Did he really just say “I learned a lot about Covid?” Or is that a joke? Mind boggling. Yes, learned a lot in real school, not “let’s read the books school”. Fucking idiot.

Why don’t they tell him no when he says he’s going to do stupid things. Say, “no that won’t work and isn’t an option” and then hold firm like you do with two year olds. It works. I do it all day long at work. We tell the kids no, and prevent shit from happening, and then they don’t do it. Simple. It’s not like he can drive himself away. He doesn’t have a car.

JFC. What responsible doctor would allow him to be around other people?!! Can ANYONE say no to this reckless piece of garbage?! People with Covid are dying ALONE at hospitals because of the precautionary rules. It is INSANE that he's allowed to do such inconsiderate actions in public. Think of all the trump cultists who are now going to be prancing around being Covid Positive. I just can't anymore. Patients aren't prisoners. If you want to leave a hospital, you can. It would be against medical advice, and most likely he signed away liability, but a hospital can't hold you against your own will. They can say, you can't come back if you leave, but no one is going to do that to the POTUS due to the blowback it would cause. Well they fucking should. If they would tell a regular person they can’t come back they should tell this moron the same, President or not.

This made me LOL and took me back to when DD1 was a baby and DH used to take her for a short drive to get her to go to sleep when she was a bit cranky. My husband and I were just talking about how awful it would be to be around Trump all hyped up on steroids. I wasn’t great to be around when I was on steroids for my thyroid eye disease and then for my chemo, and I’d like to think that I am generally more pleasant to be around/considerate of those around me than Trump. I can only imagine how crazy he is. I was on steroids for an entire summer, I learned exactly what they meant by roid rage. I honestly thought about leaving my house because I wanted to kill my kids. And forget sleeping, that didn’t happen. But my house was super clean.

I’m circling back to this because I am so thoroughly disgusted. I know y’all say it can get worse, and unfortunately, you’re probably right. I think though that car ride is a turning point for me. I am over trump supporters, and I’m going to lump ANYONE who votes for him for ANY reason as a supporter. Up until now I’ve tried to keep an open mind when I read political threads. It’s become increasingly difficult the last 2-3 months for all of us, myself included. Not any more. If you’re not voting for Biden then you are not a good person.Like I said upthread a bit, I’m not interested in hearing another word out of a trump supporter’s mouth. IRL or here. I have never put anyone on *ignore* for the content that they post (except obvious trolls). I’ve only ever used *ignore* for tone. Not anymore. I just went through and made every trump supporter i could think of invisible). Give it a try. Let them spew their crazy amongst themselves. We’re not going to change their minds, so make them just POOF and disappear. Life’s too short for this kind of BS here. TG I know less than a handful like them IRL. They are truly a horrible, reprehensible party.

My first though in watching the video is that he looks really pale but then I realized that he must not have had time to pack his orange stuff before going to the hospital. I am so tired of this man.

Someone pointed out upthread that the doctors probably need him to not wear his make-up so that they can monitor his tone and color. It must be killing him.

Did he really just say “I learned a lot about Covid?” Or is that a joke? Mind boggling. Isn’t that special. It took him only NINE freakin’ months to learn “a lot” about COVID. That jackass did not learn a single thing. Now, whoever was in the SUV with him and every single person he came in contact with in his pathetic need for cheers and validation will have to quarantine for fourteen days.

. From Fox News "A spokesperson for Carlos A. Giménez, the mayor of Miami-Dade County, told Fox News on Sunday the protests were a "contributing factor" to the local coronavirus spike. Giménez "meets several times a week with his team of medical experts," the spokesperson, Patty Abril, responded in an email. "Those experts have told him that, based on information in our local emergency rooms, the protests were a contributing factor, along with our community letting its guard down and not social distancing or wearing masks, as mandated. Graduation parties, house parties and restaurants illegally turning into clubs after midnight all contributed to the spike." "Several big-city mayors and top officials are acknowledging that weeks of anti-police protests and riots may have contributed to surging coronavirus rates, weeks after Democrats and even some epidemiologists openly encouraged Black Lives Matter allies to demonstrate in the streets. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti acknowledged that public protests likely were causing a coronavirus spike, just two days after claiming there wasn't "any conclusive evidence" showing a connection between the two. " Republicans are the ignorant super spreaders.

And MSM continues to speak about all-things-Trump. He makes sure of it (or does Mark Burnett???), even when he's supposedly in a hospital trying to beat Covid. He just risked people's lives, more, again! Sick fuck! My thoughts: With all of the West Wing people testing positive, I have to wonder if he has Covid or if he wanted to ditch the place until it's thoroughly sanitized. He took a few layers of his orange paint off and headed to WR Hospital. It's either that or that today's episode was another well-produced couple of minutes of him PRETENDING to be okay. Maybe the doctors amped him up on steroids and meds and let him go out? I'd love to have seen him get in/out of the car....... The pre-car video just sent me over the top! He made it seem like this was part of a freakin' reality show ("watch what I'm going to do!"). We're 4 weeks out and we should be focused on BOTH candidates right now, but he's still trying everything he could to garner the spotlight. We have to question his every move because he's getting more desperate. One more thing: MSM (mainstream media) is putting out Jason Miller now as the "Senior Advisor" to the campaign? Really? How DARE they even show him after what he did!!!!!!!!! He needs to hide in a hole forever. I'd be screaming out, "SMOOTHIE" if I were anywhere near him. How do his actions fall in line with this campaign's "right to life" idea??? Disgusting! Who knows what's the truth anymore with this psychopath! And the twisted thing is that he would LOVE it if he knew people were questioning his every move and his motives. He loves all of this attention. And it is getting me so f**king angry that the MSM continues to help him. They are falling into his trap of keeping everyone captivated on his health instead of still talking about his tax fraud and Melania spewing anger and hatred. Liberal media my ass. They aren't helping any!! I apologize for sounding like a shrill teenager having a fit. I've been dealing with teenage hormones today and it just hasn't been fun. Both have made me grumpy today.

Who would this be? I think that the White House keeps the physicians (and test administrators) who work there/with them very tightly under control. HIPAA allows that. Per HIPAA, they (medical personnel) legally cannot disclose any medical information (including test results) to anyone without the permission of the individual. I, personally, find it telling that Barr travelled to the White House today and yesterday to take COVID tests. Why go there to take COVID tests unless you knew that the results would not be told to anyone else (or leaked)? There have to be other more convenient places to take a COVID test. Security to get into the White House is a bitch. You would think that Barr would have a variety of places to get tested. www.cnn.com/2020/10/03/politics/william-barr-coronavirus-quarantine/index.htmlWho would the medical supervisors be? Dunno. I assumed a fed employer screening program would have to be supervised by a skilled fed agency. Can they just buy a bunch of tests, hire a tech and contract with a lab? The results go directly to each employee, who can then choose to just keep working? Who tells a positive guest they can’t enter? I would hope they’re following the requirement to notify the health department who tested positive. That involves name, age, sex, test date and contact information. If the District has contact tracing, imagine the poor schlub who has to contact “Trump, Donald.” Lordy.Long way of still saying “Dunno.” LOL. I understand the concept of medical privacy. I guess I’m confused by how this vaunted “Safest place in the country” testing works amid the interplay of privacy and public health. Also wondering at what point medical staff could (ethically? pragmatically?) force a president’s hand by refusing to provide continued demanded residential treatment (instead of hospitalization). And, of course, imagining the tantrums. I’ll submit my movie script when it’s ready. My people have reached out to Harrison Ford to play the grizzled, conflicted doc. I’ll piggyback on my previous response to say that the I watched an interview with the GOP Governor of Ohio earlier this evening who *very* reluctantly shared the information that NO ONE has yet been officially informed in his state - you know where the debate was held with all the many workers involved in making that happen - that the President and members of his entourage had tested positive for COVID. Contact tracing only applies to the unimportant. Certainly not to the GOP elite COVID deniers.

Hugs! You didn't sound grumpy. I immediately 'liked' your comment. No worries.
After the subsequent time since I last posted, I am CONVINCED that he doesn't have Covid. He simply didn't put his bronzer on. Yup, he has bags under his eyes; that's it!!!!! The labored breathing? I think it's intentional (as sick as that is).
Time will tell what was true but Trump owns stock in every freakin' drug that these "doctors" claimed to have given him. I'm callin' bullshit. We knew that he'd unravel and try to take us all down with him (and end democracy, or try!) in these next few weeks. If this is a stunt, I fear what's coming next. He's beyond unhinged and I'm afraid that his 'wife', the GOP and everyone else is playing along while his own staff are falling like flies.
Bedtime for me. I can't take another minute of wasting time guessing about this fat orange freak.

I'm with @bergdorfblonde. The sooner he comes back, the less I'll believe he was actually sick with Covid-19. Worn down makes sense considering his crappy health; anxiety attack, sure, especially considering Hope Hick's diagnosis; but not Covid-19.
He needed to stop the free-wheeling bad press about his wife's tape, the debate, his taxes, the poll numbers, and... well, we can go back two weeks to find more things he needed to divert the "fake news" from talking about if need be. It's a never-ending list with this Administration/family.
Now the MSM isn't talking about Trump's lies & blunders and how well Biden did in the debate, they're talking about how quickly Trump is beating Covid-19 because Covid-19 is kinda like the flu and Trump is a healthy beast of a man, dontcha know.
Additionally, Trump made sure everyone knew he (supposedly) took two very specific drugs as soon as he was admitted, even though they aren't normally given upon admission (or at all, in his condition). Not surprisingly, Trump did have Regeneron and Gilead (the companies who own the drugs) on his past financial disclosure form(s), though they have both disappeared from his most recent one. That certainly does not mean he has divested from the companies, as we all know he didn't give up anything when he was supposed to step away from his businesses 2016, so why would he give up anything now.
People are all like, "It's got to be true because they took him to the hospital!"
But I think it'd actually be easier to lie about his health with him tucked away at Walter Reed than if he were at the WH. The WH has proven to be an absolute SIEVE as far as secrets go.
And even so, the medical reports coming from Walter Reed have been... weird and inconsistent. Signed by different docs, misspellings, wrong timelines, etc. Conley has had to come back and admit that it "wasn't necessarily true" that he was hiding information, he was just trying to "reflect an upbeat attitude." (Ugh. They are so bad at this. You just want to pat his cheek and tell him to stop taking.)
Nothing about this Administration is EVER on the up & up. Ever. Gawd, it's exhausting.
Let's just elect trusty ol' Joe so we can get a decent night's sleep and wake up in the mornings not wondering what shit our POTUS was Tweeting at 2am.

The Secret Service heavies will all have to self isolate for 14 days, the vehicle will have to be deep cleaned. What a waste of everyone’s time and money.

If he's not faking Covid-19, then it's the exact opposite; he's so seriously ill that the WH is in Dave mode. (And they'll not hesitate to move into Weekend at Bernie's mode if they need to.) No matter what goes down, we're not going to get the straight scoop about it.

If they do then he is literally an UNIQUE Covid patient.... how convenient for him

Trump...the dumbest fuck in all the land...
Despite Risks To Others, Trump Leaves Hospital Suite To Greet Supporters
"I learned a lot about COVID. I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school. This isn't the, 'let's read the book' school," he said.
Trump has been briefed extensively about the pandemic by members of his White House coronavirus task force and other advisers.
"I get it, and I understand it, and it's a very interesting thing I'm going to be letting you know about it," Trump said.
Some experts swiftly characterized Trump's drive-by greeting as reckless.
Dr. James Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed who is also chief of disaster medicine at George Washington University, lambasted the move as being made for "political theater."
"That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of COVID-19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play," he wrote on Twitter.”

Contact tracing only applies to the unimportant. Certainly not to the GOP elite COVID deniers. Yeesh. Also, this demographic is more likely than others to refuse to talk to contact tracers, so there’s that. I’m newly intrigued by this idea that as commander in chief the president can command even doctors. I read a NYT article yesterday where they interviewed docs who described (regular civilian) docs who give in to VIPs and let them order them around. The concern was that Trump is demanding this cocktail of Covid drugs - a throw everything at the wall approach whether it’s appropriate or contraindicated - and his doc is giving in. We already know Trump’s doc was trying to please him when he gave a much-rosier-than-true statement; who knows how else he’s trying to please him. (The last Trump doc certainly got a career boost post-stint.) But I never considered the idea of military chain of command. Yikes. If a president, or general/admiral, can steer treatment simply because of rank, that’s astonishing. I am equal parts fascinated and disgusted.
