With 62,800+ Dead, Trump Calls U.S. Govt. Response 'Spectacular' | The 11th Hour | MSNBC

  1. Hearing his quotes being read back is horrifying! He’s in way over his head…. he’s no leader. He’s nothing more than a morally bankrupt con Man!

    1. @Bryan Mayer you really think giving out money was HIS idea? Don’t give him credit for something he didn’t do. Did the stimulus check buy you enough disinfectant to inject to cure the virus? There’s no way the idea of the stimulus check came from the same mind as injecting disinfectant. And then he hasn’t even got the balls to take responsibility for the words coming out of his mouth. Trump has been dodging responsibility since the draft for Vietnam!

    2. Albert Chuapoco Do you have any idea how many american families needed that money?? It was necessary. And to say President Trump is not doing anything or he is lazy is just beyond ignorant. Anyone with half a brain will know the truth on how America is doing and performing as a whole against this pandemic. Not the BS that CNN and MSNBC spits out. They are COMPLETELY biased. We have tested more individuals than the next THREE COUNTRIES combined!! Think about it. You wonder why our numbers look higher!! πŸ‘€. Also, us as Americans would rather blame our government rather than support and help one another. We have came far from the greatest generation in WW2 to this BS where we whine like little babies over everything. It is really a shame

    3. @Bryan Mayer I am sorry to see that you are just the same as Trump. I only pointed out that it was not only Trumps generous doing in passing the bill to your stimulus checks. Instead you change the subject and attack others in looking for someone to blame. Feel so sorry for you Trump admirers. πŸ™

    4. @Bryan Mayer Please stop spreading lies just like Trump! FYI, as of today Corona tests by countries: USA 6.14 Mio, Russia 3,49 Mio + Germany 2,54 + Italy 1,91 Mio = 7,94 Mio. Source Johns Hopkins University. So please don’t exaggerate everything like Trump with superlatives. Regarding your “biased” news coverage. CNN, MSNBC, ABC etc. are just showing the facts and commenting on the facts like good journalists do. Not like FOX News who are clearly biased Trump supporters and ommit everything that could show Trump in a bad light. It’s really sad and disturbing to see a country suffer under a such “great president” in your eyes with over 60.000 American citizens killed by the virus because of his lack of understanding how to handle this crisis. I pray and hope for the whole world that this crisis is over soon and the efforts of all people involved are not in vain.

  2. im so tired of hearing about the last adminitrastion… DUDE> OBAMA has been gone a while now. No one else to blame but you Mr Dotard fail fail.

    1. No takers? Disappointing. I expected so much from the hype, the energy and received nothing.

      NOTHING

    2. This is what our presidents do. Obama was still blaming Bush after 8 years. I’ve seen this crap for 40 years now.

    1. WSA he gives stupidity a bad name ..Heil to the Commander in Bleach & now the Vaccine in Chief stay safe

    2. @LFergsuon wrong again lying lover of criminal traitor impeacjed DUMP, nobody lives you, but Jesus so go yo him now.

  3. Trump: “China doesn’t want me elected”.

    China “Yep. He’s right.”

    99% of world leaders: “We don’t want him re-elected either.”

    1. Sorry. I don’t think the rest of the free world thinks Trump is a strong leader. They think he’s incompetent. Those that think he is a strong leader are largely restricted to Americans who support him. Not the rest of the world.

    2. I donΒ΄t believe that. They desperatly want him to be reelected, because he is so stupid and easy to deal with -he understands nothing.

    3. @Tom Soares – Voice and Speech Skills 2016/17 I can confirm for my friends and I here in Germany, we are dozens of people who think he is even too stupid to be a doorman.

  4. Trump is a failure and a sad excuse to represent America. He shows uncertainty and high ego. He poses a threat to american safety and health. Overall he is a failure

    1. Remember, whatever side you are on: fully half the American people disagree with you and most are good, decent, intelligent people. We would be wise to seek out our similarities than validate ourselves in terms of what and who we hate. I gotta’ believe hate has a miserable future,.

    2. @Mr. Platogandhi
      ThatΒ΄s a good attitude. And now please evaluate who is spreading most hatred into society.

    3. You should read more, state facts and sources-cable news isn’t a source. Then tell the rest of us. Otherwise, this just sounds like the same tiresome hate rhetoric. From the look of it, facts might topple the Orange One-if USA lags behind Europe in per-capita numbers.

    1. Bart Altrogge – Me too. I’ve never felt luckier to be a Canadian living in such a beautiful country.

  5. I feel sad for Americans with such a leader in this difficult time. Hang in there, praying from Singapore.

    1. @Mr. Platogandhi people who comment here are simply exercising their freedom of speech. Not everyone who comments is rude or ill informed. There are many decent intelligent individuals who comment. I know you have an all we need is love attitude. That’s great but I think we need a little more then that. Of and by the way don’t forget that you yourself are commenting on utube.

    2. @Sharon Harris I was replying to this comment: “I feel sad for Americans with such a leader in this difficult time. Hang in there, praying from Singapore.”. I wanted to point out that half the people in America think our leader is doing fine in this “difficult time” and to remind her/him there is no need to feel sorry for us. That’s it.

    3. Mr. Platogandhi idk if it’s half, but unfortunately there still is a great number. With what he said about the death toll, and the whole disinfectant debacle, I’m amazed there still is support for the guy

    4. ΰΈ™ΰΈ²ΰΈ’ΰΈΰΈ•ΰΈΉΰΉˆ ΰΈΰΈΉΰΉ‰ΰΈ­ΰΈ΅ΰΈˆΰΈΉΰΉ‰ says:

      @Monica Seferian why trump win?

  6. How can he say they β€œdid” a spectacular job, it’s not even close to over.

    1. @Kenny Hill Either you keep the state closed and many businesses and people will go bankrupt or can’t pay bills or you open up the state but with a few restrictions. This virus isnt a natural disaster. It’s a virus and and it will spread but it won’t be here forever. Do the normal washing hands and sanitization and wear a mask and we can all put this behind us

    2. @Anakin Skywalker Those restrictions need to come with harsh criminal penalties for those who break them – ie jail time in an enclosed space with others like mindedly stupid.

    3. @Anakin Skywalker The death rate from the seasonal flu in the US = 0.1%. The current death rate for coronavirus in the US = 30%.

      But yea, it’s basically the same thing…fu@$ing moron..

    4. @Taranizs That isn’t the death rate. That is simply not true. You have a 90% chance of surviving this virus

  7. Trump today: β€œI am in charge of it.”
    Trump tomorrow : β€œI hold no responsibility. β€œ

    1. @Jason StGermaine so why did S-Korea manage to contain the virus when they had their first case at the same time as the US when Trump is such a genius?

    2. @Jason StGermaine
      You seem to be more interested in creating outs for Trump than acknowledging that Trump said it was contained when it wasn’t. Said it was a hoax when it wasn’t. Said it would go away in April when it didn’t. Said we should investigate UV lights inside of the body without regards to how that would actually work. And said they should inject disinfectants inside of the body.

      You can call it Democratic talking points if that pleases you but I’m an independent and if both Democrats and Independents can see this weak argument you’re trying to make and see right through it, Trump’s political chances may be in doubt. Maybe your cult talking points aren’t so effective when met with reality. Maybe you shouldn’t accuse people of using talking points when you lack the intellectual horsepower to avoid using cult talking points yourself straight from Trump’s lying mouth. Why didn’t it go away like he said it would? Soon the cases would be zero. What didn’t that happen either? Do you have answers to those questions or just more lies like your cult leader?

      I think you should try to follow the recommendations of your cult leader and ingest some disinfectants. You’re as big of a fraud as your cult leader. Just making things up as you go along and denying the things that came out of Trump’s twisted mouth.

    3. Jason StGermaine have u paid for the world loss in 2008 crisis? Ya gonna pay for h1n1 loss as well? Or HIV? How about dah?

    4. Guys, clearly Jason stgermaine’s logic and info all comes from Trump. He doesn’t fact checks ANYTHING. From China’ fault, to “bailing out” cuomo as excuse. He just absorbs everything Trump says and take it as correct. Why bother arguing with such person.

  8. VOTE BLUE AT THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS PEOPLE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. πŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ’™

    1. But Chinese and Russian relationship should be at arms length.or else blue will be red again in 2024.

    2. I’m talking to everyone!!! I know republicans that have had enough of this corrupt Whitehouse!!!! There’s hope!!!

    3. Thanks for the non-hate comment. This is what we need, as adults living in a weird time.

  9. “I’ve killed more Americans in three months than the North Vietnamese did in ten years. Yes, I’d call that spectacular.”

    1. Hmm! Yes that’s right #45 greatest achievement! He sure has made America great again! #wake-up πŸ™πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ˜‘

    2. @DAngelo Coates yes that’s right #45 didn’t create the virus but lack of handling has created the worst pandemic of this country’s history! #SMH 😑

    3. @DAngelo Coates
      I blame Trump because he didn’t respond to a virus he didn’t create when he had the chance. All he did is tell people that 15 cases would soon be zero. The heat will make it got away and it would not return. Lysol in your body will make it go away. This was a hoax. A hoax killed 63,000+ people. A hoax.

      You don’t always get to choose your problems when you’re President but you surely need to be able to respond to them when they occur.

      Why are you trying to excuse Trump for being incompetent?

    4. you couldn’t be anymore wrong,’. When he shutdown flights from China he was called a racist , and Pelosi spread it by telling people to attend the Chinese festival and parades. The biggest mistake came from New York’s and Health Commissioner telling citizens to attend the Chinese festival and parades in late February and March So since New York is the biggest hub for the virus it’s obvious that it’s the Democrats fault PEROID

    5. @Maurice D #45 should’ve put on his big boy pants and shut down the country regardless of what Pelosi and others called him at the time. This sits squarely at the white house steps where #45 calls home. He screwed up this country’s going through its worst pandemic in history. Remember this over 70,000 American deaths are on his shoulders let this sink in! #mourning n πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ2020😑

  10. β€œThe previous administration left the [Food Bank] shelves empty”. Why are they still empty after three and half years of β€˜your’ administration?

    1. Frump dosent believe in science THE only thing he believes in is how great thou are.

    2. @grantg98 Trump always find the need to blame someone else.
      Because he’s a coward, he doesnt want to appear as a moron.
      He thinks he know all, but hes the know nothing crook. We heard him say that he knows better then anybody else.

    1. @Dave Zirkle I agree with you. Trump is the Commander in chief and he responsible. However, most of Left-Wing Media reported that Andrew Cuomo took charge and he’s acting presidential. Despite the fact that Trump is in charge of The United States, Andrew Cuomo is in charge of New York & Bill de Blasio is in charge of New York City. IT STILL DOES NOT negate the fact that Cuomo, de Blasio & Oxiris Barbot did the same thing as Trump and dismissed the severity of the Wuhan Coronavirus. If Andrew cuomo can admit that he should had prevented the spread of Covid-19 in December or January, then why can’t you accept the fact that EVERYONE INCLUDING TRUMP dropped the ball?! It is very disingenuous to solely blame all of this on Trump. Also, why did you bring up President Obama & Clinton? They have nothing to do with this.

    2. @Study to show thyself approve Typical Cult 45 member – always someone else’s fault, blame “duh librul media”. Glad red states are volunteering themselves to be guinea pigs for Trump’s BS.

  11. He never seems to answer questions!! He goes around and around and still makes no fricken sense in the end like always!!!

    1. Trump has the most tremendous answers, that I can tell you. Very very tremendous, like you wouldn’t believe. No one’s ever seen answers like this. It’s a beautiful thing. All the people are saying it. A lot of people are saying it. Believe me. Believe me.

    2. mra29
      Trump wont answer the questions, because he doesnt want to incrimenate himself. Lying is easier

  12. If China doesn’t want him re-elected? Then China is in line with the majority of the world!

    1. China is an authoritative state and a communist country with zero freedom (religion, speech, assembly) and horrible human rights. They are the world’s largest contributor of greenhouse gases, sell us cheap crap that fills up our landfills and they use elephant tusks and rhino horns to sprout their morning wood. Democrats hated China until they found out Trump is after them for hoarding COVID-19 truth, medical supplies and equipment and our own medicine which is manufactured there. Go to China, you dig it there-but you can’t can’t post low-info comments on YouTube if you live there,

    2. @Mr. Platogandhi100% true couldn’t agree more… they would love it if we tore each other apart in our division.

    3. @Bryan Clark laugh all you want but this is what a reasonable discussion looks like… not that you would know anything about that

    4. @Rich I completely disagree with you. I don’t think that the media has had to cultivate anything. Trump has done that all on his own. If you get a chance, read the book, ” The Toddler In Chief: What Donald Trump Teaches Us About the Modern Presidency”. You may find it interesting.

    5. @Sharon Harris not accurate alot of what trump says isn’t what the media tells you he said like the whole injecting yourself with lysol… that is such crap if you watch the actual video he says “this new drug is like lysol for your bloodstream” it was a comparison, an awful one yes but I got what he was saying…. and the list goes on…. he’s not a very good speaker so the media takes advantage of it… Sad and sick…

  13. What’s really “spectacular” is how many idiots still think he’s a great President.

    1. @Vikram Gupta I agree with much of what you say. Trump is a populist prez, certainly not professional politician. My friends on right cringe at his delivery. I suppose the difference in opinion has to do with freedom vs safety on the COVID-19 issue. Our country defended itself against tyranny in WWII at great cost. I think everyone would like a more secure border, doubt if much of the right actually wants a wall. Up to now, our vibrant economy allowed my 3 20-something kids a chance at a career-I appreciate Trump for helping to make that possible after 15 years of basically nowhere to go. Take just one subject-China: For 25 years, the left took issue with communist China and as a democrat-so did Trump. Now it’s flipped. Why? The issues (so-called facts)-stealing land in S. China Sea/building up military, killing off endangered species, world’s biggest polluter, lack of transparency and human rights in authoritarian gov., stealing tech and intellectual property from US, problems in our universities, Tibet and Taiwan atrocities, etc. – are the same. I’m not sure I believe all that, but I do see a problem relying on a country like China to help us through this virus thing. They had no reason to share knowledge or anything else with outsiders. That’s totalitarianism. For a free society to fully trust and cozy-up with a China presents inherent problems-especially when the goal of both countries is the same-to become number 1. I am tired of cheap crap that fills up our landfills and the toxic food produced in China-my only real issue. I don’t particularly like the way our “critical products”- medical equipment, drugs, supplies are all manufactured in China and that was Trump’s primary platform 3 years ago. Trump has warned the US about China for 20 years. Our world is not nice. This is just one issue.

      These days, seems like it’s Congress/Press Against the Executive Branch/Senate and vice versa. I believe this great divide and the toxic collectivism it breeds is really hurting our country right now as it robs us of goodness, creative energy and the efficiency we might have if we worked together to solve enormous problems such as a pandemic. The right and left are fighting like little babies, wasting money, costing lives right now- even though we all have so much in common. How can identifying with hate groups and validating oneself in terms of what and who you hate be good? No matter what kind of louse we have as a president. Obama had his problems too. I’ve been out yelling “Seek Similarities” for years-ask my kids. And I won’t give that up. The only thing I know is that love always wins.

    2. @Maurice D “Your exactly write…” πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Of course it’s a Trump supporter who writes like that.

    3. @Maurice D the media? πŸ€­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ˜… DOTARD speaks and makes himself look bad. I don’t need the media. He’s digging his own grave. Just wish he’d dig faster

    1. @Study to show thyself approve You always mention FACTS. but those are simply news which you deemed to be true. Have you experienced things from the other side? Have you verified those “facts”, and how do you verify them? As a bilingual who have lived in both the west and the east, I have seen opinions both from US various news media and also from China, South East Asia, Europe, Australia. I am neither American nor from China, and hence im neutral in my view. I may not always agree with the western views, but so do I with regards to the east. But you, you go on again and again about facts, when to you FACTS = SOURCES I DEEMED RELIABLE AND HENCE I BELIEVE THEM. That not FACTS, thats just an opinion. You don’t believe in media like Fox, and hence you justify to yourself that because of this, the other western sources I hear about the outside world are true. I did not want to spend so much of my effort writing to you, but let me be a Samaritan just once.

    2. @Study to show thyself approve 1. Outbreak was identified in December not October. Get your β€œfacts”right

    3. t@Study to show thyself approveSecond. China “put gag order and killed people”

      NO. That did not happened. How did you verify that to be your β€œfact”? Is this just your own opinion of what happened someone wrote and you conclude that to be true?

    4. @ι»„θˆ’ζ–‡ I agree with you, but please do not refer to all Americans as being pathetic. That is rude and untrue.

    1. He doesn’t see the tomb stones because there are none. He refuses to release the money that would help people bury the dead.

    1. @Jennifer Cochrane Jenny-FUR Cockranranran…..Like the above buffoon you admire I see that you have lost all your marbles. I suggest moisturizing ….rinse….REPEAT

    2. @Study to show thyself approve LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…….INBRED IS AS INBRED DOES = Very Very Very Very Very Very BOOOOTIFULLY IGNORANTLY EVIL.

    3. That makes no sense. Trump didn’t start the virus. How did you come up with this number?

  14. β€œThe last administration left us nothing”

    BRO U BEEN SAT IN THE WHITE HOUSE THREE, GOING ON FOUR YEARS!!

    1. You must go through life with your eyes closed and your ears plugged just like your Dicktator want to e

    2. Trump admin sent 18 tons of medical equipment to China back at the beginning of the outbreak. No lie. It’s public record. Maybe that left the shelves empty.
