Maybe we should stress this LOUD and clear since he pays little or no fed taxes. Since we hear so often about the “freeloaders” at the bottom of the income scale who don’t pay income taxes.

Since he is reportedly in “good spirits “clearly he isn’t watching the news. I haven’t heard one newscast that hasn’t mentioned his obesity,

It’s no wonder people have a hard time believing he has it given his past with bone spurs. This could be his 2020 version of bone spurs.

If Trump is well enough to be watching the news, all the coverage that highlights that he is obese is driving him nuts. Dh said that maybe he is only watching FOX news, but Trump has shown himself to be addicted to all news channels’ coverage of him, so I’m sure CNN is on (if he is watching t.v.). I don't know about their television coverage, but out of curiosity I did look at their webpage and they do have a pretty prominent article on his weight there.

Chris Wallace, that obviously biased moderator guy, must have hijacked their webpage! 😜 😂

I can't even keep up with the positives and who interacted with who. I think we're only at the beginning of the announcements. Team Trump...the super spreaders!

Forgive me if someone else already mentioned this, but I just saw footage of Senator Mike Lee maskless and hugging his way around the WH lawn after the Coney Barrett announcement the other day. What the hell? Who is hugging these days? What a dumb asshole. People who know it's all a hoax and just a flu.

or people with more money and/or power than sense... I don't believe their use of this drug means anything more than a reflection of the fact that he's (unfortunately) President and they have to take every precaution with his health. (unfortunately)

His team of doctors are calculating the best possible mixture of medication and vitamins. Lucky for him and all politicians in Washington, he will receive the best possible medical care money can buy. Unlike many of us who have to buy our medical care — the thing he’s trying to do away with.

www.npr.org/2020/10/02/919697784/trump-makes-unannounced-visit-to-walter-reed-following-coronavirus-diagnosis?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterPresident Trump on Friday made an unannounced trip to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md, White House pool reporters awaiting his arrival said.
Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said that "President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day. Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady."
The White House also provided a brief update on Trump's treatment Friday. Dr. Sean Conley, the president's physician, says that President Trump received an experimental drug made by Regeneron, which contains two antibodies against the coronavirus.
The medicine is currently in clinical trials and isn't approved by the Food and Drug and Administration. How the president's medical team got the medicine wasn't disclosed in the statement.
In response to NPR's query, Regeneron declined to comment specifically, citing patient confidentiality. But Regeneron said it can make the drug available outside a clinical trial through a "compassionate use program," subject to the OK of a review committee.
Article continues after sponsor message
The drug, called REGN-COV2, is given as a single dose by injection (an infusion). The president received the high dose being tested by the company – 8 grams.
Because the drug contains two antibodies it's sometimes called an antibody cocktail. It's OK to describe it that way.
The company released preliminary results this week from a test of patients treated outside hospitals. The study found that in COVID-19 patients whose bodies hadn't produced their own antibodies against the coronavirus, the medicine improved symptoms and lowered the amount of virus over time compared with a placebo.
The president is also taking some supplements – zinc, vitamin D and melatonin. He's taking a heartburn drug – famotidine (brand name Pepcid) – and a daily aspirin.

They insisted Boris Johnson was going to hospital just as a precaution but within a short time he was in intensive care.

As someone with a LOT of experience with Walter Reed hospital food over the past 2 years, it is really very good. They run it like room service even for us peons. I usually have grilled salmon and rice for dinner and smoothies and/or soup and salad for lunch. Omelettes to order for breakfast. Not that he would want to eat any of that.

I don't think he's there yet. NBC is showing Marine One sitting on the White House lawn waiting for him to load.

And every one of the people who have to visit the hospital for their regular appointments as long as he is there will be majorly inconvenienced by very long security checks to even get on base. It is a looong process whenever a VIP is at the hospital. I have an oncologist appointment and an infusion scheduled for the 15th and hope he will be discharged by then.

why is he going by helicopter and not by car? SO thinks it'll be telling based on whether Trump walks himself onto Marine One.
