It should be a criminal offence when your lies during a disaster cause harm to people who are in dire need for help and you know they are lies.

In crisis, we, as Americans, should lift each other up. Not criticize those who are trying to help.

Why should a former president have any say in how the current administration conducts it's business. trump should not be making any kind of "policy" decisions AT ALL! His input is not relevant. It's hurtful, and harmful. Hold Trump to account for every form of misinformation that hurts every person impacted by his butting into affairs that he has no authority in!

This should be like yelling “FIRE” in a theater..

Stop calling it misinformation. They are called lies.

[bunkersugar]

This is what trump did during the pandemic.

[pattikyle]

There must be something that can prevent him from doing any of this. He holds no office or political authority.

[MichaelRainey-hrcq]

These people are your neighbors. We watch their backs they watch ours. We are Americans. No more politically motivated lies. Support your neighbor.

And the craziest part is he is doing it to his own voters😂

[paulrichards]

Plain and simple these republicans that are doing this need to be voted Out, that's how you fix this problem.

[mlomeli]

How does this not amount to the "clear and present danger" threshold, like shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre?

[robertgreen]

Typical cult followers CAN NOT stop themselves and think on their own.❤❤

This is not free speech. He should not have access to the airwaves.

[rozied]

I weep for what's going on right now in our world especially at such a sad time. People should put political rivalry aside and work together for the good of all people😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[nhanha]

I told you put Trump in the cell. No more misinforming.

[troywarren]

They still don't understand people get information from people on the ground now! It's disgusting!

[peterjackson]

Nice of Trump to use a natural disaster as a political football.

[theheroandlegendchannel]
