  1. “Me, me, me, me, me! I, I, I, I, I! Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie!”
    – Summary of everything Trump ever says.

    1. he’s done more for america than obama ever did lmao. you’re watching fake news and trump can talk about himself all he wants. he called out a cnn reporter for false reporting a quote that made him seem like all he talked about was how good he’s done and that he needs to be praised more. just because he gets a fact incorrect doesn’t mean it’s an intentional lie, we all make mistakes. and all that trump has done for this country is hardly a mistake. like stated before, trump has done MUCH more than obama ever did for this country. and like it or not, he’s still your president.

    2. dre sampson he called out a reporter for “misquoting” him. But in fact if you look at the reporter’s quote and compare it to exactly what Trump said (instead of taking Trump’s word) – what the reporter quoted was perfect. Word for word.

    3. Im an American living internationally due with my military family. It hurts to see my country crumbling due to the ignorance of a leader.

    4. Naturally, President *IQ-45* Is scrambling to distance himself from VOTER SUPPRESSION by *Covid19 genocide in Georgia* being carried out for him by Kemp!!!

    1. @Priscilla Khan it’s not Trump provoking, it’s liberals. We are just letting them see that conservatives are fed up with the crap. Trump just happens to like the fact that WE are showing our support for him for supporting us. It’s that simple.

    2. @Gemini-fox we, the US, should just stay home and let the rest of the world do what they want. We don’t need anything from anyone. Can you say that about your country?

    3. @Gemini-fox then you guys pay for it. We are done babysitting you guys. You love our money and help and then complain when we cut it off because you guys take advantage of us. Have fun without us.

    1. @camry1971 I hope there is no civil war. You better pray there is not one. One side embraces guns and enjoys using them. The other side can’t tell what gender they are (only man or woman) or what bathroom to use. The liberals want one, hence the division of people into groups (intersectionality) and pit them against normal people. You guys should just stay inside indefinitely and let us run the country through Trump.

    2. @Jason Barefoot Try telling the truth and you won’t find it coming out of that uneducated trumps mouth or at his rallys.

    3. @ray foskett I went to one and I enjoyed it. Peaceful and exciting. Then he became President 😁. Did you have a point to make?

    1. @John Galt Exactly the opposite! Everyone kept warning Trump that this virus was serious, but Trump always said “the USA is number 1, therefore the virus would never dare to invade us.” “This virus is just a flu.”
      Good job Trump, for murdering +70 000 Americans. You have blood on your hands, Trump.

    2. @John Galt well, Hitler, Stalin, Kim Jong Un and Trump all use firehosing of falsehoods propaganda.
      They all (Trump included) tell lies, lies upon lies, lies 24/7. This way, by sending a constant tsunami of *LIES* upon the people, the people get brainwashed.
      Trump is brainwashing the American people by flooding their minds with LIES.
      That’s what Hitler and Stalin did too.

    1. stupid like nobodies ever seen. bigly. so stupid it’ll make your head spin. he has a brain so big, people confuse his brilliance with sarcasm

  2. How dare he even compare anything he does to MLK !!! If anything, he’s everything that Dr King fought against!!!

  3. “…its possible that it may not come back at all.” Its also possible that Tupac will land a spaceship on the 50 yard line of the next Superbowl with Bigfoot and Elvis co-piloting.

    1. @Zidane Steiner It’s called equivocating, saying stuff that is intentionally misleading or ambiguous . Flip flopping in a sentence so that you appear to have an opinion but not one anyone can object to because actually nothing was said that wasn’t unsaid..
      “It could work, it would be nice, maybe we should try it, or not. It’s possible or maybe not.”
      It’s the output of a brain that’s never matured. Sohe has no control over what coming out of his yap.
      . .

    2. Your Big Head Cousin
      Trump can’t help himself stay out of trouble….if you tell trump, trump I will give you a million, can you not talk? For second he be like sure why not…but a second later he be like take your million plus another one and I get speak…..

    3. that is “not only encouraging it is very very encouraging” . Its good to know that anything and everything, no matter how outlandish, is now possible or even very very possible because of pee resident trump

    1. Since you hate him so much there is no way you would ever watch the full press conferences. So you rely on the media to give you an accurate report of what he says. But they are giving a very INACCURATE report. Therefore you are misled and ill-informed. You’re not stupid, you’re just naive.

    2. @Zidane Steiner by the “full press conference” do you mean when someone steps in to spin some idiotic or dangerous comment or suggestion bubble head has once again made? I wasn’t going to inject bleach WAY before the end of that one, but some sheep may!

  4. The US Government isn’t incompetent; they are intentionally ALOWING American’s to die by providing FALSE Information.

    1. @clg632012 Doc. tRump and Friends have developed a Clorox Vaper FREE for all Teanderthals. Also have FREE Clorox Chewables in assorted flavors for those of you who still have teeth. Send your request for FREE “tRump Plague” cures to: FREE “tRump Plague” Cures,
      1600 Pennsylvania Ave. , U.S.A.

    2. Yep. Never been more happy I live in Europe. We’re hit hard by covid-19 but at least our countries are not helmed by a mentally deficient toddler who thinks he’s a virologist…

    3. @Jared Woock

      No. US President have very little power they are employees of the Pentagon and CIA and that’s why John F Kennedy said he wanted to break up and dismantle the CIA and then CIA operatives Bush, Oswald, and others killed him

    4. @Mark Larson The Oil and Military Industry wanted Kennedy dead because he didn’t approve of plans to start the Vietnam war.
      Mike Pence wants to go to war with Iran. The Pentigon has spent 2 years convincing Trump not to go to war.

    1. And that’s how low our government has to go. Pray off the sickly and get more money. It’s all about the profit. It will always be valued more than human life in their eyes.

    2. @Anahata Veda Ok. But Trump doesn’t own or control Big Pharma.

    3. I didn’t say trump. I said the government. He as a president does not make up the government as a whole. And its actually the FDA that owns the big pharma. The fact that this is even happening, is devastating.

    1. He is a petulant kid, he’s just encased in a 70 odd year old body. He’s never been anything but an ego driven petulant kid who likes TV

    2. @Lisa Barrett-Smith See we really don’t know or give a crap We just make up stuff as we go along. You know you could work for PMSNBC. Sounds like you already have the PMS.

  5. “Go ahead try it” “what do I know I’m not a doctor” 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

    1. @James Partin No telling what you’re chewing on.BS rolled up in media Going straight to the brain 🧠. IF IT COULD FIND IT.

    2. ​@Jeff Cope You claimed, and I quote you:
      “All these deaths are not caused by the virus. People die from something else and they mark it down just because they have the virus”

      So you claim. But then explain to me why many hospitals in the world, including in the US, are suddenly overwhelmed by patients having acute respiratory problems?

      Besides, is it not equally true that there are people who died of the COVID-19 virus but were not counted because they were not tested for this virus (e.g. people in nursing homes)?

      To remind, can you please answer my earlier question, and I repeat:
      When and where were intensive care units overwhelmed by bird flu patients?
      Much obliged.

    3. @Jeff Cope Just the same as with H1N1, coronavirus is more deadly to people who have certain health issues and over a certain age. Just the same as with H1N1, people who have coronavirus and die because the virus AGRAVATED the existing health risk are considered to have died from the virus. It has been national news that the virus kills people with certain health risks and over a certain age at a higher rate than those with no known health risks and of certain ages for more than month. You can make any claim you want but the doctors reporting the cause of death have more validity to their claims than you do to yours. There have been over 50,000 deaths in the US attributed to the coronavirus in just 3 months. Normally, just under 9,000 people die in the US in a year. Since the same reporting regulations were used with H1N1 as are being used with the coronavirus, the death toll for the coronavirus for just 3 months is more than 4 times the death toll for H1N1 for an entire year.

    4. @Jeff Cope What is not true? All of it is recorded by the CDC as part of the official records. There is video footage of Trump downplaying the seriousness of the virus after he issued a national health emergency and video footage of Trump undermining health experts.

    5. @chiprbob what it’s and pieces of only what they want you to hear.All that is recorded is all that they want to record. I’m surprised that you don’t say that he started the virus in the white house. Look he’s lied about everything else .But was found not guilty . Yall keep pushing for crap thats not there.Look you are more worried about what he said than the viras itself. This just your ammo against him. That bottom line . I still think your hiding Joe Daddy behind all this. You can doctor film and documents. Any body can write down anything that they want to.Im not saying that this virus ain’t real . But i thinks it is a tool to help sniffy Joe Joe get elected.

  6. When an individual can con their way into the seat of the POTUS, then i should be able to grow wings and fly. What a sorry state this country is in.

    1. Zidane Steiner : Let’s think 🤔 about that? His mother was white, but his dad was of African descent(!) Sooo, you think that makes him what???? Steiner(?) is that an American name(?) Actually! The Only True Americans are the AMERICAN INDIANS!!! WHOSE “LAND, was STOLEN from them By “EUROPEAN” 🏴‍☠️ pirates!!!! Don’t get it twisted!!!!😡

    2. Rhaspun: Yep! It’s called “ RACIAL DIVIDE!” “IGNORANCE against INTELLIGENCE!” And PUTIN takes over AMERICA!!! DONALD becomes his B____!!!!!! ALL GOOD In the NEW REGIME!!!!

    3. @Zidane Steiner Maybe because they are Stupid and Gullible or Racist. And loonies like you continue to bring it up.

    4. thank trump* (the body bag king) he is killing as many with stupidity as COVID-19
      is as a virus.

    1. Such an embarrassment. He is so incompetent it’s unbelievable. I pray for all of us, even us in Southern Africa, that he is not re-elected.

    2. @John Mehliss HAHAHA, he will be relected. Whichever candidate goes against him, will be manhandled by the Alpha male himself.

  7. ‘nobody cares for me’…poor little fellah. how about a round of chloroquine w a Lysol chaser for donnie? who’s in?

    1. @Paul Johnson Chloroquine is a safe drug if prescribed and monitored by a doctor.
      If you have any kind of problems with your heart, you can most definitely be in trouble with it!! . Trump touting it on “a hunch” as he said, was irresponsible and dangerous as we have found out.

    2. @Alec scott 1 person was possibly murdered by his wife in Arizona for ingesting chloroquine phosphate (fish tank cleaner) because she convinced him Trump said it would cure covid19. That’s a far cry from oxychloroquine, the malaria drug. How is that Trump’s fault?
      That’s like Trump saying, “take aspirin for a headache” and someone taking a whole bottle and dying.
      You, my fellow American (term used loosely b/c you are probably anti-american) have been manipulated and programmed to hate Trump. Example: Name one thing/action/policy that is positive for Trump.
      Can you be honest or are you a 🤖. In your best robot voice…I am L.I.B.T.A.R.D-666. Trump is bad. Trump should be impeached. Trump is racist.
      You get the picture. So what is it? Gonna answer or are you a programmed sheep?

    3. Antoinette Elish your right he’s got a big brain, and drinking Lysol under a UV lamp is just good advice

    1. But at the same time you want to keep us in prison and destroy the economy. Trump isn’t taking my right away to own firearms either.

    2. @Carol Landon Funny. Liberals talking about heaven killing babies, lying, stealing (socialism), violence, most not believing in God. Hypocrisy at it’s finest.

    3. @Dylan Rasmussen You have it backwards. Trump is an extension of us. We run this country and he carries out our agenda. You guys want a ruler.

    1. You hope he will, because that’s the only way you are gonna win.V for victory 2020.Year of the of the Trumpster.

    2. He’s got tens of thousands’ blood on his hand. The outbreak isn’t his fault but he downplayed it so much and so late. Also he says wayyyy too many “maybe” “might” …

    3. @Bender Rodriguez The media downplayed it till March. Trump listened to his “experts”. He has no blood on his hands. Explain why. I can give you a timeline if needed.

    4. @Jason Barefoot I’ve seen those Fox News reports saying it’s nothing but dem hoax. They went 180 soon after though.

  8. He sounds like a drug dealer selling someone on his new drug lol “What do you have to lose? … Take it. It will be wonderful It will be sooo beautiful!!! It will be a gift from heaven! Try it!!!”lmao 😂

    1. Joseph Stock, I speak five languages. I graduated from College with just a below 4.0 GPA. Also, I’m still working because of my value but ok lol🤷🏾‍♂️

    2. Better than any Belushi. Donny Boy’s solution to the Crisis. Good ol Smack. Trust me my fellow Trumpies; it’ll cure ya for sure.
