Why Was Dr. Bright Removed?, Asks Former Ebola Czar | Morning Joe | MSNBC
You can see why trump bankrupted so many companies and lost more money than any other person in American history. He’s beyond useless.
Unless he declared bankruptcy and losses to avoid paying taxes and instead spirited that money out of his businesses…
At this point in a business, he’d be selling junk bonds to naïve investors and walking away from the mess he’d created with their money.
I believe Trump is the only person to ever bankrupt a Casino. How do you bankrupt a Casino? They are a literal money printing machine.
He has filed 6 times.. I wouldn’t sell him a used car on credit.
He’s doing to the country what he has done to many of his businesses. How could we have expected anything else. He’s to lazy and apathetic for anyone to ever be hopeful he could be an effective leader.
He was removed because he stopped the corruption within his agency.
R L T Bored Bot Alert 😀
@James Irving Years ago, I was in the army. Met a guy that claimed going to a recently nuked site would be good for you because of the radiation. He went on to explain that if you have cancer they give you radiation to cure you. I could have argued but I thought two things. First he was too stupid to waste time on, and the other is that the army needed people like him.
@Edward Emmick This comment is spot on. Thank you. 😂✌
Bright got outstanding job approvals up until he stopped the corruption in his agency.
So true!!!
Doctor bright was Removed cause he’s way too bright for Dotard tRump is why he was canned & removed!
@Vigilence : I agree 100%. My one yr old chihuahua puppy is smarter & brighter than tRump & she’s adorable unlike that miserable wretch!
@Baby drumphf, you’re right. Trump is lethargic to truth. And Trump fat ego won’t allow him to let others shine above him. Even when they’re rightly within their rights.
Trump has a small mind and very shallow. He smoothly talked his way into an office that he’s no capacity to learn or hold. Disaster.
Bright? Lol. Remember Mueller Time? Iminaminaminapeachmint? Stormy? Avennetti? Vindman? Hahahahaha you lose.
Remember when CNN made Nick sandman a millionaire?
Wow!!! So much TDS. Is this the real reason dims wanted the economy and world shut down?
@mary nyaga
I wouldn’t say Trump smooth talked his way of getting elected. He was crass, vulgar, racist and egocentric to name a few things but people overlooked these character flaws anyway. Did they think he’d become an intelligent, kind and scholarly man after elected? Or felt he was more honest than Clinton? (All politicians are a little to “biggly” crooked, imo.) And the Electoral College voted for him, not the popular vote.
Americans need to get out and vote in droves next election unless they want Trump re elected.
Why was he removed? That’s an easy one. Trump doesn’t want the facts about his criminal non-response to a worldwide pandemic to come out, and this Doctor told the truth which hurts his re-election chances. Trump’s priority is getting elected again to keep the truth about his corruption in office hidden by an equally corrupt Attorney General and Republican Senate. Let’s not forget the mountain of civil and State charges that will move forward once he’s out of office. His entire existence has always been about courruption, and surrounding himself with people who will cover it up. Everything Trump touches DIES.
It’s time American fight for greater democracy and freedom to make America great again, White House are infested with corrupt politicians and dictators,
Teh Chuan Chinese State Propaganda Agent. Scram.
@Geneva8181 Yeah….Dr. Fauci was telling him and telling us not to worry. Take our cruises. Then he about-faced. Get your facts straight.
R L T …..Trump troll you get your facts straight !
@Geneva8181 Honey…you are all screwed up. You need to establish your opinions based simple facts not biased fake bilge which is a mainstay of MSDNC.
Trump, Ambassador Maria Yoyonovich Removed because she did not participate in his Ukraine Bribery Scam. Sorry for the misspelling of the former Ambassador name.
@Roger Wilco Really? Can you cite the sources that she’s under investigation? She didn’t do anything wrong. Burisma, you’re still on that?? LOL…..yeah good luck with that one.
Genevieve Words : All you had to do was look her up via the net, out of respect.
Genevieve – you can edit and update your original comment if you wish. Tap on the three dots on the lower right corner of your comment (across from the thumbs up/down) – you can only edit statements you put in yourself. You can fix the ‘y’ to a ‘v’ and remove the apology! Have a nice day! 😉
@Juan Fran They accused her of exposing the Black Ledger that showed the 12.7 m that Manafort got from the russian backed gvt. impeached trumpee wanted to give him a pardon but can’t b/c it is one of the obstructions in the Mueller report.. sorry i can’t send you alink but llook up Trump, Guiani,and Manafort :the ukraine scheme.. Rudy even admits he stumbled on the so-called Biden story.Every one knew 5 ears ago about Hunter was on the board.
All I know is Yvovovich is one of the most articulate, Intelligent and credible person I have observed since this s$!! Show called The tRUMP presidency began. I believe her over the Moron clown any day.
Yes, it’s criminal to put anything before the health and wellbeing of the American people.
@roisin culler You must be a genius.
How do you think Pelosi was going there to celebrate Covid19 so easily?
@Elmer Beltshire I agree. BUT commie democRats want the economy destroyed.
@roisin culler Comrade Pelosi went there to celebrate. I’ve already seen the vid.
You are correct. Covid19 started in Wuhan China.
Comrade Nancy was probably drunk on Putin’s vodka. He sends the best stuff. Wish I had some at times.
@Elmer Beltshire Well, armed conflict is happening all around us. Yet my sense is, the powers that be, want chaos and conflict.
It’s time American fight for greater democracy and freedom, White House are infested with corrupt politicians and dictators
We have only 3 priorities to focus on.
1) This pandemic.
2) Getting money into people’s hands.
3) Setting up a national mail-in voting system for the election.
every thing trumps against then
randal gibbons Trump’s three priorities:
Staying out of jail by getting re-elected
Getting more money from the poor to give to the rich
Distracting from his abysmal response to the coronavirus “obamagate!”
Good luck with that….Trump on April 16….”If we allow MORE people to VOTE then the Republicans will NEVER win another election”……
LOL….if number three happens I’ll never vote for another Republican.
@Steve Wildman: You couldn’t have said it better.
Please the sane side of America be there in November. Big Blue wave! Note: Trolls need not respond. Eagles don’t chase flies.
👩🎤🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🤙
I’ll be there with bells on! Already signed on with Biden’s campaign! So excited. Haven’t done this for 20 years (be involved with a campaign) See you there!
Good luck, Americans. Save your country and the world from the Trump Terror. Greetings from Mexico.
@SmileMan64 aka BenjaMan64 peace and love to you from the real people of America, we are going to fix this if it takes a civil war.
@Richard Atkins Let’s hope that the transition can be done peacefully. Best of luck.
Captain obvious trump up to his usual dum dum tricks
His dumb tricks are working because of racism, racism is a very powerful tool and Donald Trump is using it.
@Cerone 747 Your absolutely right! I couldn’t agree with you more!
More like Captain Oblivious.
The virus is real and the power grab is real.
The Pandemic is as fake as a plastic banana!
The ‘Lock Down Tyranny’ is going to get tighter. Much tighter! Within two weeks crime
and violence will be out of control. Both domestic and in the city streets. Basic needs
for 20% of us will be at desperate levels. Stock up on food and lead if you wanna live!
Trump will forever be listed with Hitler and Stalin for the many, many innocent people killed under them, except that Trump did it out of laziness, incompetence, and what he thought was good politics for himself. It’s horrendous that anyone would trade so many innocent lives for political advantage but doing that was actually bad politics! Mix Evil and stupidity and you get Trump.
@quan Brooklyn kid Not So far but unfortunately Trump shows a lot of the same impulses. Why is he deflecting, why is he letting you all die.
Trump will get an asterik. Because he didn’t intentionally commit genocide or send his people to death bye keeping them in a city without escaping and using civilians as human Shields. Trump just decided his re-election was more important than people.
Most liberal minded people doesn’t mean we’re all Democrats get our news from multiple sources including television. We just don’t watch or read propaganda Outlets, you know mainstream media the ones you hate apparently
It’s time American fight for greater democracy and freedom, White House are infested with corrupt politicians and dictators
trump. compares with Evil Genius Goebbel Nazi propaganda minister
All the good people of this country are “DISGRUNTLED!”
@Long Range Rifle trump derangement syndrome is where you believe trump and back him up, in other words trumpanzees like yourself.

@Walter White This virus is very weak. Hot green tea with honey & lemon and aspirin will help cure you.
Go to the doctor and get Hydroxychloroquine & Z-Pak.
*Communist* democrats and the *Fake News* media are blowing this up as a way to destroy the economy and blame Trump.
@Long Range Rifle Fake News?????
The First Amendment – Freedom of the press- the right to report news or circulate opinion without censorship from the government, And yet, Trump is constantly undermining any news agency that does not agree with him by refusing to answer their questions. calling them names and saying they are “nasty”. By doing this as a representative of the government, is he not trying to censor freedom of the press? He absolutely is!!
@Long Range Rifle Really – 87,595 deaths!! That is how many American lives have been lost!!!! How can you make that political? Shame!
Anti-intellectualism strikes again in America
@Palaven So you figure you could impose sterilization on 80% of the people on the planet?
Palaven Yet they are able to take care of their people during this pandemic, and contain the spread in their country. Yes, keep comparing the US to China, a Communist country. That’s a good country to which to compare ourselves.
Long Range Rifle oh okay, that explains everything, including how Corona got to the US and why we have no tests, or PPE for health workers, I see it now. It’s all Dr. Bright and Obama. That makes complete sense.
@Ajudente Ojeme Long range is a Russian Troll and not a very good one at that.
@roisin culler see you November😘
“Why Was Dr. Bright Removed?”
Because he’s bright _and_ smart?
Told the truth,too…
Bright was honest, Trump hates those kind of people.
Frank Heuvelman and handsome ☺️
Dr. Bright is a shill for a pharmaceutical company. No conflict of interest at all here. Move along folks. https://ir.novavax.com/news-releases/news-release-details/novavax-appoints-new-vice-president-vaccine-research
Because he tells the truth something that Capt. Bonespurs is incapable of doing.
Trump wants to win….He doesn’t care about our petty little lives.
Denise Hall: He’ll need Russia to do that again. We’ll be monitoring that this year I’m sure.
I Love when Joe and Mika address Trump directly during the show because they know he is watching.
Priceless
Me too😇

maybe they need to tell him directly that his “special relationship” with Beijing, has so far led to him being in denial, getting mocked on the international stage, being late on the pandemic response, and basicly just a giant #Fail in every department. He’s treating the presidency like a reality TV show where he’s “frenemies” with China, while ppl die in the real world.
China may have failed to contain this, but he also failed by relying on “special relationships” instead of just having a brain. And doing his job competently and with integrity. Has there been any effort made yet to move and increase production of pandemic essentials to the US? so we can avoid international bottle necks?
The definition of tRump : FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP.
In coming Trump rallies they will be sing “HANG HIM FROM THE HIGHEST TREE”
Your *Trump Derangement Syndrome* is guiding your thoughts.
Learn to think for yourself.
Failure of human being.
No leadership skills at all.
“We need to be truthful with the American people.”
Well that leaves Donald Trump out.
@D Jackson and?
Trump hates facing the blunt truth!! 🤬
D Jackson Yes the Stock market fallout could have been more disastrous than the virus.
John Buick At least Trump has tried his best to fulfil his 2016 campaign promises. He has helped more people in the circumstance including the whining Andrew Cuomo, He can please some people all the time but not ALL people at the same time.
John Buick Balancing the needs of a whole nation is not easy. no one expected and could have seen the force of covid . Hindsight is 100% vision. The governor of NY should also have watched his turf and people arriving. So easy to play the blame game.
He was removed because of telling the truth.
Melody Nolan It’s the US electorate’s job to remove Trump in November. Don’t let the US and the rest of the world down.
He is a professional scientist he challenged Capt. Bonespurs on his wacky remedy hydroxychoroquine and Bonespurs didn’t like that period.
Absolutely!!!
@Barbara Barrand I was being facetious, but I agree and thank you for your comment!
@Barbara Barrand: He doesn’t have a Country to help him win this year.
Trump doesn’t want anyone around him who is going to question his motives. Trump wants followers with no thought processes, in short the people that follow him are sheep. And as we know sheep get slaughtered in the end.
he’s shockingly insecure
Do you remember when Steven Miller said the president will not be questioned
Trump comes across like a cartoon villain that punishes his scientists when they don’t tell him results he wants to hear.
Yes he is
As if we have enough of those already.
