President Trump on Friday claimed some Democratic leaders hope the American economy will not recover from the coronavirus pandemic because a national financial recovery would boost the the president's electoral prospects

President Donald Trump said Friday some Democratic leaders hope the American economy will not bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic because they believe a national financial recovery would boost his electoral prospects.

The president made a similar suggestion earlier Friday, implying state and local Democratic officials were continuing to enforce coronavirus-related restrictions, meant to curb the spread of the disease, simply to hinder his reelection campaign. There, too, he failed to offer evidence for his assertion.

Are there not enough people left living to vote I guess they’ll have whichever one of them that’s left sit across from whichever Democrat that’s left and still fight. What good are all DT’s selfish “oh they’ve ruined my re-election year” laments.

I agree! Gavin Newsome has bankrupted Ca. He’s a joke.

Why this evil man is still running this ‘democratic’ country? This is true face of capitalism! Only money matters. How can the good people of this great country allow this pervert to continue killing until the elections! Mail suppression coming soon!

Let's think, God isn't willing. Else economy was going well and Trump was looking invincible after escaping Impeachment.

PEOPLE ARE DYING

fact

It's not!! Going to be quite sometime..Nordstrom is closing in Annapolis Mall.

Don't worry the truth hurts

Well wasn't DJT doing just the opposite, pushing opening businesses, all ahead full, to HELL with the death count? Trump, (I want the economy booming on election day.) That isn't for the good of the Nation, but re-election prospects.

AND NOW WE ADD DELUDED TO HIS LIST OF NAMES

That can be said about Republicans who have been bought by big corporations. Multi-employer Central States Pension Fund will effect over a million people and McConnell just turns his head and kicks the veterans and retiree's down the road. Pretty sure no pensions no spending.

'Without evidence' seems to be a common qualifier on things Mr. Trump says. Sad.

Poor little fragile me....

Says our Lying Politician-in-Chief ... who ignored multiple January intel briefings and then called C19 virus a “Democratic Hoax” at a campaign rally. Incompetent Con Man!

So stupid . Trump has zero chance of Not being re elected. Deal with it

It’s called projecting.

realDonaldTrump this not only shows that you are completely unhinged but extremely paranoid. With the way you have handled and continue to handle COVID-19 nothing can save your re-election. thedailybeast Susan_Hennessey RadioFreeTom AliVelshi TheRickWilson davidaxelrod

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

That’s a fact!

Bullshit. Next.

I love how the arrogant, all mighty Democrats act.... they're so concerned about Americans and their health. And this is coming from the political party that supports the murder of millions of babies. That's why they're hypocrites...

False claim.

Listen to the traitor, Russian pawn, criminal syndicate boss. He tries to blame someone for every one of his crimes, outrages. He, who ignored the CDC & other medical advice regarding Covid19 that could have prevented such a horrendous death toll & economic disaster.

Sick

We Americans care about the sick and dying but it’s trump who couldn’t care less.

wtf? The man is clearly overly-focused on his political career while demonstrating why he isn't qualified to continue in the role.

Narcissis

WTF is wrong w/ this guy?!

This buffoon needs to be muzzled

Shifting the blame again.

If there was a glood on Wall Street Drumpf would use the bodies of Dead Americans to keep the trading floor dry.

If we had a strong leader the economy would not have suffered as drastically. Stupid Donald

Trump you are the ultimate dunce.

No this dick was so worried about 2020 in 2017 nothing else mattered except golf his fault 100% he is a mass murderer and his cult is complicit

That’s why the Democrats keep introduction bills to put money in workers pockets. Which will boost the economy when they spend it. Dumbass. Liar.

Idiot Still......

Definitely he has to have brown eyes!

There is no doubt about that. How else do you explain the conduct of blue state governors and RINO governors? How else do you explain Pelosi's stalling, sabotaging relief and stimulus bills with non-virus spending, Schumer's insane speeches in the Senate, left's defense of China?

and he's 100% correct! Democrat is proud to admit that they take advantage of the crisis people are in to gain power. I'm not a total fan of the president but only an idiot would think that a Democrat is the better choice.

IMPOTUS is the head of the don't care cult. Witness his laser focus on Biden, keeping PPE from front line workers, keeping tests away from the American people, and opening the country way too early! Who is encouraging no end to the virus?

Thousands are dead. Millions are out of work. And he thinks it’s all about him. Why is he still president?

The King of Projection strikes again. He just can’t fathom a world where people aren’t all out for their own slimy interests.

He blew the damn economy up with his inaction and stupidity . So much for MAGA.

there is nothing that will make this guy look good in 2020 election. time for him to go.

Sad pathetic little man, so unworthy.

And Trump’s leadership and his upper level administration is killing Americans. Trashed CDC guidance and replaced with his own version will keep the Covid-19 spreading.

Psychotic

How about Govs are trying to save people from dying both GOP & DEM. If he knew how to lead he could have had a giant boost for the election. But he IS NOT a leader and divides people into a false choice of life vs money rather than fighting the virus like all other countries.

Trump is a total moron he wishes more democrats would die from this pandemic and his followers will bepart of those deaths also his greed is more important than people the manager of health must keep in mind this country as no idea what people lived through in 1929

So Trump believes that Americans are dying just to undermine his electoral prospects? I have to hand it to him, he’s sharp!

🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

How does he manage to make a global pandemic, an economic collapse and the deaths of thousands of people all over the world just about him and his re-election? Seriously, America, what were you thinking when you voted for this narcissist?

And he’s hoping for an economic recovery to boost his presidential electoral prospects. He’ll do it for politics.

Democrats don´t need to do it, you do it full time already: Budget deficit 3 700 000 000 000. National Debt $25 150 000 000 000. GDP $21 350 000 000 000. Interest on Debt $385 000 000 00. Debt to GDP 135% !!!! Debt per taxpayer $203 000.

everyone with a brain thinks so too

This is the definition of narcissism. Everything everyone else does is simply to affect the narcissist.

They could hope a goose who lays golden eggs flies into their houses, but as we have seen with trump hoping for somthing doesnt make it so. Like his claim it goes away on its own, or in april it will go away due to warm weater or latly we dont need vacine it will jst go away.

Кто то хочет заработать очки на пандемии.

P r o j e c t i o n. That’s exactly what HE would do if roles were reversed.

Sheer desperation from Donald Death...... his coffers of excuses, for the chaos in America, are empty 🤷🏼‍♀️

One more example of his idiocy

That is creppy if the DNC thinks like that. But the actions i see from NY, ILL & MI. Could be spot on

So mad

Psychopath.

the man who interrupts coronavirus updates during White House press briefings to tell us he's trending number one on Facebook!?!? Is calling someone else into politics?! What a f****** dope!

oh we don't need any boost from you buddy boy you're toast already you've lost those blue states in the north that you barely wanted to begin with they're gone Wisconsin's gone Michigan's gone Pennsylvania's gone Ohio is fully in play and Iowa's back on the table you're toast!

Ain’t that the truth

I agree

Can this guy project any more than what he actually does and thinks? How stupid can someone be? Trump is a complete embarrassment to the whole world!

Some republican hopes the economy will recover never mind how many people die from the coronavirus pandemic because a financial recovery would boost his electoral prospects.

realDonaldTrump who is “they”? Give me one Democratic leader who said those words?

you all are doing nothing for politics

Agree. What moron wouldn’t believe that?

realDonaldTrump you are a sick guy

He is so good at running a con that he has now bought into his own con.

For fucks sake.

When will George Bush and BarackObama speak up in defense of the country? Trump does not care about our country. He only cares about himself.

He’s 1 million percent right & all of the Democrats who clutch their pearls saying “we could never!” are disingenuous amoral liars. How do we know? Because one of the village idiots like Comrade Cortez will admit it or a Project Veritas sting will catch them red-handed (again).

Nonsense! We all have bills to pay & he’s not helping us, unless we are his family or his donors Can he bring back to life over 76,000+ souls that didn’t need to die if it wasn’t for his blatant ignorance, corruption & cruel incompetence though? Sickening sociopath needs to go

So he thinks they are saving lives for politics? While he’s wasting lives for profit which he feels is the proper way to do things. Glad I understand now.

You're doing it for the politics' and to stay out of jail.

😡

What a disgusting thing to say let alone from the POTUS! realDonaldTrump

Not true, we don’t want you to recover from the abysmal hole you’ve created for America.

Why is it always that he feels he is being persecuted! Spare me

What in hell is wrong with this moron?

Pot calling the kettle black

He is onto something.. it’s already starting on Twitter

Nobody is saying that only trump is saying that☠️☠️☠️

All of this blaming and bellyaching when he's the guy in charge makes him look weak and petulant.

That's the way he thinks...

So true. Most can see it. They will pay for all their bad decisions soon.

Hmmmm sounds like Trump through all 8 years of Obama.

I hate him so.

Wow so he's saying this now so he can turn around and blame Democrats either way. Astonishing!

YEAH IT COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE BECUASE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO DIE OR END UP WITH MEDICAL BILLS THAT WILL BANKRUPT THEM IF THEY SURVIVE IT.

IMPOTUS is a major player. In our economic disaster. His ignorant attitude will plunge America into a deep depression.

presidentTidePod is in serious need of therapy & medication for paranoia & advanced spite disorder. So at least he’ll get to the medical ward in prison.

He's not lying.

No doubt Mr President.

He's projecting again.

The Democrats did not cause the Pandemic to spread to bring you down !!! Your slow denial response cause the Virus to spread ?

TrumpDepression

Nothing is going to boost his chances! Too many dead! Too many not able to see their families because he refused to get the federal government involved in producing test and no contact tracing!

Dear GOP The world economy is fucked from covid19, why would our economy be different. There's not going to be a bounce back quickly. You all suck. -A Patriot

Evil Libtard plot: To provide Trump a cover for his failure to launch a rapid response to a National Public Health threat that resulted in an economic collapse of his own making. Evil Libtards. They are trying to keep me from being re-elected. 🙄

Just like Impeached45iq didn't act to save Americans because he thought COVID-19 would go away before the market tanked.

That’s probably what he was thinking when OBAMA was running and about to inherit a tanking economy. He built it back which Mr Bankruptcy managed to tank by being delusional, not paying close attention, running for re-election vs running the country. Deferring to young ignorants.

...the same issue came up during his election. The Democrats used the possible failure of the US economy under Trump as a fear tactic to sway voters.

How do you know what “...Democratic leaders hope...”? Do you have tapes? I haven’t heard anyone say that. Who’s said that? Prove it.

Satiristas And how about those 77,000 plus Americans who died just to make him look bad? I have two words to say to them: BeBest!

And Donald is prepared to kill people to win in November. But nobody in the GOP or the media will tell him that outright.

That would of course is absurd

Trump still blames what a low life

That is an awful thing to say - and I am sure it is not true. You create fake news for your own benefit. Oh! wait, that is to take the focus off your war crimes! realDonaldTrump

45 IS A IDIOT !!! WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYBODY WANT 'OUR' ECONOMY TO REMAIN IN DIRE STRAITS. TRUMP'S GUT FEELINGS IN DEALING WITH COVID-19, WHICH HE WAS MADE AWARE OF IN LATE NOV 2019. IT''S HIS SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS CAUSED THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS LIVES & MILLION OF LIVELIHOODS

realDonaldTrump needs to get over himself! I am so tired of just throwing things out there and seeing how it will be accepted or not.

this is trump's playbook on a massive scale - create a problem and then pretend he alone has the solution. However, I think this one got away from him and perhaps some of his lemmings will abandon chubby don's camp!

He's such an odd fella

🤣🤣🤣😪

What a bunch of BS.

He speak the truth. How about you report the truth

DPzikbastrd... you bankrupt 6 times, Clinton and Obama rebuilted the USA after the Bushes, here you go again (1 more repub) destroying a economy given to you in good shape, you Bk your company 6 times!

He is exactly right about that

B.S. TRAITOR.

donald,

POTUS already prepping his failure excuse

he's right

Total projection

bufoon

Claimed. Interesting word choice.

If you think Democrats want the country to fail then there's no need to discuss Trump.

🤣😂😄

thousands died and it's all about him. what a sick puppy

One thing we can count on, Trump will always make everything about Trump. Even a pandemic. We need to be asking 'are you better now then 3+ years ago'? 78k Americans can't answer that question so we need to answer it for them in November.

Agree with him!

But when it does; he'll take the credit, of course.

More than 77,000 deaths and he thinks it's about his electoral prospects. Sigh.

Economy not going to come back until after 2nd wave, and a vaccine

Only the imaginary ones living in his head

i notice the Dems are sponsoring bills to put 2 grand a month directly into Americans hands until this pandemic has passed ,,i also notice GOP leaders saying they are hesitant to pass more legislation. Tell the fascist Trump we see him

Yes and

Truth, I'm voting Trump2020

He would be correct.

Sorry break your bubble stupid your tax cuts jobs act & trade war you created a fiscal deficit of 1.7 Trillion trade was ruined AG BK surged & rest of Industry was dying then your Saudi-Russian financiers started a oil war tanked oil & you failed COVID19 response hence depression

Why even report this? It’s so transparently an attempt to manipulate the news.

MoscowMitch wants states to go bankrupt. trump thinks this virus will just go away, so everything should open up. But trump, as usual, trying to divert from the worst jobs report and economy in history has to blame someone. TrumpLiesAmericansDie TrumpDepression

Donald Trump is truly a mentally disturbed individual.

I am so tired of this little man.

Huh?

You don't think this is all about you by any chance, do ya?

هل الديمقراطيين لا يحبون أمريكا ....!!!!؟

No. Democrats understand they need to protect the American people right now. The Democrats eventually will let the economy recover safely at a later point. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer POTUS HouseDemocrats

Projection

Yeah, no!

That is insane and another lie! This man is not mentally healthy.

Covid19 testing a scam? Government of Tanzania tested different things for CoronaVirus and jackfruit, papaya and a goat tested positive lol. Someone needs to reproduce this experiment.

Except it is a global pandemic and economy, why is everything about him?

He pretty much nailed it.

He needs to shut up. The people playing politics are the GOP and him.

right

No, President Lysol, those leaders you refer to don't think as you do when it comes to down-dirty politics. America is better than that.

Senile old fart

You just cannot fix stupid !!

Democratic leaders are saying the exact same thing. What's bad for the country is good for Democrats.

He's deranged. That is how HIS mind works, nobody else's.

He's correct.

Just goes to show how warped his mind is. Only he would think something so blatantly stupid.

fucktrump dumbassdonald

That's a lovely delusion Trump is having.

He’s right of course
