“I don’t think science knows” -person who claimed there were airports in 1776

Are Trump and Biden really the only puppets we get to choose from?

[vincentradford]

My god, just when I think this circus of an administration can't get any stupider

[jackfrost]

Didn't downplay it ? You basically ignored it and said it would just go away.

[CHASINGPROFITS]

Sleepy Joe what's wrong with Trump saying and I qoute. "A lot of people think masks are not good" I don't see him saying don't wear your masks. Wake up Joe your not a contender.

[halfwaydowntheroad]

Hey NBC and all the other outlets, don't ask him about the word "downplay" anymore because he just gets himself off the hook. Focus on the word "hoax" and it'll be much better. Really disappointing no one asks him, "why'd you call it a hoax?" That should've been the question that woman asked.

Why does the news still report on trump as if they are SHOCKED its so deceiving ( I also h8 trump)

[gladwinguster]

Dear president we need herd immunity, herd mentality we already have it.

[willybeama]

Dear God. He implies herd immunity and 3 seconds later his talking head says that never happened. Wtf?!?

[presto]

He says what he needs to in the moment. He doesnt care about actually telling the truth, Just the lie that he needs in that moment.

[brycebray]

Herd immunity = 2 million dead, immunity lasts

[danielleahy]

Mr Trump why didn't you tell us the truth?

[TycoVai]

The sun is going to disappear in time. No need to worry about sun burn.

[confusedzombie]

"It's like a miracle, it'll just disappear!"

[treks]

This guy makes his own time lines... Trump: You said your birthday is oct 5. I think your confused...its a lot sooner... you wait and see its gonna get cooler too...

[flyingtiger]

Hand carry absentee/VBM ballot to a ballot drop box or best yet hand deliver ballot to county/local elections office. Ballots leave a paper trail. If u must mail it, mail it very early. Or if your state offers in-person early voting, wear a mask, and early vote in person! NeverTrump BidenHarris2020

[sal]

0:29 Yes you did. We have you on tape saying you did.

[ianreed]

Why doesn't he just tell everyone to wear a mask and socially distance instead of saying outlandish things like herd mentality and magically disappear?!😂😂😂

[michaelmcdonald]

go Trump get out and vote make the liberals cry cry cry

[joanlesoravage]

Make #45 and his herd take the first shots....start next
