They are truly a horrible, reprehensible party.  This. This here is the spin. Methinks talking points assignments have gone out. “Donald Trump is brave. He is fighting the virus like no other. He will conquer it because he is [manly, powerful, Republican, a tax genius, flag-loving, self-sufficient, a patriot, AMERICAN]. He’s learned so much about how to fight this and will share with us all. He doesn’t need no stinkin’ books. No elites. [insert curled lip] Nobody does. HE is now the expert. He and God. He will sully forth into Rallyland, undeterred and unBESTED, as.soon.as.possible and teach us all that the number one weapon is Be Not Afraid. Live your lives fully. Look, HE’S already out and about. What a patriot. What a guy. Oh, and, also [sotto voce] , isn’t it just so incredibly puzzling that all these Reupublicans are getting infected and no Democrats?”versus “Joe Biden wears masks too much. THERE’S your ‘Covid theatre’ right there. And he hides. He’s afraid. Weak. Flaccid. He’s controlled by AOC. And he has advanced dementia. [sotto voce] Heartbreaking he’s being allowed to stumble along like this, isn’t it? Oh, and Nancy Pelosi is a bitch. And Hillary lied.”

I will say this and then shut up: Secret Service agents pledge to take a bullet for a president. They don’t pledge to take bullets FROM the president.
Like you all, I was appalled by that spectacle yesterday.
Amazing that I can still be surprised by this grifter.

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. 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. I think that it is hard to conceive of unless you receive treatment in a military treatment facility (MTF). Most of my doctors at Walter Reed all wear their uniform of the day and the same with most of the nurses/assistants. So, I usually have my vitals taken by someone in camouflage (BDUs), and the physician wears either navy khakis or army greens. Same for my kids. My oncologist and my son’s psychiatrist are the two medical personnel that we regularly see at Walter Reed that aren’t military and in that chain of command. I had some very real bad issues with my first plastic surgeon connected to my breast cancer, when I talked about it with my second plastic surgeon, he agreed that the issues were real, but he refused to issue any formal complaint - even in email - because the first plastic surgeon outranked him. I would have to bring my husband in with me - because of his rank when he retired, they took him seriously. (Having to bring in one’s spouse who is in the military to be taken seriously is a common issue/complaint of spouses who seek treatment at MTFs) Needless to say, I am now with a third plastic surgeon, who is also Army, but is a doc that actually listens. The chain of command at Walter Reed is also clear when the residents come in. It is a training/teaching hospital and all the docs-in-training are military. When they are brought in to learn on you, it is clear in the communication with your “real” doc. It is always “sir” or “ma’am” and very deferential. I’ve had 22 years of treatment at MTFs, so I’m used to it and the clear chain of command. But, it was strange at first, since I had never experienced anything like it in my previous 30+ years of going to the doctor. It truly is a world that is different from a civilian hospital setting in many ways - the military chain of command being one of them. It is the nurse/physician division of power on steroids. I have no doubt that Dr. Conley and the other docs treating the President have been issued orders as to what they can communicate and what they can’t. The same with certain situations - such as the bizarro world parade yesterday. And most likely some facets of treatment. |

Well he did claim to know a lot about Covid since “he’s been through it” in his short few days of experience, so by his standards, he’s a genius on the subject so maybe he’s going to appoint himself the head of the CDC!!!

Well, considering this area is so NOT pro asshat, I think it was a pointless thing to do. I think all the pro asshat supporters in Montgomery County were there. That's not saying there were a lot. You would be hard pressed to find anyone in my county who likes him. These people were probably brought in from a neighboring state.

I linked a Bloomberg.com article. No surprise. And disgusting that she continued to hold pressers not wearing a mask even as this all was breaking. |

and the person wearing the mask and waving was a doppelgänger. That crossed my mind too. It is beyond belief and so telling that you/we cannot trust and take at face value ANYthing from or about this man and his administration. I’d have to be paid an awful lot of money to assume wearing that repulsive hairdo, for even a hot minute. |

...and the person wearing the mask and waving was a doppelgänger. This would be my Plan B. 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. Geez, we’ve moved from the “there a tweet for that” phase to the “there’s a movie for this” phase. God help us. |

I wonder what day he's really on...even if he leaves hospital today doesn't mean it's all over and done with necessarily. If he's leaving today, it's one of three possibilities, IMO:
1) He's had it longer than he's admitting and truly is in the home stretch, which means he's been knowingly spreading it around.
2) He's leaving WR while he should still be is isolation, so he's going to go expose a whole new group of people (WH residential staff, military staff, etc.). What a thoughtless, arrogant, criminally negligent thing to do.
3) He never had Covid-19 in the first place, and was in for the same reason he went in for his mysterious visit several months ago (cardiac? neurological?).
