President Trump said he believes the federal government has been working well with most states in the crisis — but he griped about complaints reported by some Democratic governors. 'I want them to be appreciative,' he said.

"Our negotiations with GM regarding its ability to supply ventilators have been productive, but our fight against the virus is too urgent to allow the give-and-take of the contracting process to continue to run its normal course. GM was wasting time. Today's action will help ensure the quick production of ventilators that will save American lives.

Navarro and Trump said they grew weary of what they described as quibbling by GM and another health care vendor, Ventec, about the costs for the units. Trump and Vice President Pence had previously said that private companies were stepping up without the administrationTrump said Friday that he decided that, in fact, the law should be used in the case of GM and that American companies should now stand advised that Trump is willing to use all of his lawful authority as he responds to the disaster.

Asked about the prospect that compelling an order like the one contemplated with GM might mean a glut of machines in excess of need, Trump said the United States might begin supplying them to other nations suffering in the pandemic.— and Trump said Johnson had asked him for ventilators for Great Britain.The president used part of his press conference to praise the work he said other companies are doing in the coronavirus response, including manufacturers, health care companies and Big Tech.

And Americans want realdonaldtrump to representative of us, not himself. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpVirusCoverup

Trump’s incompetence is beyond belief, this is a national pandemic and you have govenors competing with each other for medical resources. As a healthcare worker I want my Gov. asking for federal assistance. Trumps disparaging remarks about the IL gov. Is proof of Trump’s failure

Oh, they all love you, Dear Leader. Get over it and grow up.

Well I want you to be led away in handcuffs. Can't always get what you want.

This is taken out of context like none other!!! It’s amazing how the media sits around and waits for a few words that independently look questionable.....media is biggest problem not Corona. Shameless pieces of %**

Trump should be appreciative that he has such intelligent, dedicated, mature governors like Newsom, Cuomo, Murphy who act with integrity rather than following party dictates.

Appreciative? What is he 12? Surround yourself with sycophants and I guess you can spew that kind of selfish, small minded crap without being checked. If you ARE a Leader, you KNOW gratitude is often the LAST thing you receive. What an embarrassment. What a tragedy.

NPR’s news... on coronavirus

Governors have to have big lips to kiss his butt if they want to help their states

Send the supplies needed to Michigan!

I don’t know what happened to NPR. We need to remove funding for CNN-lite.

Yes instead of Democrats calling him a MF would be nice. It the job of the governors to prepare for emergency for their state obviously some of them did NOT do that and they blame Trump for it! What else is new?

FakeNews

You're not in the business of seeking appreciation like a sad little boy...or at least you're not supposed to be. I forgot for a minute that DonaldTrump is a sorry little narcisist

I know some people who had rough childhoods - poverty, abuse, neglect. Still they grew up to be trustworthy, generous, smart. I don’t know what Trump’s excuse could possibly be for being such a failure of a human.

WorstPresidentInHistory

As a long-time listener and fan, OMG stop it! This is deliberately misleading / misinformation. Trump went on to say that the agencies doing the work need to be encouraged and that he expects the governors to express that now. You know that! FactBasedJournalism, right

murderers are just so underappreciated.

Hey NPR, when will you be covering the sexual assault of Tara Reade by Joe Biden? Just a few months ago your station was outraged that Joe Rogan said he would vote for Bernie Sanders! The horrors! I thought your station thought all victims deserved a voice? Hahahaha.

Imagine if the police, physicians, nurses, fire departments ... only responded to help people who showed appreciation.

We already “appreciated” them by sending our federal tax money. 😡

'Worship me or else'

To hell with POTUS' wants. All levels of government have responded poorly to the issue. The majority should resign as a result of their actions--both GOP and TheDemocrats. You are destroying lives in your effort. Government (the cure) is far worse than the disease (COVID19).

Can you imagine how many female subordinates trump has said that to?

If you don't kiss the ring, Trump will be Butt Hurt, FuckYouTrump

cue the tantrum from the 3 year old...

He is blocking critical PPE that was going to Michigan and rerouting to admin. That had orders cancelled that were enroute. Trump is a murderer.

realDonaldTrump should be appreciative of the ignorant electorate that put him office. Many are reconsidering that choice. We don’t need a POTUS who makes decisions based on how much you kiss his ass and praise him. Hopefully the real GOP will one day return. STFUTrump

We’d appreciate a president who actually gave a damn.

Morin works for all of us. His is not a king.

A nation run by a self-centered maniac is a nation doomed. Trump will go down in history as THE WORST POTUS , that is if we even have anyone left to write history once this jackass is done with his destruction.

People who support this man accuse anyone who’s against him of being liberal. I’m so tired of that nonsense. I am a moderate, and I am 100% against Trump. The man has proven to be idiotic and inexperienced. Every time he talks, it sounds like he’s babbling, which he is.

Trump = ❄️

Be nice to the Lyin' King. He likes it that way:

We all want things. He wants appreciation. We want leadership and humility. How does it feel to not get what you want?

realDonaldTrump Loyalty before service has always been his model. BendedKnee

Do your job!!! 😡😡😡

He invited no Dems to the signing and takes credit for the relief bill that the democrat's wrote and submitted! It's all about him and soliciting votes and has been since late 2019! But he has blown it with this mishandling of the coronavirus pandemic that he said was a hoax!

They don’t owe him anything. He works for us, the American people. Don’t forget that.

They should be appreciative.

seriously? All Trump cares about is himself!

Pathetic excuse for a president

Abuse of power? SpeakerPelosi RepAdamSchiff when will ppl wake up, GOP senators, reps? Have you all consumed so much trump brand kool aid you cannot see, or do not want to see, what is happening to our Country? SHAME ON YOU

This is totally unacceptable behavior from an elected official, yet we still see the Trump Death Cult supporters trying to justify it.

He might as well said 'Let them eat cake.' Time for the people to stand up and demand the end to this failed monarchy. realdonaldtrump WE ARE COMING FOR YOU FakePresident 25thAmendment

'I want them to be appreciative. We've done a great job. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Mike Pence, the task force, I'm talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers.”

I'd compare him to a petulant child, but that's an insult to petulant children.

Assholism on display daily.

can't complain about the chunk of change they get in the package. Can you imagine a conservative biased ,government funded national radio ? The world would come to an end, epic hypocrites.

It is not Trump's money. It is OURS!

He wants governors to be more appreciative of OUR money? Maybe he is the one who should be appreciative of the taxpayer funded golf trips.

NPR’s bias has made them insufferable. Yank their 501c3 status.

What? Your job is to serve the people of this great country and the Governors (man and woman) are people of this country as well!

Imagine being the wife of this tool, feigning excitement with all his lame attempts to do anything. Because, if your not impressed, you get punished. This has been a real hard look into the neuroses of Trump. Be appreciative, people, or no dessert for you! 🤡🤧😷😱💀

Does he want them to blow him? It’s part of his job to assist the states during a national crisis.

of what? that you are the greatest?

How about the fact that Democrats held up the stimulus package last week to incorporate identity politics, the Kennedy Center, as well as the green new deal? Oh that's right, those issues don't matter when you are a political propaganda media protecting the Democrats.

Praise is something you earn. Criticism is also something you earn.

More like, tRump wants them to kiss his royal arse!

Maybe he should do something to appreciate instead of screwing the country and fucking over the lower class. I mean I guess if you're a multibillion dollar company he's gotten really good at bending over and taking it so I mean I can appreciate that, it's a skill.

We want him to be competent.

I’d be appreciative of trump’s resignation.

Im sure if he resigned the appreciation would be overwhelming.

I dont think anyone is unappreciative of the task force, FEMA, or the Army corps. Unappreciative of his decisions, definitely

Symptom: Manipulativeness Sociopaths tend to try to seduce and ingratiate themselves with the people around them for their own gain, or for entertainment.

So very insecure and self-centered.

Lie lies lies lies. You didn’t show the entire quote. Very misleading. And you’re copying what other fake news networks are doing by taking the quote out of context.

That is his job. He needs to grow up.

You need to pat his head and say ‘good boy’.

Respect is a two way street, and needs to be earned not just given.

realDonaldTrump If you want governors to be appreciative, give them something to be appreciative about.

The Narcissist-In-Chief. They should be appreciative of incompetence and stupidity?

Disgraceful

'That woman from Michigan.'

And Americans want realdonaldtrump to representative of us, not himself. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpVirusCoverup

25 th amendment please the narcissist needs to go!

You just got tens of millions of dollars out of this deal. Can’t you at least report honestly about it? truthdistancing

Governors need to step up. This is no time to whine, complain and gripe.

Not just them saying it. The people want to see leadership not campaigning for the presidency.

Give the full context of the quote sheesh...I’m no fan of the orange man, but you do people a disservice when you leave out the full quote.

Appreciative of ignoring the elephant in the country until we buckle under its weight? realDonaldTrump GOP

For being too late, Mr. President?!

spiteful pos

If you lose your job and can’t pay your bills, take comfort in knowing that at least the Kennedy Center is well-funded!! Thanks Democrats.

biggest ahole in all history

He is 100% correct! Democratic governors looking to throw knives during a national emergency need to know that they are directly responsible for the good and the bad that happens in their state! Appreciate the good!

Sounds like he thinks he’s Tony Soprano instead of the President.

National Public Radio ... should deliver news not their opinion! No wonder Pelosi wanted to get $300 million allocated to NPR in stimulus funds from Covid19 relief package.

It’s the reason there IS a federal government.

Ya can't please all the people all the time. Squeaky wheel gets more money and air time.

🤡

Poor thing.

The governors “appreciate “ that you were golfing while the virus was spreading. The governors “appreciate “ that you were partying at Mar-a-Largo while the virus was killing citizens and calling this disaster a hoax. Trump, you’re an ass.

Americans don't pay tribute to any king, nor President. RememberInNovember GOP TheDemocrats

Just like a dictator would say

Wow. And like that NPR shows it’s part of the fake news agenda. Really disgusting and sad to see.

Complaining about the federal government's response without honestly assessing local and state government's response demonstrates a clear bias and unfair assessment.

hblodget ....Of all the work done by the government not just him but all the people at FEMA, CDC etc....they always leave out or de-emphasize that. I say we divert NPR funding for N95 masks. welfarejournalism

Too bad you haven’t given them anything to be appreciative about. You belittle them, you bully them and you lie to them. TruthMatters

IncomPOTUS realDonaldTrump golfed, lied and denied the TrumpVirus for 2 months. Our unpreparedness is his fault.

It’s called doing your job without looking for thank yous

I think Trump has directed response to the virus by rewarding Republican states with what they need.. it’s why democratic states are complaining! If this is truly so.... he is making this suffering political ! Throw the swine in jail...

Mob boss.

Now we know why Melania stays with him. If you don’t give him what you want, he takes what you desperately need away. Was gonna do it to Ukraine. Now doing it to blue state leaders whose community members are dying. Wants to take the ACA, food stamps, CHIP, Medicare away, too.

Those governors are acting in the best interests of their citizens. And not enough had been done since the beginning. If aggressive action instead of a nonchalant and dismissive attitude from the president had happened early on, a lot of this could have been minimized.

NP - his red state voters will abandon him as they see their families die. TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

Such a child. He even signs with a large marker... like a preschooler 🤦🏻‍♀️

November can't some soon enough. realDonaldTrump is a waste of space. RemoveTrumpNow

I don’t know what everyone is crying about. This piece wasn’t even critical of Trump.

Using manners not politics.

This always has been political! Trump’s numbers keep going up....

Glad these two morons are not running the country

Then do something and shut up.

If Trump wants appreciation, he should resign.

Trump wants people to worship him and sing his praises as if he is rising from the tomb.

It's how his mom treated him. And how he treats his kids. Family. ImpeachTrumpAgain

Sigh. Maybe running 3 stories a day aboutHillary’s emails wasn’t the best way to cover the 2016 election.

Trump wants his people to worship him and sing his praises as if he is rising from the tomb.

This isn’t the most twisted headline from NPR, but still bad. if taking one small sentence and leaving out all the context is fine then I still won’t hold my breath for you to spin something negative on a Democrat.

Thank you President Trump, and keep up the fantastic work! NPR, we know what you are.

Nobody knows the system better than me, which is why I alone can fix it Turns out that empowering an ignorant narcissist to make life and death decisions impacting the lives of 327M has deadly consequences. Many of us knew this. Too many still don't get it. Still.

Why do you not quote the remainder of his comment? Doesn't fit does it? This is why no one trusts the media anymore.

This is the same man who said in his acceptance speech for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination: “I have joined the political arena so that the powerful can no longer beat up on people that cannot defend themselves..”

A Child on the Playground 🤬

It’s not his money to be appreciative of! My hatred of him is boundless.

NPR: Nancy Pelosi Radio

Kiss the ring.

This reporting is just disgusting you don’t mention who he wants them to be appreciative of. He even said not himself. You are the worst. DefundNPR

I want realDonaldTrump to be competent.

Just because you do your job? My boss doesn't thank me every time I do my job. You should be thanking them that this isn't worse than it already is, dingy. Had the states not picked up the ball you refused to touch, we'd have a heck of a lot more dead Americans than we do now.

When this is over it is time for us to march. March on Washington and remove this filth and every obsequious representative who has allowed this to happen.

Fuck this guy. He is our employee. Fire the lard. He set this virus loose, he plans on martial lawing the nation into an indefinite term. A Czar in stead

Full quote: 'I want them to be appreciative. I don't want them to say things that aren't true. I want them to be appreciative. We've done a great job. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Mike Pence, the task force, I'm talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers'

He just wants them to kiss his ass and worship him.

I’d like the fed govt to be appreciative of the massive chunk of my salary I have to give them each pay period but that’s not gonna happen either.

SlackHQ channels must’ve been lit to get all of these news orgs to run the exact same headline and use the exact same chopped up quote. You guys have really sucked lately Do better.

NPR enjoying their stimulus money to bite the hand that fed them......

Can you believe a grown man would say this? He’s so used to cowards & toadies groveling to get what they want. Doesn’t he know how much they detest him & ridicule him?

He wants them to kiss his ring because he thinks he is a mob boss.

He wants to be praised for doing his job, narcissistic

Trump should offer up his hotels across the world as temporary hospitals.

Well I want you to be less of a dick but we can't always get what we want.

FO, Trump

Yeah, and I want Trump to be a decent, moral human being who understands government and leads with compassion, intelligence and ethics. Looks like neither one of us will get what we want...

Hitler jr wants death to the folks that don’t kiss his ass

Name the personality disorder behind this clue: “But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”

This is such misleading reporting. It’s completely out of context and misses the point he was making. Unreal. Shoddy work. It’s why we can’t rely on you for news. We must watch ourselves because you’re untrustworthy.

We already know he's all about quid pro quo and people kidding his ass even though he's doing a piss poor job dealing with this crisis. Every soul that dies is on his tiny ineffectual hands

Trump: you have to be appreciative of all stupidity my 3rd grade brain has done or I will not give you any candy!

Fake! Context?

That’s not how it works

He wants them to be competent and do their jobs. The Governor’s screaming and complaining are the one’s who are unable to lead. The buck stops with the Governor’s who determines what the State needs then requests help from federal partners like FEMA.

Translation: 'Let them eat cake.'

25A45 25AmendmentNow

I want him to be deceased

TRUMP IS JEALOUS OVER THEIR PRAISE THESE GOVERNORS ARE RECEIVING BUT MOST IMPORTANT HE IS JEALOUS OVER THE ATTENTION. The governors he is trying to block are the governors people watch for information; Trump briefings are the side show

There are no words to describe how badly this poor excuse for a POTUS has been from the start when he disbanded the NSC pandemic unit. To say that, where we are today is not his fault, would be a lie of immense proportion.

He fancies himself a dictator ...

Dictator wanabee, a.k.a megalomaniac.

such a snowflake

At what point is it self defense?

Donald is disgusting

COVID IMPOTUS45 And his narcisistic needs will push him to do so....

They are the jobs that you are not doing. Fuck Trump

Nice way to remove the context, Nancy Pelosi benefactors.

I would like you to do us a favor though ..... TrumpPlague

He needs to be reminded, or learn, being a leader is sometimes a thankless job - get use to it - Do the job of taking care of the American people; not your ego. Have enough 'self-confidence' to not need external acknowledgement. helpUS thru COVID19

Typical narcissistic comment.

I want the idiot to be removed to Guantanamo.

silkyhank That is what happens when you elect an insecure pathological narcissist. They end up delibaretly botching responses and letting people die because someone failed to maintain unending praise.

He was asked a question.

This partisan outfit, npr-dnc, is same one just awarded $75MILLION of OUR PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS. Meaning Republican Conservative POTUS-supporters even 'deplorables' as well as resisters/neverTrumpers/democRATS which npr-dnc propagandizes for. GOP SenateGOP this is an OUTRAGE.

We would appreciate you doing your job right and on time

And they ought to be. Lots of those governors seem to be confused in what is their job and not the federal government’s. They are shirking their duty to their people. Build an overflow hospital. Work with companies to make PPE. Or ventilators.

This is nuts

i mean what the hell, how is this ok? in a major crisis? is he POTUS or not? if not get out of the way and let someone do it that can and wants to.

DILLUSIONAL PSYCHOPATH!

No. You help because people are dying. No matter what, people are dying. You don't withhold lifesaving resources from a state because you have a fucking problem with the way someone treats you. no. No. No FUCKING no. NO.

use the full quote. journalists deserve prison time for misinformation. Presidential terms are not as long as a journalists career.

Seek help, you losers.

realDonaldTrump , if you want to see gratitude and appreciation, all you need to do is RESIGN! IMPOTUS

Release the whole quote you overpaid pricks!!!!

And you people wonder why everyone calls you fake news. Smh

'I want them to be more appreciative.' People have already died, and thousand more will die, because you were being a petty, lazy, money hungry bastard. You're obligated to help the country, it's your job. The American people are the bosses here, not you.

Let this be a lesson to you...next you vote...make sure you vote for a true leader

You are so right President Trump. Insee is a total snake! Can’t wait to move out of Washington state!!!

He’s so weird & insecure realDonaldTrump

Sick

Putin's slow-detonating bomb is surpassing his wildest, most evil dreams. How can so many Americans have been so oblivious? How can they remain so? Is it just FOX News & the GOP?

We have a spoiled toddler in the white house when we need a leader.

Finish the quote you propaganda network.

This bitch needs to go.

He wants them to be appreciative of the job the task force is doing because they are using social media for political partisanship, and are attacking the task force's work performance. realDonaldTrump made clear it was NOT about him.

We are now becoming two countries- a republican, and Democrat America- - like North and South Korea- we are so divided

Nobody cares. Focus on those that are doing something worthwhile.

What a baby. Waaawaaawaaa they didn't kiss my ass

NPR is the Enemy of the People. They wont air the press conference so they can lie to wealthy Liberals. 'Im not talking about me, Im talking about Mike Pence, The Task Force, Im talking about FEMA & Army Corp of Engineers, Nobody could do what they did!'

That’s not really the quote though...fakenews

He did say it. But come on. The whole quote?

I guess they didn’t get a pen either! What is happening with our leadership? Our country? If this crisis can’t bring us together, I’m afraid nothing will

I just want them to all check their freaking warehouses for the supplies that has already been sent. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Whiner and Cheat.

Hey NPR, aka news organization that receives my tax dollars, how about you change your headline so it includes POTUS’s entire quote and doesn’t make him seem like he’s saying something he isn’t? I’m sure nobody will just read the headline and not the article itself!

Jabba the Trump's right. Everyone should appreciate the work he's done. Thanks to his lightning fast approach he has only allowed 104,686 Americans to get infected. 15 to zero. Sort of didn't work.

He is a danger to society.

Silence is golden There's thousands of people doing what most governments must be doing and it's helping the needed and elders and not asking appreciation. But doing what nobody or most of us are not doing, in silence and love 💪❤

It's all about Trump. Meanwhile, the U.S. has taken the top spot in the world with 104,256 COVID-19 cases, accelerating faster than any other country. (source

Well why isn’t the media covering how many of these governors are failing? Also post how government is ran. These were STATE issues in the beginning, not federal.

How about do your job ya dope.

Is this real, or like that insurance commercial with the guy hanging a dollar by a fish hook with a lady jumping up and down trying to grab it?

We should be 'Appreciative' for a president to take measures in response to COVID-19? Shouldn't the health and safety of our people be an objective without needing praise for any action taken? Come on now

Ugh! He is soooo insecure. He must have a tiny 🍆

Where the rest of his quote? I saw the briefing and he said a lot more than that.

FakeNews FakeNewsMedia

I want him to be presidential, and actually put human lives over profits. But eh' you just don't get that with fascist capitalist Luddites do you?

Donald Drumpf may want them to be appreciative. We want Donald to do his damned job.

LOL That Trump, He's got jokes for days :P

What a fragile bitch.

Taken out of context. Why don’t you put the entire quote in the headline? Cause we all know almost nobody will ever read it. Bad journalism.

And they just want you to do your damn job realDonaldTrump!

If it helps, Trump's a paper tiger. Says some outlandish BS, ends up caving in the end.

Well then do something they can appreciate!!! 🤬

he thinks he s hitler

Pitchforks. Torches.

I ONLY WANT TO SEE MR. tRUMP'S FUNERAL. THEN I CAN DANCE.

LOL!! Yeah cause he doesn’t need Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, or Pennsylvania anytime soon for an election or anything.

“ I’ll only save lives if you say thank you or you’ll hurt my feewings” Said the cheetoh-in-chief. Also I apologize to Cheetohs. You’re delicious and bring joy.

Pathetic and small.

Im more worried about why some governors are hoarding supplies.

He wants everyone to bow at the alter of Trump.

They can be appreciative of the CDC, the NIH and other front line agencies. But they should be critical of the person at the top, who keeps undermining all of their efforts with his ignorance.

When can we please get an adult to be president?

What an ass. Appreciation is earned, and he hasn’t done anything that qualifies!

He's not a god.

You want them to bow at the throne of trump. Your job is to serve. You are not a king.

Small, small man. Absolutely shameful.

NightingaleElonMusk

You guys work so hard and put so much effort into making this monstrous behavior seem normal, or acceptable. It is not. You know as well as I do he’s saying “if you say mean things about me, you’re not getting help from the federal government.” It’s outrageous; you should say so.

Finish the quote!!!!! lameduck reporting!!!

Yes and we want a president who's competent. In the words of Mick Jagger, you can't always get what ya want.

You cannot want someone to feel an emotion.

Trump has American blood on his hands. Too bad we don't have a compassionate and intelligent human being to lead us instead of this self-serving sociopath.

I said it before and I will say it again, I wasn’t sure about our Governor, but knowing that Illinois has a governor that tells it like it is, and put us on lock down. Thank you Governor for taking care of your citizens, unlike the President!

He’s pathetic- someone needs to tell him quid pro quo doesn’t work in US and it’s not his money!

Trump is an a-s-s hole

Interestingly, it is not his tax money that is paying for these 'favors'.Donald Trump doesn't pay taxes. He wants us to kiss his ring to spend our tax dollars to save our lives. dictatorinchief thegodfather realDonaldTrump CoronavirusUSA

Kind of like a mob boss. 'Kiss my ring'. COVID19 dictatorinchief doncorlione realDonaldTrump TheGodfather

trump is a sad little man

Trump thinks serving American people a favor on his mind! Is there a job descriptionmanual for president anywhere?

'They haven't kissed my ring', 'I don't know why', 'But really, they should kiss my ring'

Back to the Feudal system. The King tells his lords to be appreciative.

Why don’t you print the entire quote NPR. Just take your $75million that should be going to people who lost their jobs and keep misleading the public.

Scumbag

Quid,,. Oh nevermind. 5th avenue mass murder. GOP Crickets.

Misquoting sombody on a college paper could get you expelled for plagiarism. Common practice at NPR unfortunately.

no one appreciates bullshit and that's literally the only thing we can count on from this administration.

his father really did a number on him

And I wanted someone with intelligence to be our President, guess we are both disappointed tonight, Trump!

He's clueless

Good grief. What a psycho.

He’s not a king bestowing his grace upon the masses like he seems to think - he’s an elected official that supposed to be doing his fucking job

realDonaldTrump he is ridiculous. I have been ill for a couple days but can’t get tested in NV. He wants to be a dictator (he admires Putin and Kim for a reason). Vote him out. Why can’t his followers see what the majority see. Conman.

Why are the democratic governors complain while the republican ones don’t? That’s such a mystery.

Indeed! They’ll be VERY appreciative when he’s out of the Oval Office

Trump: 'Kiss the ring'...

🤦🏻‍♀️

I want DT to be competent. To listen to the experts. To be responsible. Fuck him.

No Democrats and words of comfort to the sick or the ones whom lost their lives! It's all about the money, greed and stepping on the graves on others! He and cronies should be ashamed of themselves! Sad.

He “griped”? The girls at NPR strike again!

Bow down to your king.

what a baby

Seriously?🤢

We want him to be sane. And appreciative.

I guess he forgot Michigan is a swing state. I bet the people of Michigan don’t forget. He is confusing all the US states for Ukraine...”You can have ventilators, but I would like you to do me a favor though, you have to kiss the ring and say how much you appreciate me.”

Because it’s all about him. My apologies if the previous several hundred comments said the same thing.

He is so small and petty.

Enough of this shitshow.

Did FDR ask Hawaii to be appreciative when help came after Pearl Harbor? No! Did Bush ask New York to be appreciative after 9/11? No! Did Obama ask for gratitude after the ACA passed providing health care for millions? No! They just did what was right! TrumpLiesAmericansDie

I want him to be a normal human being but, hey, you can't always get what you want.

Is this Quid Pro Corona or just Quid Pro Cuomo. I am frankly amazed that Congress and the people are sitting idly by and allowing this man to continue in office. He is literally killing people. And not just on Fifth Avenue, as he said he could.

Pouting POTUS

For a person that so frequently touts his toughness, DT sure is a whiny child.

Die

And maybe just a touch of respect for an unbelievable task force!

Appreciative of WHAT, EXACTLY !

This is terrible. Can’t take criticism when it comes to saving lives. Mentally incapable of letting things go to get things done and treating people like humans.

The idea that each state regulates insurance, medical licensing, hospitals, and emergency response seems lost. If you want to see the mayor of NYC’s actions, read this.

Two words for the fragile, whiner-in-chief, but I'll spare everybody. I'm sure many of us have these same two words in mind.

We've got a republican governor who doesn't seem too thrilled with him either.

Makes me think he doesn’t have kids 🤷🏻‍♀️

And they want Trump to be presidential, professional, caring and compassionate. That certainly isn’t happening. He’s playing politics with American lives.

He’s one of the reasons I don’t believe in karma. So many despicable people in this world that never seem to reap the bullshit they sow.

What, kiss his ring?

The truth is a couple governers took proactive action which forced the federal government's hand and that is not a good look for the president. He is a lame duck so not really worth listening to anyway...

Mr. President. This not your company. We elected you, we pay you and your job is to keep us save. So please do what you have been sworn in to do. If you don’t want to work with governors who don’t treat you as a king, please resign.

Hmmm. Either get Coronavirus because Trump is incompetent or get hepatitis because he wants you to kiss his ass. Some choice... There isn't enough TP around due to hoarders and not enough to clean Trump's ass to kiss.

I don't agree but I have to say NPR: this is not newsworthy. It's not news. It affects no one.

And we want him to be f*cking competent but here we are.

Would you call that a quid pro quo?

One consistent and clear pattern in looking at the Trump administration is, when people’s lives matter, Trump’s lies matter.

You have done nothing to warrant appreciation.

'That's a nice little state you've got there....it'd be a shame if something happened to it.' mobsterpotus

realDonaldTrump is Bozo and should resign. We'd be appreciative after he resigned.

I want a good president. Looks like I’m not getting one. I have stupid Trump.

You cannot demand respect, it has to be earned first. His frustration comes from intolerance. You act how I want you to act because I am the leader. Act as a leader the majority wants, who respects others before themselves.

I want him to be a decent person- but that isn't going to happen, is it?

This is criminal behavior for a president at any time but especially during a pandemic. Stop normalizing this. Do your job. Hold him accountable.

Thin-skinned, self-centered narcissist.

My quid pro quo is paying federal taxes. Give Michigan it's requests.

Trump’s inaction during Hurricane Maria, that wiped out Puerto Rico, foreshadowed his inaction in the COVID 19 pandemic. Even in the way he brags, blames & shames, lying about his own actions & the actions of Governors. He is such a crybaby. realDonaldTrump

Appreciative? It’s OUR money. He’s not some king doling out tuppence for the poor.

they would 'appreciate' you doing your damned job

presidentquidprocovid

FAKE NEWS MEDIA is the virus!!!

When will NPR cover the Tara Reade story?

More out of context sound bite reporting. He wants the governors to be appreciative of the efforts of all Americans who have stepped up to address the crisis caused by the virus.

'I want them to grovel. Why can't we make Blade Runner a real thing, huh? Maybe a path to citizenship thing for the winners? I dunno. Give the American people what they want!'

How do we know? wamu885 and mygpb quit carrying radio coverage of the press conference. You silence realDonaldTrump and take control of the narrative. Plus you get money from the bill! needs to explain their bias

President Trump is absolutely right. NPR, we know what you are.

Oh, he said so much more.. Shame on you NPR. What has happened to you, NPR? You are no longer a straight source. What happened to your journalist? Folk, you must watch these events live or on YouTube. NPR can not be trusted.

We appreciate we are working with a narcissistic man who puts himself and his need for approval above helping people dying or suffering from a horrible virus. This man is insufferable....

Quid pro quo, bro?

You should be happy to help if you can

Dear Trump, F**k you. Sincerely, AP

He can want in one hand and 💩 in the other ... see which one fills up first

Why It is the duty of a democratic government to help the people. Serving your constituents is a thankless job. You don’t work for the people because you expect nothing other than your own ego being stroke.

Nowadays, I watch all these news events live. I have to or accept NPR's 'selected truth.' As I watch news happening live, I've learned to pick the sound bites that NPR, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox will try to vomit down my throat. If you rely on these source for news, you're screwed.

The republican ones as well. Sorry, everyone knows now

Criminally insane monster

Trump wants Governors to appreciate all services and equipment that has been sent to their state. These Governors are screaming needs to keep patients and nurses safe to deliver quality care. Govenors have had to identify needs, create plans then implement. All without guidelines

Oh, I give you nothing, and call you out by name, and call you liars and whiners, and you don’t appreciate me. Save us governors, and locals. This child is still in full tantrum mode.

I think he should act like a president instead of Don Corleone.

I want him to get the coronavirus.

Blue states... genocide

Sure sounds like those dictators who don’t want to hear criticism. Trump it’s ur freakin job ur not doing them a favor

Wannabe king 👑, likes the governors giving him praise and groveling at his feet. He doles out punishments to those unwilling to comply with his stupidity TackyTrump

And we want him to behave like a respectable adult.

I wish you wouldn't try to pretty up his slobbering, wheezing, incoherent tirade.

The tiniest man ever made.

He can't even be presidential in the most important times. He is such a petty vindictive child.

Hey WhiteHouse Democrats aren't fans or paid off loyalists. They arent employees or members of yer failed staff. Theyre not 'acting' cabinet members u can control. Theyre not bootlicking brain dead members of yer party. Theyre trying to save lives & u need to pull yer head out

Let them appreciate Pelosi and Schumer, who forced this bill into humanitarian focus.

Appreciation, like respect, is earned, not coerced.

we're not children, you are not our parent, take your lumps and get on with it....

Narcissistic much?

We we want him to do his job...so...

What!? It is tax payers money that is supporting the federal government!

You'd think Democrat politicians would be the first ones to express appreciation for the federal government's help, since Democrats are pro big government.

Appreciative of this administration’s lack of caring about human lives instead of the stock market? This is not my America!

The slime wants them to kiss his tail. If they don’t, he’s happy to let people die.

He griped? He's doing more than just griping. He's holding back needed supplies due to his partisan pettiness. But NPR doesn't want to offend. THIS IS MURDER, LITERALLY.

NPR - say something nice about Trump. I double dog dare you!

Dear Mr. Asswipe Why should we be appreciative for your stalling and inaction? I hate to be the one who breaks it to you but you have made this worse by not taking it seriously. When you catch covid-19 ,I do hope its painful and teaches you a lesson, maybe you'll be appreciative-

That’s not how Federal Aid works. It’s not a gift from you. TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

he wants his Chris Christy moment now

He has so much blood on his hands

Spoken like a true narcissist.

This is not a DEM or REP issue this is peoples lives that he is messing with. TrumpGenocide

He lives by the quid pro quo.

ICYMI Information from once source contradicts another ... often lately.

Awesome, let’s give money to the people that don’t even pay taxes.

Maybe he should have seen it coming like the rest of the world

This man is sick.

Baker is a Republican

We will all be appreciative when Trumpty Dumpty is locked away in his own very special orange jumpsuit. TrumpInAnOrangeJumpSuit TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Trump to those virus patients in blue states: Drop Dead

As they should be. Either that or do it themselves.

I don’t care what Trump thinks. GovAndyBeshear is doing an excellent job for Kentucky.

He wants to be worshipped like a dictator. Nothing new with him.

Well that’s not how it works Donald. You are suppose to take care of all the states, not just the ones who praise you.

Trump really is a very poor president in leadership terms. I hope that people who still support him come to an understanding that Trump should not be the kind of person leading America. I want to believe that we have not descended to Trump's level as a country.

Even the Walton Kentucky mayor's smart enough to rebuke & throw serious 'shade on trump READ stinging choice words! Dude's def NOT pulling any punches abt coronavirus One only hopes rural hillbilly folks actuslly heed words! Mayb try putN him in charge

This fuckin’ guy

It's ALWAYS a quid pro quo with Trump. And he acts as if all government property is his own personal property.

How is this happening. HOW. How is he getting away with behavior like this? How are we letting this happen?

He’s the evil within, and is destroying this country. To hell with him. DumpTrumpVirus2020

Says a dictator

Full quote: 'I want them to be appreciative. I don't want them to say things that aren't true. I want them to be appreciative. We've done a great job. And I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about Mike Pence, the task force, I'm talking about FEMA, the Army Corps of Engineers'

He’s right they’ve been playing politics. And he didn’t say for himself but for the many agencies that have been busting theirs butts. Gov Inslee and Whitmer are being ridiculous

We are going to appreciate his ass out of office in November!

He needs to stop this ridiculous paranoia. He is unable to handle this crisis

Narrator: he’s lying

Democrats aren't listening to you. They realize they are on their own and have moved on. That's why our governors are doing such a great job.
