Trump Gives Mixed Answer When Asked If He's Talked To Families Hit By Virus | Morning Joe | MSNBC

[ginginjr]

No answer is also an answer. Poor America.

[mooingAlong]

He asked a question about families but he ended his answer on reopening schools???? If you are going to lie, make sure you are good at it.

[julietv]

Claiming he knows many, means all the imaginary people inside his empty head.

[laurooon]

"I spoke to 3... I guess... 4 families. No wait, 10. Make it 10. Does 10 sound better? Yes! 10 families!"

[staceycorteville]

DONT LET HIM TALK TO GRIEVING FAMILIES!!! OMG...THEY ARE GOING THROUGH ENOUGH....

[merricc]

And this, folks, is what it looks like when you have zero empathy.

[almafregoso]

Someone stop this joker from talking already, his silence might save lives

[misterjag]

This president is devoid of empathy. Even a mediocre politician should be able to talk sensitively about the staggering death toll for a few minutes, but Trump quickly switches gears to talk about opening schools.

[mastersullivan]

I know 2 people who passed away and they were friends of mine... I didn’t know them but they were friends. This is what trump said!!!

[pitdog]

This conman is a master at misdirection, he can never give a straight answer for anything. He has no friends, just sycophant groveling followers that want something from him.

[Tridhos]

Trump seems to lose a lot of friends like the hundreds of friends he claimed to have lost on 9/11 but strangely never attended any funerals.

[alee]

He’s always talking about Obama. I remember Obama crying on camera when talking about the Sandy hook school shooting. Going to the funeral and singing Amazing Grace.

[dk]

Reporters need to start asking this simple follow-up question: “Do you remember what the original question was?”

[desdoyle]

Trump doesn't have a single friend to talk to simply because they're all in jail.

[traceybeerling]

I'm so sorry for you the American people. May God bless you all sending you love from England UK xxx

[kaindog]

If Trump was Pinocchio his nose would stretch from NY to LA

[thebastardgift]

It has not,  will not, occur to him to say anything to anyone who have lost loved ones because it would not be about him.

[Glenda]

It's called "deflecting" - it's what narcissists do when they can't, or don't want to, speak about something.

[allisonvang]

He dodged the question, because he’s spoken with his imaginary friends.

[matho]

America, is that what “winning” looks like? You’ve elected a multi time loser and he is in way over his head.
