    I’m completely shocked with everyone’s reaction with how Trump is handling this. We elected a actor from a TV reality show of the apprentice, he is treating the governors as contestants on his show. They have to compete against each other to save their state, meanwhile Trump will blame any deaths on the states governor.

    “No one could have seen this coming,” except those watching the numbers coming from countries infected before us. :/
  • All kidding aside. It's important to keep doing the side to side comparisons. Do them every night. Never stop. These people are insane and they make us all feel insane watching them not just quietly lie, but lie in real time, on national television, every single day.

  • @muadhib001
    Makes me cringe every time he says he has friends, this guy has no friends. Enablers and opportunists but absolutely no friends
  • He delayed the public announcements until his rich friends could get out of the stock market.

    "Stay safe, wash your hands, and we love you." It's like Seth and Team really have become the loving big brothers and sisters of America right now. That's legit what my big sister said to me 2 wks ago before things in Illinois really went crazy. Thank you, for helping us get through this truly terrifying moment in history. America loves you too, Seth and the Late Night Team!
  • At least one person laughed at the Andy Capp reference. Thought you’d like to know.
