    1. @Genghis Smith He’s been there over 40 years, surrounded himself with racists and klan members, and has accomplished nothing.

    2. @Joy Phillips hey Joy can you tell us when and where you herd Biden repeat himself 4 times in one sentence. Don’t feel bad there are alot of you stuck on stupid fools who say every one is blind but the morons that report it .

    3. @Shemp Howard that may be true, but he can go 40 seconds without telling a lie, unlike that dumpster fire trump.

    1. @Joy Phillips Really? More like dudes and dudettes wanting to party like there is no virus. Have you listened to the interviews of those infected? They have no idea where they live let alone are they socially aware.

    2. @The Blade Is this the real life, or is it Fantasy, an escape from Reality ……….

    3. @Joy Phillips in case you didn’t know there were people of every ethnicity and political influence participating in the protests. And most of them wore make. Don’t forget trumps Coronafest rallies with thousands of maskless supporters.

    4. 😃 Sleepy, Creepy Joe ?? this is the best the demoRATS can find, Nationwide , to run for president ??? 😫😫 U gotta be Friggin kidding Us ! We will NEVER vote for Joe Hidin’ …. find another fool << he's even worse than Killary

  1. He’s a wartime president but don’t feel compelled to encourage Americans to contribute to the war effort (wear masks, etc.)

    1. @Joy Phillips And who does all the hating? FOX has a subliminal message you are too stupid to pick up on. Since you are a FOX viewer you are smarter than the average bear now go to MSM and enlighten the sheep. And here you are! We love and trust MSM. You and Tucker with an F have no credibility.

    2. 😃 Sleepy, Creepy Joe ?? this is the best the demoRATS can find, Nationwide , to run for president ??? 😫😫 U gotta be Friggin kidding Us ! We will NEVER vote for Joe Hidin’ …. find another fool << he's even worse than Killary

    3. @Warm Violet We’re OK with you not voting for Joe You wouldn’t vote for Jesus if the Daughter Dater told you not to,

    4. @88Gibson LesPaul << U know NOTHING about what I would do and also NOTHING about who is a "daughter dater" 😃😜 >>> perhaps U should learn more about the people U think U know , before U ASSume what people think that U do NOT know at all 💡 [ We recognize the Leftist Manipulation and will say ” NO to JOE” ] don’t worry about how others Vote ; we don’t worry about how U vote

    5. @Warm Violet After reading some of Mary Trump’s book, we all actually DO know who is a daughter-dater: Ivanka’s father. She’ll be coming out with her own MeToo book as soon as daddy is out of the picture.

  2. It’s very sad that our president and our government doesn’t care about
    AMERICANS HEALTH ,VERY SAD

    1. @Clean king nobody wants to shut the country down for eighteen months moron. Only the top one percent doesn’t care one way or another because they can survive through it. Wtf makes you think poor democrats doesn’t need to work. But they do have common sense which is a missing element for most trump supporters. Numbers are increasing in virus infections as well as deaths because some people are ignoring protocols and opening up too soon. It would be a shame if we have to shut down again because stupid governor’s like brian kemp of georgia and Ron desantis of Florida opened up too soon and still refuses to shut down beaches and clubs despite numbers going through the roof.

    2. @The Tweatles and I’m willing to bet neither of these two groups supports bounties on our soldiers.

    3. Charles L Jones Sir death are not increasing!! #facts. The virus is in the air! #facts. The Democrat party was trying to pass a bill that would let everyone one vote from home and wanted everyone and doesn’t want the economy open now! The bars are closed in Jacksonville Florida..#facts. 18 months was the original timeline of the vaccine creation. #facts. Democrats didn’t want the economy to open until we had a vaccine#facts…. I’ll wait

  3. Trump truly believes that human decency is a radical ideology.

    Trump has ushered in a culture of corruption, indecency, indifference, pathological ignorance, selfishness, chaos, and self-destruction. So much so that nothing good emanates from him. Trump constitutes a highly toxic and malevolent affliction on this country.

    1. @j welsh H, it does appear that Trump may be a culmination of evil that has brought America to their knees and in doing so has affected much of the world.

    2. @lisa richards Lisa I’m not so sure it’s narcissism as much as his ability to draw the hate and ugly out in people. He has his minions and were in for the fight of our lives.

    1. @Ceez o liberal anarchy murder looting destruction of property i see no problem with that do you

    2. Ceez o you just described the laws of the animal kingdom- survival of the fittest. Only the strongest survive. And yes, last time I checked humans still belong to that kingdom. And before you continue w/ ur fake news agenda point. All skin colored people throughout human history have been both slaves and slave masters. It’s getting really old and really dumb. Try something new, like getting a new idea from a Cracker Jack box.

  4. The logic of a three year old President Donald Trump.
    If we test less, there will be fewer victims. Little Donald this is awesome.
    If we don’t test cancer patients there will be no cancer,
    if we don’t do an AIDS test there will soon be no more AIDS.
    Awesome this three year old Donald Trump.

    1. @Bill N well I think a lot of people here and abroad would accuse of him of racism. I don’t think he is at all. He only makes these remarks in a jokey sense. Our humour is not really very PC generally. Mostly because anyone with an ounce of common sense knows it’s not meant maliciously. He’s been bloody brilliant during the pandemic. They’ve helped us out financially during lockdown. Paid 80 % of pay for the majority of the workforce, helped the self employed and business owners by giving government loans in order for them to be in a position to re open. We’ve had a lot deaths from Covid which is awful.

    2. 😃 Sleepy, Creepy Joe ?? this is the best the demoRATS can find, Nationwide , to run for president ??? 😫😫 U gotta be Friggin kidding Us ! We will NEVER vote for Joe Hidin’ …. find another fool << he's even worse than Killary

    1. @Linda Hopson im waiting for the debate battle between Chump and Biden !!!! let’s see biden got any ideas about this

    2. @Matthew Trần yes I agree America needs money but we don’t need to give all or most of it to the wealthy.

    3. @Michael Brinkers I totally disagree. What will Trump run on . One hundred thirty thousand deaths. Forty million deaths. Hatred and divisiveness motivated by racism and police brutality . Ignoring relevant issues and deflecting to mask his iieffectiveness as a leader. Abolishing insurance with no alternative during a pandemic. Lowering testing and diminishing funds for venue testing. Misinformation and undermining health experts who tries to keep Americans safe . And now ignoring the fact our soldiers had bounties on their heads claiming he wasn’t informed and refusing to address the issue. Trump will lose and mail in ballots which will negate a lot of the gerrymandering republicans always do will be his kryptonite. Excuse my error . I meant to say forty million unemployed.

    4. And then you’ll be stuck with the guy who’s a doormat (Joe Biden) and you know he sucks when former president (Obama) said it himself that “Joe would barely do the job”

  5. Kayliegh: “Of course he didn’t mean what he said, what he meant was the opposite of what he said and I believe him, what he said but didn’t mean, and aren’t my eyelashes huge!

    1. I know, Kay L looks and acts like a brainless wit and if she is trying to protect Trump, then she is the partner of the antichrist with lashes,

  6. Trump is waging a cultural war on his opponents because he doesn’t have to fake a foot injury for that.

    1. Maje Brennan You are so lucky to have a leader and a goverment that cares about you. I wish our president would just open his eyes so he can be a part of the solution and not part of the problem.I understand why so many countries are banning us.Our country is dooned.

    2. 😃 Sleepy, Creepy Joe ?? this is the best the demoRATS can find, Nationwide , to run for president ??? 😫😫 U gotta be Friggin kidding Us ! We will NEVER vote for Joe Hidin’ …. find another fool << he's even worse than Killary

    3. @Joy Phillips not only trumpy but his kangaroo court senate is gonna be replaced in Jan 2021……Bye Bye MAGA your xenophobic racist joyride that started on Jan 20, 2017 will also crash and burn. go back to AM radio and make cellophane hats. MAGA caps and Pet Rocks were both a stupid fad.

    1. @Joy Phillips but those racist switch party now they are republicans😀😀😀😀😀.

  7. The world will be a better place when he’s out of the WH and a new president can start to rebuild bridges within the US, with allies, and bunker boy starts a new life in an orange jump suit.

    1. @Dale Thomas with Trump it isn’t. We are not what we used to be or stand for. Trump has diminished our standing as well as our diplomacy with our allies. He vilifies the handicapped minorities women our military heroes lbtqb Latinos the media and our allies and only has kind things to say about dictators.

    2. @Bill Fletcher oh he LL be dragged out of the white house kicking and screaming rigged…..and big bubba in cell block seventeen will be waiting.

    3. @Charles L Jones Yes what struck me is how rapidly Trump’s enablers shrugged off their ‘core values ‘. The Grand Old Party is dead

    1. Kesi Lame Of course ALL lives matter, but the horrific murder rate in your country is the fault of BOTH your political parties. But most of all your gun-obsessed snowflakes who can’t even go shopping without displaying and hiding behind their weaponry, smh. Now, what do you mean in your claim that BLM are killing children?

    2. Kesi Lame Hello. Hello….anybody there?? Why haven’t you answered my question, sad numpty….HOW are BLM ‘killing children’?

    3. AND THERE IT IS..!

      Lmao…🤣

      MELANIA LOOKS At Trump Like a Mom Trying to help teach Her Son How to rEaD at the School play..!

      Next Trump’s gonna be getting ready to sing “Love ME Tender.!”. Like a 50 year old Fat Elvis that should of retired a long time ago…

      LMFGDAO…🤣

      🤘🏼🤣🤘🏼📿🦅❤️💯

  8. Why does trump bother to be tested every day if 99% of coronavirus cases are harmless, and why does he have everyone around him tested, and why did he have the people at his rally sign the waiver, and for what reason does he call himself a wartime president, if 99% of coronavirus cases are effectively harmless ?
    The war trump is waging is on his landsmen, many of which are dying and suffering due to his negligence, irresponsibility, immaturity, incompetence, ignorance, greed, narcissism, vileness, lack of empathy, lack of interest, immorality and stupidity.
    And because of his lies, lies, lies, lies and more lies.

    1. Yes. But calm down. Dont need to argue. Trump cannot even do 3rd grade math. We all know trump is a moron. He is the dumbest guy I have ever seen. SO..stop trying to correct him. Instead, we all should focus on how to get rid of him, sooner the better.

    2. At last!! After 3:5 years of his constant BS some of you are waking up to reality out there.

    3. trump has sniffles, like a drug addict snorting drugs everyday. Because he gets a swab up his nose everyday. NEWS FLASH! that does not protect you from anything. He will test positive if he keeps tempting fate. Then the narrative will change.

    4. he doesnt test..he’s lying..thats why his staff is getting sick. he’s an asymptomatic spreader.

    1. @Mike Romigh erm okay.. I can see that you’re too stupid to even make a decent comeback. Not that I was expecting much from you to be honest.

    2. @Christopher Sim did I go over your head? Or maybe under the pedestal on which you’ve put yourself. Either way, you’re boring. Exactly what I expected from you. To your point, if I were stupid I’d share your opinion and be counted among the media’s herd of blissfully ignorant sheep.

    3. @Mike Romigh Lol. You supporting an incompetent president just proves how stupid and ignorant you are. Like you said “you’re too ignorant to even notice how stupid you are”. Trump sure loves his sheeps uneducated alright. Easiest to brainwash and control while letting them think they’re actually thinking for themselves. LOL.

    4. @Christopher Sim I didn’t support Obama. I see you’re about as original as him. But hey, A for effort my man. Trust me, it gets easier when you grow up, leave moms basement and learn to think and do things for yourself. Don’t hurt yourself on the stairs.

  9. At this point, I don’t know who was more under-prepared for their job: Trump at being president, or McEnany at defending all of Trump’s racism

  10. His moronic test less = less cases is priceless.. one statistic he can’t play with is 130,000. No ideas just imbecilic ranting

  11. He is trying to hijack and overthrow democracy and common sense, just like Putin did in Russia

  12. “99% are totally harmless.” What an absolutely ignorant and dishonest thing to say. Simple math shows around 3% of people DIE from it, and many people will have effects that could last the rest of their lives. VOTE HIM OUT ON NOV 3rd!!

    1. The NYC city numbers/testing numbers are the most complete so far, and it’s 1.4% case fatality rate there. However, 7% of the younger adults who have it are getting this “longhauler” syndrome where symptoms persist for months. (maybe disability forever- we simply don’t know yet.) Like this woman: https://twitter.com/DaniOliver/status/1279155358666305541 And we don’t yet have a clue if children will have organ/brain damage forever. It’s quite bad, this disease.

    2. Bizz, ignorant and dishonest is Trumps go to move. Surely it didn’t take you this long to see that.
