  1. I always thought Make America Great Again was just another untruthful slogan. But it turned out to be completely true, America has the GREATEST total of Covid deaths. (All thanks to Trumps multiple personality disorders).

  2. How’s it going now with President Senility in charge. The President that claims he created a vaccine that existed under the previous administration and whom he got a vaccination himself under the previous administration.

  3. Trump threw out the National Pandemic Response Plan

    Trump eliminated the National Pandemic Response Unit

    Trump removed the National Pandemic Response Personnel from the National Security Council.

    Trump said they were not needed and "I could get the right people if something ever happened"

    Jared was not the right person when covid- 19 happened

    The Pandemic Response Unit which stopped…

    H1N1

    H5N5 – Avian Flu

    SARS

    Spanish Flu 2

    Ebola

    Bush had 3 pandemics

    Obama had 5 pandemics

    Bush & Obama never had to close the country. Most people did not know there were pandemics during the Bush & Obama administrations.

    Evidence Shows Obama Team Left A Pandemic ‘Game Plan’ For Trump Administration

    'Gross misjudgment': Experts say Trump's decision to disband pandemic team hindered coronavirus response

  4. I'd like to know from the people who said "Lock her up", whether, in their opinion, Trump's response to the virus comes anywhere close to being as bad, as Hillary's "erasing her e-mails". Maybe they should be locked up together in the same cell block. Hillary should get twice as many privilages and 1/100th of the jail time.

  5. I am a german, I never watch news. I am collecting some video material for a video project. If I watched stuff like that regularely, I would go clinically insane.

  6. I notice NY is finally going to use the Covid test kits they claimed they didn’t have. Why didn’t they use some to test the seniors in nursing homes that they carelessly infected with Covid by housing them with Covid patients

  7. How the heck did people forget hitler ,he also traded lives for money and public appreciation ,that's Trump now but even worse looking at the figures

  8. You must get rid of this terrible person, USA!

  9. Wow he really goin crazy this week

  10. Is Flump clinically insane ? God help America.

  11. They have slandered the president since day one so I don’t blame him for going after people. Many others feel the same

  12. 2 full rounds!!!!!! UGHhhhhhhh I'm almost as Pee O'ed about that as I am the main stream media lying about the Covidnation of deaths that only affect the same people as the regular flu (old and unhealthy people). #Outtaproportion

  13. A lying failed trump administration

  14. Thank God we have Trump to deal with the Wuhan flu. Hillarys response would have been to give china what's left of the country

  15. Open the country back up go back to work….

  16. January 22 "We have it totally under control." It never was.
    February 24 "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA." It never was.
    February 25 "We have very few people with it, and the people that have it are, getting better." Denied reality.
    "We have contained this. I won’t say airtight, but pretty close to airtight." Yea.
    February 26 "And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done." Yea, that happened.
    February 28 "It’s going to disappear. One day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear." Yea.
    March 2 "We had a great meeting today with a lot of the great companies and they're going to have vaccines, I think relatively soon." Outright lie.
    March 6 "Anybody that needs a test, gets a test. They’re there. They have the tests." HA HA HA
    March 7 "Anyone who wants a test can get one." Still cannot.
    March 9 "So last year 37,000 Americans died from the common Flu. It averages between 27,000 and 70,000 per year. Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on." That is downplaying the seriousness of this virus.
    March 10 "And we’re prepared, and we’re doing a great job with it. And it will go away." Hmmm
    March 12 "The United States, because of what I did and what the administration did with China, we have 22 deaths at this point, when you look at the kind of numbers that you’re seeing coming out of other countries, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it." 103,227 deaths later.
    March 17 "I've always known this is a real, this is a pandemic. I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." Another outright lie.
    He gutted the pandemic response team because of his hatred of Obama. The CDC would have been monitoring infection diseases internationally had he not done so.

  17. Really a no win situation for the president. If he was a Democrat he would get a pass by the media. 65 million Americans had the swine flu. There were less deaths but Obama got a pass

  18. That's Right Trump! Git it Big Dawg!!

  19. NBC…fear & misinformation experts

  20. https://youtu.be/XSzLty1qAv4 The controlled media spreading division with bias falsehood ideas and hate is nothing new. Is the media today any different than it was back when John F. Kennedy was President?
    John F. Kennedy, a Democratic President lowered taxes, opposed abortion, supported gun rights, supported free and independent media, free health system, free educational system and believed in a strong military. He was the Trump of his era whom the secret societies and its controlled media didn't like.
    His own party didn't like him either! but he was still a proud Democrat. Listen to him in this attachment how he was asking the media to do their job and to help him bring the secret societies to the light. But what JFK didn't know was that the media was part of them. We should be careful and question the media seven times over.
    You see, to these secret societies a political party makes no difference. They want to control them both as they want to control the media, the banking system, the health system, the educational system as well as our military and the rest of the high ranks in every federal department, including but not limited to, the President. They would prefer to have a puppet as President.
    Every now and then we have had a President that was not part of this club, Democrats and Republicans alike. They all have two things in common. They were against the secret societies and they all got assassinated. Everyone but Trump. These societies know how much Americans love Trump and how far are they willing to go to protect him above all. They will think twice this time around. They can't touch him directly so they are using every controlled medium to make him look as the evil one.
    Can you name a few of these Presidents? You can probably do… but No, it was not any of the Bush's. Nor Obama or Clinton. They never tried to fight the little men behind the curtains but instead contributed to their globalist NWO agenda of total control.
    How about Kennedy? Yeah, JFK was not part of them. What about Trump? yeap, Trump is not part of that club either. This is why it is important for the controlled media to make him look as an enemy of the nation and the people, because he, as JFK, represent a real threat to their global agenda.
    As JFK, Trump is not an enemy of us or our nation. He is an enemy of the secret societies that want to destroy America to bring the world into a single government and gain total control. The NWO, as they call it. This is in public records today… it is not a conspiracy theory and it's not even a secret any more. They say it publicly all the time. So I ask you again; Is the media any different today than it was when JFK was POTUS?

  21. He's incompetent! If he didn't lie about it in the 1st place and made sure our country had all the supplies needed than there wouldn't be so many deaths!

  22. Vote.org get your mail in ballots before the GOP takes your right to vote away. Gerrymandering in GOP already places GOP ahead before the first vote is cast

  23. Shut up fake news..!!

  24. stacy abrams is a fraud

  25. You do realize Nancy Pelosi and others were saying he was being racist and xenophobic for stopping travel to and from China. They even encouraged people to visit Chinatown, imagine that lol

  26. Going from 6 cases to over a million in the us. THE ONLY THING WRONG IS
    # NOT MY PRESENT.

  27. Americans are not healthy in general. Too many obese, diabetic, and generally unhealthy people. We also have a lot of elderly that died.

  28. People died from a virus but yea blame everyone for nature.

  29. MSNBC or ABC, what does him playing golf have to do with anything??? You idiots just sit there reporting fake news while he was actually making an effort to make some changes and save some lives… You all are a joke!!

  30. Well we all didnt die soooooooo win?

  31. Talk about Presidential decorum.

  32. What if his kids died of this . Oh it would be different..

  33. Exactly it’s not in the millions I feel for the families but the facts speak for themselves I’m tired of hearing this

  34. Can NBC show it’s bias any more?? Come on..
