  1. This sofbh Trump is killing our soilders and he killing Citizens wtf!! Next he be taking the land.

    1. Trump has already taken our land. He has sold millions of acres from our National Parks to his donors. Authorized the key line to continue construction; ordered Wild Life and Fishing to stop climate control in the endangered species habitats so that the flora and fauna die and he can sell that land, too.
      Where is all the money Trump has received for all those acres already sold?
      Could he be receiving a commission from Putin for the troops he has killed so far?

    1. my neighbor, a staunch tRump supporter, is on Obama care and loves it but believes everything Faux news reports, go figure, plus he is an insurance salesman,,lol

    1. @Esteban Santiago “so more tax is better?”
      Yes because when we the people spend money we use tax dollars to pay for what we bought. Trump cut taxes and then went on a spending spree. Now the deficit is ballooned.

    2. @Bob G please tell me the tier, level, you are referring to. If it’s on the “cannot say” tier, level, let me know everything you’ve said.

    3. @Esteban Santiago Yes if you spend in moderation. Then you can tax in moderation. When you run up a $1.9 trillion deficit. Nothing was in moderation and the bill is due.

  2. Peaceful transfer of power will be forever missed. Watch.. someone is holding too much power, even if it’s a Putin puppet, the #fakepotus is a real criminal

  3. Seems to me that Trump wants people to die. What are people supposed to do without Health Care in a time of crisis with the pandemic!!

    1. I suspect that trump thinks that only poor people, and black and brown people will die and that would be OK in his book.

    2. Insurance companies hate Obamacare because it takes $$ out of their pockets. Insurance companies donate big $$ to the GOP. Guess which way the wind blows? And here’s the irony: NIXON wanted Medicare for all. The Dems created Medicare and Medicade but even Nixon saw the need for universal health care. I never thought I’d see the day when Nixon looked good.

    3. Pay large fees to medical corporations and go into debt, exactly where every corporation wants Americans. In debt to them.

    4. @Tim Countis Maybe Nixon’s ghost will come back and kick Trump where it hurts most.

    1. It would seem also that idiocy is contagious the kind that masks won’t help but distancing might.

    2. This made me laugh so much, I wanted to press the like button a dozen times. Not much to laugh at right now for America, wish it was November for you now.

  4. So… Republicans want to do away with healthcare because Obama chose to tackle it. but they have no other option for healthcare for Americans…okay

    1. I would support removing Obamacare if Republicans pass universal health care for everyone

    2. I wonder if Republican voters know that they are not legally required to humiliate themselves for Trump

    3. Now how do thoses senior feel about riding around in golf cars shouting trump name lets 👀who are they going too 📞 on if this happens since they only watch fox 6 they wont know until they go to the doctor an not have any health insurance they should have been watching the news instead of playing old school trumpters

    1. He has:
      * killed more than 130.000 due to his incompetence and has the world blocking Americans from entering their countries.
      *more than 1.2 cases of corona spiking in the USA. *millions of unemployed on benefits.
      * rascist kkk infiltrated in policeforces.
      *been spouting rascial slurs during his rallys giving kkk Karens and Darens the idea that they are the only ones entitled to live in this country.

  5. simple solution using Trump logic: don’t test people therefore they don’t have any pre-existing condition

    1. Brilliant… this is the perfect example of funny 😅😂🤣 but frightening 🥺😱🤢 at the same time!

  6. Trump wants to completely destroy America on his way out, it will be his legacy. He is evil.

    1. He would be like Hitler in that respect. When he goes down he will take the country with him.

    2. @Frank Heuvelman Simple solution; America has no shortage of prison space if the black people who are incarcerated for misdemeanors are set free.

  7. When millions of people are trying to grab onto a life line, Trump is trying to take it away.

  8. I’m still so baffled that so many people don’t see right thru him. He is a G.D conman! He is not done, More Americans will die! Now he is killing our soldiers and civilians! Both of my bro’s are in us military and he is calling the Russia bounty, which is allegedly 100,000$ for every American soldier’s corpse a hoax Because he got caught!!! I’m puking I’m my mouth!!!!!! Seriously we have to act now !!!!!!!!!

  9. Trump is KILLING AMERICA. Deliberately? Accidentally? Being, “managed,” by a hostile foreign power? DOES IT MATTER? He needs to GO! TODAY!

    1. We need healing after this. Finance is going to be a problem. Debt is already too high.

      Andrew Yang is the next president! His policies will save America (next time around)

    2. @Eleoonore Matouanna Please. Be reminded. McConnell and Trump have been betraying us all. They put the U.S and the world in danger every day. This goes beyond normal political games for this president and party. This president has no shame, no loyalty to us people, his own party, not even to his supporters. He puts everything and everyone in harm’s way. He won’t even take the time to feign good words. This president gave up on us a long time ago. He has dug himself in. So he doubles and triples down every day with you’re help. And YOU know who you are. Senator Lindsey Graham once feared Trump. Now he embraces him time and time again in great fear. Donald Trump is “a race baiting, xenophobic religious bigot,” while Joe Biden is “as good a man as God ever created.” These were the words of our esteemed Senator from South Carolina. Good thing that America is strong; we will all survive this catastrophic administration. However our citizens, even those that in blindness support are taking ill to sickness that he could have curbed.

    3. @Eleoonore Matouanna You are the best reason for legalised abortion. Incest is a sin🤔

    1. It can be done. Look at history. Best known examples are french and russians, succesfully curing their leaders of stupidity during their respective revolutions.

  10. This is a HEARTLESS Government against the workers. REMEMBER this treason when you vote in November Americans!

  11. Trump is so jealous of Obama that he wants to abolish everything attached to him. There’s no other explanation for this.

    1. I challenge this msnbs journalist to resolve the medicare codes puzzle. Ask the congress about the codes that dtermine your costs. Ask the medicare customer response team (people who answer your phone call. The typical “It’s complicated,” response is unacceptable. Your congress, and msnbs is not representing you at all on this subject.. First thing for you to do is “dump em” on election day, and change the channel on your tv.

    2. @0321MrsJones That was joked about at the time. If he’d repealed and immediately replaced it with the exact same legislation and labelled it “Trumpcare”, Obama would not have squawked about 45’s stealing credit because the policy would have been the same, and all would have been well.

    3. @Praetorian Stride Trump is determined to steal everything from Obama, even his Antichrist laurels.

  12. These republicans are a government that is not “by the people” and most definitely not “for the people”.
