Trump Lauds COVID-19 Response Amid Reports Of Dire Situations In Hospitals | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. Incompetence president made us miss the moment that could stop this pandemic in the country.

    Trump lies, people die.

    1. Trump was liking the fact that the virus hit democratic cities like Washington and California. Then it hits Florida and trump then gets serious. What a complete incompetent failure trump is.

    2. This is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job.. I listen mainly to the Michele berry show and the Rush Limbaugh show and they praise him 24/7 all I hear about is how great of a job he is doing.. guess it just depends on who you listen to but I really felt they were trying get to make him look bad here and taking things out of context and kind of leading the viewer’s of this in the direction of making him look bad.. but what do I know.. but if you have time I’d ask you to watch some Michael berry or Rush Limbaugh.. if for no other reason then to see what it’s like when someone is trying to do the opposite of what I feel was done in this video…

  2. US has enough nukes to destroy the world but does not have any PPE, ventilators , doctors , medical equipment to protect it’s own people..

    1. @Jean Dougherty im 55..and i have seen the dems hate every day now..its been 3 years and the same big mouth dems has tried every scam and smear they can to end trumps prez.. sorry you got to prove trump is bad..we dont care for talking points that you have no proof of.. we want truth and facts.. trump keeps winning as the dems and their fake news just crying every day

    2. @Jean Dougherty you blame every thing bad on one person.. when you dems dont take your own blames.. you dems dont want wall or protections.. now you get what you ask for.. hello mr.virus

    3. Nukes don’t exist. They were a failed research project of the Germans and Japanese. The Germans did not even consider them very useful. They had much more terrifying weapons in development such as fuel air bombs.

    4. Scott O’Keeffe they sealed people in their apartments, shot others & left other helpless people to die. Yes they protected their people. Had shelter in place been enacted prior to Chinese New Year we wouldn’t be where we are now.

    5. @Scott O’Keeffe
      You do realize that China is almost constantly battling some virus or bacteria right?

      With their experience, and having a VERY good understanding of how easily things in animals can mutate to infect humans, and knowing how so many of their people come into close contact with all kinds of animals on the regular, they really should have been more prepared and able to do MUCH better than they did.

      Bit

    1. @Vu Ho Trump called it a hoax while he flattered HIMSELF before the media. He then played the victim. ” They are spreading rumors to make ME look bad”. During this very time ‘information’ regarding this virus was being circulated around the world. Too bad he got rid of the various medical and science departments we had in place to handle a crisis such as this.

  3. He keep saying Easter it’s not happen smh this thing is not done. children in my state are out until may. The 4 days waiting for a test results it’s too long

  4. I don’t think the virus has peaked yet because of all those stupid idiots on spring break in Florida has two weeks to get it back to their house and give it to their parents and grandparents

    1. I was thinking the same thing. Florida is going to be hit really hard soon…only a matter of time before the death count starts rising rapidly there.

    2. @Cupcakes Yum Think on this, it is so much more contagious than the annual flu bugs which Trump has tried to compare it to. He should have got his accountants to explain the harsh mathematics to him. One person has the potential to spread it to 3 more people, those 3 people then infect 9 more, those 9 then to 27 others. After the 10th generation of that process that first person could be responsible for 59,000 more infections. Then think about those crowded Florida beaches, and the idiots still going to see the apple blossom in Washington.

    1. Agent Eyes007 because the numbers aren’t where he wants them and numbers don’t lie. 15 cases soon down to 5 and down to zero pretty soon. He doesn’t care about people’s lives lost. POTUS is responsible for whatever happens on his watch and that’s the bottom line.

    2. Agent Eyes007 he wants to wait till we’re number 1 in every column. He can say we’re on top of every statistic so we’re winning the wonderful virus race the race is perfect I would give us a 10 out of 10 an incredible job we did on the people

    1. @STOP.musick I could only guess. There have been widespread calls for government intervention. The shutdown is also something that hasn’t been seen in a very long time if ever in the US. The economy has effectively shut down, many people have lost their jobs and some economists predict a recession. This is all going to come into play during the US Election of 2020. I predict it might be possible that public opinion shifts towards stronger government intervention policies and possibly candidates who favor such policies.

    2. @everlastingauraX I think it’ll be very interesting to see how this affects the election. It’ll be fresh on everyone’s minds. I have a feeling this will lead us into a hard recession, but I’m certainly not the most educated on economics. I wonder how states will lean, given the assistance or lack thereof from the current administration during all this, not to mention where will grants and funding be placed in the aftermath.

    3. @S Woods
      S Woods,
      Your getting lost ! You must be hotter than tea!
      Try puzzle factory. Maybe poor Edward Servis!
      Error 503— 304 server scrambled alot.

    1. You can kick a president out of the white house? Wow and Obama was there for 8 years? I didn’t know you can do this.

    2. lewis  the elites make articles like that to get him outta office because hes anti illuminati man , cant believe everything u read . He is shutting down criminals an there trying to give him bad reap

    1. yeah, I was thinking about the same thing. Advertisments are still showing because companies formed certain contracts with the owners of the displays 😛

    2. Shutting down signs is alot more difficult in NYC because of its electric system being too complicated both from the practical and municipal level

    3. @tRumpet troll Killer Advertisers could do the patriotic thing and donate that money to charities or medical facilities. Let’s remember what these companies do.

  5. STUPIDITY AT ITS MAX. ITS NOT ABOUT TRUMPS RE-ELECTION..IT ABOUT COVID 19 AND THE SAFETY OF HUMAN BEINGS

    1. That’s unfortunately the same for Washington states and California, also Illinois. Covid-19 is a dem’s hoax and a plot of the lame liberal media to take him down. What a BS! We’re talking here of a presidential leadership to save American lives whether they voted for him or not.

    2. This is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job.. I listen mainly to the Michele berry show and the Rush Limbaugh show and they praise him 24/7 all I hear about is how great of a job he is doing.. guess it just depends on who you listen to but I really felt they were trying get to make him look bad here and taking things out of context and kind of leading the viewer’s of this in the direction of making him look bad.. but what do I know.. but if you have time I’d ask you to watch some Michael berry or Rush Limbaugh.. if for no other reason then to see what it’s like when someone is trying to do the opposite of what I feel was done in this video…

    3. @John Lacy
      John Lacy,
      I would suppose it’s all relative. How many videos have you watched or where you get your information from, which you already stated. I like to play Devils advocate and get my information and draw my conclusions from many sources including the actions of past Presidents and other world leaders past and present. I don’t depend on what others say or think. There are MANY people that want him gone, not only because of his many faulty decisions and comments but also of HIS past actions including the treatment of women. How many presidents have you heard say women like having their privates grabed? Or similar stories from other women? I mention this only as the tip of the iceberg of the anomalous way he thinks.
      He seems to have a very low self esteem. If you would take notice Mr. Trump qualifies most of his statements and accomplishments with the words, strong, very strong, strongly, beautiful and so on. I think this is the wrong forum to debate ANYTHING so I leave you with this adage. A man with only a hammer in his tool box sees only nails.

  6. Trump only deployed the travel ban with China as a bargaining counter for his Trade Talks. He had no idea about the threat of the virus. Three weeks later he called it a hoax.

    1. I understand that when he claims as a stable genius, he was referring to his uncle who graduated from MIT. 😂😂

  7. Reading off a sheet is a real task for this dumb man. He is way over his head. We need a real leader to coordinate all efforts in fighting this virus

    1. Irma L > We need a president who will lead us regardless of who and what we are and regardless if we voted for him or not!

    2. This is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job.. I listen mainly to the Michele berry show and the Rush Limbaugh show and they praise him 24/7 all I hear about is how great of a job he is doing.. guess it just depends on who you listen to but I really felt they were trying get to make him look bad here and taking things out of context and kind of leading the viewer’s of this in the direction of making him look bad.. but what do I know.. but if you have time I’d ask you to watch some Michael berry or Rush Limbaugh.. if for no other reason then to see what it’s like when someone is trying to do the opposite of what I feel was done in this video…

    1. @Gwen Wier
      He didn’t buy his way into office.

      He’s a billionaire conservative, when he spoke the idiotic conservative christians mostly jizzed themselves.

    2. Wrong…wrong …wrong, the man could dance around you with his IQ. Try to outsmart him, he’d have you with your foolish comment there, going in circles and have you younger tied, my friend! So many of you make such dumb comments that don’t amount to nothing…yet you thing you have something to say! Try taking a course in ENGLISH 101 and then after it’s all said and done, maybe you could come back with a better approach maybe in a more IMPROVED-VOCABULARY…

    3. This is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job.. I listen mainly to the Michele berry show and the Rush Limbaugh show and they praise him 24/7 all I hear about is how great of a job he is doing.. guess it just depends on who you listen to but I really felt they were trying get to make him look bad here and taking things out of context and kind of leading the viewer’s of this in the direction of making him look bad.. but what do I know.. but if you have time I’d ask you to watch some Michael berry or Rush Limbaugh.. if for no other reason then to see what it’s like when someone is trying to do the opposite of what I feel was done in this video…

    1. @Robert Pruitt suggest you see what the final count is. People in 1918 were warned to stay out of crowds and they didn’t listen either. Population back then was a lot less as well as society was not as mobile back then. Spend this time reading more and educating yourself.

    2. @Jean Dougherty
      Also, the people in 1918 didn’t have ventilators to help keep them alive while they recovered. Ventilators didn’t come out until the 1940’s.

      Science can save us from most things. But not when ignorant people elect ignorant people.

  8. The country is suffering, and his judgment is clouded by his stubbornness and pride. We need a leader that can really get this done right, not a celebrity stricken with vanity.

    1. ‘Packed churches at Easter’ is a comment I’d expect to hear from a geezer down the pub already on his fifth pint. Not the POTUS FFS.

    2. this is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job.. I listen mainly to the Michele berry show and the Rush Limbaugh show and they praise him 24/7 all I hear about is how great of a job he is doing.. guess it just depends on who you listen to but I really felt they were trying get to make him look bad here and taking things out of context and kind of leading the viewer’s of this in the direction of making him look bad.. but what do I know.. but if you have time I’d ask you to watch some Michael berry or Rush Limbaugh.. if for no other reason then to see what it’s like when someone is trying to do the opposite of what I feel was done in this video…

    3. @John Lacy The media is biased, no matter who you turn to. I care only for the facts, and I know I’m not going to find unbiased views on Fox or CNN. I only want neutral data so I can form my own opinion.

    1. Well…he wants us to talk about him talking about him…sooo. Hard to pierce that conversation….

    2. Heart on his sleeve.
      That’s why I love him and hate him.
      He’s a narcissist for sure.
      Just like the rest of our “leaders”.
      It’s just that Trump isn’t snaky enough to hide it.

    1. @Brian A Trump “I know War better than any General. If I was a General I would have won the War two years ago and made Japan pay for it”.

    2. Trump is only fighting warrior against the Satan China, devil Democrats and zombie liberals. China is a evil power, united with the democratic devils in the USA. Clinton, Obama made China so much grownup and now they all threat American existence. Trump leads the World. Everybody should support him to overcome this attack of China and leftist zombies inside the USA.

    3. this is the first video I’ve seen that has blatantly try to make it seem like he’s doing a bad job..

    1. @BigPoppa Z you are already worse than Italy most cases in the entire world & you have only just started testing. A couple of weeks ago people in the health industry were saying your doctor’s & clinics didn’t have the tests. How do you know your death toll hasn’t already surpassed Italy? Without testing how could you know. Add to that uninsured people who can’t afford medical care & those to afraid of ICE to seek medical assistance the truth is we will never know the true number of American Covid-19 deaths. And that’s just the way Trump likes it. Hence all the stalling & delaying of testing. He was probably hoping you would achieve herd immunity before anyone noticed & that any deaths would be put down to the flu & other causes.
      Due to your wealth & much larger population u have a lot more hospitals than Italy which might account in part for the higher percentage of deaths Italy is experiencing. I hope you don’t get to see what happens when your health system exceeds it’s capacity like it has in Italy.
      Hopefully when we get through this the world will learn from this and be better prepared next time round.

    2. @cara hodson you don’t know how many have already died and probably never will. Without tests which people in the health industry all over America were saying your doctor’s didn’t have how could you? They would have been attributed to other causes. He probably hoped you would achieve herd immunity before anyone noticed.
      Trump stuck all your heads in sand. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean those deaths aren’t there. Obama learnt from his mistakes & prepared you for the next pandemic, Trump could have improved on that framework instead he destroyed it.
      While your president was bragging lying that there were only 15 cases not his fault soon to be 0 because of the super fantastic 10/10 better than anyone else in world job he was doing. I was telling my partner to be careful of anyone coming from America because I had noticed that most of our infections were from the the USA double that from Italy which was our next largest source. And much more than from China our largest trading partner. Infections hadn’t even spread throughout out Italy yet.
      Yet I was able to accurately predict as far back as then that the USA would skyrocket to the number 1 position the moment they started testing which is exactly, exactly what happened.
      I’m not the smartest person in the world, I don’t have supernatural powers. If I could see this and work it out from afar why can’t approximately 50% of Americans? There can’t possibly be that many Americans that are less intelligent than me. How many times does he have to lie before those Americans will admit it?
      His critics don’t even need to say a single bad word against him they don’t even have to say he lies they can just put together existing footage of him and they don’t even need to manipulate it in anyway (they don’t need to slow it down or cut pieces like his supporters have done to misrepresent people).
      You present people with indisputable proof right out of his own mouth & they still say he’s not lying. They can’t take What they dish out it supposed to be free country with freedom of speech yet even an ad featuring Trump own unaltered words attracts a law suit. (I would love to be the judge presiding over that case. “Yes Mr Trump I can see how this ad makes you look bad & will make a ruling so that certain parties refrain taking certain actions in order to prevent further damaging your good name so with that aim “Mr Trump I order you to refrain from opening your mouth & tweeting. Further more I order your party & supporters from taking any actions, making any statements or passing bills , laws etc that have the potential to make you look bad or subject you to ridicule. I leave it to you Mr Trump to decide how much compensation you wish to pay yourself from your own private money for any damages you have suffered as a result of your own words and actions. I also order you to pay costs to the producers of this video for the evidence that they have so generously put together for you. I am sure you will find it money well spent as this ruling if heeded will no doubt avoid your incuring future damage, pain & suffering”.”
      It’s like a resident evil movie. Is there a Republican virus attacking people’s brains, making them nasty & mean, incapable of seeing/hearing let alone evaluating evidence capable of only chanting Trumps the greatest, Trumps the greatest Trumps not lying Trump not lying?
      I am so frightened for all the beautiful wonderful caring Americans many who have expressed fears for what was happening in their country well before covid-19 ever came into existence.
      I hope that once we get thru this that the world learns from it and makes a better world for everyone.

    3. @BigPoppa Z did you even read all of my comment or only the first line? China is our largest trading partner & we had already closed our borders to them before Trump did. Closing the border to China was sensible but pointless if he was going to obstruct & delay in any attempt to identity & contain any infections that were already in America which is what he did letting it spread throughout America & contributing to spreading it to the rest of the world. Our infections from the USA was double that of our next highest source Italy. All world leaders could have handled it better my own country included. But your presidents temperament didn’t help, even countries that were quick to close their borders to China & other potential sources would have been loath or just plain afraid given his vindictiveness incur Trumps wrath no one would have wanted would have wanted to be the first to close their borders to America I am no way suggesting that Trump is responsible for most of the infections around the world many leaders were too slow to take actions that could have minimized infections but he hid & lied about the amount of infections in America from Americans & the rest of the world because to use his own words he liked the numbers & didn’t want them to increase even to the point of leaving sick Americans trapped on a ship. Eventually moving the ship from a red state to a blue state before finally letting them off.
      He politicized the crisis then accused the other side of doing what he was doing. The first time he showed any real alarm was when the stock market fell.
      He is not the only leader to trivialize it for political gain Iran’s leaders said it was a Western hoax & didn’t take it seriously until they started dropping like flies. Their people believed them even licking shrines in defiance of the West & paid the price.
      Trump trivialized & attacked anyone who tried to even suggest the situation was more serious than he was making out who ever they may be Republican, Democrat, expert in the field it didn’t matter who. His story was that yes it was a very serious situation one that he heroically & through his vastly greater than anybody else in world superior intelligence saved America from. He locked out the Chinese problem totally solved he looked good Chinese looked bad win win. America completely free of Covid-19. Don’t anyone dare suggest otherwise. He only took it serious enough to use for his political gain so he could claim to be the hero once that was done he further used it for political purposes by claiming the nasty democrats had politicized it to make him look bad it was all just a democratic hoax. It was a serious yes very serious but he saved you even though they called him a racist he saved you no Corona virus in America only 15 cases from a ship not his fault soon to be 0. Of course that wasn’t true but you believed him or at least a large percentage of mostly but not only Republicans did. So instead of preparing to fight this unprecedented threat you happily went about spreading covid-19 to e every corner of America, to visiting tourists & countries you visited, abusing & attacking any of your fellow Americans who tried to warn you (who could see what I from the other side of the world could see but some how you are blind too). Only 15 soon to be 0(are you seriously going to try & tell me he didn’t say that democratic hoax he said that too) you believed him attacked & ridiculed anyone who suggested otherwise now all Americans are paying the price.

    4. Pamela Damaris That’s so true no other president has ever been this ignorant,never seen or heard anything like this before, for once he told the truth.
