Opinion | Charlie Sykes: Did President Trump and Kushner ignore blue state COVID-19 testing as deaths spiked? - NBCNewsTHINK

If the account is true, then the failure to test was not a matter of incompetence but one of choice. As the death toll rose, Trump could escape responsibility, shift the political blame onto Democrats and use the issue to help win re-election.

Not surprisingly, the White House denies that such calculations were ever made."The article is completely incorrect in its assertion that any testing was stopped for political or other reasons,"

THINK ...how many of those deaths were because como put sick people in a needing home with healthy people. You have no credibility NBC

timsbird THINK If the WH denied they purposely withheld help 2 blue democratic states it must be true Dereliction of duty incompetence criminal corrupt lies & now students & teachers r his next genocidal victims Stay home & forget school 4 a year Kids r resilient TrumpGenocide TrumpVirus

THINK I think he really wants people to die before the election

THINK Current death rate is in line with a bad flu season, but Trump was told it would be millions & closed travel from China in Jan while Fauci said no masks needed & Pelosi danced in Chinatown. Then he led the largest drive to produce ventilators, masks, tests & therapies since WW2.

THINK Wow... Some lefty crazy folks on this thread. Woooooof.

THINK FAKE NEWS MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THINK Those statistics are false.

THINK Any word on your buddy Cuomo? He’s responsible for thousand of nursing home deaths. Protesters should picket outside of 30 rock because the American media is the true evil in spreading fear, hate, and divide amongst the public

THINK They're going to burn in hell for this crime againt humanity!!!

THINK I have said it over and over he is purging the population.

THINK How many of them were seniors, trapped in nursing homes w/COVID patients, sent there by reckless Dem governors?

THINK Or we could let the real idiots kill us all.

THINK I said a longish time ago they are a family of 'undertakers'. To believe that trump cares about anything but money is like to say, 'I hope I can burn in hell when I die.'

THINK Now this idiot is blaming trump for the virus deaths . I bet he is a Democratic operative. Opinion blame China for the virus. It wouldn’t matter who is in charge, democrats, republicans, the virus would have killed the same amount of people.

THINK Everything for 4 years has been Trump's fault. My God, we're so sick of Democrats destroying America

THINK and all mr trump has to say 'it is what it is'!!!!

THINK Trump thinks he’s managed the scenario brilliantly, but we, the people who are the victims of the mess he’s made know differently. However his monumental ego will never let him admit he royally screwed the pandemic from the start.

THINK 'If the account is true, then the failure to test was not a matter of incompetence but one of choice. As the death toll rose, Trump could escape responsibility, shift the political blame onto Democrats and use the issue to help win re-election.' VoteOutEveryRepublican

THINK Trump is definitely a sociopath not to mention I believe he’s a malignant narcissist. He is in capable of feeling any compassion whatsoever for others

THINK 1 million Americans would be dead under JoeBiden’s leadership. This demented do-nothing career politician wanted to keep international travel open during the onset of the pandemic.

THINK So, I assume Charles knows the perfect place to deal with COVID. I am sure he has been sharing this from the beginning. And has receipts.

THINK This President is the Takata airbag of US presidents. When we needed solid leadership the most he exploded and blew everyone’s face off and calmly replied, “Welp, it is what it is.”

THINK I agree with president Trump!

THINK

THINK

THINK Donald Trump was elevated by, and works for Russia. This is the bill.

THINK Live by the sword die by the sword!!

THINK Really- how many would have died under Biden? You don’t know. Hindsight is 20/20, yet he still wouldn’t have shut down travel from China. And lockdowns, with masks , don’t work. See Sweden

THINK And what happened to all the people who used to die in other circumstances?

THINK The Boy King will jet off to Russia after his loss Nov. 3rd

THINK Wonder what it would have been if we kept sick people out of nursing homes to start? Probably like the flu....

THINK Probably,sounds like what they would do!

THINK Of course they did. Just another attempt at VOTER SUPPRESSION.

THINK Good luck, Rep. Bass.

THINK They don't care that Republicans also live in those states? Republicans also contract and die of COVID- just for the record.

THINK President job is to save all states from coronavirus. Also, saving allies from this be 2s.

THINK Treat others the way you want to be treated.

THINK Have you ever seen a bigger PUTZ than Jarrie?

THINK No, their Govenors forced infected people back into nursing homes around those who are the most likely to die from the virus. shamefulandcriminal

THINK I’d love to know how everyone thinks we could have prevented thirds deaths & how our president is responsible because ppl can’t care for themselves-**blame China.

THINK Gotta love how the democrats blatantly let rioters run rampant in their cities and then blame Trump for the rise in Covid cases. If you're falling for this narative, your'e a moron. Plain and simple.

THINK I'm sorry but I can't look at Kushner and not think 'The Purge'....

THINK I get creeped out every time I see that wax figure.

I am telling you this right now., Wait, why am I stopping?. If I may respond.. Wait, why am I stopping?. A administration has seen the doctors, our campaign works for the passage o f history

THINK We need a truth commission in 2021. This deadly, illegal, unethical, immoral behavior can not go unpunished. Murder.

THINK We need a truth commission in 2021. This deadly behavior can not go in punished. Murder.

THINK It's a crime against humanity Trump must pay The SenateGOP must pay

THINK Kinda like you ignored this

THINK Nope

THINK The Secretary of Everything fuc*** that one up.....

THINK Yes. They ignored them by sending HUGE ships full of drs and medical supplies!!

THINK Of course they did. But like everything else, it backfires. Red states lead the way in suffering. Blue States are Ignoring Trump, following the doctors advice, trying to wear masks and Social distance. In the long run, the blue states will be better off.

THINK I had send email the him to the secretario general i had tell them to please I have something to tell them I in a way I talked them it is all because of the wave the wake the rime the eco the sonar the orca last year 2019 it took a year for then to see about the wave 👋 Oprah

THINK Notice how the blue states have the worst death toll yet they followed all this advice from Faucci?

THINK FAKE NEWS!!!

THINK You mean like after blue state governors like NYGovCuomo shoved COVID19 Coronarivus patients in Nursing homes

THINK Of course, it’s all part of the plan to try and win the elections. realDonaldTrump and his family are a bunch of psychopaths.

THINK

THINK Once again a liberal news program tosses baseless allegations out in the wind to watch their liberal followers buy it despite no concrete evidence to back it up.

THINK Murders

THINK NBC always promotes leftist propaganda and lies constantly to America.

THINK As much as I despise Trump as our President, I don't believe he stooped this low. I think saying he did without proof is nothing but devisive and disgusting partisanship. We have enough devisiveness in this country. Stories like this do not help our nation one bit.

THINK Make Trump pay at the polls by voting for Joe Biden for president.

THINK Absolutely

THINK Smart Americans should be wary of the Javanka Trump-Kushner couple as they are where Trump, the Fake President gets his idiotic and racist ideas from.

THINK Seems that way yeah

THINK If they did that is criminal. Congress needs to really look at that. Trump and Kushner should be locked up. Decades ago they would be locked up and put on trial. We've gone soft! Treasonous people Occupy the white house and nobody bats an eye

THINK NBC start reporting on the danger of rioting, protests, and mass demonstration s. All the New Yorker went to Florida, stop the spread of democrates. Stay home.

THINK So tired of ur biased headlines FakeNews

THINK They're not doing much for the red states. They came into this as failed businessmen propped up by others. They're going out as failures at running the government. Their only interest is self dealing and self promotion.

THINK You mean on purpose? ABSOFVCKINGLUTELY!!!

THINK Does Trump forget that blue states have Republicans living there also?

THINK If this is true, they should all be put behind bars.

THINK Of course they did, they’ll murder for money and power — ask the Khashoggi family

THINK Do democrats get their facts from stupid opinion articles?

THINK Did nobody tell the members of the t-rump dynasty that the blue states are also part of America. Starting next year Joe will take care of both the blue and fascist red states!

THINK Well at this PIONT if I WERE the🇺🇸 PUBLIC&had MONEY in OUR STOCK MARKET&it was my retirement!It would be HIGH TIME2PULL that SHIT out of this🇺🇸MARKET because OUR political parties AREN'T working FOR US!WAKE-UP🇺🇸LISTEN2THESE FOOLS especially trump&THE FOLLOWING BLINDLY REPUBLICANS

THINK TrumpGenocide

THINK The level of depravity is astounding. Know that they are totally unfit to be the WH but the notion of letting people die because they are Democrats is monstrous.

THINK I’d say it’s 50/50 between criminal incompetence or a conscious evil choice. I’m honestly not sure he’s smart enough to be that evil...but some of his acolytes are.

THINK When New York New Jersey and California were overwhelmed Kushner talked Trump into not assisting because he said that they were Blue States back in April and May if they had acted then the Red States might have been spared

THINK

THINK Criminal negligence.

THINK Yes. Yes they did.
