WH Hides Trump Status As Agent Of Infection; Trump Blames Gold Star Families | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

  1. Trump never cared about his own parents, so why on earth would he care about the parents of America’s fallen.

    Trump tried to rewrite his father’s will in 1990 to strengthen his position as the only person to inherit his father’s estate. But Fred Trump foiled the attempt, as he feared his son could strip his estate and use it to rescue his own failing businesses, The Times reported, citing depositions and other documents it obtained.

    Trump had sent his father a document that would make him the sole executor of the estate and protect his portion of his inheritance from creditors and his impending divorce settlement.

    Despite his father’s will having already been written by a top real estate lawyer, Trump had his own lawyers draft a new copy and sent it to his father in December 1990. Trump sent his father the 12-page document and asked him to sign it immediately. Fred Trump, then 85 and terminally ill, was in the hospital, had not seen the document before, and saw the move as an attempt to go behind his back.

    He showed the document to his daughter Maryanne Trump Barry, a federal judge at the time. She recalled in her deposition that he told her, “This doesn’t pass the smell test,” The Times reported.

    Then Fred Trump had lawyers draft new documents stripping his son of sole control of the estate. Notes from those lawyers show that Fred Trump’s instructions were to “protect assets from DJT, Donald’s creditors.”

    Sworn depositions made by unnamed members of the Trump family during a dispute over Donald Trump’s nieces’ and nephews’ inheritance were obtained by The Times. Those depositions showed that Fred Trump believed the document his son wanted him to sign would put his vast business empire at risk.

    Had his father signed the document, which he did not, it also would have given Trump sole control over his dying father’s estate..

    Fred Trump was, according to the sworn Trump family testimonies obtained by The Times, angered by his son’s attempt to rewrite his own will without his prior knowledge or consent..

    If Trump would do this to his own father and siblings, what do you think he would do to the country and the American people?
    If Trump’s own father and siblings couldn’t trust him, why on earth should the American people trust him?
    When it comes to Trump, I’ll take the word of Trump’s own sister, who has known him his entire life?  She knows him better, and longer, than anyone alive today. In the released audio of Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry, she describes Trump as being among other things, unprepared, a brat, and cruel.
    “It’s the phoniness of it all. It’s the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel,” Barry told her niece.

    “All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Barry said. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.” 

    She also made it clear that she was still upset by how Trump chose to celebrate himself at their father’s funeral in 1999.

    “During that ceremony, Donald spoke more about his own accomplishments than his father’s life,” Maryanne said..

    “Donald was the only one who didn’t speak about Dad,” she said. She told Mary that “I don’t want any of my siblings to speak at my funeral. And that’s all about Donald and what he did at Dad’s funeral. I don’t know. It was all about him.”

    1. @Amelia Cook I am so worried what trump will get his brain dead supporters to do before the election. After the news today of what happened in Michigan how far will his supporters go

    2. @Dorry Brewin nothing much ever scares me after the childhood I had….but trump is dangerous!
      The problem is that people just sorta say “yeah that’s trump being trump, we’ll vote him out”…… I don’t think people quite realise just how dangerous an UNSTABLE Narcissist is……& I’m not even in the USA……so I’m safer than people over there.

    1. Brenda Cross ..that is very possible! Made it all up so he could tout a miracle cure before Election Day.

    1. Since MSNBC and it’s viewers are so smart …you do know That the CDC published our FLU numbers for 2019. The US had 35.5 million cases, 490,600 hospitalization and 34,200 deaths from the flu. THAT IS WITH A VACCINE!!! VIRUS OVER!! TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸

    2. He was elected… you weren’t and now you’re just a jealous loser, like POS Hillary.
      It also seems that the strain of your & POS Hillary’s horrendous loss of the 2016 election and the total forever acquittal of President Trumps fake democrat impeachment was more than you could bear.
      So now you may either leave or just stand there & bleed.

  2. The only reason to hide when his last negative test was is that they know that he knowingly spread the virus. Because he doesn’t care at all about other people. Trump is a sociopath.

    1. @Pat Rivard It is possible that he staged the entire event thinking it would help him in some way! I wouldn’t put anything past him. He is the least trustworthy person on the planet!

    2. @Richard Williams If he had tested negative he would announce it like he used to do. In fact, he would crow it from his Mussolini balcony. As for Trump being a liar, four years and 20000+ lies is pretty compelling evidence of that for anyone other than the followers of Donald Koresh. If you don’t agree, I don’t care. After all, what you say means nothing. : )

  3. Trump was positive before the debate. He tried to infect Biden. That’s attempted assassination.
    LOCK HIM UP!

    1. He looked like he was already on some sort of steroids. He sure looked like he was in a roid rage to me

  4. Why didn’t they tell? The answer is he’s been infected for weeks and that has been too many WH staffs involved.

    1. @Ba Doai it helps if you say what the link is or give the title. I don’t open up any link without that info…been fooled once and won’t do that again.

    2. @Julie B
      This account is only to span MSNBC and CNN. Report every time you see this name as “Spam or unwanted content.”
      One day, I became curious and found over 150 of their postings on a single MSNBC video.
      Report using the 3 vertical dots that appear when you mouse over their name.

  5. Only lies and flies that come out from Trump’s mouth, no truth, no honesty and no integrity from this WH.

    1. I could say the same for the Media of this country. Leading people astray for years and years. now your all brainwashed…

  6. Trump ” The lord of lies” and Pence ” The lord of flies” are a perfect losers combination.

    1. 34 that they have admitted to and I cannot say if that includes anyone before this last outbreak. I highly doubt they are.

    2. Provided he truly has the virus. I think it’s more propaganda we have not had any independent real medical doctor confirm this.

    3. You have no evidence… what you say means nothing.
      Who’s guilty of botching your abortion and doing this to you?… it’s permanent you know.

    4. Trump’s covid status is the last things you communists should be worried about. You need to be worried that Trump had 2.5 million viewers online at his last event in MN and China Joe had 77,000 online views at his rally yesterday. That means he got 3% of what Trump got. Repeat after me, ENTHUSIASM! Let me say that again 2.5 million people watching an online rally! LOLOLOLOLOLOLO! Your fake media polls can not determine turnout and enthusiasm! And there’s this…

      BREAKING: Mike Pompeo Says He Has Hillary Clinton’s Deleted Emails and Will Begin Releasing Them Before Election Day (VIDEO)
      LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO! That’s ballgame folks!

    2. @Richard Williams
      Hey communists, this is Gallop, who hates Trump. Your fake news won’t tell you the truth. In 16’ there were 26 national polls in the last month of which 10 had Trump losing by double digits. Of the remaining 16 all but 2 had Trump losing by outside the margin of error. RCP and 538 are citing polls that are hot trash.

      A Record 56% of Americans Say They Are Better Off Today Than They Were Four Years Ago Under Obama-Biden. Gallop 10/8/2020. In a FREAKING pandemic!

      Historically speaking, this bodes very well for President Donald Trump as he seeks reelection. President Barack Obama in 2012, was at 45% percent. President George W. Bush is 2004 — in October —at 47%. Former President George H.W. in 1992 was at 38% when he lost. But in 1984, when former President Ronald Reagan was seeking reelection — he won 49 states in a landslide defeat of his Democrat opponent — the number was down

    1. I noticed that,last night the likes were down by alot compared to the beginning of his presidency while comments 95% are people trolling while that 5% that claim”trump 2020″ are bots only reposting stuff trump tweet on their page but never post stuff about themselves.

    2. But we must keep hammering the pro-Trump supporters with facts and reality so that they get used to the fact he should lose the election. That way there will be less support for Trump if/when he claims the election was rigged.
