Breaking: Trump and Melania Have Covid (Part 4)

Link to previous thread

He's fine! He sends his love

Seems a stretch, but this is where people have to really reach deep and find their bravery. You cannot let fear of COVID-19 prevent you from voting. I think this may be a ploy!

Anyone else think this Republican strain seems extra contagious?

Washington Post:

New: Trump may have exposed hundreds of supporters and staff in the days before he was hospitalized with covid-19, but there was no systematic effort to inform those people or to avoid further spread

Vhy Teefany hanging around all da time now? Enough vid dees odder cheeldren.

Washington Post:

"Trump was angry with Meadows about his comments indicating the president was quite sick and has asked aides to reassure the public by offering rosy depictions of his condition."

Well, since everything Trump says is always a lie, now we can all assume he's dying.

Love at me! I'm writing with my big boy marker!

The return of "There's Always a Tweet"

Who is taking photos of him while he’s infected and contagious?

Is he dead yet? Is he? Is he dead yet? Is he? Is he?

Well is he?

Another poz case confirmed

[quote]NEWS: One of Trump’s personal assistants has tested positive for coronavirus, sources tell me. Nick Luna, as bodyman, works in very close proximity to the president so it’s not surprising.

Typhoid Trumpy

Another factor that is unsettling White House aides tonight is Nick Luna is married Cassidy Dumbauld, who is an aide to Jared Kushner. More people in the circle around Trump’s senior adviser diagnosed with coronavirus.

Rumors the pigeon-headed cunt is poz too...

R11-

Joyce Boghosian, the official White House photographer. She’s probably already poz.

Tiffany is the Michael Corleone of the Trump family.

As hard as she tried to resist, it was only a matter of time before she be came one of [italic] La Familia.

What an odious heinous creature knowingly attending events and infecting people. It's like picking up people in bars for sex after you learn you have STDS.

R19 I completely agree with you. It sickens me to know that not just Trump but the entire family refused to wear masks at the debate. I wonder when supporters are going to finally get a clue that these people couldn't care less about anyone but themselves. Trump doesn't care how many people he may have infected. Sick & disgusting people all the way around.

[quote]As hard as she tried to resist, it was only a matter of time before she be came one of La Familia.

As Mary Trump phrased it and Michael Cohen backed it up, the relationships with the children are all transactional. They need him more than he needs them. The only one he likes is Ivanka. DJ is a clear case of hey please love me Daddy. And Eric and Tiffany are not far behind. Tiffany knows that if she wants anything she has to play the game. Baron is, as Trump said, Melania's child. The whole lot is just rotten to the core.

Every member of the Trump Family, with the exception of Barron, deserves to get very sick from the Covid 19 virus. They thumbed there noses at protocol, and now Daddy Dearest and the evil Stepmonster are paying the price. Let's see the rest of them go down one by one, and watch their long, slow recovery.

I live in the red part of Illinois and Republican politicians and their volunteers are crawling all over the place this weekend going door-to-door with not a mask in sight.

At the grocery I was the only person wearing a mask. At CVS I was the only person wearing a mask besides the workers. Nobody in my town wears a mask.

When you ask when Republicans are going to start taking this seriously the answer is never. They are never going to take it seriously.

Republicans are horrible people. Period. There is no getting around this anymore. They do not care about you, or your loved ones, or even their own loved ones. They will never wear masks. They will never social distance. They are stupid, brainwashed, hideous people. If trump lives they will crow non-stop that Democrats are making a big deal out of nothing and it will get even worse.

R23, such a marked contrast between red and blue Illinois. Almost everyone up in the northern part where I live is wearing a mask without controversy. I've noticed that over the last two months, even the asshole whiners up here have seemingly become resigned to the fact that they have to wear a fucking mask. All the businesses who want to stay in business are requiring face masks to enter. The assholes like the moronic mayor of Orland Park are the outliers and are treated as such at this point. The only thing that sucks is how close we are to Wisconsin. The entirety of Illinois is surrounded by fucking asshole red states.

r18 I think Tiffany and Eric are both Fredos.

[quote]I think Tiffany and Eric are both Fredos.

I think Tiffany and Eric are both Fritos.

[quote]I think Tiffany and Eric are both Fritos.

Sired by a Cheeto!

The Trump children are like The Borgias. Caesare, Juan & Lucretia all fed off Rodrigo Borgia the way that Don Jr, Eric & Ivanka feed off Trump.

I'm still holding my breath on whether Biden caught it from Trump at the debate. How long is the incubation - 2 to 6 days?

I'm still holding my breath on whether Biden caught it from Trump at the debate. How long is the incubation - 2 to 6 days?

Me too; yeah, I know he wants to out there & campaign, but I'd feel better if he was home resting on the couch

R23- I live in a huge Red state too, Arizona. Check out this local article, "Trump's illness doesn't change minds of those who question Mask Regulations" and try not to Puke:

[quote]try not to Puke:

Why?

So much these days seem puke inducing.

Found this online: The time from exposure to symptom onset (known as the incubation period) is thought to be three to 14 days, though symptoms typically appear within four or five days after exposure.

14 days is a long damned wait.

This will never happen, but what if tRump went on TV and said, “I was wrong. This virus is dangerous, and we all need to wear masks.” Would his lemmings follow his advice?

Karma’s a bitch and now she has an attorney.

Saw on UK TV this morning a feature in today's 'Sunday Telegraph': a near full-page colour picture of guests seated at the recent Rose Garden event. Those many already known to be infected are numbered and identified.

Thus this event gains traction in historical notoriety. There's too much astonishing narrative to process at the moment - but yet again we might imagine the GOP reaction had Obama or Hillary hosted such an event.

It's a faulty thought-experiment of course, as each of them would have been by magnitudes more socially responsible. It's as though Trump constantly citing 'The China Plague' was all he needed to do: apportion blame, nothing else. Actually, the buck stops with him, and now has, bigly.

Can’t wait for today’s proof-of-life photos. What will he be wearing?

[quote] might imagine the GOP reaction had Obama or Hillary hosted such an event.

That's the thing--we will continue to be too nice about this rather than beat them up for the next 20 years the way Fox + GOP would

"Amy Coney Barrett's 50-Poz Weekend."

The Rose Garden Massacre is what Dr Who refers to as a “fixed point in time.” In other words, a single event with such massive consequences, that if it never happened, history itself would be changed.

So how many of these people, even if they live, are going to be long haulers, maybe unable to do their jobs or barely able to leave the house? The worst COVID is when you get a big viral load, like from not wearing masks and spending a long period with an infected person. How long were those people sitting there close together? An hour? And a lot of them were elderly.

This is going to affect a lot of people not seen in public, low and high level staffers at the WH. I read yesterday 11 staffers were already affected. Who’s going to be left over there in two weeks? A few may just quit.

What will they do after they pass it to spouses or children? Some Republicans aren’t complete sociopaths, they care about their own family, even if they don’t care about anyone else’s. Some staffers may be diabetic or have other conditions, or their family does. They may feel it’s not safe to work there. The Secret Service ought to just quit. No point in getting a pension if you’re dead.

Could this event be the official start of the dreaded second wave?

Washington Post 10/3: Joe Biden’s campaign said Saturday it will now disclose the result of every coronavirus test the candidate takes, following increased pressure for more transparency after President Trump recently tested positive for the virus and Vice President Pence has released results for two consecutive days… Biden, who tested negative Friday, told reporters he had not undergone a test Saturday but would on Sunday… Biden’s campaign has scrapped a partially indoor event and suspended negative ads since Trump’s diagnosis, while the candidate himself took the unusual step of wearing a mask throughout an entire speech and, on Saturday, declined to criticize the president during a town hall event with transit workers...

If lots of people gets covid it is certain some of them will be really sick. Anyone of them could be.

Does that pigeon faced bitch have it?

@burgessev: Jason Miller, Trump advisor, on ABC suggests that Biden wears a mask too often and that Americans want to get back to normal.

@rickklein: “It hasn’t been cavalier at all,” Jason Miller says of how the Trump campaign has handled virus precautions. On Biden, “too often the mask has been a prop.” To be clear - this interview is taking place Sunday morning. #thisweek

Why do they even bother putting these idiots on TV outside of FOX?

[quote]This will never happen, but what if tRump went on TV and said, “I was wrong. This virus is dangerous, and we all need to wear masks.” Would his lemmings follow his advice?

The fucker is poz, in the hospital on tons of medications that ordinary people can't afford, and still wears no mask in his 'proof of life' video. He and the MAGAts will never admit to anything.

If he recovers without obvious effects, they will just proclaim him the "vanquisher of the virus". He's already tweeting in such language, and the Trump spawn is calling him a 'warrior'. You can't reason with a cult.

“The attitude was widespread in the administration. At the Justice Department in May, Attorney General William P. Barr told a New York Times Magazine reporter who arrived in a mask for an interview that “I’m not going to infect you,” and then sat by as an aide suggested, twice, that the reporter take the mask off. The reporter did.”

Fredo was a wimp.

Tiffany will take over the

Tiffany will settle into the Tom Hagen role of Consigliere and head lawyer of the Trump family .

Fredo was a wimpy boy. Connie had bigger balls than Fredo.

Doubtful that Trump has ever uttered the words " I was wrong " at any time in his entire life.

Has tRump mentioned Malaria at all? He cares nothing about her. If she croaks, he saves having to pay her off when she filed for divorce which she will the minute he’s out of office. She wants a sugar daddy who doesn’t want to bang his daughter and who could go to jail. She just vants to go shopping

Warrior...

These press conferences are such a sham. I don't say that just because I want to believe Dump is on his last breath, I'm saying no matter how he's doing they're going to say he's bouncing off the walls, so what's the point? It's political theater, not a serious medical update.

We'll just have to wait for Mark Meadows to provide an off-the-record update following this press conference.

This Dr. Connelly has fallen into line and is reading the script as prepared for him. He did flub a bit when he said "40%" instead of "90 something percent" when talking about oxygen saturation. All the doctors speaking are keeping it short, they don't want to mess up and then have to issue a follow up "I misspoke..." statement.

Christ, this administration can't help but hire/work with smarmy snake oil conmen. Conley just comes off as someone who you have to google if his medical degree is real. He admitted he there was intent to slant the message at yesterday's conference. How about you just be a medical professional and present the facts?

The delay was probably the real doctors arguing that the report should be more honest.

This fucking shambles of an administration and campaign are doubling and tripling down on Trump not taking precautions, AND just giving up!

I guess it really "is what it is." to them. They've given up.

Except those who DID take precautions aren't. in. the. hospital.

[quote]This fucking shambles of an administration and campaign are doubling and tripling down on Trump not taking precautions, AND just giving up!

Yeah, it's amazing, they're still gaslighting.

The most incredible spin to me is that Trump "had to show the American people how to confront the virus."

Dr. Conley is military he has to follow the CNC's orders...which, as they always have been, to LIE.

Sad.

We're giving up on the precautions we didn't take.

I'm so glad that Melania received my lovely gift of expensive French perfume, and I just know that she sprayed some of it as soon as she opened the box.

I do not trust this Conley doctor at all.

“I was just trying to be sunny and positive!”

How about you try being a doctor?

How about you eat my tight hole, R65?

[quote]How about you eat my tight hole, [R65]?

Pics please.

You can feel a palpable hunger in the world for him to die. I think we know it's the only way to stop him.

But he won't. He always wiggles free.

R57, Conley is the WH physician. Trump chose him. Unlike a real rich person, Trump never wants good doctors. He wants losers he can push around.

Conley graduated from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2006, according to records from the Virginia Board of Medicine.

Doctors of osteopathic medicine, or D.O.s, are fully licensed physicians, according to the American Osteopathic Association. Their training is similar to that of traditional medical doctors but differs in that they are trained to look at the body and its care holistically rather than just prescribing medicine for specific symptoms or illnesses.

Osteopathic doctors are required to complete additional coursework to understand how the body’s bones, muscles and nerves affect overall functioning and health, and they sometimes use manual techniques for diagnosis and treatment, such as applying pressure to or stretching out joints and muscles. They can also prescribe medicine.

R66, that was a response to Conley's lying ass, though I can see how you felt it was directed at you.

I'm agreeing that a. Jared hired Dr. Thirsttrap and b. Jared has a type.

Stepford Doctors told to go out there and be economical with the truth 'for the sake of the markets and for your country. We won't forget this.' Sir yes sir.

The march and fanning out of the Stepford Doctors was theatrical indeed. It sought to show us all how very important their patient remained despite being susceptible to 'The Chinese Plague', just like all the little people.

[quote]Why do they even bother putting these idiots on TV outside of FOX?

All the other networks should swing their cameras around to include the fox cameras and the fox reporter crouching next to the fox boom guy.

Show whomever is attempting to lie to the American public and the network they’re lying to - give their sham context - report on the perpetrators and the enabling network gaslighting the idiot FOX viewers at home.

Aren’t osteopaths just people who couldn’t get into a real medical school?

^^Exactly.^^

If osteopaths are against throwing medications at problems, why are they burying Trump in an avalanche of medications that are supposedly not needed if he’s not seriously ill?

Not sure if it was mentioned upthread., but has anyone seen The Death of Stalin? Holy Shit, so funny and relevant.

It’s so good. I rented it from Amazon Prime. Not sure if it’s on Netflix

[quote]Attorney General William P. Barr told a New York Times Magazine reporter who arrived in a mask for an interview that “I’m not going to infect you,” and then sat by as an aide suggested, twice, that the reporter take the mask off. The reporter did.”

This is absolutely unacceptable.

Right then and there the reporter, or any other reporter in their presence, should have railed against Barr for perpetrating a lie.

“No one wears a mask to protect themselves from an infectious disease that you may have, Attorney General. You know full well that I am wearing a mask to protect you and those around me in case I have the infectious disease.

Perpetrating the lie that one wears a mask out of fear that they may catch the disease from others is what foments needless defensive and sometimes violent responses from those in denial of a disease that has just incapacitated your boss, the President of these United States.

Agree, R79. Reporters need to come out and say the WH and administration officials continue to put everyone around them at risk. They should have been emphasizing this from the start.

The Lincoln Project is reaching out to people in the WH that are fed up with the administration's flouting of the rules and hopefully, we'll hear their stories.

Scaramucci just said on MSNBC that he knows of at least two lower-level WH staffers -- cook & housekeeper types -- who are sick.

[quote]Dr. Conley is military he has to follow the CNC's orders...which, as they always have been, to LIE.

CNN said that Trump met with the doc before the presser yesterday. Obviously, the statement was Trump-speak.

[quote] Donald Trump.....kills innocent people

[quote] Since Trump is in the hospital I don’t understand why he can’t provide his court ordered DNA in his latest rape case.

Rick Wilson:

Jared is now in control of the White House, including overriding personnel demanding that the Pence not travel due to COG (continuity of government) issues.

The seat-fillers rebellion is ON.

Mark Meadows on Pirro's national TV program, telling the world that Trump's condition deteriorated rapidly on Friday, with an alarming drop in his Pulse ox, and spiking a fever. On Saturday, Meadows stated that Trump made a rapid recovery (probably the "most rapidest recovery" of any Corona victim in the entire world due to my excellent health. Even the doctors are stunned!)

Sounds like Meadows is working rapidly to cover his own ass. He'll probably be the next victim to say arrivederci to the White House.

Bump!

Trump family, aides flouted Cleveland hotel mask mandate ahead of debate.

Good news! You can pre-order a gift coin commemorating President Trump's triumph over COVID. The design is not yet finished -- presumably because they're waiting to see if he dies and must be depicted as an angel.

[quote] Claudia Conway just announced on Tik Tok that she now has COVID.

First 1,000 Orders Receive a Complimentary Presidential Blue Mask with Coin!

Good news! You can pre-order a gift coin commemorating President Trump's triumph over COVID. The design is not yet finished -- presumably because they're waiting to see if he dies and must be depicted as an angel.

What about Trumpy Bears? Can I get a blue Trumpy Bear representing a Dear Leader that can't breathe? Or gray BECAUSE HE'S DEAD!!

I'm standing by with my credit card

[quote]I'm standing by with my credit card

And I'm standing right behind you.

The fuck doesn’t know that already, Cronkite at r87?

No one elected Jared and he's too fucked up to get a security clearance. The Secret Service should drag him out of the white house by his neck.

If they lay a finger on me, I’ll have ALL their jobs.

I mean...Jared has probably *been* running things for quite some time, while daddy spends all day blowing KFC farts and watching Fox News.

They can "pretend" everything's fine and Don-don's in charge while Jared continues to fuck up things.

Hoping Kamala Harris brings this up at the debate Tuesday.

If Trump doesn't call into Fox & Friends tomorrow and ramble for an hour, you know he's bad off.

Jake Tapper was on fire this morning:

“Sick and in isolation, Mr. President, you have become a symbol of your own failures. Failures of recklessness, ignorance, arrogance. The same failures you have been inflicting on the rest of us ... Get well and get it together."

If Claudia lives, I think this will be enough to give reason for her emancipation case.

Trump's masklessness is hilarious considering every person he is seeing at this point is gowned and masked like they are entering a biohazard zone...because they are. Trump is officially a biohazard.

CBS News: The White House supplied New Jersey officials with the names of at least 206 individuals who attended President Trump's events in Bedminster, Thursday.

The NJ Department of Health reached out to these individuals to make them aware of possible exposure. Contact tracing is ongoing.

Somerset County Health Department officials are interviewing club staff members to assess their risk levels & provide health recommendations.

r100, I like that. President Biohazard.

^^Covid Donald is the new Typhoid Mary.

Perhaps someone should go and decorate Melania's room with Christmas decorations to cheer her up.

Jake Tapper reading Trump to filth makes me hard.

🤭 I ordered the Deluxe Trumpy Bear that comes with an authentic working model of a hospital bed, oxygen mask, respirator/ventilator, pulse oximeter, rectal thermometer, and jumbo black body bag with the Presidential Seal.

R104, I didn’t forget.

I hope Claudia Conway gets emancipated.

It’s one thing to be a Trump stooge. It’s another thing entirely to be a worse mother than Joan Crawford.

[quote]Jared is now in control of the White House

How will this affect the optics for cuck Pence's debate on Wednesday?

I wonder if he has some alone time for unmonitored calls to his bestie, Putin.

well, it could be a lot r109. He might be president by then.

Trump probably told his heathen offspring where the Russian poison is hidden, just in case Mike Pence needs a lesson in transferring the Trump chain of command.

Mikey is at the bottom of the list.

The VP debate takes an interesting turn when Nicki Haley makes a dramatic Dynasty walk toward the podium.

The real game is really Covid-19 vs. the GOP. Will COVID-19 catch them all?

Will there be a last minute lineup change for the VP debate?

Donnie Jr. will fill in for Mike Pence? Mike called in sick because he woke up feeling week and nauseated.

And Donnie Jr. is probably as good as his dad when it comes to insulting and bullying women.

Is the first cunt having any symptoms?

I used my Trumpy Bear as a voodoo doll. I took him to several buffet restaurants recently and rubbed him on the sneeze guards.

[quote]R21 The only one he likes is Ivanka.

Well, isn’t she the one with the biggest tits?

[quote]Well, isn’t she the one with the biggest tits?

Not until she pays for them.

I'll fill in for Pence!!!!

Remember, the medical doctors at Walter Reed are military men as well. Trump is commander in chief of the military, or their boss. Trump doesn’t want the stock market to crash and as such, has informed the doctors they have to play up his great health and say nothing critical of his condition. That is why we will not get specific information. Dr. Conley today skirted around the facts again today. After reading tweets by many doctors, nurses and former COVID patients this afternoon, it appears to me that Trump’s current pressing problem is pneumonia, which can grow worse over the next couple of days. There were also many negative comments about the drugs given Trump, when they were given, and possible negative interactions.

It has also been stated that Trump will not turn over the presidency to Pence. After all, Jared has continued as acting President for him for some time and will do so in the future. Jared meanwhile has sequestered Pence to keep him out of harm’s way.

WSJ: Trump Didn’t Disclose First Positive Covid-19 Test While Awaiting a Second Test on Thursday

President received positive result on Thursday evening before making an appearance on Fox News in which he didn’t reveal those results.

"As the virus spread among the people closest to him, Mr. Trump also asked one adviser not to disclose results of their own positive test. “Don’t tell anyone,” Mr. Trump said, according to a person familiar with the conversation."

Does being president come with a health insurance plan as part of the job?

I want to know what the final bill is, and who’s paying it.

You are, r123. And me.

Can you explain?

Do you mean his premiums are deducted from his salary? Then he pays a deductible and an insurance carrier covers the rest?

It would be hilarious if the insurance co. rejected claims because he failed to take reasonable precautions. Is there a clause for that?

Like any full-time American civil servant, the President gets a health insurance policy from his employer, which in his case is the federal government.

People are showing up outside Walter Reed with QAnon signs

For those who many not know-- the WSJ is owned by the Murdochs who also own Fox.

I suspect Lachlan, who was with Trump in Cleveland, is beyond furious.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture that the President doesn't have to pay a deductible.

Tottering on the limb with your r130, I also suspect that he doesn't have to concern himself about pre-existing conditions.

R126, your taxes are paying for everything Trump does.

oh dear God, r128. Oh but what the hell, let some QAnoners in to give bleach to the stupid old fuck.

WTF. CNN is now showing video of Trump in an SUV, waving to the QAnon supporters as he passes them on the street outside Water Reed.

CNN's Jeremy Diamond: "Presumably, the president went back inside Walter Reed."

This is unreal

Is it really him? How big are the hands?

OMG, this is the kind of shit you read about in countries like Turkmenistan and laugh. Or used to.

Another stupid thing we are paying for . . .

Fingers crossed he took off his mask, rolled down his window and breathed heavily onto the assembled QAnon idiots.

The Secret Service just took dumpy out for his afternoon walk. Rather, it was a ride down the street of Walter Reed so he could show his supports that he’s doing great. What in the ever loving fuck?

Why isn’t he dead?

R138, or Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

So Walter Reed Hospital has completely destroyed its reputation just for the sake of the most malignant narcissist the world has ever known, eh? Either the man is highly contagious and has NO business being out and about, mingling with anybody, or it's all one big scam. Shame on them.

The whole country will burn to the ground so this motherfucker can get his narcissistic supply.

A Walter Reed doctor just called out Trump for the "drive by"

[quote]So Walter Reed Hospital has completely destroyed its reputation just for the sake of the most malignant narcissist the world has ever known

I'm not sure if that's fair. As President and Commander in Chief, Trump kinda/sorta controls the hospital. What do you want them to do? Blame Trump for this, not the hospital or the people in charge.

[quote]Well, isn’t she the one with the biggest tits?

She's second, after Brad Parscale.

Regular employees of the executive branch (which is basically all federal employees other than the military, the post office, the courts, and Congress) have the option to be covered by the Federal Employees Health Benefits system, which offers a large number of plans. The government pays for most of the premiums; employees have to pick up the rest, which differs depending on the type of plan you choose and whether you include your family. I don't know if this is different for the President, but I assume that possibly the Walter Reed expenses are covered as one of the perks of being President.

And there are people on Twitter claiming this was a drive-by done by a freaking BODY DOUBLE.

The whole thing, so completely, thoroughly Soviet.

Dr. R144 is way, way more attractive than Dr. Yes, DO.

Oh come on - of course that's him. He's a pathological narcissist. He feeds off his supporters' adulation & energy to feel worthy, and optics of supposed quick recovery reinforces tough guy image

I wonder how many people Trump will personally kill with Covid.

Apparently Bill Barr is now self quarantining after refusing to do so earlier. He has got to be poz. Hope it's lethal.

Here's a link

Apparently Bill Barr is now self quarantining after refusing to do so earlier.

That's because he went to Whole Foods today & stocked up on Haagen-Dazs

Barr should quarantine himself for all eternity

If anybody has footage of a funeral procession of black cars going to a burial of someone who died of Covid-19 please post it on Trump's Twitter account.

What kind of human being can't restrain themselves from a spectacle like this when they know 200,000 others can't celebrate and their families in mourning?

Trump is one sick, dangerous motherfucker.

And I've got a bellyful of Secret Service agents who don't refuse to do shit like this.

After looking at closeup photos of that joy ride I'm convinced it is him.

Christ, what a mess.

Any other patient would have been subdued, restrained, and isolated. It’s completely outrageous. He is carrying a highly contagious pathogen. This is just unbelievable. Every day that passes it gets worse. Why is no one stopping this insane person? Why is he not being stopped? This is never going to fucking end.

Fun fact: knowingly infecting people with a dangerous pathogen is a felony in NJ. (for people who knowingly infected a partner with HIV)

They could bring criminal charges against shithead for the Bedminster fundraiser.

They won't though, R159, because those laws about spreading HIV were homophobic and weren't meant to be applied to everyone. They were the result of AIDS fear mongering.

The Secret Service agents should consider a lawsuit, though.

Everything Trump Touches Dies, quite literally.

Conley strikes me as the arrogant type who thought he was smarter than the press, so he thought he could go out there and give evasive and strange answers and no one would be the wiser. Talking on camera is a special skill and honestly, for some it takes years of practice to learn to do it effectively. Conley was too green and never should have been sent out there. I’ve done some media/PR work in the past and doctors are the worst. They are often just too confident. You give them all the media coaching in the world and as soon as the camera is on, they stumble and stammer, eyes darting left and right or else they claim up totally and sit there with a dopey grin on their face.

The Circus is on right now 🍿

^I'm talking about the Showtime series, not our current reality.

What's the presidential ventilator called?

Forced Air One

I talked to my Dad today, he is a Trump supporter (we never really get too political), and even he is collapsing.

I calmly (we've never fought about these things -- we converse) said that it was really a terrible thing to have a WH culture that was encouraging the spread of the disease, especially for people who are more at-risk, like him! He literally had nothing to say in defense.

I know for many of you this seems like a "well, DUH!" conclusion but please understand this is a blue-collar, non-college educated senior citizen who was brought up were certain levels of intolerance and racism were just baked in.

Trump is a FAKE!

A layman who is his own doctor has a corpse for his patient.

Fools rush in where wisewomen never go.

I want to photoshop a dick in each hand of hers.

I think it's funny how no one is asking how Melania is doing.

I guess America doesn't geeve a fuck about her!

r170, I really don't care, do u?

Who gives a FUCK about Christmas???!!!!!!!

Those border brats??

I really don’t care, do U?

R166 I wish your story was more common. Sadly the majority of Trump stans are still gonna vote for him and are still defending them. They're getting mad at criticism of him during this time

they're aghast at people saying he's selfish for demanding his secret service ride with him in the car today

Welp. Dow futures up 150 points. Yay capitalism!

[quote]R166 I talked to my Dad today,

I spoke with my mom yesterday (a senior who can’t figure out her new TV remote) and told her Mr. Trump was hospitalized for Covid.

There was a pause, then she started laughing heartily.

I’m glad something good’s come from this.

R174 Tomorrow is the first Monday of the month, almost always an up day for the stock market due to 401k contributions, so I don't think it has anything to do with Trump. The market has never seemed like more of a joke and a Ponzi scheme that could crash at any moment. I'm out until Biden is President.

[quote] Welp. Dow futures up 150 points. Yay capitalism!

Which was the whole reason for Trump's ride around the block.

'He's Incapacitated': Stanford Prof Questions Trump's Ability to Lead While on Dexamethasone, Recalls Own Experience

So the steroid he's taking makes him crazy(ier).

Don't worry, it's fine. They gave Barron the nuclear football.

Tomorrow Trump will travel around the streets of DC naked except for a chauffeur's cap.

But today, he'll be driving the car.

pairing the car ride with the video saying he "gets it" and "went to real school, not the books" is just maddening

he really is a fucking moron

he thinks this ride makes him look strong

Trump's battle cry is "Four More Years"

Today it's "Four More Days !"

DL fans of the Everest threads will be familiar with Dexamethasone, used when the brain lacks oxygen.

[quote]Known among mountaineers as “dex,” dexamethasone is a steroid used to treat high-altitude cerebral edema. Every year about 2 percent of mountain climbers suffer from this life-threatening condition, according to Ken Kamler’s 2005 article, “Steroids on Everest” on the National Geographic website. However, a trend has emerged in which mountaineers use dex to sustain performance and alleviate the symptoms -- nausea, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, mood swings -- of acute mountain sickness. The use of dex to increase exercise capacity for high altitude climbs is controversial and poses health risks.

R174, it's factoring in the possibility of Trump's death.

Agree with R179. Dexamethasone can make you batshit crazy. It’s the first thing I thought of when he did this stunt—steroid insanity.

[quote]Don't worry, it's fine. They gave Barron the nuclear football.

I know you’re joking because you’re feeling a bit uneasy but, seriously, don’t worry. You have nothing to worry about. I’m in charge.

No steroids. No steroids. You’re on steroids.

Because of course

Would the people he passed by even know it was him with the windows closed? I'm sure that vehicle type has been everywhere around that place this weekend.

What was the point? A man who is supposedly getting experimental Covid treatments sealed into a car with others?

Let's see if he isolates and quarantines for a few weeks.

R192, he got them to roll down the window. The better for the virus to spread out.

Moronic criminal. The Secret Service should sue his ass for reckless endangerment.

"McInnes resides in the U.S. on a green card. In 2005, he married Manhattan-based publicist and consultant Emily Jendrisak, the daughter of Native American activist Christine Whiterabbit Jendrisak who describes herself as a liberal Democrat. About his wife's ethnicity and their children together, McInnes said, "I've made my views on Indians very clear. I like them. I actually like them so much, I made three."

They live in Larchmont, New York, where Emily threatened neighbors with legal action in a dispute over anti-hate lawn signs. Her threats were such that several neighbours notified the police."

Well done R185 -- I smirked.

Larchmont!!!

It's a popular suburb--mixed Jewish and high WASP-- that would be "central casting, get me Concerned White Liberals With High Paying Jobs Who Only Associate With People Just Like Them (And Maybe A Lovely Black Couple Who Remind Them Of The Obamas (They're Both Lawyers!))

I am sure those kids do not get play dates and people side eye her at Whole Foods.

R190 Testosterone is a different type of steroid (anabolic.) Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid. They won’t bulk you up, in fact chronic use causes muscle wasting and makes you fat. They can and do make you hyper and crazy as hell though (like Trump today.) I’ve seen people have full-blown psychosis after just a couple of doses.

Lincoln Project isn't letting Trump's shit go unanswered.

And he was not wearing an N95 mask...he so hopped on drugs he thinks the worst has passed ...Ms Rona has other ideas

I wonder if he'll get "moon face" from the Dexamethasone. Pretty sure this is in the same family of steroids as Prednisone.

Also I wonder if he realizes that common citizens don't get the treatments he's been provided.

I don't know how I survived but when I trekked the Inca Trail last year, I was measuring in the high 70's with the oximeter on the hardest day. Measured multiple times. And others checked too to see if there was something wrong with it. They were getting readings in the high 80's.

it was Trump in the car. You can't mistake those hands.

I'm surprised he didn't take off his mask, roll down the window and make a complete germ spreading farce out of this. He's sick, he thrives on hate and revenge and he wants to take as many people as possible with him when he goes. I hope the joint chiefs of staff have control over the nuke codes and not Dump.

[quote]WSJ: Trump Didn’t Disclose First Positive Covid-19 Test While Awaiting a Second Test on Thursday

I hope a sharp journalist soon compiles and publishes an exact timeline of all the relevant information which is emerging.

A crisp dated bullet-point presentation. Sub-paragraphs of Trump's activities within that timeline.

Crucial information for the electorate to decide if 'Mr President' deserves a second term. Information so vital it goes (sorry) viral. The timeline should end with the current figures for infection and mortality.

"For someone sick enough to have required remdesivir and dexamethasone, I can’t think of a situation in which a patient would be OK to leave on day three, even with the White House’s medical capacity,” Robert Wachter, chairman of the University of California at San Francisco’s department of medicine, told the Post.

Well hell, he’s found his phone and is tweeting again.

He sure is. He's been going for 45 minutes now but he seems to have forgotten the most important one:

214,000 COVID-19 DEATHS. VOTE!

I still wouldn't rule out the possibility that he's pumped up on the good steroids and thinks he's fine and will find out in 24-48 hours that he absolutely is not fine in any way.

But also he's more filet o' fish than man and has survived having pure mayo pumping through is veins for a decade, so he may just be hard to kill.

I think we should all move on from this. Biden should campaign hard, SDNY should indict, NYTs should release more tax news, etc. Let's just get on with this already.

We should not be played by this bozo. He's just trying to control everything.

What R235 said. Enough of this fucking lying-loser.

He’s tweeting in all caps this morning. Must be the road mania.

I thought he had finally reached the end when he resorted to:

[QUOTE]SPACE FORCE. VOTE!

But he still had a few left in him. It looks like he's done for now; the Sausage McMuffin family pack must have arrived.

[quote]Biden should campaign hard

Pics please

29 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION!!! VOTE!!

The "protect preexisting conditions" one was particularly good. What does it mean? Even he doesn't know.

I think it means he'll be protecting the preexisting conditions themselves from medical intervention with his healthcare plan which will remain two weeks away, forever.

[quote] JUST NOW: @shearm , one of the WH reporters who has tested positive says he has received ZERO outreach, no contact tracing at all. ZERO.

[quote] He’s tweeting in all caps this morning. Must be the road mania.

Prevailing theory seems to be it is the steroids he's been given.

GQ Magazine's Julia Ioffe:

Been thinking about this all day: I’ve been here. My O2 levels dropped, it was hard to breathe, I had to go on steroids, my lungs were partially collapsed—but I could drive myself to the ER. Walking, talking—and signing blank sheets of paper—prove nothing.

I just read that fat piece of shit Governor Krispy Kreme allegedly told tRump to interrupt Biden as often as possible during their debate because that tends to make people stutter. It that's true I hate him even more than I ever did...which I didn't think was possible.

Speaking of Governor Krispy Kreme, has anyone heard from him since he was hospitalized? Is he at death's door?

If he were at death’s door, it would be fitting punishment and swift justice for the suggestion that tRump should interrupt VP Biden to cause him to stutter.

there was an interesting article on fstopper - they examined the EXIF data of the photos of him working at the hospital - they were taken less than 10 minutes apart and had a clothing change - indicating there was no way it was actual work just staged photos.

Biden does not have "first hand experience with Covid-19..." so that makes him unqualified.

And don't forget the merchandise.

I'm fucking prescient R250 (though you didn't need to be too smart to figure that one out)

Let’s send him flowers in this vase:

I assume that no two are alike r253.

[quote]Biden does not have "first hand experience with Covid-19..." so that makes him unqualified.

But he does have first-hand experience in avoiding the virus, which is infinitely more valuable to the American people.

Neither Trump nor his posse of liars has Covid. Watch them all claim they had 'mild symptoms'- no one will be serious. And certainly not die.

I hope someone pursues the fraud. Lying about this could be devastating for his campaign.

My husband said first thing that Trump found a few of his most loyal supporters to claim COVID like he did to change the news cycle, and then emerge as a super hero and his minions as tough cookies.

Nobody fucking told me he was checking out today!

There goes lunch.

Considering a lot of the people that got it from Trump are either really old or fat, they’re not all going to do well. And none of them are going to be overtreated like Trump is.

Kellyanne might be ok because she’s skinny. OTOH, she probably got a huge viral load because she was all up in the face of everyone at the Rose Garden Massacre. And Bill Barr was right in her face a few inches away, and he’s old and fat. He said he wasn’t going to quarantine, then suddenly he did. People think he’s positive now, which is about right considering he was exposed a week ago.

The treatment Trump got was overkill and not in the good way. They were giving him drugs you don’t use together, a steroid you don’t use unless the person is on oxygen because it doesn’t work without oxygen, and people get irritability and wild mood swings from taking it. My guess is they tried to put Trump on oxygen for the Dexy, but he refused. So they gave it to him anyway knowing all it would do is make him high and irrational and irritable. He’s probably been screaming at everyone. His treatment makes no sense according to doctors, because throwing more drugs at it doesn’t necessarily make them more effective. And if you use them when you don’t need them, they may not work as well when you do need them.

I’m waiting for the Dexy crash which should be hilarious. Or he’ll leave the hospital addicted to it and with a new drug for his Dr Feelgood to prescribe. And he’s irrational when he takes it and has the nuclear codes. Good times!

[quote]I just read that fat piece of shit Governor Krispy Kreme allegedly told tRump to interrupt Biden as often as possible during their debate because that tends to make people stutter. It that's true I hate him even more than I ever did...which I didn't think was possible.

Evil strategy but still a strategy if you are focused and disciplined to execute. Fortunately, Agent Orange's arrogance got him just talking over everyone and snapping at the moderator.

Post-debate polls indicate the spectacular fiasco of this performance.

WH says that a decision on whether Trump will be discharged from the hospital will happen later today (you know, the best time when it's most advantageous to get high ratings).

Spectacular indeed R260

It seems to have moved a small but not insignificant number of Trump voters over to Biden because they were so horrified by his performance.

Trump's nastiness is often accompanied by a wink, but not this time.

The Trump White House: A Confederacy of Dunces

McNinny had a press conference yesterday with no mask on. I hope all of the journalists wore masks because they were exposed. Arrogant, callous and reckless disregard for others is the White House motto.

Kayleigh says she tested negative every day since Thursday, then tested positive this morning "while experiencing no symptoms."

Trump certainly has learned a lot about the Corona.

Too bad he's confusing what to do with what not to do.

I didn't get the Covid because Mommy and Daddy never visit me.

That’s why you quarantine for 14 days even with a negative test. You’re negative until you’re positive. These people are the most arrogant idiots in American history. It’s astonishing.

So what you’ve tested positive and have symptoms, How long until you can emerge from isolation?

Whether you have symptoms or not, you're supposed to quarantine for 14 days after a positive test.

🤥 [italic] If it sounds to good to be true . . . . . . . . .

The White House is a hot zone. It needs to be shut down and sanitized.

My current fantasy is that Melania's parents get it and if something happens to one of them she is so furious she declares she's voting for Biden

r250 They're merely grasping at straws now. Until Nov. 3, they're gonna try every conceivable hail Mary passes and hoping something will stick, atop outright voter suppression (e.g., TX drop off boxes, disproportionate rejection of ballots from NC AAs). Barring Oct surprise, everything they've done have had negligible or opposite effect

Is Kelly Ann skinny-skinny or anorexia-skinny ?

Methy-skinny.

Kaleigh Cockamamie is pos! Or whatever her name is.

Can we confirm Barr has it?? Oh sweet Jesus that's the ticket

Cancel the in-person VP debate. That White House is a Typhoid Mary

Stating the obvious, but a silver lining is the incessant Trump fatigue is a great motivator for anti-Trump voter turnout

White House press secretary tests positive for Covid-19

From CNN's Jason Hoffman

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted today that she tested positive for Covid-19 on Monday morning.

She says she is experiencing no symptoms and had no knowledge of Hope Hick’s testing positive before her briefing last Thursday.

She said in a statement posted on her Twitter account that she will begin to quarantine.

McEnany is at least the 11th person close to President Trump to have recently tested positive for the virus.

I'm loving October more and more and more.

If he keeps sashaying around high as a kite, just wait until he gets to the “irritable” phase of steroid use. Will he assault the doctors? Will he beat the Secret Service? Will he leap out of the car and attack some anti-Trump protester? Stay tuned!

R285, that’s not counting anonymous WH employees. Cleaning staff, interns, low level employees. I read a couple of days ago it was at least eleven of them. Probably more now.

I propose that we cancel the 2020 election until at least November 2021, and on January 1st, 2021, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton be appointed to equally share in the Presidential duties.

Yashar Ali says McEnanay is the 27th person to test positive in the president's orbit over the past week

He won’t leave that hospital alive.

[quote]Here comes Matt Gaetz with the dumbest take:

What is frightening is he has over 36,000 likes on that remark.

Remember when Kayleigh said Trump would keep the coronavirus out of America? LOL

NEW: Pastor Greg Laurie has tested positive for COVID-19.

He joined Vice President Pence at this past weekend's Prayer March on the Mall.

In addition, Laurie was also in attendance at the Rose Garden for the Amy Coney Barrett nomination event.

Are there many non-political staff at the White House? If so it would be joyous to equip them with electric cattle prods to allow them to preserve safe social distance.

The dumbest thing is that the VP debate is still going on, and the whole flotilla has to travel there.

Why not at least reschedule it at D.C. or on Zoom?

Barr probably has it but will not say so.

He'd declare himself an atheist or stick needles in his eyes before he'd disclose that.

Exactly R311

Zoom seems to make the most sense--or a special app that is created just for the debate.

What's the point in having them on the same stage with a handful of people in attendance?

And it gives much more control to the moderator

R303 That would actually be funny if it had been said by somebody else.

I can’t help but think the nominee is the super spreader, all of the cases seem to revolve around contact with her.

If she had COVID in the summer, is it possible to spread even if you recuperate and now test negative?

It's 2pm ET, when is the next update from Walter Reed?

R315, people have suddenly started testing positive again even though they feel fine. She probably is contagious and has never been tested.

"Dr. Sean Conley, Physician to the President, is expected to provide an update on the President’s condition in the 3 p.m. hour at Walter Reed."

Thank you, R318.

Vanity Fair reporting Trump Jr wants to have an intervention, but Jared and Ivanka are appeasing Trump

[quote]Don Jr has said he wants to stage an intervention, but Jared and Ivanka keep telling Trump how great he’s doing,’ a source said. Don Jr is said to be reluctant to confront his father alone. ‘Don said, ‘I’m not going to be the only one to tell him he’s acting crazy,’’ the source added.

All the Secret Service agents in the SUV for Trump's joyride will now have to quarantine for 14 days.

"We're not disposable," said one currently-active POTUS detail agent.

Maggie Haberman:

More info on 2 White House residence staff members who tested positive - they worked for the housekeeping department on the third floor, and didn't come in direct contact w the first family. When their tests came back positive, they were told to use "discretion" in discussing it.

I can hardly wait to hear all the ridiculous lies Baghdad Bob Conley is going to tell us today! 🙄

Kendall is said to be reluctant to confront his father alone. ‘Ken said, ‘I’m not going to be the only one to tell him he’s acting crazy,’’ the source added.

Fixed

I wonder if they are holding back as a stall tactic. Trump will not be released today.

"More info on 2 White House residence staff members who tested positive - they worked for the housekeeping department on the third floor, and didn't come in direct contact w the first family. "

Bet they'll get worse healthcare than Trump even though they probably pay more taxes than him

Are you saying you don't think they were transported via helicopter to a world-class hospital at the first sign of "mild symptoms," R327?

Remember: you can't spell "Conley" without C. O. N.

Obviously I have no medical training so this is a dumb question, but can't they just give him some tranquilizers to calm him down? Or, does that have too much of a depressive effect with his condition? I suppose either he or his family could deny the use of tranquilizers.

[quote] The dumbest thing is that the VP debate is still going on, and the whole flotilla has to travel there. Why not at least reschedule it at D.C. or on Zoom?

For one of the debates in 1960, JFK was in NY and Nixon was in LA.

*respiratory* depressive effect

From the link I posted at R320:

[quote]The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease [Alzheimer's] worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn [bold]and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign[/bold]. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.

Hmm.

They should call in Dr Kevorkian.

Sounds like Trump’s pre-Covid presidency, r333. With a bit of golf, TV and Twitter thrown in. Presidential ‘executive time’ they call it at the White House.

R335 I was thinking more the blank papers he was signing at the hospital photo op.

I confirmed that Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Calif, tested positive for Covid-19. Laurie was at the Rose Garden event for Amy Coney Barrett. I reached out to religious leaders at the gathering, incl. Jack Graham, Harry Jackson, Paula White with no reply

R325 you made me laugh out loud.

Dr? Conley looks like a deer in the headlights, but he lies like a Trump trained minion. The shifty doctor gave no believable answers to any of the questions. Doesn't even occur to the bad doctor that many of us have made it our mission to educate ourselves regarding the Dreaded Corona because the Trump Administration sure as hell isn't going to give us the help and information that the public deserves.

It all goes back to what I've been saying since 2016

Trump is at heart a con artist, selling his shitty hotels.

Think of him as the cruise director on the Titanic: "Don't pay any attention to the hole from that iceberg! We have the dessert bar open in the Starboard Lounge and chocolate fountain like you wouldn't believe!"

Some people at White House being told if they test positive, to only share with doctor, do not make public.

[quote]the doctor wouldn't share info on his lungs

Anything they refuse to share = bad news.

Now he really is going to think his DNA is superior - he's going to think he can do anything!

Trump will most certainly brag about his "good genes that helped him recover faster than anybody before. It's like you wouldn't believe. " Then he'll downplay the virus again saying it was just a mild fever for him and we should reopen

he'll also brag tonight about how the stock market soared because how "quickly he recovered"

[quote]You think they won’t pump him full of more?

I don't think they can indefinitely, no. Wards off an immune system freakout but also leaves him wide open to pneumonia.

Coronavirus likes this 👍🏻

I can't figure out if it was a hoax or not; he changed the news cycle from his crazy debate performance & taxes, but he lost a weekend campaigning 4 weeks before the election and had to be hospitalized with a virus he's consistently downplayed. Plus, the WH leaks like a fucking sieve - and a hairbrained plot like this would surely be cooked up by Javanka - so the other staffers would leak out what they were up to. So I guess we'll have to see what does or doesn't come out the rest of this week

But whatever the case, Biden & Lincoln Project can put back up negative ads - and of course add one with that bullshit motorcade/jerk off session on Sunday night.

R381 - Melania posts updates herself once in awhile. She says she's fine.

I eem fine.

Big boy eez alzo fine.

Mummy ent Daddy from Slovenia are alzo fine.

Eez Ze Donult alzo fine? I rilli don't care, doo you?

🤣 Everyone's fine.

Good to know.

Can you get Covid from sucking cock?

Asking for a friend.

R364 it’s the new #winning.

From Twitter. He’s planning to make his exit from the hospital a big PR event, coinciding with the evening news (on the east coast.)

[quote]NEWS: Trump wants to make a dramatic exit from Walter Reed. He plans to walk out the golden front doors on camera, sources tell @SalehaMohsin and me. He's shooting a video inside the hospital first, and then will walk to car and then to Marine One. No plan to speak to press.

He’s the biggest douche bag.

When will he get his comeuppance?

Why won’t he just die already.

R388 The ratings will be GREAT!

Will the pilot on Marine One be in full PPE garb (gown, N95 mask, goggles)? How about his personal valet and other WH staff?

He’ll be tweeting pics of himself striding out of that hospital like a BOSS all night.

Anybody who is faking this for Trump's re-election should be very careful about tempting me.1

I was under the impression that Melania was the

[Italic] Super 🤸 Spreader of the White House.

His shamelessness and self-absorption are limitless. He will make a circus out of EVERYTHING even his own fucking health

of course he's going to make a heavily produced video of him triumphantly leaving the hospital so Fox can put it on loop and help him perpetuate the lie that coronavirus isn't a big deal.

r391 1 thing for sure is that 45's televised funeral's Nielsens will likely rival those of Diana's, but most of us won't be grieving

We can't have a huge funeral during a pandemic.

It just wouldn't be right.

Yes, Covid is "nothing to be afraid of." I wish someone had said that to my friend before he died on a ventilator in complete renal failure.

Mr. Vitality looked a little wobbly going down the stairs as he was exiting the hospital. He was pretending to pat the railing going down the stairs, but we know damn well he was trying to steady himself.

Doesn't he know how filthy that hand rail is?

Good luck with Round 2, Mr. President.

so glad the new CNN polls are devastating to Trump

still annoying as hell that he has a higher approval rating than either Carter or Bush Sr at this time in their presidencies. Trump is 40% and I think Carter was 37% while Bush Sr was 33%

literally Trump can say and do ANYTHING and he will still hold onto 40% Even at opposing political spectrums, Carter is and Bush Sr were way more decent on their worst days than Trump on his best day.

Dana Bash: Potus returning to the WH teaming with the virus

Do they have a ventilator on stand by at the White House?

BREAKING NEWS: It is being reported that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19, is suffering from acute mental distress, or perhaps PTSD. Sources close to the virus report that it has refused to get out of the shower since Thursday. Reportedly, the virus is continually scrubbing itself, while muttering “forever unclean.“

[quote] Now he really is going to think his DNA is superior

I’d like to take a look at that DNA myself.

I feel bad for the service staff at the WH (maids, butlers, chefs, waiters, cleaning people) and the secret service staff

those in the Trump admin are at their own peril and are disregarding protocols

I noticed that “hand patting” on the hand rail.

Lord, I hate this man. 😈👿👹

First thing he does is remove his mask.

R407, I saw it too. I was saying, “fall! Trip and fall!”

Dammit, he didn’t.

R403, if they put him on a ventilator they’re just keeping him alive until Election Day. The death rate for ventilators is something ridiculous, like 90%. And yes, I think they would do that if there was no other way to keep him alive over the finish line.

He's now filming a mini-commercial to commemorate his complete lack of shame. Disgusting.

you know he has a fear of stairs because the idea of falling would be embarrassing and a sign of weakness in his eyes

he took his mask off right away with those still around him!

Ugh. Ivana.

She had the nerve to say that Trump did poorly at the debate and Biden did even worse.

Cannot believe this foolish woman who was raped by The Turd still carries some kind of torch for him

Herman Cain died 25 days after diagnosis. So, there’s still hope.

he has a full face of orange makeup

so a makeup artist or assistant was exposed while painting him up

NYT: The White House has decided not to trace the contacts of guests and staff members at the Sept. 26 Rose Garden celebration for Judge Amy Coney Barrett, where at least eight people, including the president, may have become infected.

Oh Dana, Oh Dear.

AP's Jonathan Lemire: President Trump, who has COVID-19, did not put his mask back on when he stepped inside the White House.

Two burly nursing assistants should have followed him down the stairs, holding on to his gait belt to steady him so he didn't tumble down the stairs.

R417, does that surprise anyone? They’re telling pos staff not to tell anyone. We know because they told everyone.

r389, believe me, he is not a happy person. He just plays one on TV.

Is it completely out of the realm that he was faking the whole thing?

I don’t trust a friggin thing that comes out of the his mouth or his enablers

He was grimacing when he took the mask off. I think he's not feeling so well.

I think Della said it, Melanie and all kids were probably hoping he croaked

I can you imagine having Trump in your immediate family? He sucks all goodness out of everything

[quote]Dana Bash: Potus returning to the WH teaming with the virus

TEAMING or TEEMING?

I can't wait for the polls next week

this is spiraling worse and worse for Trump 2020 lol

I hope he gets back out on the trail infecting more and more of his supporters and putting more and more of a strain on his immune system. I am not going to complain about any of this other than his exposing innocent bystanders.

Just saw the “taking off his mask” vid on the nightly news.

He did look like he was in pain

NYT: Top White House officials are blocking strict new federal guidelines for the emergency release of a coronavirus vaccine, objecting to a provision that would almost certainly guarantee that no vaccine could be authorized before the election.

When Claudia Conway's social media gives you better info that the rest of the media

What if Trump didn’t have Covid but another serious illness (i.e. a heart attack)?

He might be think that saying it’s COVID would garner him more sympathy and political advantage

Careful, Daddy that you don't fall down and break your hip.

Who would take your place?

What would you give me for a basket of kisses, Daddy?

I was talking it over with some colleagues. We all think he looked dyspneic.

Denise Dewald, MD @denise_dewald [quote] This does not look good. He is using accessory muscles to breathe and pushing his jaw forward to increase his airway size. He needs to go back to the hospital. Now.

🤭 He thinks he can go out on the campaign train in as little as 3-4 days.

Well, of course he can. But ....... Does he want to survive the Covid19 beast ?

[quote] AP's Jonathan Lemire: President Trump, who has COVID-19, did not put his mask back on when he stepped inside the White House.

Wait. What? You mean he hasn’t learned anything from his experience?

Suzy Collins.

I had to lookup dyspneic.

He should have kept the mask on.

R435 That picture is really telling the whole truth !

"Gasping" is currently trending on Twitter.

So you are saying he looks like he can’t breathe? Groundbreaking.

He got a fresh dye job at the Walter Reed hair salon.

Trump standing on the balcony struggling for air reminds me of this.

dyspneic - not breathing or able to breathe except with difficulty;

Trump is bloviating hard at r435.

Says he’s “maybe immune” to Covid. Seriously.

[quote]Trump's post hospital message: "Get out there, be careful." "I knew there's danger to it. But I had to do it. I stood out front. I led. Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did. I know there's a risk. ... But that's OK. And now I'm better. Maybe I'm immune, I don't know."

[quote]What if Trump didn’t have Covid but another serious illness (i.e. a heart attack)?

Sean Penn actually has a good take on this, "I like Presidents who don't get COVID-19".

Trump is trying to play the movie version of a WWII John Wayne--type to fulfill his image of himself as a true warrior, something he never was and never will be. He can pretend to be "SuperPrez" all the way into a wheelchair or the grave.

Now he's just president Plague.

[quote]Nobody that's a leader would not do what I did.

State News (Fox) is pushing this angle: Trump put himself in a position to confront this virus to show the American people that it can be beat and we needn’t live in fear.

Mamie Eisenhower also got her hair done at The Walter Reed Salon de Beauté

In that case, maybe he should do the same to Ebola and show up that coward Obama!

In that case, maybe he should do the same to Ebola and show up that coward Obama!

R414 I think Ivana was the only wife who did really love him.

R414 I think Ivana was the only wife who did really love him.

I seriously wonder how Dr. Conley and his doctor brigade can sleep tonight.

David Gergen said Trump is acting like a "madman". Well-said. Everythind so far in 2020 is like one bad hallucination.

DR. STRANGELOVE, HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE COVID!

R466 🤭🤣🤗🤓🤥

Step aside, Nestor, Trump is Matt Gaetz's new bf!

Years ago I returned from a vacation, noticing on the plane that my legs felt tight, my tongue thick. I though it might be related to the long plane trip. Within a day of arriving home, I was in the ER with my throat closing, couldn't breathe. To make a long tale short, I was diagnosed after weeks with idiopathic angioedema (it wasnt that). these episodes of swelling were not related to any allergy or other cause. During critical periods corticosteroids were used to reduce inflammation. Large doses. They never really found the cause, and the syndrome went on for about a year.

One night on yet another emergency room disaster, I became very angry at the doctors who I felt were not listening to me. I told the doctor I felt there were growths like walnuts in my bowel. The doctor left. I climbed up on the bed and began to try to pull the tv monitor off the wall. I was yelling maybe now someone will listen to me!! I managed to half rip it down before my bf was able to stop me. I am slight, not muscular, usually zen about things. The most peaceful person. I felt like Superman.

The drs realized my response was caused by the corticosteroids.

Trump is going to crash in a few days.

NBC News: Neurological symptoms are extremely common among Covid-19 patients sick enough to be hospitalized, a study published Monday finds.

The symptoms range from mild to severe, and can include headaches, dizziness and altered brain function, according to the study in the journal Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology.

The findings highlight the wide-ranging effects the virus can have on the body. What's more, the study found that patients may continue to experience these symptoms long after they recover from the disease.

If that's true of Trump, how would anyone tell?

I give him 3-5 days before he either croaks outright or ends up back in the hospital in ICU.

Even Patti Lupine is shading him

If he’s taking immune suppressants, he could easily get something else too, like the flu. Bye bye.

Movie choice for tonight:

[italic]Riding in Cars with Covid

Damn, La LuPone for the win!

Then why not just say "my colleagues and I thought he looked short of breath."?

Pence's press secretary tested positive. Miss Pence, you in danger, girl.

I know this sounds evil, but for the rest of the month, if I wake up at night, rather than just roll over and go back to sleep, I'm going to want to grab my phone and see if Trump croaked.

The idea that Trump is struggling to breathe means he could very well have to return to the hospital. It wouldn't shock me if over night or tomorrow this happened

clearly his release from the hospital was against medical advice

fucking Fox is going to milk this as "Trump is showing how to beat coronavirus and it's not so serious". That quack doctor Scott Atlas was on earlier and claimed that Trump's case is proof we have all the necessary treatments needed

If he- as he says- gets tested "daily", then there should be a timeline of the day he tested negative- and the day he tested positive.

And how did he get access to experimental drugs not approved yet? And is he on blood thinners? And are his lungs clear?

I know it's his private health information, but people are starting to wonder wtf. None more than the White House staff, drivers, etc.

When Trump was having difficulty breathing on the balcony, a few nurses and doctors commented (on Twitter) that the shoulder and muscle movements were indicative of pneumonia. While Trump is high and in good spirits on steroids, he thinks he has beaten COVID. He will learn that is not true shortly.

"I can you imagine having Trump in your immediate family?"

Yes.

Claudia Conway (Kellyanne's daughter) is on Twitter and TikTok saying Trump is in much worse shape than he's letting on.

I believe her

r468, because VOTN is a doctor and he wanted to remind or inform every one here of that fact.

“Gasping” is trending on Twitter, with many re-tweets of a short video of Trump gasping for breath. Trump is described as “wincing with pain as he breathes.”

As you can see, leaving WR has reassured everyone he’s in tip-top shape.

Rudy

Here’s the wincing in pain video. Any medical people want to comment on this? It looks pretty bad.

VOTN, becoming a doctor is an impressive accomplishment. Congratulations.

Trump is being investigated for not following coronavirus regulations at his Bedminster fundraiser

🤧 Are they real doctors, or do they just play them on TV ?

R478 Rudy Giuliani ready to join the Covid list? He’s coughed throughout tonight’s Fox News interview. Giuliani has claimed he’s tested negative. Honestly you can’t write satire better than this!

How are you only now realizing VOTN is a doctor, R480? He doesn't let anyone forget.

so because Trump is telling everyone else in his circle not to publicly announce if they test positive, we might not know if Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, test positive

Glad VOTN is here. Really people, even though we think we are, we’re not doctors.

Oh, brother.

I like VOTN

it's truly maddening the amount of repub politicians, right wing media hosts, commentators and even professionals such as attorneys and doctors who are willing to go along with propaganda that they know is both completely wrong but also dangerous.

This doctor seems to be giving honest information....

I watch Death of Stalin over the weekend.

Holy shit, it will explain how the Trump admin operates

Donald Trump's the VOM.

😵[italic] Voice of Madness.

I have never that "Trump is obese" more often than I have in the last 4 days. It's fucking hilarious. You know he hates that so many people are saying it.

*never heard

hahaha Mary Trump is on CNN now

can't wait for her to unload on Trump

She just got back from the movies, did she?

R468, sorry you don't like medical terms. Trump was not just "short of breath" in the video, like a sedentary obese person just making it to the mailbox, and ending up with increased respiratory rate, "puffing", a pattern that resolves pretty quickly when the O2 demand is finally met.

Trump is "dyspneic". He is having difficulty breathing with increased respiratory effort, altered breathing pattern (you can see his shoulders lift and the increases expansion of his chest), increased respiratory rate, open mouth breathing. He appears to be suppressing a cough, and sometimes gasping. Someone mentioned he appears to be using his accessory muscles to compensate for his reduced capacity.

He may have had the corticosteroid effect of feeling like a young bull, but it definitely is wearing off. If he has this level of respiratory compromise, he may also have some cardiac involvement as well.

He looked fucking awful too. More than usual.

McNinny claimed that she didn't know about Hope Hicks testing positive. Isn't that her job?

[quote]Two burly nursing assistants should have followed him down the stairs, holding on to his gait belt to steady him so he didn't tumble down the stairs.

Two burly nurse assistants should have shoved him in a straight jacket and dragged him into the psych ward.

He's trying his darnest to win the election, he can't do that from the hospital. If he loses and has to leave the white house, the NY AG will come for him and move him to the big house.

[quote]I watch Death of Stalin over the weekend.

It should be required viewing for the nation. The parallels are mind-boggling.

[quote]Trump is going to crash in a few days.

Taking forever.

He is not crashing or dying. They know exactly what they are doing. Perhaps earlier in the pandemic, we could all got lucky. But fortunately for him, doctors found the way to better treat this.

In any case, "we are all going to die anyway..."

And yet just yesterday new predictions are that the deaths will be approximately 3,000 per day come December.

Yeah, r504, we know how to treat this. 🙄

R505, Unfortunately for those 3,000, they do not have access to Walter Reed presidential privileges and quality of care.

[quote]They’re telling pos staff not to tell anyone.

That's odd, as we've just heard that Covid is nothing to be afraid of.

No more cute doctor? Sad.

R497, I respect your opinion and knowledge. My admittedly uneducated, but experienced guess is, after showily ascending a steep staircase (when there is a ground level door, no doubt leading to an elevator) he is severely out of breath and desperate not to show it. He can’t let himself gasp for air, too embarrassing, so he’s holding himself rigid and trying to appear normal but he’s starting to hyperventilate. Been there, done that.

R491's syntax sounds suspiciously like Melania's. I like to think that's what she did over the weekend.

[quote]shoved him in a straight jacket

Oh, dear.

r506 Despite the fact that most of them probably paid a lot more than $750 in taxes.

I hope everyone in MSM is commenting about the video. He's obviously in pain and gasping for breath.

[quote]In any case, "we are all going to die anyway..."

Translation: "We don't care if you die."

Anyone still believing the orange clown and his insane clown posse deserves what's coming to them.

[quote] Megapastor John Hagee is perhaps best known outside Evangelical circles for calling marriage equality “two disturbed people playing house” and Hurricane Katrina “the judgment of God” for the city’s “level of sin.”

Maybe God is cleaning house.

🤞Bill-y Barr! Bill-y Barr! Bill-y Barr!🤞

Will it be announced today?

Billy Barr has deemed himself an “essential worker” and is choosing to return to the office without quarantining any longer. Hopefully he will infect more repugs. Isn’t it time for him to meet with Mitch McConnell?

R504 = Chris Christie BEFORE he got sick.

When he got sick, though, watch out! Don’t get between him and the hospital!

Six years ago, Trump criticized a doctor with Ebola. Now, he's hitting back:

If this woman can vote to get the fucker out, we all can.

Another superb column by Marine Hyde - some highlights:

[quote]Yet there he was, this hideous kink in the arc of history, giving the most dangerous balcony performance since Michael Jackson had his baby crowdsurf off one. The American people are all Blanket now.

[quote]As for the optics, “deranged balcony address” is certainly a look – but not one that tends to end well. How might this version turn out? Unfortunately, it’s not a question Trump’s attention span equips him to answer. His reference points for the form are the occasional three minutes of historical documentaries he’s forced to watch while searching his stomach-folds for the TV remote. It feels like he switches over to Fox News before discovering how a whole series of 20th-century balcony stories ended.

[quote] Think of Trump as the 83rd Airborne, parachuting his deadly particles deep into butlers’ respiratory systems. He won’t give you a Purple Heart, but he might give you purple lungs.

[quote]Dying in the line of duty used to mean taking a bullet for the president; it could now involve taking him a Diet Coke. Thank you for your drinks service.

Thanks r522!

Another highlight:

[quote]Still: don’t call him Wussolini.

Oh, I will. I will call him Wussolini.

Wow — A U.S. official confirms that all the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff are quarantining at home after a positive COVID test for Admiral Ray, the Vice Commandant of the US Coast Guard

A madman in the White House, his enablers in Congress and the Joints in quarantine.

Does everyone feel safe now?

[quote]A madman in the White House, his enablers in Congress and the Joints in quarantine.

America has been made great again!

MSNBC has on Dr. Vin Gupta. CNN has on Dr. Fauci. Fox has on Dr. Oz.

Dr. Gupta has not been having any of this nonsense. He thinks this whole charade has been despicable.

CNN's Dr Gupta (Sanjay) has no more fucks to give either.

So Mark Meadows is over-riding FDA guidelines on a two-month period for vaccines will be tested, making it easier to get one going by the election? Why does that asshole, who has NO medical credentials have a say in this matter? C’mon, Nancy and Company, raise a ruckus.

R530: FDA just responded with "HAHAHAHAHA no." So good on them.

Stephan Miller !!! Tests Positive Jackpot!!

The Trump WH and GOP should be declared a Biohazard and fumigated out of existence.

OK--who had Stephen Miller on their COVID Bingo card?

Has Rudi said anything? He was coughing his head off on Fox News yesterday.

Rudi who-- Gernreich?

Rudy Vallee, Rose.

It concerns how much some of you watch Fox News. Why?

After watching that "Triumph of the Will" tribute he filmed last night Mussolini isn't the 20th century dictator that comes to mind in connection with Trumpler.

[quote]It concerns how much some of you watch Fox News. Why?

There were clips of it all over Twitter.

Project Lincoln's Fred Wellman:

Remember when Trump blamed military and law enforcement for Hope Hicks getting COVID? It never made sense why she, and now him, would blame military personnel for giving it to them. Well...did you know there was a Gold Star Mother's Day event at the White House on Sunday?

I'm hearing from families now. Not one has been contacted by the White House about possible exposure or contact tracing. They were exposed to multiple people that have tested positive and the Trump Administration can't be bothered to even email them.

It's Miller Time!

It's looking like Trump Team debate prep was an orgy of Covid-19 bug chasing.

Erin Burnett asked Brian Morgenstern, WH Dep Comms Dir if he can definitively say Trump tested negatively the day of the debate. Morgenstern: "I don't have that."

Is there a grimmer reaper than Miller?

[quote] The fact that that Stephen Miller caught #coronavirus from Trump but not from his wife proves that social distancing works.

[quote] He was coughing his head off on Fox News yesterday.

People have been saying this all day but so far all I’ve seen is one clip where he coughs, ONCE.

I hope you don’t take that as “coughing his head off.”

Six out of the eight people in Trump's debate prep are now poz.

Waiting on Ghouliani and Jason Miller.

[quote]The fact that that Stephen Miller caught #coronavirus from Trump but not from his wife proves that social distancing works.

It also proves that humans can infect bats.

All these positive tests for the Repug Gestapo are the best October surprises ever.

R549 - if I could WW you a hundred times for that, I would. I'm laughing my fool head off!

Giuliani is possibly in worse physical shape than Trump so Covid would not be good for him.

He's also a rough looking 76

[quote]He's also a rough looking 76

Ghouliani would be a rough-looking 96.

This is evil and wrong, but I don't care. I just want one ONE of those fuckers to die from it. I don't care which one.

[quote]It also proves that humans can infect bats.

So that means Rick Scott is next?

Now a bunch of people who work at a Minneapolis restaurant have to go into quarantine - because of Trump. They catered an event Trump attended.

Here’s what’s on Dump’s mind tonight as he sits in the mostly deserted WH:

[quote] I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents pertaining to the single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax. Likewise, the Hillary Clinton Email Scandal. No redactions!

Hillary’s e-mails!

[quote] This is evil and wrong, but I don't care. I just want one ONE of those fuckers to die from it. I don't care which one.

I do, R554.

Strict White House testing doesn't mean squat if you're not taking precautions, i.e., wearing a face mask, hand washing and sanitizing, etc.

Trump doesn't strike me as the type who washes his hands after he takes a whiz or a dump.

So who’s next on the Covid bingo card?

My guess is Giuliani and Barr already have it. The only question is will we find out.

Rudy probably expired, and Trump had his deep cleaners Beaver and Buttface Jr. dispose of the remains.

[quote]Trump doesn't strike me as the type who washes his hands after he takes a whiz or a dump.

Well, there goes my dinner.

Seriously, you'd think the Spawn and Melania would wait until Trump is passed out, grab every cellphone device he has where he can access his Twitter account and replace them with disabled phones where he only thinks, in his roid-addled way, he is sending out Tweets.

Must I think of everything?

At tomorrow's debate, Kalama should start by reading the 25th Amendment and asking Pence, 'What are you waiting for?'

^^ Kamala

Although Kalama can also chip in.

R564, I am predicting there will be no debate tomorrow. There will be more pressing matters.

Will they test Pence before the debate? I hope they do. Republicans are typhoid marys (accent on the "Mary" in Mike's case)

They were supposed to be tested before last week's debate, but PPG showed up too late to be tested - intentionally I'm sure.

What more pressing matters, R566? Trump is going to declare war on California? Be put in a straight jacket?

[quote]Be put in a straight jacket?

Oh, dear.

R566, yes, what pressing matters? Is this just a guess? I’m fantasizing about waking up in the morning to news alerts of Dump’s being airlifted to WR again.

[quote] Be put in a straight jacket

From out of the closet?

R560 Yes! Those two creeps have it for sure and if they’re hiding, I hope someone leaks it.

Still want to know, what the press conference is about, and what more pressing matters? Some kind of emergency vote for Typhoid Amy?

If Trump ends up in WR again, Bill Barr will come out and say he’s the acting President.

[quote]I’m fantasizing about waking up in the morning to news alerts of Dump’s being airlifted to WR again.

He needs to be airlifted to the loony bin with his buddy Brad Parscale.

I can't stand to look at Giuliani so I don't know if this is normal for him, but he seems mildly out of breath throughout this interview and stops to suck air mid-sentence at 2:50.

But the really crazy part is between :46 and :53.

Rudy sounds like he’s gasping between sentences.

OTOH, people that get Covid end up with permanent lung damage, so he could have just as well had it before and this is what’s left of his now Swiss cheese lungs.

🤡 Trump and his 🦇 GhoulFriend both look like hell.

They both look pretty sick, too

R566, give us one word. We've all seen your conference post in the other thread. One word?

Maybe Trump is announcing his new plan to overthrow the election by replacing the electors.

My money is on all the Covid positive senators coming back to vote on ACB. He apparently thinks he already lost the election, so put her on the Supreme Court and have her vote to let Trump replace all the electors with Trumpers. Then he can win even if no one votes for him, and we can live in North Korea.

Doctor interviewed on Rachel Maddow’s show says Trump may be making irrational Covid-influenced decisions. The idea of Trump being even more irrational than usual is truly frightening

This is becoming similar to the madness of King George.

R583, George was carted off to a loony bin, right? We can only hope that happens here too.

[quote]so because Trump is telling everyone else in his circle not to publicly announce if they test positive, we might not know if Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr, test positive

Don't Mask. Don't Tell.

Ooooh, Moscow Mitch next! Please please please!

The Lincoln Project's newest. They must be working 24/7.

Too bad they didn't ask Patti to sing it, though. You know she would have in a second.

And since Trump's favorite musical is Evita, I REALLY hope he saw this video.

Also pretty great...

Patti was otherwise occupied, r588...

I don't think I could love a video more than I love that Randy/Patti duet.

😵 This is a wide-awake living nightmare.

The White House denied Wednesday that President Trump worked in the Oval Office on Tuesday while still suffering from coronavirus, despite an assertion otherwise from by White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow.

Kudlow told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Trump had worked in the Oval with unspecified “extra precautions” to protect against the spread of the virus.

He declined to “be specific” on whether Trump wore a mask, instead insisting that “traffic is limited” in the Oval and that “additional measures … much greater than simply masking” had been taken.

Almost time for a new thread. Here you go...

LIARS. He's in bed with pnuemonia.

R595 - the trouble is that this administration lies so much that no one knows who to believe - Kudrow or a White House spokesman? Knowing what a reckless asshole Trump is, I would think he's wandering around the White House at will with no mask on spreading his germs around.

Meadows walked back that he was in the Oval Office.

I’m thinking Meadows is cleaning it up (so to speak) knowing that trump would be excoriated for putting everyone who works in the WH at risk by going to the Oval Office.

To be clear, I’m not saying he DIDN'T go to the Oval Office, just that they don’t want the press to know that.

Trump doesn't listen to anyone so I suspect he's walking around the White House without a mask and breathing on anyone who is unfortunate to be in the same room with him.

I bet my savings that he's been in the Oval Office.

Let's continue on the new thread Part Five.

Thanks.
