Aired on 5/11/2020.

Trump Made America ‘Sicker’, ‘Poorer’, ‘Weak’, ‘Divided’ | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
“Ask China.” Yes, Mussolini, we will. America is losing it.
Mussolini did alot for italy
Vito S.R. Wasnt he hung by his own people?
Where did that virus come from beta?
“Confederacy of Dunces running around the West Wing.” Absolute gold!!!
I do not think they are stupid, they have done a lot of damage against the citizens that are footing the bill. We are living in fear of a government that has taken steps to stop healthcare for millions and both sides are effected by this. They have threatened to stop SNAP for millions on both sides. They have undone environmental laws knowing there is global warming. All to line their pockets and stoke their egos so they can be important because that’s what really matters to them. That’s not stupid that’s evil.
i was happy for that laugh…..lol
@Kim Sears spot on
Yellow Card! The characters in “A Confederacy of Dunces” had heart, love, dignity, care for their fellow men, honor, sympathy… bad analogy if he meant the book. Just a nice sharp verbal boxcutter of a phrase.
WATCH TRUMPEE WILL BE IN A NUT HOUSE BEFORE ITS OVER!!
Finally, Steve Smit said it right. And I second it, “Period.” President Donald J Trump is a colossal failure. The all time worst leader in all of history.
@Buzz Lightyear You guys are starting to sound seriously mental at this point. Before you sounded stupid, then just cultish, but now…over the edge, mental. Talk, don’t talk…nobody is listening anymore.
@Buzz Lightyear Thank you for the Russian perspective.
@Buzz Lightyear why do you like a beta “male” like trump??? Birds of the same feather???
The Renaissance popes are paragons of virtue compared to him.
And speaking of the Renaissance, the “father of political science”, Machiavelli, wrote that while it was of course desirable for a prince to be loved by the people he governed, at the end of the day it was better to be feared by them. The worst thing was for the people to despise him, for no prince so regarded could long retain his throne and must come to a violent end. DJT has never been loved (by anyone). His bag of tricks enabled him to be feared or misperceived by some initially, but by the majority he has come to be thoroughly despised.
Ask China? What America doesn’t know? You need to ask China now?
Steve Schmidt you are Totally Right ! We All Agree👍”Remove Trump !” “Incompetence !”
“The open the economy and everything will be ok” strategy is kinda obviously…the goal post right now is I can make the economy good again which will ultimately fail by the time we vote, then the goal post will be “well if you give me 4 more years I can get this economy back to normal” which is an obvious lie to anybody who knows him but is something republicans can latch onto and use as a weapon to win
The thing is if we give him another four more years, what if another pandemic worse than this one with a higher mortality rate comes through the pipeline? He could ignore the warnings from intelligence agencies again and many don’t want to risk that.
Donald Trump has never done a thing to protect this country and Republicans let him come in a d start criticizing the FBI and the Intelligent community who has protected this country’s safety and Donald Trump never did a thing to protect this country he is a draft Dodger pay no taxes he has no experience to run a government he cannot run government like his real estate people wake up his incompetence has ruined this country
Southern Strategy.
Trump Made America ‘Sicker’, ‘Poorer’, ‘Weak’, ‘Divided’ === TRUTH
Stream Your Day and make us look stupid
@mark taylor PROPAGANDA? just for me…. wow here is some truth for you https://youtu.be/lAw2bh8dDQk
@Survive Survive your last sentence did that for you https://youtu.be/lAw2bh8dDQk
President Trump didn’t make anyone sick or poorer. You and your commie friends did that.
@Stream Your Day I think Survive Survive was agreeing with you and adding that Trump makes US look stupid……
Remember that a conservative Republican said, “This didn’t have to happen.”
and another republican said:
at 2:37 the president* displays his inability to perform the duties of his office by stating “…why don’t you ask China?”
Have you decided to abdicate?
or are you just tired of doing a job that is beyond flashing your pearly white teeth at the camera? (Nice hair, BTW)
If you spent a little less time trolling your enemies on twitter, and a little more time doing your job, we wouldn’t be the laughing stock of the world.
RESIGN NOW TRUMP!
Your Christianity is fake news if you vote for trump
John S I love it!
Remember that a conservative Republican said, “This would never have happened under Obama.”
I never imagined there could be a worse president than W! The failure takes my breath away!!😩
when even George bush would have dealt better you have a serious problem
Every one has been a failure. They are afraid to speak the truth since JFK was killed for it. “For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence — on infiltration instead of invasion — on subversion instead of elections — on intimidation instead of free choice — on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day.
“It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly-knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed”.
so you wanted Hillary for President?????
You should run
Outside the us we laughed at W. Now we are just feeling bad for American citizens with this clown, he’s not even a funny clown.
Of course he did he is only interested in himself
“Why is this a global competition?”
“ASK CHINA HURR DURR”
That is not even a valid response. How many misfiring synapses must this man have in order to believe that that is an adequate retort? Laughing stock of the world!
stream2watch It’s an adverse reaction between the Ritalin and the disinfectants.
Republican leadership will be the death of this country. This is what happens when you let Bible thumpers vote.
my stummy hurt 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
#truth
#preach
You have some truth in this statement. Here’s what can make it indefatigable: “This current leadership will be the death of this country.” Folk need to move away from partisanship. Whether Dem or Rep, this type of leadership will destroy the USA and any other country. But I like your general idea.
Naaa Bible has no relationship with Trump, the fact is the guy basically cannot read the Holy book because he has no heart for it!
I second that religion has no place in politics or government Religion is what is destroying this world
So according to you, we should ignore the US Constitution and let hair sniffers, criminals and baby killers run the country.
And that ladies and gentleman is a genuine, real and highly missed republican patriot. As liberal myself, I salute you Sr.
Ëë Mage Facts and figures but they should’ve spoke up earlier
“His manifest unfitness.” 👍 Yep.
“Get the economy moving…” is TraitorSpeak for my businesses are failing and we need to get them going. He’s bleeding millions a day. The rest of you all, good luck. I doubt Traitor could even understand what Obama said…the eloquence, the wisdom. Just Ugh.
This is the just as much the Republicans fault as it is 🍊. If they would of impeached and removed. The US wouldn’t be in this hole. A literal hole of death. Our love ones are dying daily.
@Annette Griffin wHAT MAN??? YOU MEAN MILLIONS OF MEN AND WOMEN???
@Mona Wilhite
Yes!! She would have handled this WHOLE THING with intelligence. And she would not have been running around telling all who would listen, “it’s a Republican hoax” or “it’s a hoax” or ” it’ll miraculously vanish away” or “it’ll go down from 15 cases to 0 by April”! No one would have been worse than Trump has been. NO ONE!!! Anyone with a brain can/would see this. What’s your excuse Mona Wilhite???
@Arthur Anderson YOU NAILED IT RIGHT ON
Triunfo-Infiel Americano -It’s unsettling to see so many American Citizens, obvious to the things that are unfolding, before their eyes. They sincerely believe, the Virus can distinguish between Republicans and Democrats. The USA, is supposed to be a unified nation, that is banning together to survive this pandemic. Understandably, this is an election year; however, that won’t even matter if the country it tattered, torn and destroyed, because leadership is failing to provide, their citizens with stability and hope. The measures implemented in the WH, after they discovered COVID positive results, was the exact same measurements that should have been deployed, nationwide. Instead, tiny steps, that were only made through consistent resistance, has cost over 80,000 American Lives. There response continues to be negligent.
@PATRICIA CRABTREE
Thank you!
Steve Schmidt is spot on correct in his assessment of Trump.
Schmidt always is concerning Trump.
He and his are constantly lying and whatever they say does not hold any water so to speak….shame and disgrace all the way. No one in the USA is able to replace what our President Trump is doing. He is simply GREAT in many ways and sure make some mishaps….he is HUMAN!
Edward Grant sarcasm?
@Edward Grant to replace his #1 spot on Incompetence, stupidity, childishness, narcissism, racism, etc…. I HOPE NOT
@Edward Grant
“…he is HUMAN!” 😂😆😆😆😂😯THAT’S debatable!!😯😐😉😂😂😆😆😂😂😂😂😆😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes I think, “now his supporters will see what a joke he is”, then I come back to reality, “naw, these people are some dumb MFers”.
@cougarlopez im not a english major bring back obama so we can have transexuals running around abortions like crazy
Indoctrinated orange Koolaid drinkers, who are just as dumb as he is! Remember when he said he loved the poorly educated, that bunch!
And……they are! No doubt or second guessing necessary.
Vito S.R. Wow! Vito…I’m not here to try and bash you, but PLEASE stop while you’re ahead. Yikes!😳
@Vito S.R. – Maybe! But…….not as stupid as you are, nowhere close. You are winning the stupidity race award.
“Confederacy of Dunces.” Ari was biting his tongue so that he didn’t burst out laughing. Lol
Confederacy of Dunces is a great novel. Everyone should read it.
Steve Schmidt is always a smart and well spoken man.
