Doctor Fact-Checks President Trump On Coronavirus
President Trump is responsible for the federal response to the Coronavirus Pandemic in the United States. Today, I want to take a non-partisan look at the President’s remarks surrounding COVID-19, and set the record straight regarding things such as mortality rate and our volume of testing.

"I never joke" if you can't tell he's joking when he says that given the number of times he's told that clearly point to the fact he DOES joke... I don't know, maybe you weren't socialized properly. Look, doc. You're a medical professional, you're paid to be cold and serious on these issues. He's a political figure, he's gotta be charismatic and lite hearted. And calling it the Kung Flu's funny, it's also accurate. The virus came from China.
“This is a problem that’s gonna go away” The country: YOU go away!
Wojciech Sumliński polski dziennikarz śledczy, zastanawiał się czy dokument fundacji Rockefellera, który przewiduje dość dokładnie rozwój wypadków dotyczących pandemii, zarządzeń rządowych, krążący w Internecie jest prawdziwy, czy jest tzw. fake newsem. Zastanawiał się jak to sprawdzić i w końcu wybrał najprostszy, i inteligentny sposób: zapytać w Fundacji Rockefellera. Wysłał pytanie emailem do fundacji (adres na stronach fundacji) jak mogli przewidzieć to i to (tu kilka szczegółowych pytań). Dostał odpowiedź,(!) że przewidzieli to, bo mieliśmy zespół znakomitych analityków. Ta odpowiedź potwierdza prawdziwość dokumentu Fundacji Rocefekllera krążącego w internecie - scenariusza pandemii, o którym mówi dokument Fundacji Rockefellera.

You still against hydroxychloroquine? Looks like all the studies now showing it works. Guess Trump was right.
Just cause your a measly family practise doctor, does not mean you know anything concerning this Even fauci admits Trump is only saying what the experts are telling him
"Killing Trump Softly with a Cool Doc's Song" 🔫🔫🔫🎶🎶🎶
Next time FACT CHECK BIDEN & HARRIS . IM sure you can dig through the enormous evidence that will demonstrate how corrupt Biden & the Biden family has been for decades. Get to digging
You know this video was about Trump's response to COVID, right?
The left accuse him of being irresponsible because they ignore the fact more testing = more cases. What do you expect? The media reporting is a joke as is your so called non political agenda. CNN clips? please #BS It's Trumps fault right? #hypocricy and denial NYC fistream.info/work/videot/jdSke7O-bXOQ02Q
nobody lost their life from taking that drug Trump touted snowflake, nobody

He didnt say they did?
Hi Dr Mike! Not sure if you saw the latest comments of Mr.Trump implying that doctors and hospitals are noting down more covid deaths because they get paid more to do so. I can't believe that at this point of the pandemic any president is attacking front line workers.
As much as I love President Trump, I do admit I am not a big fan of his early responses regarding the virus. He should've been more up-front about COVID-19 early on, and not downplay it at all. But then again, with any other politician, either a democratic or a republican, it could be much, much worse than it already is. Politicians will always spread the fear and feed the misinformation. I feel like Trump has improved over time with this by stating to not be afraid. Remember, "Poli-" means many and "-tics" are annoying bloodsuckers.
If USA has TRUMP, Here in the Philippines we have DUTERTE. Regards to Trump's spokeperson who claimed that the President was only joking, we also have here ROQUE. :) President Duterte said that gasoline can kill the corona virus. Roque highly denies the PRESIDENT statement saying it was just a joke. However, the president strongly stands to his belief which paveway to Roque to be in shame. Lol!
My respect to all serious and ethical doctors and scientists, including Doctor Mike, who is extremely enjoyable to watch. Regarding hydrochloroquine and chloroquine, these drugs have been absolutely widely used for over 50 years by the riverside populations of Amazonas, as well as by researchers and NGO workers who get into the woods in that region, not only to treat, but also to prevent malaria. Now, despite adverse effects and toxicity mentioned, as any drug in general potentially holds, Rheumatologists have been using these antimalarials to manage patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases for decades. One certainty we have after reading medical and scientific reports, as well as historical records concerning malaria and rheumatism treatment, is that when well administrated in the right dose/protocol, the mentioned drugs do not cause extreme harm in most cases. When we talk about rheumatism, we are speaking of a chronic non letal condition, in most cases, requiring a relatively long period of Hydroxychloroquine therapy. There are many other drugs and therapies out there, however these doctors chose to make use of this specific one, and have been doing it for decades. When it comes to a critical heath condition caused by a new not fully known pathogen, experimenting a long term proved drug that reports a bearable drug interaction and toxicity, seems to be perfectly reasonable. The side effects that are acceptable for rheumatism and malaria patients, should be even more accessible to COVID patients, implying that they must survive the critical decease to actually experience them. The whole issue should not be treated as religion, political party or football team, with media and some personalities polarising and politicising the use of a drug. Rationality and balance is required. SOME REFERENCES Revisiting hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine for patients with chronic immunity-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases, Article published on Scielo.br, by Edgard Torres dos Reis Neto, Adriana Maria Kakehasi and others. Advances in Rheumatology 60 (1), 1-11, 2020 Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine, also known as antimalarial drugs, are widely used in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and have recently become the focus of attention because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Rheumatologists have been using antimalarials to manage patients with chronic immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases for decades. It is an appropriate time to review their immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory mechanisms impact on disease activity and survival of systemic lupus erythematosus patient, including antiplatelet effect, metabolic and lipid benefits. We also discuss possible adverse effects, adding a practical and comprehensive approach to monitoring rheumatic patients during treatment with these drugs. .......... Published on CDC.gov Title: Medicines for the Prevention of Malaria While Traveling Hydroxychloroquine (PlaquenilTM) Who can take hydroxychloroquine? ANSWER: Hydroxychloroquine can be prescribed to adults and children of all ages. It can also be safely taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers. Who should not take hydroxychloroquine? ANSWER: People with psoriasis should not take hydroxychloroquine. How should I take hydroxychloroquine? ANSWER: Both adults and children should take one dose of hydroxychloroquine per week starting at least 1 week before traveling to the area where malaria transmission occurs. They should take one dose per week while there, and for 4 consecutive weeks after leaving. The weekly dosage for adults is 310mg base (400mg salt).
Trump's whole campaign is dependent on division, confusion and strife, so why on earth would he try to be unifying, honest and forthcoming? That would end his political career. And to people in top politics, their careers are priority number one.
Dr are any medicines that I take ?
Grammar has left the chat.
I was so careful using mask ,washing my hand sanitizing my house and still got it.
I love your shirt and tie combo as well as these ever accurate facts that you say. So thank you for your amazing fashion sense and overall intelligence on this pandemic 😊
Dr. Mike hi , I’m commenting on your video due to the fact that I do appreciate the input. I want to point out one major thing I find that you are half right and half wrong on . Everyone in the United States does NOT look to President Trump for the answers to Covid .Just as we didn’t look to Obama for the answers to h1-n1 or Regan for the answers to the aids epidemic. Donald Trump is Not a lifelong politician,nor do I expect him to be .In fact I did not vote for him in 2016 .The reason I bring this all up , well Trump did his job (in my opinion) ,blocking international travel while Governors in states were putting covid positive patients into nursing homes .And Congress invited the world to “come on down to Chinatown “.To be fair I think the blame should be spread accordingly ,also with Fauci claiming early on that we would all be fine and don’t wear masks and now is backpedaling.If Donald Trump is guilty of anything ,it’s putting him in charge of the task force for the virus . Anyway , I look to my local Dr.s and not internet ones (I mean no offense at all ) for the answers I seek .You don’t even break down the fact that some cities that had no major lockdowns are not as infected as ones that did . My city as an example has around 250 + k citizens , our kids have returned to school from day one with 0 infections. The local hospitals (we have 3 ) have mostly no patients with major issues ,there have been some fatalities yes , all including major core morbidities . Again I do appreciate the fact that you want this to be a bi partisan action , But it’s not .OUR country has failed both you and me , all of us and one man is not to blame .I don’t know if fear tactics were the way to go as you suggest , I do agree that all facts should be on the table , but you forget that people in general are nuts (you forgot about the toilet paper shortage didn’t you ) so many can’t handle that approach . I do not have the answers, I just think singling out 1 man will not help anything ! Thank you for your time
Thank God People are awake about the "SCAMDEMIC" We will make sure President Trump gets re-elected 2020
@Leftism Central are you a Biden Harris supporter?
@antonio montana so in other words, no, you dont
@Leftism Central do you?
@antonio montana do you have a single citation
@Leftism Central Trump Pence are winning Fact isn't Great America First
But China could handle the situation well👀
Everyday is exactly the same: Donald Trump says something stupid, his spokespeople "Clarify it", and Trump contradicts the clarification. It's like Groundhog Day with assholes.
Would love to see an updated video on our current Covid situation! Good videos as always Doc!
Looking good ❤️
Dr.Mike, is awesome!!
Hello Dr 🙏 👏👏👏
He's no president, he's not even a politician, he's just a spoiled little rich boy who bought and bribed his way into the white house with the money left to him by his daddy. Of course he's gonna treat the pandemic like it's a joke, because he's been nothing but a joke his entire life, he's been a joke for the last four years and the only way he'll stop being a joke is when and if he dies of coronavirus. Then those of us smart enough to have survived the pandemic after all the stupid people who listened to him are dead WE'LL be the ones who are laughing. The lesson is... Don't listen to someone just because they're richer than you and think they can push people around after waving money in their faces! P.s. I'm neutral which means I don't vote for either side, just thought I'd share this fact before someone accuses me of being something I'm not, thank you.
07:34 "Your life." TheOdd1sout: oof I bUrnt my finger on that h o t t a k e
Someone sent this to me... fistream.info/work/videot/bKmEnMieol66taM
When Mike said that Trump is in charge of making decisions that affect him and us in our day to day life, I was like... Nope not me. Because I live in Germany😂
USA is doomed
It's interesting watching this now that we're climbing our third peak.
We love a guy who can actually speak the truth while presenting reliable sources and statistics to back his claims up👏🏻👏🏻
not politicians thinking they have the qualification to give medical advice and predictions
uh trump. the virus can't hear you. demeaning it won't make it go away
You can laugh at your pain, but not at others pain
If you don't get strep test you won't get strep.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure it would be fair to compare infection rates because other countries have smaller sample sizes.
So when does Trump start attacking Dr. Mike? Asking for a friend.
It's not that bad to say it. Why hype up something? Why would you not want to calm people as opposed to scare them to death???? Its not Ebola. Its not a Hanta virus. There's nothing wrong with saying that it will go away....because it will. Besides, no one listens to him anyway - its a very passive statement when he says it. Now, if someone in the medical field says something - that's who you listen to. You have to admit though....almost none of the type of masks used and most of the practices happening in our country will NOT stop the spread of the virus. Companies have gotten on the band wagon and sell masks at outrageous process but that look good and cost almost nothing to create. Most masks that people wear are not going to do anything. Things that president Trump says about medical things mostly come from information provided to him in the first place. He would not willie nillie spout information if he had not been provided the information from someone in the first place. It s not good practice to make things up as the president.
Can't people use percentages for numbers of cases? Like even if you test millions more one week than the week before if you use percentages instead if numbers then it is easier to compare and understand
🎶 Vote him out of the officeeee 🎶
Quickest answer: don’t vote Trump
Behind all of this misinformation as you mentioned, Dr Mike, is a politics. Therefore, the underlying message now in October is to VOTE!!!
#votedoctormike #mikeforpresident #drmikepresident2020 🤷
2.5K blind Trump supporters disliked this video. The facts must've hurt their feelings XD
trump wants people to think the virus is declining because he wants people to think the republicans fixed it. When in reality cases continue to climb despite what actions they're taking to fight it. If Trump wins the election he will continue to lie about the state of covid as he lies about many other things, and if he looses he and the other republicans will blame the democrats for the rise in cases., creating this narrative that the cases only started rising when the democrats came to power even though it was on the rise the whole time. The idea is to spread favorable lies because only a certain number of people will follow up and learn the truth and unfortunately that's a smaller number. Trump knows full well that more votes are won by lying even if he goes back and makes a contradicting statement later. He knows which lies to say where and when to garner the most support and it really shows what type of person he is.
Non biased view: We are fucked
I really dont think Trump was downplaying the virus. I mean if you look at his messaging alone, yes. BUT look at it in context of the media. The media has blown it out of proportion. We in Victoria Australia are STILL in lockdown 7 months later with barely any cases, and only a few deaths in aged care. BUT people are still freaking out if they see you not wearing a mask. So he was trying to calm down the flames. He was quelling the false fear that the media has spread. That's the only issue I have with this. Proper context is important.
"The President was joking..." That alone is so wildly inappropriate & he WASN'T joking. Nightmare.
I am completely terrified of COVID-19. And I don’t know how to relax. I am scared
I don't think you can really call that a second spike tbh. In the UK we are now in a second spike, but if you look at our graphs we got very very low between the spikes that happened. You guys has a slight dip I don't think this is so much a second spike but just an end to the slightly lower numbers
Did you ever think there'd be this much information from the president
But he fixed it recently. He made the COVID medication FREE. FREE! No president has every made a medicine FREE. He doesn’t have COVID anymore
Sometimes I question why I even bother reading anything on the internet. Mike makes a great video, I check the comments, and all I see is people hating on Trump, people hating on Trump haters, people hating on people that wear masks, people hating on people that don't wear masks; hate is almost the only thing I see....Why is everyone so filled with hate....
Saying that testing for coronavirus increases the number of coronavirus cases is the same as saying testing for pregnancy will get you more pregnant people. This is the second dumbest comment the trump has ever said… I think it is only beaten by the idea of using a nuclear bomb on a hurricane. And all the spin Doctors that tried to pass the comment off as a joke… That is appropriate as trying to make a rape joke at a convention on female hygiene.
Immigrants well Kids of Immigrants you get it done!
What temperature both High & Low kills COVID19 Too date this subject has never been broached. It seems it would be very simple to answer but no major medical center or CDC or WHO has ever made a statement regarding temperature. WHY not is the question??
Over 116 million tests by October 9, also 889 new deaths on the same date. The only nation with more deaths, 929, on that date was India, but it has over three times as many inhabitants.
Came back just to comment that he literally has it now. it ain't a joke anymore, is it Donald?
Watching this in October and still the same, what a governmental failure
Dr. Mike, you are very intelligent and very professional,buddy ! Don't let some of these crazy people ( including president) change you .You are obviously a nice and caring young man. Stay that way. I am a recovered 70 yr. old diabetic. My nephew is one of these smoothie king , vitamin taking , muscle guys . He told me " Uncle Ronny , when I heard you had the virus at your age , even though you look way younger ,I figured your insides are old , you have diabetes , and a minor heart attack 7 yrs. ago from smoking with diabetes ,I counted you as good as dead!" I told him I stopped smoking the nite of the heart attack. I told him " don't count me and this old body out! It fooled you. My father died at 95, and if I do the same, then I have a quarter of my life still ahead !
thank you for not being biased. the fact that you care about the medical facts and dont politicise the virus is something overwhelmingly important
he got to the white house after getting coronavirus, and he came WITHOUT A MASK, and he said "SEE?! I SURVIVED YOU IDIOTS!" something like that. I heard it from my mom. She watched the news. while we're talking about coronavirus and donald trump, watch the prince EA's (i think that's his username) video about "don't go to school" please.
Joking? Why ? he is not even funny when he wants to be funny. He’s not funny at all. Plus he’s not the president of comic relief. He’s such a fool.
God has blessed our beloved president❤️❤️❤️and god will curse his enemies and theFAKE NEWS.
I feel sorry for the people in USA. The president is a complete moron !
*Another "doctor" pushing the Liberal narrative, why is this not surprising?*
@Thanos Did you know the Wu Flu or Kung Flu is far less deadly than the common flu? Did you know masks are ineffective at protecting anyone from a virus? Like, this is grade school stuff, kiddo.
Another Trump supporter claiming to know more than the experts. Why is this not surprising?
First he didn't push politics he's just saying the truth jesus you republicans and Democrats can't stop making a virus that has killed over one million people about politics jesus you guys are ignorant
*2020, when people forget about how basic life is. When people find out how many viruses have come out of China and how many times this has happened in the past...*
It is going a way where I live, deep in the heart of Texas. I know 34 people, young and old, who got it and then were healthy and back to normal quickly in about a week. Now, no one has been getting sick for 3 months. Trump was right; everything is going back to normal around here.
Fast forward a few months later.......he got tested. How the turntables.
this hits different now that trump has the rona
well now guess what? he tested positive 💀
Did this video pop-up bc Trump tested positive?!
Now tRump has the virus... Wow...
Wow.... This hasn't aged well...
Trump & First Lafy are positively tested with Covid19. They have Corona VIRUS. #spreadthenews
I’m curious if one day they will do testing for antibodies or something along those lines? I feel like I may have had COVID before testing for it was even a thing. I obviously don’t know for sure, just almost all of the symptoms seem to match up. I think it would be good to know in the long run if there are any long term affects I might face if in fact I was positive. Full recovery took about 2-3 months, seems like it could do some damage. Would you agree?
Ruby B I live in Ontario, Canada. Yes it was around end of October/ beginning of November. It was awful - drs had no idea what it was and no medications worked. Then when COVID started being talked about a lot I was like....this is exactly what I had. And at the time I was working in a dental office where we saw large percentage of Asian patients who travel to China regularly. Just seems to fit
I'm not sure where you're at but a lot of youtubers I watch that are in LA got really sick around last December or even November and think it was Rona so I wouldn't be surprised
And now trump has covid.✌️😗
And... Trump and his lady got it.
Why did this video pop in my recommendations after trump has confirmed he has Corona and I got a trump add before this video
Doctor Mike is A very smart, intelligent, knowledgeable and well educated young man who speaks the truth with the facts in hand.
Please take your own advice 🙏
Did you seriously make 15 comments just to say you love Trump?
Please stop with Trump fanboying and get a life. Open a book maybe.
Show the studies showing the masks work! And dont cause hypoxia and such! You cant!
Your dense research is malignant
Shut up you yourself probably know nothing about his research you just listen to Karen on Facebook
Did europe get that its not important while you tards hyped the fear? Woops! Dont admit it. Your bonuses will stop.
@vanquish well, less dangerous than the flu
No we fucking took it more serious while you called it "just a flu"
Second wave? How many waves has the flu come?
How many hospitals are empty?
How many hydroxychloroquin misuse deaths have there been genius? None?
@Aaron Kerr also funny how this is the only one you respond to on your shitty spam comments karen
@vanquish it was for an animal? And they they ODed on it? My god! I cant believe you're dumber than they were!
A man passed away an his wife was in hospital after using it because it was for an animal because they were to ignorant to look it up. You can google it if you want or you're to idiotic too
Covid 19 isnt a dumb name? My bottle of lysol had covid on it 14 years ago! Libtard19 is more accurate for you
Wow you must too stupid to understand how viruses work look it up and maybe you'll see that corona is a name of the family of viruses as the have a similar shape to a crown and if you've got atleast 1 braincell you'd know corona = crown in spanish
Kung flu isnt funny? Two top level virus labs in wuhan mutated it and ccp blames America? Ya its a joke! Like you.
Democrat states sold off ventilators and blamed trump? For more funding ? So they could steal morre tax ?
Show proof
Deaths are down cause of his hydroxychloroquin which you forgot the real doctors use with near perfect success ?
8th in most tested? Thats not even what your chart says! And you would be dumb enough to believe china data is 12th!
Tons of covid cases! And no sick people that are asymptomatic with healthy antibodies and immunity! Great!
Problem not going away? The flu kills more
China stats are real and usa doest test more than the world.
Biden and pelosi stopped the flights first while trump went to nyc china town and promoted new year.
Those tests are false if not than why in all hell do zucchini’s have covid and random goats form different live stock groups they don’t they aren’t real tests
Do you think you could possibly do a video focused on the coronavirus in other countries such as South Africa ? We have had one of the longest lockdowns and are forced to wear masks in public and I would love to hear your opinion on it 🙏🏼 p.s. I love your channel it’s so educational!
Angry Dr. Mike is INTENSE, but honestly, he’s the hero we need right now
