    1. @Nathan S neither pence nor any of the cabinet are going to enact the 25th. I doubt if getting pence would change anything. Push your congressional delegations to do more than they are. public conversation bites them faster.

    2. @Eric Graham You can regurgitate your moronic right wing talking points all you want. People with functioning brain cells see this orange clown for what he is–a menace, a fool, an incompetent buffoon who will doom hundreds of thousands of people to death. You call yourself a party of life? Please. You and people like you are zombies worshipping at the alter of failure. The US is the epicenter of this pandemic because of the Trump administration. Your refusal to see this only means that you are one of the people Trump referred to when he said he could shoot someone on 5th Ave and his supporters would still be with him. You’re blind.

    1. @R L T he’s going to lose by the biggest landslide in US history – everybody now knows what a disaster he is, and if you don’t, you’re just blind to reality

  1. Seriously why is he still in charge of anything… This is beyond absurd now… Mad king donnie is demanding a oath of fealty

    1. Kenny I have a low IQ just like Donald Trump if I was in his position I have enough sense to listen to the doctors the scientist the mayor of different states in the bailout money 500 million would have went to the hospital’s

  2. He’s facilitating a PPE bidding war between the states to further enrich the shareholder class.

    This is class warfare & he’s killing people for money, prestige & power.

  3. If I hear the words “great” and “perfect” come out of his mouth one more time I’m going to puke.

    1. For your sake I hope you stopped watching. I could not take it any more the all out lies he tells. The arguing with the press saying they should tell him what a wonderful job he is doing. It is sick. He can’t do his job cause his feelings get hurt. He should be able to talk to leaders regardless of his feelings but because his feelings get hurt he can’t do his job; while casting blame on everyone else.

    1. Cube Root This is all the fault of elite globalists Democrats and Obama who have tied us up with China so much over the years.

    2. Candian here, “Make America Great Again”
      America has always been great!!! It’s the leadership at the top that has failed.

      How many times does Trump have to pat himself on the back. What a nut job.

    3. CDNUSER Exactly – years of ineffective globalist politicians bowing to China and now they have released the Corona virus onto dumbed down westerners. They should have let Trump build the wall and close the border. Liberalism is causing insanity

    4. @Ray S Europe: In a nutshell my American friend: TRUMP IS A NARCISTICAL NUT!!!!
      He blames EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY for EVERYTHING what goes and went wrong! . EVERYTHING! :
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KY83kAepHE
      And if you still not get that! you need a lobotomy!!!
      Dumb and Dumber are Einstein’s compared to those morons who still believe him!

    1. In Late February, Nancy Pelosi Encouraged Large Groups to Congregate in Chinatown
      Yet blamed Trump’s early “denial” for spread of coronavirus.

    2. @R D Saw the all inclusive list above. Thanks for the history. Good info. Guess I was thinking ‘Orange Julius’.

    3. @R D I want to hear more from you. They make it seem like Florida is doing so great, like only New York and Louisiana are doing bad. I worry about Florida often. So please tell me more. Thank you to your daughter who is a nurse God bless the nurses and doctors of this country. I will say a little prayer for her safety.

    4. @Joyce Davis Florida is having different areas peak at different times. Estimates overall say between April 20 – mid May . That leak datr seems to be moved to a later date South Florida is improving while major cities like Tampa are seeing increases. Ga is not doing a great job at this time with their semi shutdown so the C-vid is moving south from Ga while it is also moving northward from South ga . The NE corner of Florida is showing increase. of cases. We left our beaches and. Large tourism attractions open till around March 13, I can tell you that I am worried too. There is. A strong push for businesses to open asap because Florida’s income is based on tourism . Right now there are plenty of beds open in metropolitan areas . This is bad . Estimates say 5k -7k deaths . I am hoping for less. It does appear that we will be running low on ventilators within a few weeks but that could change . Do not worry , the best thing to do is stay inside if you can,. Do what you can to help your neighbors or community. Stay safe . Hope tempered with science enquiry that you do on your own can be comforting . I. Can tell you that states that have several military bases might be in a better position than those that do not.. Better to be over-prepared than the opposite. Be well.

    5. @R D thanks for your detailed reply it was quite more than I expected. I live in Texas so we’ve been home along time. I am doing my best to shelter in place because the thought of me accidentally killing someone is too much to bear.

  4. “Don’t call the governor of Washington.” When will this nightmare hurry up and be over on Election Day? I answered my own question. Thank you all for your support. 😐

    1. the democrats refuse too speak up with anything of substance time after time … the republicans wouldnt think twice on any on doing so if this was vice versa … they better have that on repeat playing in state aftr state , back to back

    2. To be fair WA governor is trash ask the people of WA their is a lack of leadership at state level sorry lady

    1. Agree! I read last year he was in talks about a ‘Presidental Apprentice’ show for when he leaves. The media & the perception of him is all he cares about, oh, & $$$ of course.

    2. Aaron Davidson exactly! He acts like this is all just a game, and doesn’t realize (or care) that he’s playing with people’s lives!

  5. can we have an ad if him telling pence not to call “”the woman in michigan” in the middle of. pandemic response. play in loop in MI u til
    Nov 04

    1. cry babies like you who scream racism and sexism at every turn are why trump won and why he will win again. I’m not even trying to hate I’m just being honest.. If he goes at it about Bernie or Joe… crickets… Goes at it with white reporter.. nothing… goes at it about Michigan lady and OMG SOOO SEXEST WAH WAH WAAAH HOW DARE HE. If he says anything about a black person then its OH GOD RACIST AT IT AGAIN

      He literally treats everyone the same and everyone as equals, but you sissys never care when it’s with a white man.

      You need to wake up and stop playing every little card.

      you also make women and minorities seem very weak and incumbent when you cry foul everytime something is said about them.

      thought people would wake up and realise that cry baby victim stuff doesn’t work after the 2016 election but here we are

      enjoy the Trump landslide in 2020

  6. “We have done a job the likes which nobody has seen “
    Ha ha ha !
    Once in awhile the truth comes out, unintentionally. 😉

    1. Ryan Scott you got it 100% correct and they are robbing exactly $5.7 trillions while screaming over $600/week or month extra for unemployed who pay these $$$$trillions in (looted) taxes in the first place – national debts are now at ~$29.5 trillions

    2. A 100% true statement… the enabler of Republican con-artist robbing thieves who don’t give a Flying “F” what he does as President as long as he passes Legislation allowing them to steal from middle and lower class hard working Americans with impunity.

  7. He wants the governors to fall on their knees and praise him like he’s Kim Jong Un. That’s what he wants.

    1. Leonie Romanes
      I saw an interview with Trump is which he expressed admiration for how the people of North Korea would stand up on demand for Kim Jong Un and how he wished the American people would do that for him. Literally, in his own words. Trump is a tin pot dictator wannabe.

    2. @keir farnum yep, he wants the “adulation” a Stalinist style dictator gets from their terrified people. Most Americans have been free for too long to give Trump what he craves. His cult choose to worship him for now. But I suspect they will abandon him, once he’s no longer in power.

    1. Crono and, just simple googling, I found building in New Orlean and Washington collapsing, so what is your point?

    1. He shifts the burden of truth when attempting to tell the truth, gulps, then chokes, and He will blame everyone else. About a tiny virus where much is to be done and little known. He said all he needed to for my ears on March 13, 2020, Trump: “I don’t take responsibility at all”.

  8. Jan 20: “I know more about viruses than anyone.”
    Jan 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
    Feb 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
    Feb 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
    Feb 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
    Feb 25: “I think that’s a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
    Feb 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
    Feb 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
    Feb 28: “We’re ordering a lot of supplies. We’re ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn’t be ordering unless it was something like this. But we’re ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
    Mar 4: “Now, this is just my hunch, but based on a lot of conversations with a lot of people that do this, because a lot of people will have this and it is very mild… So if, you know, we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better and then, when you do have a death like you had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York, you know, all of a sudden it seems like 3 or 4 percent, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1 percent.”
    Mar 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
    Mar 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it … Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
    Mar 6: “I don’t need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”
    Mar 7: “Anyone who wants a test can get one”…. lols and he wants praise????

    1. In Late February, Nancy Pelosi Encouraged Large Groups to Congregate in Chinatown
      Yet blamed Trump’s early “denial” for spread of coronavirus.

    2. @Jason Gong – On March 7, he corrected himself and said “Anyone who *needs* a test can get one”. Why not quote the latter?

    3. Trump never said ” I know more about viruses than anyone.” The first instance for that phrase was someone on Twitter that wrote, “I’m waiting for him to say …”. But you people that don’t care about the truth just keep copying and pasting lies. Should we fact check the rest, or assume those are lies, too? Do you really want to be known as a liar? FYI, I didn’t vote for Trump.

    1. In Late February, Nancy Pelosi Encouraged Large Groups to Congregate in Chinatown
      Yet blamed Trump’s early “denial” for spread of coronavirus.

    2. @Apoc414 pelosi isnt the leader of this country. Your failed orange-trash leader has had ample opportunity to do something about thus outbreak, yet did nothing. Its almost as if he wants Americans to die.

    3. @Apoc414 I keep reading your comment about what Nancy did, but is she the President of the U.S.? Maybe you just think she should be since you are overlooking the person in charge to cast blame on the person in charge of the House that is not the whole of America. Meanwhile DT goes out and lie and yell at reporters like he lost his mind. He can’t take a responsibility like a true leader should.

    4. @lt118436572 I think he doesn’t care about Americans he cares about his precious economy and unemployment rates. He spent three years saying how wonderful he was because of the economy. So if the economy goes down what does he have to show the American people that he did for three years. Matter of fact he felt like he could do or say anything to anyone cause the numbers made him invincible like that perfect call.

  9. He doesn’t even offer his condolences to the victims families, yet he has positive approval ratings. I think we’re witnessing the decline of the American empire. Thanks, Moscow Mitch!
