Trump Shifts His Focus To Reelection Amid Pandemic | Deadline | MSNBC

101 comments

  1. Recall some years ago when the tobacco industry were seeking doctors who would dismiss the evidence that smoking caused lung cancer.

  2. He already lost. This is Trump’s last year. ANGRY voters no longer Trust Trump. Trump is medically unfit. HE hates his own people and he thinks everyone is out to get him. The ORANGE Caligula must go.

    1. @Scott Dunham Wallace PhD Your scenario is under consideration by all observant Americans. I’m personally much more concerned about the integrity of our electoral process. Foreign interests may have the capability of skewing statewide results or be deemed Trump’s justification for negating the authenticity of unsatisfactory results. Trump has implied a distrust of mail in ballots and may move to disqualify them if it’s most advantageous to his reelection. This is why my country still calls itself a two hundred and forty five year old experiment. I would expect during any deviation of the electoral process for the Secretary of Defense (advised by the various chiefs of staff) to honor his constitutional pledge of insuring electoral integrity. Any other option would risk sacrificing military cohesion in an organization staffed by liberals and conservatives. Trump supporters lack the intellect to organize, the courage of minority dissension and would definitely lack cohesion if their only source of leadership is Donald Trump.

    2. @Demsareliars Everyday ” who’s angry? It’s not Republicans that’s for sure”
      Have you been watching the news? The defiant protests? I don’t know if they’re Republican but they’re clearly alt-wrong.

  3. Trump see’s everyone as his enemies even his own advisers, The only one’s he’ll ever trust is Putin and the rest of the dictators, And their the main one’s that will sooner or later actually cause his demise just watch! 👁👁

    1. @Mary P DEFINITELY, BUT TRUMP AND HIS BASE NEVER SEES HIS WRONG DOINGS OR THEIR’S, JUST OTHER FOLKS ! 🤔🤢👍🏾👍🏻

  4. Do not care who says what is open. Unless and until the health care professionals say it is safe to do so, this one is staying home.

    1. With you too! I’m also having open and honest conversations with family about how we can be as blue as possible in tjis next election. Open, judgment free conversation.

    2. Most intelligent people concur. So all the businesses that have prematurely reopened will eventually go bankrupt due to lack of patronage which will collapse the economy anyway. It just gives Trump more opportunities to scapegoat contrary views in the eyes of his adoring supporters.

  5. It is the shame of the United States of America! remember the mockery of world leaders at the NATO summit in London
    The President Macron of France expressed himself better in structured English and he with street English.
    🤢🤢🤢

    1. @Patrick Aalfs it will take a long time to forget trump! Can you imagine the damage he would do before leaving office. He may even forget to leave!

  6. “Why are we all here” asked Trump at a rally. “Because were not all there” came the response from the little guy at the back of the room.

    1. Then the little guy in the back of the trypied to leave but the secret service wouldn’t allow it

    2. @DDKaraokeOutlaw That’s an interesting article, thanks for the link! I can’t imagine any musician(s) who would endorse their music being played during a Trump rally, and it looks like the best they can do is speak out against it and hopefully that would be enough.

  7. You mean to say trump wants to get back to his Rally’s full of incompetent supporters so he can tell lies and get cheers? Because he cries when reports all ask real questions.

    1. G Lee if you can’t go to a full stadium for baseball or Nascar why would they have a rally? Think moron think

    2. Trump’s son Eric was on Fox whining a conspiracy theory 
      that the Democrats are manufacturing coronavirus shutdowns to prevent his dad from holding rallies.
      “You’ll see the day after Nov 3, the virus will disappear without a vaccine” said the stable geniuses son.
      Guess it must be genetic.

  8. ALL I need to keep in mind is TRUMP IS PSYCHOTIC. I base my thoughts, my reasoning on that fact

    1. Raven Hawks try harder, Comrades.

      Did you hear Barr said Obamagate was a bust?

      🤣🖕🇺🇸

    2. @Eli Dicken Did you hear Flynn was innocent, no Russian collusion, and Brennan, clapper, Comey and Schiff and going down.

    3. Raven Hawks yeah just like Hillary?

      Blue isnt as dumb as Red, Yuri…and youll still be in a chit hole with no allies and zero respect when you wake up tomorrow.

      😉🖕🇺🇸

    4. Raven Hawks Flynns not innocent at all and we all saw Helsinki…see you very soon, Russian.

      1. Trump was receptive to a Campaign national security adviser’s (George Papadopoulos) pursuit of a back channel to Putin.

      2. Kremlin operatives provided the Campaign a preview of the Russian plan to distribute stolen emails.

      3. The Trump Campaign chairman and deputy chairman (Paul Manafort and Rick Gates) knowingly shared internal polling data and information on battleground states with a Russian spy; and the Campaign chairman worked with the Russian spy on a pro-Russia “peace” plan for Ukraine.

      4. The Trump Campaign chairman periodically shared internal polling data with the Russian spy with the expectation it would be shared with Putin-linked oligarch, Oleg Deripaska.

      5. Trump Campaign chairman Manafort expected Trump’s winning the presidency would mean Deripaska would want to use Manafort to advance Deripaska’s interests in the United States and elsewhere.

      6. Trump Tower meeting: (1) On receiving an email offering derogatory information on Clinton coming from a Russian government official, Donald Trump Jr. “appears to have accepted that offer;” (2) members of the Campaign discussed the Trump Tower meeting beforehand; (3) Donald Trump Jr. told the Russians during the meeting that Trump could revisit the issue of the Magnitsky Act if elected.

      7. A Trump Campaign official told the Special Counsel he “felt obliged to object” to a GOP Platform change on Ukraine because it contradicted Trump’s wishes; however, the investigation did not establish that Gordon was directed by Trump.

      8. Russian military hackers may have followed Trump’s July 27, 2016 public statement “Russia if you’re listening …” within hours by targeting Clinton’s personal office for the first time.

      9. Trump requested campaign affiliates to get Clinton’s emails, which resulted in an individual apparently acting in coordination with the Campaign claiming to have successfully contacted Russian hackers.

      10. The Trump Campaign—and Trump personally—appeared to have advanced knowledge of future WikiLeaks releases.

      11. The Trump Campaign coordinated campaign-related public communications based on future WikiLeaks releases.

      12. Michael Cohen, on behalf of the Trump Organization, brokered a secret deal for a Trump Tower Moscow project directly involving Putin’s inner circle, at least until June 2016.

      13. During the presidential transition, Jared Kushner and Eric Prince engaged in secret back channel communications with Russian agents. (1) Kushner suggested to the Russian Ambassador that they use a secure communication line from within the Russian Embassy to speak with Russian Generals; and (2) Prince and Kushner’s friend Rick Gerson conducted secret back channel meetings with a Putin agent to develop a plan for U.S.-Russian relations.

      14. During the presidential transition, in coordination with other members of the Transition Team, Michael Flynn spoke with the Russian Ambassador to prevent a tit for tat Russian response to the Obama administration’s imposition of sanctions for election interference; the Russians agreed not to retaliate saying they wanted a good relationship with the incoming administration.

      During the course of 2016, Trump Campaign associates failed to report any of the Russian/WikiLeaks overtures to federal law enforcement, publicly denied any contacts with Russians/WikiLeaks, and actively encouraged the public to doubt that Russia was behind the hacking and distribution of stolen emails.

    1. I doubt hardly anybody is surprised. He wouldn’t care if 25,000,000 Americans died in the wake of his negligence as long as he gets re-elected. I mean what I am saying quite literally. Trump _would not care_ of twenty five million (or more) Americans died if he can gain from it. The man is sick. He is obviously the Antichrist but those who can’t see what is so obvious are lost.

    2. @Déjà Siku MSNBC would not care how many people die as long as they get rid of Trump. Just look how they slam hydroxychloroquine.

    1. Not True! Trump ONLY cares about HIMSELF and no one else. However, you maybe correct, if you believe he is NOT a person.

    2. You forget. United States corporations have been given the status of personal entities to expand their rights and reduce their accountability. Trump definitely cares about those people.

    1. @Mimohamed Hussien… I repeat this ever single chance
      I get, that he was Unfit, Unqualified and has proven to be an Unmitigated both here and abroad amongst other world Leaders 🤬🤬🤬

    2. @David Leong That would require he reads _The Art of War_

      I seriously doubt he’s read _The Art of the Deal_

  9. THIS was our biggest fear when he was initially voted in, a REAL crisis with American lives on the line. Its horrible to watch and feel helpless for the next 167 days… election day!!!

    1. @Justin Tym Wouldn’t that be amazing? I knew the logo looked familiar, but it didn’t occur to me that they’d crib it from Star Trek.
      I mean, isn’t that a little “on the nose” even for these peabrains? They don’t have a single new idea, creative solution, or original thought between them.

    1. @Daniel Lindy nice try. Read your own link silly and read it through. PS Cedar Sinai is ranked #8 in the US, call and moan to them 😂

    2. @apx. pegasus if that’s what he was referring to then why did none of the doctors and PhDs he ask for help while at the podium respond with this info? By his own words they are the people briefing him. The experts that would have brought this cure to his attention. Wait, that’s right. He said the whole thing was sarcasm and not based on any fact or science. But yet you still search the internet to find clothes for your naked king.
      Bye, troll.

    3. @Daniel Lindy because it was a nothing comment about a medical technology barely in development.
      The sarcasm was in the darkness/light/healing metaphor.
      FAILED COUP
      BYEEEEEEDDDD

  10. any doctors that will lie for that ConMan deserves to be stripped of their title.

    1. Now that’s a very good point. Doctors can be bribed in Umerica, a shithole country.

    2. @alanrtment porter Maybe if we had a real healthcare system and college costs weren’t so high…maybe….if we had a REAL government???

  11. No, he gets it. He just cant stand that most people are smarter than him. He’s a toddler. He thinks like a child.

    1. ​@Ramp-up Really? I don’t think so. I forgot to tell you that you suffer from a severe case of tRump Toady Syndrome, an embarrassing condition in which tRump supporters sell their minds, souls and manhood to Donny in exchange for.. nothing. Enjoy the rest of your evening, Princess.

    2. @Ramp-up I have nothing against calling liberals name-callers and such… because I rarely see anybody handling politics in a professional way, liberal or not, but how bold it is of you to assume that we are all more stupid than Trump is. Just solely type “Trump” in the YouTube searchbar. It will be hard to find any video in which he wasn’t an incompetent.
