      Shhhhh your stupid is getting too loud….support someone who won’t even help the medical experts with equipment they need and has millions of people waiting on checks because he wants to put his worthless name on it…and it’s tax payer money

  1. America – your President, your problem, FIX IT before he completely destroys your country and threatens humanity.

    1. I guess they were just trying to get rid of some portions of the population there, and the majority of Americans knew that. Things seems to us are out of control, but to them it is under control. Otherwise I can’t think of an explaination to what has happened in the last Months: Knowing the virus and let it spread.

    2. Too late for that. That train left the station around 4 years ago and from what I understand, it ain’t coming back.

    3. Well, its gone GLOBAL and u will get it also. How can you be that stupid to think that COVID is some one else’s problem. We are ALL in this together. Put a suggestion here that might help .

  2. I’m sorry but the fact that the Republicans are letting this guy abuse your great country makes them criminally responsible. End of story.

    1. JA G I am not watching media , I am talking to real Americans who are suffering under this senile dickhead . My real education is not from colouring books . You are missing so much , while you are worshipping your dictator.

    2. taridean no one on this planet respect this lunatic. Stealing medical supplies from other countries ? Blaming everybody ? He is not a human. It’s time to make a huge bonfire in front of the White House and through him on with his family and team members. The public did it with the Romanian president and his wife about 30 years ago. Everything is possible.
      The public executed them.

    1. Dearthair aCath are you aware that the Ku Klux Klan referred to public schools as “the nurseries of democracy” and opposed private schools?

    2. @Frederick Davies “*Sigh*” Really? Yes, I’m aware. And I’m aware of why. Are you? If so, put the context to your comment and stop shading the conversation.

    3. Watch the video of Jordan Keepers and Trump supporters that will tell you who votes for Trump and in USA there’s millions of them ,badly informed, low intellectual , white ,watch fox news

  3. They are not counting people that die at home. NY and other states EMTs and Paramedics are saying they can’t keep up with the amount of calls they are getting.

    1. Andreas Arlt fake news is the only argument you guys have. Why don’t you argue on facts or idk logic – how can Fox News be the only unbiased truth telling news station against every other one? , the whole government is a deep state, people trump loves people for two seconds and then hates them, come on – do you not see the pattern of the propaganda? If you don’t trust anyone, trump is only message you will listen to. This has been done before by hitler, instead of Mexicans it was the Jews, you couldn’t trust anyone but him. This is like the same playbook.

    2. BINGO!!! and telling people to stay at home if they’e sick. so numbers of hospitalizations naturally go down too.
      Thank you for pointing out their story line 😉

    3. Williams said those were unclaimed bodies and a min later deblasio said the death count and every one of those has grieving families. This isn’t news

    4. In America, if someone dies of suspected covid-19, they are counting them.

      Unlike China, where only tested patients are counted.

  4. And that is the scary part – he is going to make the decision. He just realized he has to make a big decision – wtf.

  5. We can sleep well, our “I take no responsibility” leader has a “wow, big decision to make”. 🤔😣🤦‍♀️ So what could go wrong?

  6. I don’t think this President has ever sent his condolences to families who have lost loved ones.

    1. @J Wil that’s not the point, trumpturd…. Zero condolences from the president while praising himself for a great job…. lowlife POS

  7. How the F did he JUST realize that opening the country would be a big decision!? You would think he’s been living under a rock 🤦‍♀️

    1. @Joy Phillips Koreans seem to be sensible. Guess I will have to reconsider my xenophobia, although the next time I smell kimchi the deal will likely be off….

    2. @Joy Phillips What are you trying to say, Joy? That Don is Mr. Perfect…head and heels over everyone everywhere because he’s ‘ a very stable genius’? Nobody else touches him, he’s so smart and lovable? Is that it? Lol.

    3. He’s like an officer in a war movie, having a nervous breakdown in the middle of a battle. His subordinates are asking ‘sir, what do we do’ and he just nonsensically rambles in the fetal position. “I have great power to make a final decision” …’SIR, WHAT DO WE DO?!?’ .. “my metrics are all right here” *points to head*

  8. “The country was meant to be open”. Says the man whose administration gave us the longest partial government shutdown in American history because he wanted a wall.

    1. @Joe England That’s how I feel about quid pro quo Joe. Too bad the DNC wouldn’t allow the socialist to win, poor Bernie cheated again. I guess I’m just blind to the negatives you see in Trump. It looks like his policies are bringing an end to the senseless wars. Insults, are typically a response to attack. Petty insults come from the left as well. I personally like lieing dog faced pony rider. 😂🤣😂 Nice chat have a good day

    2. @Barry Card I agree. You’re blind to the negatives. I hope that one day you stop laughing and start looking, because the damage he’s done is real, and it will take years to mitigate. For my part, I don’t find it funny.

    3. I see the impossibility of any form of debate with someone severely afflicted with TDS. You tout Trumps short comings, but fail to bring examples to make a relevant point. The hypocrisy of the democratic socialist party shines in you. Can you tell me one way trump has personally impacted your life in a negative way? Just curious since you side stepped all comments on how Trump didnt listen to the experts and put the wuhan travel ban in effect, despite the WHO stating it was unnecessary. When I said I was blind I was being sarcastic.

    4. ​@Barry Card All right. Sure. I’ll continue. Forgive me if I repeat myself, but I’ve written a lot in this comment thread and I have to reiterate a few things.

      First, you ask if he’s personally impacted my life in a negative way. I don’t see how my being personally affected should dictate my right to criticize the damage he’s doing to the world at large, but if that’s a requirement then I do think there’s an argument to be made for the emotional stress as his policies, words, and deeds offend me to my core because I care deeply about this country and the principles for which it stands. But if that’s not substantial enough, well, there are also the revisions which his administration oversaw which caused my family to lose its deductions. We’ve had to pay thousands and thousands of dollars more in taxes. We aren’t exactly rolling in money, so that was a nice little poke in the eye.

      But if all that’s irrelevant, I suppose I could also point to the current pandemic which is affecting everyone pretty personally. And if you think that the severity of this crisis doesn’t rest at Trump’s feet, you’re mistaken. To review, the WHO declared COVID-19 a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” back in January. Trump downplayed the problem for as long as he could, dismissing their warnings as well as multiple sources from within his own administration. US Intelligence Officials were sounding the alarm as far back as November, but by then the Pandemic Response Team and a watchtower in Beijing had both been dismantled and weren’t replaced. Both could have mitigated this crisis. Trump continued to ignore red flags while he golfed and held rallies. All told, there were roughly 70 days during which his administration could have taken action that may have saved thousands of lives.

      He also likes to blame the previous administration for “empty shelves” and conjures fairy tales about mysterious “decisions” Obama made which somehow slowed down testing, but if any of that tripe was true that only means his government put off patching the holes for three solid years. Apparently the Trump administration wasn’t concerned with any of that until it was too late.

      But as for his wonderful travel ban, yeah, let’s look at that. Trump still repeatedly paints his decision to impose the restrictions as a “bold” move made “against the advice of almost everybody.” Actually, it was made based on the uniform recommendations of the officials at the HHS. There were plenty of experts who said it should be done. Most major airlines had already suspended flights to China prior to the announcement on Jan. 31, following the lead of several major international carriers that had also stopped due to the outbreak.

      And while it’s true that America was one of the first western countries to enact travel restrictions against China, the earliest countries to do so were Asian and Pacific. By the time we took action about twenty other countries and territories had already enacted entry bans similar if not more stringent than ours.

      In fact, ours wasn’t actually much of a “travel ban”. Exceptions included Americans, their family members, and international trade. On the whole, data indicates that over 40,000 people traveled to America from China AFTER the “ban” was put into effect, many of whom were not subjected to proper screening. And on top of all that, further research indicates that the virus actually got to New York from Europe, not China. So let’s not celebrate Donald Trump’s grand ban. It wasn’t nearly as impressive as he claims it was.

      Yes, the WHO did say that travel bans weren’t generally effective. And judging by the state this country is in right now, I’d say that they were right. Maybe we could say otherwise if our efforts had been more comprehensive, and if we weren’t in the mess we’re in now. But they weren’t, and we are. Look around, Barry. We’re not okay. It didn’t work. Don’t congratulate the man for one half-assed attempt which didn’t pan out.

      But do I need to provide more reasons for my feelings? I’ve got bags of grievances beyond this latest crisis. Remember the Kurds, our most valuable non-state ally in the Middle East? Remember the government shutdown I mentioned? How about his rampant nepotism? Hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars spent on his golf trips and parties, much of it going right into his own pocket? The tattered emoluments clause? The skyrocketing national debt and deficit? The lies, the insults, the conspiracy theories? I’m tired of going on about all this stuff, Barry.

      And I don’t see much point. I doubt that any of this will mean much to you. All I can do is hope that something I’ve said rings true, and that it encourages you not to dismiss the indignation of so many Americans. We deserve better.

      Our outrage is not a “deranged syndrome”. It’s far more rational than I think you want to admit.

    5. @Joe England WOW!!! I see a main stream media machine putting the NWO spin on everything Trump. A main stream media that is bent on pleasing their puppet masters. Only time will reveal which of us is buying the lie. I am glad to see that you were definitely paying attention. Maybe you would be willing to watch out of shadows official before passing judgment on me.

    1. Every one hates him 🤣😂🤣🤣🤣 we need to ASSASINATE TRUMP .

      Actually I wonder what all those school shooters are doing, it seems like we actually need their help.
      Let’s draft them

    2. @tazonite gaming Along with Mike “Hoosier” Pence – then we can all relax as President Pelosi is sworn-in.

      Just saying…

    3. @Richard Pierpoint are u starting a petition to play call of duty on TRUMP
      (If you know what I mean)

    4. @tazonite gaming Absolutely – if only there was another Lee Harvey Oswald, Leon Czolgosz, Charles Giteau or John Wilkes Booth, twice, so Mike “Hoosier” Pence goes away, too, then we can all relax as President Pelosi is sworn-in…

    5. @Richard Pierpoint okay We will start a petition to Assasinate Trumpturd.
      We need code names
      Mines(Rat Prince of Genocide)

      IF THE POPOZ SHOW UP THEN IMA HEAD OUT

  9. What an Epic Failure on ALL LEVELS! No testing, No contact tracing, and he wants to re start the economy? Alternative Facts!

    1. He gives hope. Democrats give death and no solution. Democrats called him racist for shutting the border and air travel. Democrats hated him for saying America first. Now every American except you wants America first. Thank god he didn’t listen to Democrats or we would all be dead or infected. Pelosi, health department, AOC, told everyone not to worry and go have fun at the parade. I want these people gone. New york had no supplies. I want Cuomo gone. Democrat states are the worst hit in America. No surprise there.

  10. Killing off his base what a genius. How wonderful he will go away. Amazing!!! Blessings to the governors and the real leadership that comes from caring about people instead of money.

  11. He is a delusional and extremely dangerous man. Get him out of there before it is too late.

    1. @brian bowes here we go again guys another folk thinking about the wall and illegals instead on keeping his mouth shut while people are dying smh hope is not one of you who dies of covid-19 XD. Anyways where is the wall he promised 4 years ago lol??

    2. @DroneLand YOU want me to give up free speech over the wall and illegals. The whole world lies in the power of the wicked one ( SATAN ) but NOT for long YOU must be ILLEGAL DACA or some other ILLEGAL foreign trash here in the U.S. ILLEGALLY The wall is partially built and held up by DEMONRATS over funding. The U.S. has to be destroyed from within to prevent (temporarily ) Satan from being put in prison. If u r a Satan worshiper, i would suggest u switch sides while there is still time left for you to do so.That which i put here is all in scripture . Its NOT coming from me , but i support it. Who wants all the killing ,crime , drugs ,etc. for our kids to grow up in. Maybe you do , but I sure don’t .

  12. “All men are born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.” – Ben Franklin

    Trump, the hardest working man in America.

  13. “*We’re in great shape in *every* way*”

    If we’re in so great shape, then why are doctors getting fired from their jobs for informing us more of the new bad news of this virus?
