn’t saying the virus itself is a hoax.

      You idiots choose to believe the craziest BS.

    2. @NatarisX – He was referring to the blame on himself when it was China that let this get out of hand. He wasn’t saying the virus itself is a hoax.
      You idiots choose to believe the craziest BS.

  3. “If you’re healthy, you’ll probably go through a process… then you’ll be fine…”??? WTF???🙀 Stop patting yourself on the back, and give us some REAL information and data!

    1. @We are In decline there’s no cure, what medical attention did these otherwise healthy people miss out on? If you listen to what trump said, it was grossly inaccurate.

    2. @codent Medical support, intensive care etc. I can careless about what Trump, Pelosi, or any other politician has to say about the virus.

    1. @science wins We have 22 patients in the United States currently that have coronavirus. Unfortunately, one patient passed away overnight,” Trump said. But as ABC News confirmed, the latest number is 66 cases of coronavirus in the U.S

    2. @science wins Trump addresses the nation after 1st known coronavirus death in US confirmedThe president speaks out about the first coronavirus death and the more than 60 confirmed cases in the United States.Carolyn Kaster/AP

    3. @science wins I have shown you a grown adult evidence even though I understand your opinion and see your opinion. It is incorrect. It’s not for me to correct your statement. It rests on you as a human being to make public statement correct. Otherwise who will take you seriously. I’m from the UK. I don’t care about the politics in America. I speak facts not opinions.

    4. @science wins There is no mention of donald trump saying fifteen. He said twenty two. The remaining infected have arrived in the United States from wuhan under strict isolation.

    1. Ferret Face they had one but they sold their brain to the media their souls to satan and their votes to enemies of America
      Sad

  4. He still has to pat himself in the back even though he just announced the death of a corona virus patient. Classy!!!

    1. Felipe Diaz
      I though the same. Notice that he doesn’t have the medical experts like Dr. Fauci address the public anymore since they tell the truth. He has been silence and is now being used as window dressing. Btw, Trump is still lying about the number infected. It’s around 62, not 22, even before he gave this news conference

    2. @Rain Walker you do realize he says the number infected by the information he gets right? He wasn’t making it up

  5. Wait … he was just saying at one point that this was a “Dem Hoax”…. it took a death in the US for him NOW want to or probably do something. He’s so full of it.

    1. They were a never Trumper, just another Democrat hoax, they only died because they were trying to bring down the President. This is the mindset of the President. God help us all 🙏

    2. Nikki evans, They were doing things before this woman’s death. They are still learning things about this virus and doing everything that they can to prevent the spread of this disease.

    1. @zephiro l but still we can’t be too sure. There have been cases of perfectly healthy people that died. Like that whistle blower doctor in China. They said he had no health issues prior to the virus.

    2. @zephiro l no, Trump should have not word anything about what he has no knowledge of, leave it to the health professionals.

      Trump won’t let the health professionals speak because they’ll tell more than the health precautionary measures.

      Trump made drastic cuts to the EPA, USDA and CDC back in 2017

      Research it, you’ll find it and should be angry about it. Trump is gambling and plays Russian roulette with our lives by his small talks. It’s okay for people with pre-existing health issues to die from this virus attack, as if, their lives didn’t matter. But, don’t worry healthy people, you won’t be that affected by coronavirus.

      WHAT A DUMB, OLD, FART!
      TRUMP EVEN SOUND AND LOOK LIKE HE CAUGHT THE VIRUS

    3. @L S – Oh look, another completely private profile made after the 2016 election clearly made to stir a divide. What country are you from little buddy?
