idiot

Was the figure wearing a white labcoat? What she a she? Was she black? A doctor? Surrounded by other doctors? No, just a figure huh?

He knows nothing re anything or anybody. A criminal's words; I know nothing. Important voice If you dont know her then WTF Dont implicate yrself eben though you have. (And you do know her! Liar!!).

The doctor with the “important voice” also believes that the federal government is run by reptiles. And DNA from space aliens is now being used in medical research.

HER VOICE IS IMPORTANT AND THE MSM KNOWS IT WHICH IS WHY THEY’VE BEEN ACTIVELY SUPPRESSING AND REMOVING SAID MEDIA FROM ALL PLATFORMS. What are you all afraid of? The truth getting out that this virus is preventable?

🤦🏻‍♀️

He left because the press were badgering him again!

Takes no credit for his misinformation POTUS realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse but wants to be liked better than a real doctor who speaks with real expertise. Maybe the alien babies will vote for you hisroyalhighness nomoreyears timetosaygoodbye

If a doctor reports that she successfully treated 350 COVID patients without one death, it should be considered a potential breakthrough, and should be looked into by the medical community. This is not the time for anti-Trump resistance. Lives are at stake.

L

realDonaldTrump tried to give the press a MariahCarey. nice try alienDNA

Coward

Trump's most famous quotes: 'I know nothing about her' and 'I never met her before'.

Pot Us you lost your mind

The ignorance- the illiteracy- the dysfunction...

She actually said “You do not need masks”.

Trump has my Vote...

Sicko

Big news, u guys are awesome. Not

Trump doing the moonwalk of shame

We get it abc, you don’t like President Trump and LOOK for any opportunity to combat anything he says or does... got it.

Seguro que era la vecina del 5°. Su voz es importante pero no la conozco de nada.

Lol ...this is funny

45 is really very sick man and needs professional help.

Journalists know well that Pr.trump has few mns for the press conference, why do they compete to spot only what they think 'dark spots' of his deeds?.

CNN's kaitlancollins once again makes a fool of herself trying to impress Acosta and weijia

He is a joke …

HCQ Saves Lives Stupid Progressives!

As the president of the USA it is his responsibility to know about what he tweets. Claiming ignorance is not an excuse he should be using in his position.

More proof he's an incompetent idiot leading people to harm themselves & others COVID19 realDonaldTrump Please, someone, lock him up already

realDonaldTrump ELDOUCHEBAG

The USA has almost gotten used to the lies of the president. But now it is a matter of life and death. Trump's reference to an antimalarial drug as an anti-corona drug has already cost human life.

Ahh, the Frank Pentangeli defense, once again.

That’s because when yqu give the only answer, nqthing is left tq talk about. BqtThqt

These fools live by any quack calling themselves a doctor but not legitimate, reputable ones. It's a damn shame.

“Angry, lying man gets huffy when confronted with his petty childishness and harmful propaganda.”

Trump is correct. Hydroxychloriquine saves lives

I don’t get why Bill Gates who isn’t a physician can freely express his opinion on Covid19 and Dr. Stella Emmanuel a certified medical doctor cannot.

I often take advice from strangers! 🤣🤣🤣

Here are unbiased numbers on how well countries do when using HCQ. Maybe ABC should consider reporting the truth every now and then:

So sad that realDonaldTrump as POTUS who should be the most informed citizen in the US, if not the world says~~ 'I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know NOTHING about her'.. ~~Wow. Really?

For someone who clai.s to know everything g about everything, he sure seems to know alot about nothing

Dr Voodoo says Jesus is going to shut down facebook because it took down her video 🤣 DemonSperm AlienDNA DrVoodoo

It’s ON Brand ... TrumpBrand

The leader of the gang.

The woman who talks demon sperm and alien blood medicine, just sayin.

realDonaldTrump

Here is the POTUS who has avoided questions and chosen to turn his back toward his bunker!

He doesn't know anything about anyone, except for an accused child sex trafficker, whom he wishes well.

Classic Trump...I know absolutely nothing about her but she has an important voice. She also thinks women can get pregnant from fantasies and witches and boils are caused by demons but she said something the orange orangutan agrees with so she has an 'important voice'.

He will be permanently out of the White House in a few months and the nonsense will be over.

Well WE know all about both you fraudulent crooks Mr trump 😡

That broad believes in Alien DNA and Demon sperm. She’s crazy. Her voice is not important. Hydroxychloroquine does not work however mask and physical distancing does. That woman is a fraud just like the orange one’s presidency.

Naturally he likes the 'doctor' who also claims that demons cause diseases 😂

Typical 😂 yes guys inject disinfectants and take the pills the less the better anyway 🚮🗑🤭

What a Präsident. LOL.

What courageous leader to stand his ground......NOT!

See movement 😂

We can treat covid in the early phase; and not leave it too late.

'Featuring figure'?

It's pretty obvious that he's not really firing on all cylinders. A sad thing for the American people at a time when they need leadership the most, not someone who packs up his bat and ball when ever challenged.

'thank you very much everybody' (Enough, you got on my nerves) lol!

That might work. We will see.

That's not what happened though. There is video. Fake news.

Every voice is important. But media/leftist like the Nazis want to silence those who don’t fit their narrative.

So he’s moved on from injecting people with Clorox to a quack who says alien DNA is being used. We are so screwed and here I thought 150,000 dead was a lot.

So Trump just responded with what anyone else in America would say about something they agree with. Seems like he is just representing.

152,320 COVID-19 deaths were 100% PREVENTABLE!

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when he tries to walk out like this in court. Un-fucking believable.

Run Away! Run Away!

Oh, God bless him. He just thinks the best of everyone.

i am from europe. Are americans still humans or animals? its hard to differ, they more and more behave like apes

No true. realDonaldTrump has been retweeting her garbage, so has his re-election campaign and cronies. Trump’s already responsible for the death of over 152,000 Americans. How many more have to die because of this man stupidity and ignorance?

untout the masks and dont tout the drug realDonaldTrump like you yourself should be doing too, tout proper nutrition and rest as well as dont touch people or their things unless they welcome you to.

His time is Up.

He ran to his bunker

The figure was a board certified doctor speaking along side other board certified doctors. Hey ABC attempt the goddamn truth please

150,000+ dead and counting. TrumpVirus TrumpDepression

Folks are dumb where I come from - we don’t get any learning.

How this freak is still the president of the US is beyond me. Never ever forget the part the GOP played in all of this!

Travel industry leaders ask Trump, lawmakers to expand COVID-19 testing to revive sectorA group of 14 travel industry leaders asked President Donald Trump and top members of Congress Monday to expand coronavirus testing. Maybe all travel points could get 15 minutes tests. Sure would help. Whoever or whatever it takes for this man to do his job right it's okay with me For me, the most uncomfortable feeling would be is to wear a mask while seated in the airplane for 4 to 5 hours or more and then at the gate, waiting to board the connecting flight to my destination.
