Is anyone else wondering if he’s going to come out to marine one in his jammies? Yup! And bunny slippers too. But no, in his suit and walking on his own, with a mask on. Too little, too late.

Maybe it's a body double.

Plenty of COVID patients sadly walked themselves into hospitals before collapsing. I want to hear him speak.

He did walk to helicopter. It was about a 20 second walk, with three or four stairs up into Marine 1.
They weren't going to wheel him out if they could at all avoid it.

I still have many skeptical and uncharitable thoughts about all of this. He's effectively captured the news cycle for as long as he wants to. Anything Biden does is going to get buried. Trump's own disastrous performance at the debate will quickly be forgotten as "Pray for the President" starts trending on conservative social media. He can hide out in Walter Reed and watch his sympathy numbers tick upward, and then emerge "victorious" at the time of his choosing. Maybe he is really sick, IDK. But it's sad that this president has lied to his own advantage so often that we have to wonder. I could have written this.

The last thing we need is a state funeral. The last thing we need is a state funeral in the middle of a pandemic with a party that keeps referring to this virus as a "China plague" and "China virus." I worry about our Asian American/Pacific Islander citizens in this country already, including my two biracial nieces.

Re: Mild symptoms. I'm pretty sure the medical definition of mild is much different than our regular idea of it is. I think it's not clinically severe until you are on a ventilator.

A prerecorded video? And you can hear his voice sounds bad. I wish it were longer so people could tear it apart 😂 I cant tell if he’s struggling to breathe. All that technology and his video looks like one of my students submitted it from the cheap school computer 😂

Yeah, the video and the self-walk out to Marine One point more toward my skeptical view of things above than of any dangerous illness so far.

One would hope they didn't drag a camera crew in with his infected ass.

It doesn't seem like his normal bluster. The way he said "I think I am going to do well," compared to saying the "First Lady is doing very well" felt to me that this time he is unsure of the outcome, a little scared.

But I still do not like how the tv stations all day have been focusing on how he is obese. He clearly is, and he clearly has risk factors, probably the biggest factor is his age. But I still can't get behind all this talk of him being obese. He is obese it's a simple fact. Trump's own words "it is what is is" have already been quoted, but it's so fitting in this instance I'm going to say it again. Have you already forgotten him calling some women " fat pig" and " slob"? You need to save your sympathy for someone more deserving, he's getting off very lightly with just 'obese'

Imma wait and see how many tweets he can’t surpress tonight when he reads people are calling him fat. 😂 But again, as much as we hate him, we can’t let someone like China realize we could possibly have a crisis on our hands. So I’m skeptical and yet suspicious...PR goes beyond the US. The last thing we need is Iraq going “oh fucking hell bitchessss, we’ve been waiting!”

Yep I don't trust any of this. If he is in bad condition, I don't trust that we will be told the truth.
What's different in this generation vs the past is that there are cameras everywhere; information travels so fast with Twitter and the like. I'm sure there will be people tasked on knowing the movements of Pence, Pelosi, McConnell, Meadows, Mnunchin, Pompeo, and their support people, etc. In the absolute worst case scenario, Chief Justice Roberts movements. If multiple people start acting in an atypical manner I think we will know something is going on, even in face of denials. There is government business, national security business that needs to get done and they won't be able to keep all of it under wraps. However, maybe they can hide things longer because the President hasn't been doing it anyway. Also, excuse my little tin foil hat moment what is in Russia's best interest? Because they will know his condition, leak or not leak. More tin foil moments, we could theoretically know by their actions. Lots of people love to play the game of interpreting situations via tangential movements, and this is the biggest one of them all.
