The president continued to deflect blame over his administration's response to the coronavirus outbreak noting that if less than 100,000 people die in America, then it's a job well done. Aired on 04/08/2020.

Trump: If Under 100,000 Americans Die From Coronavirus We've Done A Good Job | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
R.I.P. to all the people who have passed away. My condolences to their friends and family
@A-Borgia yeah and italy Made hugging campaign….smart move
@Shawn St. John Let’s call that a misinformed statement. Firstly, every president relies on their advisors. Dr. Fauci advised a much earlier, much more drastic response than Trump initiated, and actually Trump dragged his heels initiating what he did. Also the fact that Trump talked of a hope that the social distancing would end by Easter was not only unrealistic (nice to wish upon a star like that, but unrealistic nonetheless), but irresponsible–now many people who are following his advice are having Easter get-togethers (I’ve been told this by someone who is hosting such a get-together) and exposing themselves to infection. What I can say in his favor, though, is that he has *finally* adopted some sane policies regarding COVID-19. But when this is over, we’ll see how much damage has been done his early rhetoric claiming that it was like the flu (which can be deadly, but its deaths are more preventable with vaccination of all those who can get vaccinated, and with early care of infected persons) instead of the ruthless–and rapid–killing machine that it is. I sincerely hope that the entire nation takes this seriously. ❤
@CellularInterceptor A projection based on, “if we do nothing,” which of course we would take action!
@Shawn St. John Zzzzzzzzzzz
A man of respect ,a man of much9 consideration of his fellow man.Thank you sir for stepping up with my full respect. I as well would like to also send my condolences.To all the people who passed during these hard times …

@Cory Palmer if black means WHITE 🤨
Then two Blacks make ☕ black coffee
Half black and White makes vanilla chia tea.
Lots of extra extra extra extra black coffee with just a little WHITE milk you get Albino.
You got it now 😁
@Cory Palmer Cory Palmer by Nations, he was referring to the different empire sand Egyptian tribes that were in control of the different parts of Egypt at the time, such as the romans.
Furthermore, that was in the old testament.
In the new testament there are these beautiful verses.
This is my commandment, that ye love one another, even as I have loved you. (John 15:12)
Do not take revenge on others or continue to hate them, but love your neighbors as you love yourself. I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:18)
To conclude: you must all have the same attitude and the same feelings; love one another, and be kind and humble with one another. Do not pay back evil with evil or cursing with cursing; instead, pay back with a blessing, because a blessing is what God promised to give you when he called you. (1 Peter 3:8-9)
Now if your done with your incessant and clearly autistic behavior, I think you should go to church, because you need god.
@Hanago yesssss honnneyyyy come through that what I’m talking about 💃💃💃
@Jake Hildebrand Still the question is there answer it.
@Dulcelina Cabral lol

We have just as much before you before the bible.
@mark p oh my I have had the flu many times. Why have I and others survived? Because of our scientific funded research.
@shera shera what? thank you for saying bs. On my name. I matter to you lol.you don’t matter to me.
I live in NY. Stop blaming Trump. I blame Cuomo. Cuomo was the one to keep our airports open to spread further disease. Trump tried to block it but democrats labeled him as Xenophobic and racists. Cuomo misspent the money on abortions instead of ventilators for NYC… then asking for govt. help. Cuomo was the one who stopped funding for the anti malarial drug and the HIV drugs to fight against Covid 19, which is why it is now so widespread. South Korea did everything that Trump tried to do.. they closed borders, the quarantined Chinese people entering their country and they gave money for research for these drugs… Democrats SPREAD THE DISEASE FURTHER… Furthermore, most democrats are already bought and paid for by the CCP. As a Trumper, this doesn’t hurt me… I have been in NYC and I have heard Cuomo lie as say there are no ventilators only to found out he hoarded 1,000 of them. AND NEW YORK HAS ONE OF THE CLOSEST THINGS TO GOVT. HEALTHCARE AND IT SUCKS!

If everybody dies except him he still would have thought he did a tremendous job.
@I am not a sheep Truthoverlies Unpreparedness
True
JP Pierre 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯 frightening and more frustrating is his flock of 🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏
It’s everyone for themselves
@I am not a sheep Truthoverlies Ok, I’ll Xerox it on a copying machine and mail that to him!
Biden isn’t my first choice but I’ll vote for him to get this Man child out of office 🤦♂️
@lairdriver yes Biden has been accused of sexual misconduct, Tara Reade, the DNC hide this during the primary, now it will be ammunition for Trump
Yeah… wonder why OBAMA ISN’T ENDORSING BIDEN…. because he knows something you don’t.. even though Biden was his vice president.
@lairdriver So was Kavanaugh…. what happened to his accusers and why they never went through with the charges?
@lairdriver Being accused is one thing being accused and having any REAL creditable amount of evidence is another. So lairdriver you want to tell us about your sexual misconduct? See how that works
@Boyd Shhh…quite druggie no one asked you.
“We’ve done a great job”. Nearly a third of the worlds cases are in the US alone.
Kevin Cosgrove well South Korea and Taiwan have done the best job in containing the virus even tho they are close to China, and China the source itself has only 85k cases and 95% of them already recovered but the us is very late and careless to reduce the spread although it’s not a third world country
@shadi sm yet
I think credits go to china for covering up to all of our politicians who have made the US so open to the 3rd world countries.
Your right… But we also have the largest population. Percentage wise… ” per capita ” we are the lowest hit except for Germany. Know your facts before you speak
@Big Ugly Not sure who are you replying to, or what’s your point you are trying to make. What facts you are talking about, the Chinese covering up or to the US politicians who opened us to the 3rd world to enrich us with cheap labor and cultures that we are not very fond of? What “percentage wise” got to do with Chinese poor hygiene, generating the world within 10 years with 2 different deadly SAR-family viruses,? Are you talking about the facts of China not respecting human rights, or eating raw bats, rats, cooking alive dogs and other animals? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2voAYkH7rUo
Nice try to derail the point!
And trump didn’t act quickly. What a scam artist.
Hey, you can fix stupid by reading and learning truth and facts…heres the covid timeline…read it and let all us stupid people know what trump could have done differently…. Here’s the timeline of what happened — all of this BEFORE we had even one death in the U.S.:
1/6 CDC issues travel advisory for Wuhan.
1/11 CDC tweets about corona related “pneumonia outbreak in China”
1/14 WHO tweets that there is no evidence of human to human transmission.
1/17 CDC started doing health screenings at 3 airports of travelers from China.
1/21 first case in US for someone who traveled directly from Wuhan.
1/23 WHO again says no human to human transmission outside of China.
1/27 WHO raises alert level but is still saying China has it contained.
1/28 CDC states “ While CDC considers covid a serious situation and is taking preparedness measures, the immediate risk in the US is considered low.”
1/29 White House announces Coronavirus Task Force created. Note – this is despite the WHO downplaying the threat.
1/30 CNN lead story: “World leaders and protesters around the globe are speaking out against the Trump administration’s travel ban.
1/31 Trump declares national health emergency; bans travel from China. Media and multiple Democrats slam his decision calling it racist/xenophobic and unnecessary.
2/2 First case of the Wuhan virus OUTSIDE of China (it was in the Philippines) — two days AFTER President Trump declared a national health emergency.
2/5 Trump acquitted (impeachment).
2/5 Chuck Schumer in a tweet continues to call Trumps’ travel ban from China “premature.”
2/7 White House’s Coronavirus Task Force gives press briefing.

2/24 Trump sent letter to Congress asking for $25B for virus effort.
2/24 Nancy Pelosi made a stop in Chinatown and encouraged people to “please come and visit and enjoy Chinatown.”
2/25 There is still no reported community spread in the US (Per CDC tweet.)
2/27 first community transmission reported in US.
2/27 Trump appoints Pence to coordinate efforts.
2/29 FIRST REPORTED COVID-19 DEATH IN THE U.S.
and still:
3/5 DeBlasio rides the NY subway and encourages New Yorkers to continue life as usual… And look at the state of the pandemic in New York City…
3/13 President Trump declares a national emergency……… Tell me how he didnt act quickly again…. Moron
Brian Williams listens to Trump and says, “In the real world…” Straight faced.
I remember someone saying that we dont need to worry about the virus, because it will just disappear in april
No that was fake news, we didn’t hear we imagined we heard that 🤦♀️
I think its going to come in multiple waves. Some are already saying this. Over the next 2-3 years
“A good job?’. WTF? These are human lives not numbers on a graph. Every single life is precious if you are a humane member of society.
@Marie Diana
Right ,the point that i was trying to make is upon conception there is life
No one has right to end life but He who Created lfe,,, God whether its 1 or 600000 a year.
Mimi Stern My comment is only a reply to yours which is on the main page, plus mine is far down where nobody will ever see it anyway so that’s only logical. Doesn’t surprise me that you lack critical thinking skills though, but the fact that you just admitted to measuring yourself based on the number of upvotes you get by strangers on the Internet made me laugh so hard I almost peed in my pants a little. Congratulations, I hope you sleep well this evening reveling in pride over the handful of strangers who gave you a few seconds of attention online. Finally somebody really cares about you and your opinions! Surely your mental illness shall soon be cured. LOL
@EoWKen You need to go troll someone else..because I don’t want you trolling me anymore.Go find someone that actually gives a $hit about what you have to say. I do not. You sound like a sad little pathetic nobody.
@Mimi Stern Not to deflect….informing you of the entire spectrum not just what you think you see.
@Gabriel Steele”I was also accidentally born white.” — Laughs in your stupidity….made it about race didn’t yeah..you just lost any point you were trying to make.
The curve is slowing because the people he should have to save just died
and only several hundred thousand lives to go for them to have done a good job…..

Trump: “get back to work”
Me: “but I’m dead”
Trump: “no that’s fake news”
@Justice Knight Right. The people already dead before all this started are lucky they aren’t dealing with this. They should be mourning us instead.
Trump iz fake news thats what nobody understand
Mocking the deceased, are we?
@School Of Justice one two three viva …..?
You are not dead but alive in the name of Jesus I bless you
I have just realized that American leaders were not only the enemy of the world but also the enemy of their own people. What ashame.
As a born-and-raised American I can agree for the most part. We had a good shot to stem this and we didn’t. It wasn’t in Trumps best interest so the people die by the truckload. Hundreds of thousands of relatives are morning loved ones! No wonder the Left Wingers are buying assault weapons!
Yep, you’re right. Been true for many years.
Not long ago I used to say I live in the safest country but, now I think this country is the last safest place in the world!
Every time he open his mouth he’s lying
Wendell Olden Exactly! How people can’t see that? Smh
Do he 🍸? This is the only way I can kind of make sense of what he say. 🤦♀️
Wendell Olden can’t stand him. Huge mistake by America.
Andy Kline the only mistake is that so many people believe him!
@Andy Kline No, huge mistake by the Govt. Hillary was supposed to win. Americans didn’t want to see a woman running the country. She could’ve done no worse than him.
if no one would’ve died that’ll be successful .[anyone with sense]
I can think of one person that would have died it would have been successful
o’course he feels this way he is a Narcissist.
He definitely is@Tay
Yeah, he thinks he’s doing a good job at wiping away citizens, so I guess he’s right…he’s the most evil man.
Wiping away citizens? Seriously?
Yes, she is serious. Child minded democrats believe that Brian Williams is a truthful man, that in and of itself is laughable. They also believe that Trump caused this virus that originated in China. But if Trump says China he is a Nazi? These democrat children can be a little hard to take serious. Trump will win the next election and these people will come fully unhinged.
We’re gonna need some Chinese made head meds…
What do you think .Will he be a president again
Just think of how many lives we could’ve saved if you would have begun in January when you receive the intelligence about the virus
He got it in November 2019
That’s what I’m saying…
We the most supposed to the most powerful country in the world , he out here trying to make America racist again INSTEAD OF MAKING IT GREAT FOR THE 1ST TIME IN HISTORY, HE COULD HAVE BROUGHT THIS COUNTRY TOGETHER INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO SEPARATE US AT A TIME WE NEED EACH OTHER THE MOST
@Sheree Robertson yes people keep it real he wants a race war and I’m down are you?!?!!
@Michael Rodriguez I ain’t going so if they going to let the DEVIL use them I’m going to let the DEVIL use me TOO……. 👿😈👺👹👿😈
“I didn’t see the memo but people were shocked that I acted so quickly.”
It’s hard to know whether to laugh in amazement or projective vomit.
(Maybe both would be appropriate.). 😂 ….. 🤮 ….. 😂 ….. 🤮 …. 😂….. 🤮
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Actually it’s “PROJECTILE VOMIT” BUT IT’S TOTALLY ACCURATE AND HYSTERICALLY FUNNY — BUT SAD.
I’ve done a little bit of both. He’s so shameful.
I have had the urge to projectile vomit on more than one occasion listening to Trump.
So in other words, the people around you are also idiots, by not making sure you knew it?
Mostly vomiting. He didn’t even understand not reading a memo is bad and took the opportunity to congratulate himself on ignoring it.
‘aspirationally” we would ALL like to go back to work!
“aspirationally’ I would like to kick him out of the White House with a BIG BANG.
