  1. The world looks, heads shake. It’s not funny anymore. Please America wake up and take him out.

    1. @Higgs Boson I’m in Australia. Our leader is another Trump-does-I-do guy and I’ve always expected that he’s force re-opening here whenever Trump did in America. Other countries have seen the thing take off once they pass 100 dead… and now I fear our worst time is just about to begin. Dm skynews, and coal-mining magnates and foreign military in our country.

    2. @Ramone DeCurta Traits Shared by Narcissists and Sociopaths
      They both have a sense of entitlement and deny responsibility for their actions. They usually lack insight into their personality disorder, lack empathy, and lack emotional responsiveness

    3. Yes I mean vote or impeach or use what ever legal means to take him out. Sorry did not consider American interpretation of take him out.

  2. Amazing. One lie after another without regard for human suffering high is probably going to get much worse.

  3. The most powerful country on earth has the highest death toll on earth. Higher than a lot of developing countries

    1. It’s a pity that Americans are so fixated on elbowing to the front and claiming to be ‘best, first and greatest’. If it weren’t for that they may have done so much more, and learned much more, as one of the international community. You didn’t have to rely on Donald Trump to know how to react to a pandemic – same as you don’t have to depend on an American pharmaceutical company for the first-or-best vaccine. The information is out there, and much of it is offered free of political bias to anyone who needs it. Can you try to be one among equals… please… that was the vision of those Americans who framed the Declaration of Human RIghts, and proposed the formation of the UN.

    2. @D Ntodo
      Some selfish, infantile people demand to go where they want, when they want, without protection, and no-one should be able to tell them what to do, so things don’t look so good. Trying to make some people understand anything when their mind is closed is “like trying to administer medicine to the dead”.

  4. He wouldn’t change anything about his response because he’s not capable, it requires a functioning brain and morals. He doesn’t have either.

    1. @Deb Hammersley Traits Shared by Narcissists and Sociopaths
      They both have a sense of entitlement and deny responsibility for their actions. They usually lack insight into their personality disorder, lack empathy, and lack emotional responsiveness

    2. @Deb Hammersley Wow, you just described my life to a tee, except I had 4 kids, who I raised alone, yet still had to contend with a manipulative narcissistic ex wife who to this day desperately tries to stay in my mom’s good graces. Mom tolerates her, for the sake of her grandkids, that’s it, she was onto her from the beginning, unfortunately for me, love was blind when I met her, didn’t even know what a narcissist was, sure do now! And yes, trump is a bona fide example…

    3. Richie Usetabecool – I feel for you. My son has 50/50 legal custody of the kids although physically he does have them more than that, but she won’t legally give up the 50% as it would affect her benefits. The less time the kids spend with her the better for them as we worry about her influence over them, but little kids love their Mom regardless and we are mindful of that and like your Mom we try and stay on her good side for the kids sake. My son has met someone else now and is happy. (Except for the times his ex still try’s to stir up trouble)

    1. because not enough people are being tested so, ther virus spreads – carried by people who may not realise they have it. Testing is the key then, isolating those with it.

    2. I get a bonus in my Salary if I put down COVID 19 over Flu and other types of deaths. Many others I’m connected with also do too. The reality is COVID 19 did has it’s part so were technically not lying. Most of the deaths were to come anyways by overuse of drugs, heart problems, etc. Generally the healthy ones that come in never die from the virus.

  5. This man is totally weird suffering from Dementia. How can you leave him in this position you”re losing all credibility in the World with that fool leading you Cape Town South Africa

    1. I live in Australia we have 100 dead this man is dangerous and if he is voted in again the world will look at America and wonder how in God’s name could you let this happen …

    2. We have no democracy any more. Our balance of powers is corrupted. Votes don’t get counted right. America is a failed state, and asking the citizen-victims of that to “do something” is really quite naive of you. What do I do? What James Hodgkinson did? It’s not within my moral code.

    3. Joy, a great observation. Maybe we should place an age cieling on who gets to run for office. Sixty seems reasonable as a maximum age. The rigors of office show on the last three presidents.

  6. Trump flings these terms around like ‘morbidity’ yet its clear he has no idea what the word means and in what context it should be used. How dumb can he be?

    1. Jen.He has gotten stupider on a daily basis since he took office…….and it’s getting WORSE.He just pulled us out of the “ open skies” deal ( with Russia)A deal designed to prevent misunderstandings between war planes so that those kinds of things don’t lead to war.So now we are even LESS safe.One less safeguard for the nation,on top of 95 thousand dead because this pandemic was a HOAX to him.See? …… even MORE STUPID than yesterday.!

    1. because the drama of Trump gives news stations better ratings. They also don’t care if we die if their CEOs get richer. So they won’t pin him to the wall. They fail too. Everyone has failed us: Senate, President, Courts. If the governors weren’t doing such an amazing job, I’d be thinking death from Covid might be a blessed relief from life in a failed state like the USA.

    1. Mine also. If you try to have a conversation they don’t believe anyone knew it was coming before Trump did. In fact, their minds are completely closed to any reality but Trumps- and they still wont believe it when more people start dying en mass- and they will never blame Trump for anything. Ever. Ignorance is bliss- but only for the ignorant. The rest of us have to clean-up and live with the mess they’ve Madge.

    2. Well, next time when there’s a mass shooting just say “People die all the time. Who cares.” I don’t remember anyone saying that during the Boston marathon terrorist attack or the columbine shooting.

    3. @datalt Trumpists don’t care about mass shootings or right wing domestic terror. It just makes them buy more guns.

    4. But it would be a different story if their loved ones or friends died from this virus though wouldn’t it

  7. That sounds like an insult to all of the ninety four thousand people who are dead from this virus .

    1. @Ice 247
      It is actually at about 93.500 but even if it was at 90.000, do you think that would be so much better ?

    2. Yasuke Afro Samurai we are just numbers to trump! I can’t wait until November! If he wins it’ll be bc the election is rigged which I have always thought that. Our government is corrupt,obviously or trump wouldn’t still be in office!

  8. Can we finally put the last nail in the coffin of “what America really needs is a businessman in Washington”? Is that myth dead now?

    1. What, a guy who declared bankruptcy four times, and whose only job in his life was hosting a game show, isn’t enough of a leader for you? 😆

  9. Every time Trump decries the “illegality” of voting by mail, reporters need to ask him why he voted by mail at the last election.

    1. Deb Hammersley – Great point. Brings up this question. If the President is totally and unequivocally above the law….How can Obama be guilty of the “crimes” he’s being accused of? I mean…..FFS. Trump is a viscous, corrupt, dictator in POTUS clothing.

    2. @christopher weise TRUMP BREAKS THE LAW: Pres. Trump delivers remarks at a Ford plant in Michigan without wearing a mask

    3. There is a difference between absentee voting which requires a notary and the proposal that is being spoken of.

    4. Absentee ballots have been available for years. This is very different from the ballot harvesting that went on in California in 2018. The integrity of the vote is foundation to a free and fair election. When safeguards don’t protect that we know for certain that only citizens vote as well as residents of the county for which a person is casting their vote.

    1. @Damian La quay I think everyone’s willing to let Trump go… a Pompey with Pompeo all ready and in the wings.

    2. @D Ntodo oh that’s just what we need! Anyone from his administration would be as big a joke as Trump is.

    3. Brenda Raus Unfortunately it requires brains to realize your country is ruined and the laughing stock in the universe.

    4. @Layton anyone who groups Fox with those other sources is part of the problem. Spare us that both sides are the same crap.

    5. @timmmahhhh I guess you get your Koolaid from a single source. I spare nothing for the clueless-lemmings

  10. The rest of the world wonders – will the people of the US even make it until November?
