Dr. Trump: Fake news, next..

pretty sure hotels have more than enough space to offer for them! they're risking their lives yet donnie doesn't seem to care! he has an effing hotel chain!!!

NYGovCuomo Can we at least get somewhere these guys can sleep, like a hotel or something?

Thank you , Trump 🤬

Did you notice he added up all the Ventilators in the Country(100k he says),& that they are now in'The Stockpile'? Trying to convince Americans that those 100k have been in the 'National Emergency Stockpile' all along(& that he had done his job),now he's ready to distribute them.

Italians now believe they underestimated infections 100X. Death like flu

Yet the hospitals aren’t over capacity and the mortality rate is EXTREMELY low. Hmmmm. FakeNews coronapanic

bianca_nobilo Lots of NYC hotels providing FREE accommodations to first responders. Good 'journalisming' 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

It's no use, you will despair, because you start to ignore the virus

SethAbramson Trump has turned us into a third world country

1. We will pray for them. 2. They should get an enormous bonus for their service. 3. Are there not empty hotels they could sleep in? 4. I hope neighbors and churches are caring for their families. Thank you first responders!

just a thought, but maybe realDonaldTrump should open up his 44 FLOOR HOTEL IN NYC to these first responders that are RISKING THEIR LIVES everyday to fight this virus. no one should have to resort to sleeping in their cars.

And I bet those heart attack deaths are recorded as coronavirus deaths.

Open the damn hotels for the cops, ems, & hospital workers

Yeah, the numbers don’t add up to support any of this bullshit. I am a religious viewer but your reporting on this has been nothing short of criminal. Lies, enduring panic, false claims, undermining every aspect of government. Back up your claims with numbers. Then maybe.
