He truly thinks he’s god....but actually we know he is the devil, and his money is his only concern

Actually it is. It is US governments fault. This could & should have been contained to China only. But 'They deserve to come home'. And bring a virus with them.

... it’s trumps fault it got this out of hand. He was briefed in December, did nothing for almost three months until the market crashed. Why?

When Trump is no longer president, that is

Can you please get Congressman Massey in line?

When we have victory in this war, draft dodger Trump can get his victory parade, we can roll out all the ventilators he never sent, our doctors and nurses can march in all their PPEshortage and then we can meet at Arlington and bury the virus.... Trump is a disgusting human

He’s such an embarrassment! Him and his base make us all look bad!

When those of you who support this evil person realize he’s all about himself, the nation will be much better for it!😑 TrumpPressConf TrumpMadness TrumpVirus TrumpMeltdown

As a Chinese citizen, seeing the remarks of the President of the United States is as funny as watching a comedy.

You watched what happened in China, Italy and many parts of the world for several months without any concerns and contingency measures. It is normal for the general public do not prepare for this outbreak but it is odd that this administration has no responsibility!

Every time Trump speaks I feel the urge to throw a pie at the TV he’s such a clown !!!

realDonaldTrump dude, you are delusional and need a psych evaluation STAT.

He’s blinking more than Birx now. Is that the Cloroquine?

I sure hope it will be a quick turn around

💯 Fuckface Von Clownstick’s fault

So what is your point ABC?

Oookkk well yet another bunch a crap we don't believe....

I just want to punch him in the face. Perhaps he'll get a good shade of red without tanning.

Sorry, 'Well, it's absolutely your fault, certainly in your presidency, in this no more Great Again America, that you had promised to make it Great Again'.

Trump is a positive person❤️ that’s why Americans love him! MSM destroying the country😢

Take care of yourself Mr President! We need you

It´s Trump´s fault. For not acting on time and calling covid-19 a hoax.

Stupid

Panorama24H Its never hos fault, fucking never!

Yes it is somebody’s fault. Trump was given information in early January that this was coming and he did nothing because he feared it would hurt his re-election. It will, his incompetence will be rewarded by a defeat at the polls in 2020. BlueWave2020

America safe the world... I think is a normal slogan in a movie..just my though

Au contraire Testless Trump.

Who’s not smarter than a fifth grader?

BeanBrainInChief

Please stop transferring blame and start to work on the VIRUS! Every second you are using trying to find some ways to transfer blames you are using people’s lives!

This man will destroy US! US i now the EPI-center in the world, and he will open up... he is just awfule!!

is he still consider to open full economy since US is the leading on the most cases with covid-19? does he have a clue of what is going on perhaps world wide.

If Trump didn't try to cover this virus with rosy lies about how it's no big deal we wouldn't be in the predicament we're in now. He has failed miserably.

He’s right

Well done, realDonaldTrump USA has overtaken China to Seal the top Spot in Wuhan Corona Olympics., No concrete action taken yet., 😏👎 Shameful

he said people aren't going to be shaking hands now, forever

Never takes responsibility for his poor actions

Whats your point? The media caused hysteria and forced the economy to shut down over a virus that is less deadly than the flu. You and the rest of FakeNews caused this.

trump spoke to people who had coronavirus; he probably has it or either he is as dumb as a rock

He’s being nice to the reporters.. what’s up

The White House correspondents whca seem more and more impotent each day. A reporter asked if it’s fair for Boeing, an “aircraft” company to receive stimulus money and Trump goes on a tangent about the “airlines” never answering the question about Boeing.

this guy is sleepier than sleepy Joe Biden, listen to what he said about blame regarding trade with china

Shut him off ABC do like NBC don’t air this liar

Lmao. Lefties bummed the pandemic isnt going to be as bad as predicted. Never change goofballs.

Networks cut away they don’t do that with Cuomo!!!!

AuntyL13

Blah blah blah bad media blah China blah. Smfh. It’s all just dribble.

What he really knows about economics I could put on the point of a needle. God help us.

Please cut back to regular programming, this is pitiful!

Where are the tough hitting reporters? Why are the same reporter asking the same questions? This is becoming too political. Where's Peter Alexander? This is a shame. ABC is now trump's state TV

EVERYTHING the GOP does is just around the corner. Those test kits he refused from the WHO the new ones are gonna be here any minute.. the PPE. Soon. As early as next week....
