Pres. Trump said he is sick of all the focus on the pandemic, which has killed some 225,000 Americans, in the final stretch of the campaign.

Despite being the leader of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, the vice president disregarded C.D.C. guidelines recommending a 14-day quarantine if you have been in close contact with a person who has the virus. Instead, a spokesman justified the uninterrupted schedule by saying it is in “accordance with the C.D.C. guidelines for essential personnel.”Vice President Mike Pence waves to supporters, Oct. 24, 2020 in Tallahassee, Fla.

It was not clear if Pence would attend a ceremonial swearing-in that President Trump said he may host at the White House later in the evening following the vote.President Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at HoverTech International, Oct. 26, 2020, in Allentown, Pa. President Trump defended the possible event, which has not been officially added to the White House schedule, to reporters on Monday, saying it would not be large and would be held outdoors. But the prospect of another event surrounding the nomination raised eyebrows, since multiple infections, including possibly the president’s, resulted in connection to the prior event in the judge’s honor last month.

realDonaldTrump we are all sick of it but we have to deal with it! We need to focus on COVID19 because it is not going away and is actually getting worse.

The Democrats keep hyping the virus. My friend has a doctor that's Chief surgeon in a hospital and they have had no cases

Of course he’s sick of all the focus being on the pandemic. That means less focus on him and anyone who knows a narcissist knows they GOTTA have all the attention. He sucks the attention away from anyone near him. He can’t stand to share the stage even for a minute.

no masks in yellow SuperSpreader

Sick 😷 of pandemic? Sick of hearing that thousands more will die? Is that all you have to say? If you win with that in mind, it's dangerous for everyone.

Bullocks-talk without balls ! Does'nt make any sense !!!

I understand his frustration because the pandemic may well be the reason why he will become only a one-term president.

This guy never learned? 😳😳😳

If his MAGA cultists had critical thinking skills, Trump ignoring the COVID19 pandemic would work *against* him with those people, not for him. Intelligent Americans—Dems, independents & some Republicans—who care about self-preservation & their families are voting BidenHarris.

I'm sure the families of those who have died don't feel so good either.

He's utterly devoid of empathy.

We are literally much sicker of it. TrumpSuperSpreaderRallies

Americans are sick of being sick and having people they love die while you sacrifice them all for your damned re-election and to stay out of prison. Military, police, doctors, kids, teens, grandparents, parents...Covid19 doesn't care. Do you?

Off course he wld say it. It proves his biggest failure. His n gop too.

Covid 19 is a worldwide pandemic ! The answer to this is a vaccine ! Not 2 trying hard wannabe know it all socialist Pres Con & VP Con

He was tired of it when the numbers began to increase from 15. He lost focus 7 months ago, obviously, as he didn’t contain it. He’s ignored facts

Meanwhile more babies are aborted at 10 x the rate. For that matter 1000 black lives are aborted per day More black babies have died as a “choice” than the “supposed” total of Chinese virus. Sad. Where is the outrage blm Libtards ! ? FACT. SAD. MAGA

Oh well, I'm sure people are sick of getting sick from this virus, catching chronic diseases from this virus, and dying from this virus. So get over yourself from your sickness. You are the reason it is still prevalent in America. 😡😠

He’s sick of it?! Our children aren’t in school, family members are dead, and we have to listen to him run his mouth. We are sick of it too... and YOU most of all.

Maybe if it impacted his family by death he may wake up and smell the coffee. Anyway if re-elected he will not be welcome to visit,Europe,New Zealand,Australia and many parts of the Asean region. Guess Putin and Kim may. We don't trust or value him and his cronies.😡😡

He is sick to death! Families and friends of over 220k C19 victims are sick of death. The Trumpster always makes it about him. Forever the victim.

Doesn’t like being reminded of how incompetent he is.

DJT admits he is sick of serving and protecting the families of over 225,000 Americans who died in part due to his incompetence and lack of knowledge of how America’s government works.

There is a special place in hell for those people

The facts are the Coronavirus numbers are underreported. During mass casualties(pandemics, wars, genocide) historically deaths repeatedly over and over have been underestimated. Including today during the coronavirus pandemic. (1 of 2)

And still people are voting for him. I just don't understand...

Agree! Quit WHINING! Everything we can do is being done.... as soon as the vaccine is ready we'll all get it!

It is sad to hear especially when no one talks about those who have lived. No one needs that kind of negativity. If you’re gonna push the deaths you should push the reverts also. Never have been able to figure out why ya’ll like the gloom.

Well, I am sick of his lying BS.

TrumpDoesntCareAboutAmericans

And we are sick of him. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare !

Can you imagine if a President complained about the media covering World War II too much, when it was still happening?

Oh dear god help us... VOTE

James Carville said “It’s the pandemic, stupid. Joe Biden for President.

Well, by all accounts the big surge is coming. realDonaldTrump POTUS better get his head around that. Running around the country flouting SocialDistance & Masks at his rallies, Trump is willfully contributing to the pandemic. SuperSpreaderTrump KAG, DumpTrump2020

But we’ve “turned the corner” no? TrumpLies

I’m sick of it too. Trump handled it beautifully. No one would have done a better job. It’s not over. Talk to me when the US has pre- purchased vaccine and others don’t. Democrats should spend some time managing their cities rather than telling us terrible we are.

Well too fucking bad! I’m sick of him being sick of the responsibility that comes along with being the goddamn president. Just because he’s sick of it doesn’t wash the blood of 225,000 people off of his hands

Because he is too blame.

You do realize the Democrats have politicized this epidemic since day one for political gain - or do you just choose to ignore that?

His lack of empathy for all of America is astounding. He stands behind these podiums across the country, no mask, no cares. He says he’s sick of all the focus on the pandemic. Well maybe America can see your lack of focus has gotten us to over 200,000 plus dead.

Sick SOB

We’re sick of you....ok!

He should go to Jail for Murder

He is sick alright. But not as sick as the 225k that have died.

The virus was released by the CCP. If you do not take down the CCP, you don't know the truth and there will be no appropriate vaccine. Did Biden dare to punish or take down the CCP? He can't. He is the CCP's agent.

Political AND personal gain.

Trump is correct yet again. Over and over trump makes the correct observations and it drives the Establishment media nuts.

realDonaldTrump Guess what donny, WE ARE SICK OF YOU.

Still trying I see... 🤣🤣🤣😷🤣🤣

TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Lmao and we're sick of him so it's even

stumping for Team Biden

This guys a freaking idiot!!!

And AMERICANS ARE SICK (and dying) FROM ALL THE EMPHASIS THE PRESIDENT, Pence and the rest of his administration DIDN’T PUT ON THE COVID VIRUS!

can you run one headline that’s not an endorsement for Hiden Biden? Asking for a friend!

We are having the equivalent of 2 plane CRASHES per day, no survivors everyday! POTUS should be more excited about STOPPING THE SPREAD or just SLOWING THE SPREAD! Trump is causing this epidemic to be bigger & last longer then we need! Causing hospital overflows in several STATES!

It is what it is.

The numbers are sad but what is horrific is his denial that there was a pandemic, if only he would have reacted quickly and efficiently, there may have been fewer deaths, but that’s on him

Oh poor baby. My heart bleeds. Not. Grow up

Who at quashed the Epstein and Hunter Biden story?

Defy pandemic for human gain. China_should_pay.

realDonaldTrump is a cruel idiot that needs to be voted out! TrumpDeathToll225k TrumpVirusCatastrophe TrumpCovidHoax GOPCorruptionOverCountry WearAMask

Trump's super spreaders events or as i like to call them 'The walking dead☠️ 2020 Events'Don't forget to sign up for a chance to win a medical oxygen ventilator autographed by Trump 😲😷

Well, I am sick of the Pandemic also. Sadly, our little rural area is growing in cases. Testing is shitty. 9 months later and the US is a joke because the leader of the country is ignoring the problem and concerned with the economic for his re election.

DavidDickelman He’s jealous of COVID

Woah!!!

We are all sick of it.

We are sick of trump BidenHarris2020ToSaveAmerica

He has done all he could. What would you have done? What would Plugs have done? Al, he said was the same that has been done andTrust The Science. Sure biteme !

We are sick of that silly mutherclucker TOO!

ABC news SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! American people are very happy that Trump and Pence are trying to get out there and make us feel normal again! You are so far off from what American REALLY THINKS!! Terrible news!!!!!!!!!!!

Because it’s getting more attention than him. Narcissist

Of course he is - because it's his BIGGEST FAILURE!!! Almost a quarter million people DEAD because he didn't have a plan, or really care to come up with one! He went golfing instead. So yeah, he's failed this country big time!

Nav2115 He's sick of any focus on anything that doesn't have the effect of making him look good.

So many families mourning the loss of loved ones. So many still sick and dying, yet the president is upset with media coverage, not the pain and suffering of COVID victims. How can America possibly justify reelecting a leader with no empathy for those he was elected to serve?

By Jan 21st it’ll be 350k - thanks Donnie

It’s because the mainstream FakeNewsMedia don’t want him to talk about anything else, which are equally or more important: foreign policies, corruption of Biden family & involvement of many other Dems BidenIsCompromised DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Shouldn’t it be ‘attempted’ political gain as it is not working

The great majority had underlying conditions that they would have died from sooner than later.

Funny, we feel the same about you donald.

665,000 from the flu last year.

He’s tired of killing people? Great! Step aside and let a REAL leader take over! VoteBidenPA

realDonaldTrump is so very jealous of COVID-19. That mean virus has taken some attention from him. 😭 TrumpIsALoser VOTE

Global

And we’re all sick of of realDonaldTrump and his lack of empathy for the sick and dying. All he thinks about or wants to talk about is himself. Disgusting.

He’s worthless. Never gave a shit from the start.

OMG

It killed my mother...

COVID-19 fatigue. Can’t blame anyone other than the media. Non stop fear mongering parade. More cases less deaths.

Same

Including his brother?!

Pathetic! Heartless!

We are kind of sick of him.

We all are! ChumpsForTrump

What happened to the flu? Where’s Hunter? scamdemic2020

Is he Sick of 225,000 US Citizens Dying from Coronavirus? What the Hell is he talking about? He's the One who waited 5 months before he decided to try to Something about it. Now that it's getting out of Control, he wants to change the Subject. What kind of Leadership is that?

225k families who lost a loved one - someone’s mother, father, grandparent, sibling, child... I cannot understand his Christian supporters that are ok with this. Why would they believe him over the doctors and scientists? TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Guess they want people to focus on all his lies.

Pure Negligence

He’s sick of all the focus on the pandemic? Well most Americans are sick of him 🤨

Is it me or does it seem like Trump is aggravated the pandemic is getting more airtime than him? Only a shallow person would be that petty.

We need to vote him out by the millions UnfitForOffice TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpCollapse

Guess what we’re sick of.

I guess when you've done a horrible job I wouldn't want that facing me every second

Too bad!

“It is what it is” says his little orange accordion hands.

TO ALL OF TRUMP SUPPORTERS WHO ATTENDED RALLIES AND CAUGHT COVID 19: PLEASE SPEAK UP TO THOSE SUPPORTERS WHO HAVEN’T GOT IT YET TO LET THEM KNOW TRUMP IS WRONG! TELL THEM YOU CAUGHT IT AFTER ATTENDING! HELP CONVINCE OTHERS! PLEASE!!!!!

Look at that picture. Do you think he told those people to wear a mask? He's sick of it but he won't do anything about it. I think the GOP has lost their use of pro-life. People getting sick and dying is fine. People killing with guns is fine.

This virus isn't going to go away on its own. We need a LEADER!!!

Wow... so much for “public service”

And I’m sick of his lying orange face.

We are sick of him....Biden2020!

Let us talk about your taxes, after the corona pandemic.

We’re sick of it too and we could be New Zealand if not for the lack of leadership.

We are all sick of the focus on the pandemic....news media has got lazy and is riding this way to hard....99.9 survival rate....get over it.

1918 Pandemic Flu Featured snippet from the web It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world's population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the US

DavidDickelman He and Oence are going on their last rallies hoping to spread 🦠🦠🦠🦠as a reminder they were once in the WH,

Typical Trump! He just wants to keep his head in the sand to avoid reality!

And we're all done with him. Toss his a** out Nov 3rd.. Done with this orange nut✌

Tisk tisk

tRump ONLY cares about himself

Oh so its that number.

Good, because I’m sick of all the focus on realDonaldTrump. LameDonaldDuck

If this is true, then he should do something about. He’s a genius right!!!
