Thomas Friedman: Trump’s Spin On Handling Of Coronavirus ‘Not Helping’ | MSNBC

And yet, 50% of Americans still support this clueless,responsibility dodging Drumpf? What's wrong with these people?

If he were normal, we would not be in such dire straits. Trump does not help anyone who is not named Donald Trump!

"Not Helping." The understatement in history of this country.

Don't you think it's a little bit unrealistic to think that Trump is all of a sudden going to have empathy and put others before himself?

Teacher: "Hey Donny boy where's your homework?"
Trump: "Obama ate it....I tried to catch him but you know, BONE SPURS"

"It's hard for me to watch" ... Fyi..it's hard for a lot of us to watch.

"Normal" and "Trump" do not, and cannot belong in the same sentence.

Trump has been a most discomforting President. Not composed.

AMENDMENT 25 it's never too late

Mainstream media should pick out the parts of the daily briefing were Fauci and Birx are talking and can the rest. Mainstream media should also just plain ignore FOX. The country would feel so much better

WHY,why,why are we not doing mass testing????????

Over 300 hundred thousand cases this is too much for any country to handle people please don't go out any more because this coronavirus is very difficult and very dangerous God bless

Such an ever evolving set of detours has made this absolutely confounding. Somehow I convinced myself I could make it through this presidency, now I just want an end to it. The faster the better. Odd how cavalier the prez and vice prez are , so very sure they know all there is to know that they are in the same room together. Pelosi is safe. Confounding to say the least.

I hope he goes to packed Easter service.

Have faith, the chosen one will save us, the stable genius, a lot of people say that, could you believe it, on February from 0 to 15 people we did a good job on March from 100,000 to 200,000 dead people we did a good job

NUMNUT on the podium.

And a chart to show which governors are on bended knee, enough to receive help from the Federalies.

I hope the Orange Clown takes off with the Easter Bunny this Sunday.

Bro, you're asking little too much from Donnie. 3 charts? Donnie only has 1 chart and that's just all about him.

as a Dutch European I just do not understand why media outlets cover these press briefings live instead first fack check and than bleep the lies before airing

You would also provide reports on the work regarding vaccinations and treatments. Right now we are simply reacting and scooping people up and putting them into ICU beds until they recover or die. All the while, we are seeing how egregiously inadequate our national healthcare system is. We have a system that responds more to profit than to the healthcare of ALL Americans.
Right now our action is to keep people separate ~ with 10 states having Republican governors in denial; bringing ruin to our attempts at slowing the spread of the virus while scientists race to find vaccinations and treatments; looking closely at what we are up against with this coronavirus.

"If he was a normal president. "
Done 💯 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😷🦠

Thank you both for the clarity and conscious spaces, for all of us to be engaged in this for the betterment of ALL NOW.

Preach brother preach !!!

It's like throwing paper napkins all over again during a disaster. He's in office 3years.

Thank you MSNBC ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for helping us think clearly, see clearly, and fear less, when there's no leadership for the country. Peace & Healing Light to all.

This man told the TRUTH, The Whole Truth and nothing but. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

By watching him you are feeding his ego
He has no beautiful plan
Enough said

I can't even stand to listen to trump's nightly briefings / campaign rallies. You can't get good information or the truth, he cuts off reporters asking pertinent questions, lies and is generally unhelpful. This is not about him, I'm sick of it. Glad I got that off of my chest.

Sensible practical and doable
He makes sense

Trump is making us all anxious!

Why are our former living presidents totally silent?

Where is Rudy? We need some kind of Enterteiment!

oh lookie an actual adult who makes sense. god its like music to my ears.

"What would you do if you were a normal President?"
500 dollars to any reporter who ever asks that question. No context, just ask that PLEASE.

Excellent video.

His supporters will not admit that this is a problem until it impacts them personally. We the People have seem to become experts at overlooking other people's problems. We pledge allegiance to a flag and screw over our neighbors because they might get something we don't. That isn't my definition of patriotism.

*Andrew Cuomo 2020*
The DNC needs to ditch Biden and nominate Andrew.
Hopefully, Trump will fire Dr. Anthony Fauci, so Andrew can pick Fauci to be his running mate!

Trump: I have the greatest, most informative Coronavirus press conference ever.

The US has a population of 331 million. Is this President really the best you can do?

Well said.
Stay home, stay safe.

Trump: "You have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero". So to Trump, 368,449 is a close number to zero.

DUMPF is ‘falling apart’ before our very eyes. LUV IT! 🥴

Let's hope we actually have an election in November. Also, I'm somewhat upset that I developed a loopy crush on Ari Melber.

there are enough ships to house a ton of Covid patients, at sea in floating hospitals and see if the onland problem lessens. if and as it does, we can recover sooner. why keep the sick amongst the healthy?

Friedman needs to focus on lives not money. Testing, testing , testing ...we need tests and ventilators. Call your elected leaders!!!

WHOA WHOA WHOA. It is too early to judge Trump's actions.
We need to wait another 6 months before rendering judgment.
You know, a Friedman Unit.

Sou why do you guys allow him to lie daily. What happened to actually calling him out. This is my issue with paid news. All of you should have a strategy of asking the tough questions and each one after follow up till he finally you answers. I watch in all everyday as I see a reporter ask a question he told them how it's a stupid question then goes on to answer it the way he wants to which is totally different from the reality of the question itself and no one ever follows up and says but you still didn't answer the question. Make him accountable everyday on stage in front of the world. Now is the time to do it. Not after this briefing when only your group is watching. Call this man out every single day because we as Americans need to know and see the truth.

It’s politics he wants to keep everybody all mixed up I don’t know any better it’s all about him that’s all I got to say about it

We cant make medicine or the reagents needed for the test in the usa. Who fought for this trump?

FEAR AND LOATHING WITH MSNBC!☠☠

Five days later, the current known US cases are 508 thousand with over 33,750 new cases counted yesterday.
deaths are at 19,833 with three thousand of them yesterday and today. April 11, 2020. that's three-eights of the world's cases, with deaths relatively minimal so far at about 45 of the world's deaths.
Now this is bound to fill the psychopathic narcissist with glee, but he is in the cohort with significantly elevated chance of mortality, and some reversal of glee may occur soon.

WHERE n the world did MSDNC find Friedman??? He's been n isolation since his blabbing blunderbuss kept going off 4 YEARS AGO. Wanna make some more of ur ingenious prognostications Mr.?

He mention normal president. Too bad we have anything but.

I am certain that the only American to not shed a tear on September 11, 2001 was Donald Trump.

Tom: one minute say one thing
trumpet: one second say one thing

MSDNC for the mutually TDS affected

what if, what if Pence and Trump push through a reopening of everything soon, way before it is safe. would there be any kind of protest reaction at all? or just sheep to the slaughter?
I saw Pence's face and out of the blue it made my heart stop and I had this thought. like a flash. it was a creepy feeling moment . It felt like suddenly waking up.

Trump has begun becoming presidential. Fatherly too. I'm not sure if it's me or he got what he was after and now maybe hopefully God willing take care of people. We're still America. Do good before election and Trump 2020. Please. Your people need you. They're either clueless or scared to death. Keep it up please. Being presidential that is

People please vote wisely this time

Praise the lord,glory to god,haleluya

40 yrs of fatcat control of both parties.....wtf do you f'n experts, expect?

No plans for anything. I'm still waiting to see his most beautiful plan to replace the Obama plan, let alone seeing any plan to deal with Covid 19. November to remember, folks, if we're still alive then.

what?

Vote on November 3, 2020 to restore competence, honor and integrity to the office of the President of the United States and the Executive branch of government.
> Vote for the health and welfare of your family;
> Vote for decency and compassion;
> Vote for the rule of law;
> Vote to make our Constitution relevant to our lives;
> Vote to preserve our Republic.
Vote like our lives depend on it....because it does!

Hello

I don't want anyone to die, but I think Trump on a ventilator for a few days is the break America needs right now.

Omg

We need a Tom Brady, not this backup president and his team of fluffers.

Almost 4 years in and Trump is still acting like a pre-teenager just when we need him to be an adult...

People are paying attention, and it’s Human Nature to not be concerned until it’s at their door.
📍be inspired by the best of Humanity=in your own way, do what you can.
📍Vote, & get the word out WE want all 50 to have mail in ballots, as well as enough Essential Workers to count them.
📍Take 10 to fill your Census in🥴

I do not watch trump. I listen to the doctor and that’s it.

He is. Not helping he's making things worst, he has been lying so much how can you trust him. The difference between him and comon sence , listen to Como then listen to Trump, can you see a difference, of a leader that works to solve problems, the other blame someone prior to him by 3 years, and say I'm not responsible. For once he told the truth Trump will not accept responsibility.

#MisLeader!

Whenever I mention trump* or 45* or individual 1* I always include an "asterisk" because he's officially an impeached president* AND he's really already just a footnote in history (in real time)!

lmao. dems still dont get it.

win the war first and then worry about the aftermath and forget your own popularity

He should be removed and jailed

This reporter is handsome

Reddit should start their own country.
Reddit should start their own country. Think about it: it would have a much higher IQ than most other countries. We could ban tik tok and fortnite, and every computer sold has to come with Minecraft preinstalled. We could also ban emojis too.
We all have very good ideas about society and government, so I think we would be far more efficient. I've seen so many posts with so many good ideas, not to mention our country would be the most progressive and other countries would look to us for direction. We would easily become the next superpower. If everyone left America for a new country, we would easily surpass America.
We could make Keanu our president and have PewDiePie on the flag. It would be the most wholesome country too!
Those are just some ideas I have and my own opinion.

He'd have to divorce himself from politics. And he in incapable. NOT CAPABLE.

Trump has a plan. His plan is to take all credits and to push away all blames.

He has zero compassion for anyone but himself. Liarinchief

Don't worry - six more months and it will all be one more Friedman unit of nothing.

But you elected a guy has zero idea what to do, a tv series looser

A.H

I've never liked Thomas Friedman. In this case, he's right. He has gained a bit of clout. In this situation...only.

Are we all tired of winning and are we pleased that Trump can 'fix it' all on his own?

I quit listening to the POTUS, because he speaks a negativity Rather it is about himself, not the acting as a Leader should. Sad. This crisis is the issue not the POTUS. We the People need a better preception on the truth, not something that is not factual.

Not too long ago, this clown couldn't stop heaping praises on Trump. Why even waste time asking for his opinion?!

So the American president is a clinically obese cheerleader and team America is dying, with over 20,000 Americans dead today! America needs a Leader and not someone so redundant as cheerleader. Must wait till November 2020 for that to take place and, in the meantime, many more thousands of Americans will die from the Covid-19, because of this inept and obese "cheerleader"!

You people seriously need to be shut down..Your lies about Trump are so childish that i'm even embarrassed for you !!

8:09 p.m.monday night 4-6-2020

"Modern presidential" is just an excuse for amateur hour. trump never made the effort to become president, and citizen trump completely botched the gotv's response to covid-19.

#Trump2020 😁👌

I’m looking at these whiners as a coming out video - ‘hi all - I’m a boy lover - NAMBLA all the way!’

Trump: "worship me."

Donald norm really? I think 🤔 NOT

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥
