Last night, in the most recent of several long and strange press conferences, President Trump announced that the United States had amassed 29 million pills of hydroxychloroquine, a yet-unproven treatment that may assist in improving outcomes with Covid-19. Shortly after Trump spoke, Dr Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was prevented from answering any questions pursuant to the drug and its uses.
AgenteTruffaut Nation of pirates.
America first! What do you expect?
Phoebejoy1611 They are looking after their own and who can blame them.
He'd steal off his own family of he could get one up. Rather revolting creature
Raufers Germany?
Oh wow, wait till you hear about China
icklepickle What has it become? What has it been for the past 70 or so years!
A nation run by psychopaths, indulging in modern day piracy. Or something to that effect.
Fat look out for number 1 c $$ ts . But has anything changed. They think they are a superior breed , when in fact your greed knows no bounds and the arrogance is astounding. TRUMP MUST BE ONE OF THE GREATEST CLOWNS TO RUN THE GREAT US OF A
It is foolish to blame America only. All countries pursue their own interests! China can be accused of concealing the fact of the beginning of the pandemic.
Whoever wrote that headline should just move out of the USA
JohnWest_JAWS Add in Paris Climate Accord, Iran Nuclear deal - how can you ever make a deal with the USA? The best we can hope for is a sunset clause in any 'deal' going forward being the date of the next Presidential Election. Then no one will be surprised. Only reality is bankable!
Psywin Not new, biggest threat to world peace, according to Gallup
Let's not pretend it has SUDDENLY become a laughing stock... that ship sailed approximately 3 years and 2 months ago....
Adrian_Quark Problem is the americans still think it is 1974 and they're in charge. But they're not, they lost that a long time ago.
A gangster state?
A rogue state!
Become?
juliatanner They have taken their lead from the Israelis on this one.
hey why u said steal mask u wrong
Its true self.
This is how America was built, we are now seeing the emperors 'new' clothes
A Godfather Administration ..
Terribly Gullible and horribly misled.
He’s a business man, not a politician. For gain, not for the people. Proof that the land of the free is not what it’s cracked up to be
Defacto dictatorship
Quite frankly a shit show!!
Mumbo Jumbos!
His people will applaud him
Killing millions in middle east vs stealing paper masks. You triggered now?
It has become a rogue state. It is rule by corrupt sexual pervert and misogynist. He talk like and act like, Al Capone.
It’s always been a bully. Instead of invading countries and taking their oil, they are currently taking their medical supplies.
Trump has made america great again look at the death rate & lack of preparation and those nations who are sending him the medicine are doing so at the risk of the life of their own citizens.
psychospen It’s become what it’s always been.
It has become more openly obvious in its dirty dealings. I wonder how he clears this when he prays to God?
😡😡😡😡😡😡
The world’s bully
Untrustworthy.
Pirates.
they were always like this, u ignored it before because they didnt stole from you. but now they did, you are all like wtf..
The world no longer recognizes the US and hasn’t since long before Covid 19. The pulp that 3M’s N95 masks are made from come from Canada...Can you imagine Canada saying we are only sending “our” pulp to 3M Canada in Ontario to be distributed in Canada only...yeah, me neither! 🇨🇦
They elected trump... Enough said
I don’t think I have ever expected America to act in any but its own interests. Right now, though, its president hasn’t worked out that cooperation is usually in America’s interest, so it’s playing the thick playground bully who can’t string two words together.
Are we really going to criticize America for what European and Asian countries have been doing for literally weeks now? France stole masks from the UK, India is also hoarding chloroquine, and dont even get me started on China. But Orange Man Bad, so what else is there to say?
Orange Man Bad
Liberals are sooo fucked up. If this is legit then you young people don't realize the sars thing and who was our leader then?

DNC Independent? No answer required
Wait till you hear about China!!
Look at their clothes sizes, they always want to have it all.🤣🤣🤣
A bigger mess under this president, vote him out smh...
Do you really need to ask?
He is garage, his father was garbage, his kids are garbage a D his idiot son in law is garbage. Time to make the US as irrelevant is it seems to want to be
President Trump is putting his own people first. JUST like every other head of state. America has allways looked out for everyone else, and you know it.
All in favour for real US Democracy ! All in favour for Pluralism ! All in favour for Ethics ! All in favour for Social Behaviour ! All in favour for Mutual Understanding ! All in favour for Sharing with Eachother ! All in favour for Solidarity! All for NATO and the UN!
He’s a disgrace
Pirates, amoral or immoral - check
KAG. America is finally taking care of itself instead of bending over and assuming the position for Europe.
Whether you like it or not, Its the GREATEST COUNTRY from every single point you could imagine to look at.
Yeah, wow, taking care of your citizens is super lame. 🙄 journalism
MAGA
As Trump says “Make America Great Again” but not a world leading country with regard to ethics or responsibility..
Well we know what ‘The Independent’ has become.
USA is now reflection of its murky President.
He should be kicked out of office. Better today than tomorrow.
DariaHassQT It's a country that brexiters want to do deals with.
KnittedKittie The man is beyond amoral
WonderKatu
what it always has been. thieves and bullies
What do you mean: what has America become? Nothing that it’s not been before, i.e. selfish dog-eat-dog capitalism that always looks after number one 😏
Unbelievable. Some things never change. Typical!!
Question is what has British journalism become? Nothing but leftist propaganda!
The hatred these jihadist spew is mind boggling
DariaHassQT And stealing ventilators apparently
KnittedKittie A reflection of its president.....
“Pirates “ that’s what Trump’s America became. Disgusting!!
Only a socialist would define that as 'stealing'. Of course you'd like it if thousands more Americans died, wouldn't you? When did you become a Chinese agent?
ShoulderDocUK Probably wants to buy stock
Stealing? That’s a bit of a stretch. And stockpiling? Isn’t that necessary to ensure an adequate supply? If he let masks be exported and gave away all the drugs, you would accuse him of leaving the USA short.
'What has China become?' Would be a better article.
Liberal BS
How much is China paying you to smear America? We did a smart thing getting hydroxychloroquine. China infected the world, lied for months, hoarded masks and PPE, then sold bad tests for profit. All these deaths are on their hands
well done independent. thanks for telling the stupid american abt how unethical their country has been. it shouldn’t be american first. TrumpVirus americanvirus
Corresponding with the picture of that incompetent president.
Way to go, President Donald Trump Putting Americans First M.A.G.A 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
i got the answer right here what i win ?
Independent shocked that a govt that usually steals oil, are now stealing masks. What monsters have they become!! 😔
This is fake news. And u know it.
Pathetic
Shows you how corrupt this president of yours is.......
🏴☠️
what as America become I think its just Trump is a thief and should not be in a position of power...... he must surely give the order to do such a thing? do we tar all of america because of one idiot?
Exhausting! The world is not full of well meaning innocent actors. We have grown so soft, I am glad he did what needed to be done for this country. If you do not like it, then Vote. In the mean time, shut it!
What they've always been, a country the benefits from the suffering of others. Time to cut them loose and let them become the pariah state they should be. fuckamerica
They haven’t become more or less than what they elected 4 years ago! 😂
Are we really surprised that they’re thieves?
America did not steal any masks. Try to stay current with German retractions. fcking idiot
A massive shitshow
The writer spends a lot of time arguing that hydroxychloroquine is unproven. Why care if people are stockpiling something that doesn't work. But she should look at this article. Arguing both sides on this rag mag.
All of the comments on this tweet bashing the US are bot accounts. I wonder who that could be. 🧐
PhyllisStein2 They execute people over there a bit of Theft wont worry them
You fool prior to China doc and reporter that broke the wuhan flu (one known dead others missing) China purchased PPE from around the world. And FYI America didn’t steal any masks. Told the 3m factory here in US to make them for america. Also told China to release some.
You are CCP propaganda.
All I see from the left on Twitter is hate. They are full of hate.
MAGA obviously and fuck everyone else!! The faithfull will lap it up and not see the problem!
The German story was FakeNews. India is stockpiling the hydroxy. Please get your facts right. This is irresponsible clickbait.
Blame your master “CHINA “
America first ? .. all countries should be helping each other in this difficult time. What a fine example of man ? a selfish uncaring President who doesn’t give a Sh1t about any body but himself and his presidency.. let’s hope the electorate see him for what he really is
Lol u must be sleeping when France intercepted uk’s masks just teoweeks ago moron!
The image of its leader.
A pariah state 🤔 as Trump is just a con man
piece needed to be written. painting with too broad a brush with respect to all Americans, though. the majority of Americans disapprove of Trump, with many calling for his outright removal. TrumpOwnsEveryDeath TrumpVirus
Yes AMERICA FIRST, if we can't take care of us first we can't take care of anyone. If we go down there goes the world sorry folks but that's the truth.
It’s become Trump
How about Chi-na being the world's largest factory and not distributing masks and medical supplies to the rest of the world? Didn't see proof of the author's claim. One of appeaser of fake news and CCP propaganda no less!
Dear UK friends: 66 million Americans did not vote for this man and his ilk. Therefore, there's a higher % of us who are sewing masks by the millions, helping neighbors, staying indoors, and giving back 400 ventilators from Seattle to other cities in need. We are the majority.
Russia
If America wouldn’t look after its interest you will be speaking GERMAN & eating Wiener schnitzel mate - morons 🤔
If America wouldn’t look after its interest you will still be speaking GERMAN & eating Wiener schnitzel - morons 🤔
America First
Stealing ventilators as well
USA gave China respirators and masks when the virus first hit them...Now we are low on supplies.. our 3M was selling masks to Europe to the highest bidder and now we have very little. Nurses are dying because of wearing masks several times. So stfu and mind your own country.
USA first he never lied , ppl have not been listening. America first
A Russia wannabe
Not America - please don’t lump us all together. Those that support the criminal in chief, as well as the CIC himself, are the horror.
Stealing? So companies in our country can’t be held subject to the Priduction Act? Democrats screamed for that to be put in place. We did. Now you’re screaming about it. You can’t make this stuff up.
Why would we give our PPE to other Countries when we don’t have enough?
this article is grossly inaccurate, blatantly false, and simply an opinion Hit Piece....
become? it’s always been like that, biggest bullies on the block
What about France stealing masks and hand sanitiser bought by the UK? What has France become?...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YUP, NOW DO CHINA?
I work in the Middle East, a British national working for the British government. If me or my colleagues visit an American Army camp / compound, we are viewed as ‘third world nationals’. That’s how Americans view the rest of the world!
Ridiculous! He’s ordered a company to produce under emergency legislation the DEMS also called for, vital equipment needed now. Trumps ONLY loyalty is to his own people. But lefties support Big Pharma now, and would rather see vital supplies go to other countries.
The reflection of its narcissistic president and vice versa.
Survivalists ....... what’s the name Duck Dynasty?
They are doing what they are best at stealing. What’s new ?
Would you expect any different from a selfish nationalistic state?
Selfish! They always thinking they're the most important human on Earth, actually turn out to be human trash.
become? the US was founded on stealing people, so stealing masks is actually quite a big step down
Great, love it. America first.
Wait, wait, wait.. why would the US stockpile a drug that doesn't work? And since it doesn't work, why do you care?
America First. If we don't lookout for our country then who will?
Just like every other country. All countries are selfish for their people
What are you talking about ? They always the same since the past . Just recently they dropped bombs in other ppl countries. Lol
What it has always been...
Despicable
Trump described them as shit hole countries
STFU.This is not some foreign power, you lazily waited to become a mighty military where we can simply lend lease you supplies.This is a world infection, and American companies should be producing for Americans first.If we don’t save ourselves,who’s going to save you later,again?
How old is this journalist?
You do understand that the Uk can manufacture those things the same way the US does, don't you? Oh and just because the government stopped 3M from massively inflating the price of their masks and then selling them outside of the US, does not mean they are stockpiling them!
This is utter bullshit and slanderous! Maybe hold China accountable for releasing a bioweapon on the World!
Jonestown
It's the Donny ...
America first
And on the eight day, the president created America after His OWN image.
Self reliant
330m Citizens 29m Doses (x 5 days) = 5.8m Possible Recipients. = 324m Possible Recipients short. Not exactly stockpiling sh*t. But that doesn't fit your Hate Trump narrative does it? FakeNewsMedia
It has become a product of its President
BUT BELIEVE CHINA!
Smart
Why are so many using this Chinese plague to try and bring down Trump and populism ? the same voices who lost for the last 4 years suddenly have hope sick fucks i smell a rat
hahahaha. America? Focused on the country bud.
Hey FakeNews how about you show how CCP funded organisations around the world to buy up PPE and ship it back to China?
A country facing a viral pandemic that wants to take care of it's citizens.
You treat everyone as best you can. Then according to how you are treated. NotADoorMat
UNA VERGUENZA
Independent...
GFY
A nation that looks out for its own people in a time of crisis.
1. we didn't steal anyone's masks 2. it's a generic drug anyone can make for dirt cheap, idiots. there isn't a patent.
The usual
America first, unfortunately....
What do you mean what have they become? they always been wankers now they just got the biggest one as their leader
Is this “The Onion”?
Uh dude this whole not shipping masks to other countries thing is so more Americans survive. I know this is a difficult concept for you but our government is supposed to protect the lives of Americans not the world.
STFU. They’re are masks made by an American company. I don’t expect you to understand that since you produce nearly nothing. Feel free to come take all the porcelain and fig newtons you need.
Also see People's Republic of China Please also see: they started it, and hid it from the rest of the world until late January. But whatevs, bruh.
Waiting for that hot Chinese take
lol
Bet you a tool for Communist China propaganda. You are lying! US is greatest, most generous nation on this earth!
america is taking care of itself first. thats what we are doing just like if i have a loaf of bread only 1 but next door people want 3/4 of that loaf that means my kids will not get enough to eat. globalism is a flawed system. deal with it and start making your own supplies
FROM NOW ON ANY NEWS STATION OR NEWS PAPER THAT DOES NOT PRODUCE PROOF, LEGIT PROOF OF THEIR ARTICLE WILL BE DEEMED AS FAKE NEWS! NO LONGER CREDIBLE. YOU CAN THANK THE FAKE NEWS MEDIA FOR THIS!
Yet nothing about China. Still want those checks from China coming in right?
Doing the right thing for once in its history
Pathetic reading these media spins full of misinformation that kiss chinas ass at the same time. How do we continue to exist with people like this who so clearly hate their own country and prefer China over it.
The Independent, the scummiest of the fake news rags in the uk.
You’re trash site!
What utter RUBBISH. How about investigating how China knew about WuhanVirus in ‘19 & still allowed their citizens to spread it globally during Chinese New Year travel? And buying up billions of PPE equipment through Jan-Feb. Surprise us & do some actual investigative work!
what it always was and is corrupt terrorists
Pirates.
A reflection of our leadership.
US 🇺🇲is adopting '🤠Cowboys & Indians' Wild West strategy once again in snatching masks 😷from other nations after Trump repeatedly denied the effectiveness of it & asking the Americans to make their own 'Cloth' versions at home!!
Just shows the real face “pirates”
other countries..? Like Germany? And Germany is today born sheep? Have you seen this video about Germany?
Saudi controlled Independent always manages to hook in a few thick lefties.
An embarrassment on a global scale.
It hasn't become. This is America since its inception.
What it always has been - a country of rogues
It hasn't become anything different from what it has already and always been.
Canada (Vancouver Island) provides the US with the pulp to MAKE there masks.
Trump was warned about the impending COVID-19 crisis, but he didn’t take action early by ordering the testing equipment and much-needed emergency supplies that cities and states are now struggling to obtain. Instead, Trump held rallies and played golf.
America looks like it's leader. That's all(((
Thief
Mob-like. Not to be trusted
BUT BUT CHINA BAD, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
