  1. This is by far the most corrupt, criminal, and incompetent Administration in all of American History.

    1. @Steffen Oei I have plenty of time. Just don’t get your feelings hurt with real facts. Sounds like you watch way too much CNN/MSNBC. If you want truth, turn the channel.

    2. @danielle arend I do research at a Government library, where the true facts are well hid away from mainstream media. It’s called read a book and educate yourself, the major problem with this younger generation today. If it’s not on Facebook or Twitter, it can’t be true. Very sad.

    1. It is being postulated that T-Rump is demonstrating behavior indicative of frontotemporal dementia…

    1. @Mr Jones no, he wasn’t joking..but the supporters say he’s joking cause they are running out of excuses for the stupid things he says

    2. What mind? It is being postulated that T-Rump is demonstrating behavior indicative of frontotemporal dementia…

    3. @eric loyola I think we can assume that everything he says is a joke, that he is characterizing some cretin with a bad do and nothing intelligent to say. He is joking: Trump is not that guy at all. That persona is Trump’s foil, his dummy, a medium for his jokes! We have just all missed the humor …. (I too need better drugs.)

  2. She looked like she wanted to cry with passion about how trump fails his country!!! I felt every word😢

    1. Yes I felt her passion as well and her frustration with the horribleness that consist of Donald Trump. It’s really sad too. All these people who have passed away because of the aggressive spread of this virus. And he still carries on and acts the way he does. And I suspect since Mika is in New York, she would know all too well the sheer multitude and emotional weight of these deaths. We should all as Americans be trying with every fiber of our being to avoid a repeat spread. But he just doesn’t have his heart and spirit with the safety of Americans. He just doesn’t and it’s obvious. Who would elect somebody like this? There is not enough people caring about each other good enough. We’ve got to change that big-time and start yesterday!

    1. T-rump “education” — IF OUR DADDY BUYS YOUR DIPLOMAS, you can pretend you went to the “best schools”!

    2. But he became president without the credentials, so of course he thinks that way. Look what he got away with again, and again.

    3. *DonaLd Trump is a DeMonic(a Human who Lost the Spirit of GOD, & is Now Under Satanic Power)!!!*
      *TRUMP IS WONDERFUL EVENT!!! Those who LOVE TRUMP aka the TrumpPimps, ARE the now,*
      *EXPOSED EVIL DeMonics!!!! These ARE the Last Days!!!! That’s a GOOD Thing!!!!*

    4. Trump’s the only strength is his propaganda machinery under the umbrella of Falun Gong’s media channels (The Epoch Times, NTD, China Uncensored, and 10s more) – the super masters of conspiracy theories and propaganda. This is my sample investigation report on how they fabricate news to create hatred and racism https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-wNdNH9VaQ&t=8s

    1. Yes, that right. If you don’t test for cova-19, then you don’t have cova-19. Trump logic.

    1. You have to accept and acknowledge world altering mistakes so they dont happen again. He was “for the most part” voted in and he is the president. People have to vote cause if you leave voting to one group or split the votes you get disastrous results.

    2. Always refer to him as IPOTUS for “Impeached President of the United States “ as a reminder of his corruption

    1. @Gus Sandoval WTF are you talking about? tRump is a lying POS and everybody around him is tested regularly as has been stated by his people more than once on TV for all the world to see. tRump only wants testing reduced for ordinary Americans but not for the people around him.

    2. Trump just interviewed this morning as to whether he was JOKING! He said HE WASN”T JOKING> HE said I DON”T KID, I MEAN WHAT I SAY

    3. @John Buick WHY? TRUMP says its not a problem, it will simply FADE away, you whining POS. Why test, its all about the numbers. Trump wants to slow testing down excluding himself and his staff???? While Trump on chloryquine. WHY? It was officially disapproved last week as not being effective in treating covid.

    4. Trump’s only strength is his propaganda machinery under the umbrella of Falun Gong’s media channels (The Epoch Times, NTD, China Uncensored, and 10s more) – the super masters of conspiracy theories and propaganda.

  3. I had a Tucson cop tell me, “This mask is a myth”… I went on to say, ” Anyone that still supports this president is an absolute imbecile” and I walked away.

  4. “He doesn’t give you questions, he doesn’t give you orders, he speaks in a code.

    2. When the High Point in your Administration’s legacy is that you drank a glass of water ………..😶🇺🇸

  5. Trump is one big mixed message every single day….this psycho needs to get off our stage.


  6. Trump: “I told my people”. Yep, that’s about what it is, has been and always will be. He doesn’t care about the people of our whole nation, just “his” people.

  7. Who cares if he was just kidding or not, I want a president who takes something seriously once on a while.
