I don't think at this point anything matters. Those who have an IQ can see right through all the bullshit and would never vote for that asshole again even if they did at the last election. Those whose tongues are orange from licking that psycho's ass are too stupid to breathe. They will stick by him even if he pulled out a gun and shot their kids. The election is a done deal. We just have to wait to find out the results.

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?).
I don't know what to believe anymore. And that is exactly how Trump wants it for us. He knows his followers are gullible and will believe any horseshit he puts in front of them. I do know that regardless of his pos/neg status, he is milking this for all he can because he knows he is in deep trouble with votes. So I'm going to hold onto that and view every single thing he does forthcoming as an act of desperation.

.. To state that the protests aren't causing the virus to spread is ignoring science. You don’t get to pick and choose when to follow science, when it’s convenient for you or when it supports your case. In terms of climate change, according to Trump, science really doesn’t know. In terms of wearing masks and holding rallies, even indoors in Oklahoma and Nevada, it’s OK for Trump supporters to gather without masks? But, Democrats and BLM are held to a higher standard?

In terms of wearing masks and holding rallies, even indoors in Oklahoma and Nevada, it’s OK for Trump supporters to gather without masks? If you'll read my original response to this thread on I think page 11, you'll see my stance is not what you're saying it is. You can find it repeated again recently in this same thread. You'll see again, we're on the same page about the mask wearing of this administration.

However, if you’re calling out the BLM protests for not social distancing, where are your posts calling out the administration for the Oklahoma and Nevada rallies? Or any of his other recent rallies? For the Republican National Convention on the White House lawn? For the nomination ceremony in the Rose Garden? For the Trump supporters on the street near Walter Reed?

Trump's little vanity parade: "It's a situation that has prompted growing and more vocal concern. "That should never have happened," one current Secret Service agent who works on the presidential and first family detail said after Trump's drive-by, adding that those agents who went along for the ride would now be required to quarantine. "I mean, I wouldn't want to be around them," the agent said, expressing a view that multiple people at the Secret Service also voiced in the wake of Sunday's appearance. "The frustration with how we're treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before this though. We're not disposable." Another veteran Secret Service agent also expressed deep dismay at the Walter Reed ride, though was sympathetic for those around the President given the difficulty in pushing back on the commander-in-chief. "You can't say no," the agent said. While agents in the Secret Service have the power to say no to activities that could put a president in danger, they can't say no in situations that could put themselves in danger. A third agent told CNN: "It was simply reckless." But another sought to downplay the concern. "I've watched some of the news today and it's ridiculous to say the President is trying to kill off his detail," said another current agent on Sunday. "He's unconventional, but we get the job done.... Dr. Leana Wen, an ER physician and CNN medical analyst, tweeted that if Trump were her patient, "in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others: I'd call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity."" www.cnn.com/2020/10/05/politics/trump-secret-service-trip/index.html

I saw a report that two members of the White House housekeeping staff just tested positive. I am sure they will get the same elite care as the person responsible for the White House outbreak.

he's been reckless and irresponsible all the way along; why should now be any different? I agree- the sooner he leaves, the less I believe he actually *had* COVID. And/or he better stay the fuck away from EVERYONE for at least the next 10-14 days. oh wait, the rules don't apply to him- I forgot.

wonder what would happen if the news media just shrugged and said, "Well alrighty then, must have been okay all along," and didn't show up for his miraculous return to the white house. In fact take their own type of quaranine: for 14 days not attend press conferences, not write about him, just ignore him...

The thing that stands out to me is Trump’s total disregard for anyone one else. Not only for his vanity parade. He has yet to offer any sympathy or acknowledgement to the friends and family of the over 210,000 dead Americans. He ignores it. If I had a loved one who died of COVID-19, I would be pissed as h-e-double toothpicks.
Another thought: When have we ever seen a picture of Trump working? As in sitting behind a desk actually working? (Even staged). Never! I get very angry about those staged photos. It sends the message of “see I have COVID and I can still work.” He wants the masses to just go ahead and work.
Personally, I am back to thinking he never had it and is hoping for the sympathy votes and diversion. I think it was Putin who offered the first foreign statement. It is easy to get people on your staff to pretend they are also sick. Like Melania. If she were diagnosed, why no concern for her? What kind of treatment is she getting? He doesn’t look sick - he just looks like everyone else does when they have no makeup. JMHO. When you never speak the truth and you aren’t transparent, you have a hard time convincing people of the truth and you also take away their decision making capabilities. People can’t make good decisions for themselves and others when the only information you have are lies.

"Don't be afraid of COVID." 😡 Tell my childhood friend who had zero health issues and died in April of it...alone in a hospital room WITHOUT her husband or children allowed to be there. Agonizing. But don't be afraid. It's no big deal everyone.

I am thinking that each of them will be needing larger teams of doctors looking after them than Mr. Trump had. After all, he is much much stronger, the strongest really, than the average person alive today so he only needed light care.

HOW is this safe!? It's going to rile up the masses though. All of the people who are already pissed because the economy, school, public functions, ete. closed down due to the virus.

I just heard on my local station that 3 members tested positive 2 weeks ago. One was a close member of Trump’s detail. Did anyone else hear that?

The thing is, even when he's released from the hospital, the White House has it's own medical center and he will likely be getting treatment there. He could have stayed there the whole time and had the same standard of care, so I think the hospital was for show, but I also don't think he's out of the woods yet.

And the doctor speaking right now seems like a quack. He also keeps reiterating that Trump will be receiving the same care as he is getting at the hospital, not at all like anyone else who is discharged.

The fact that Trump may recover from this, when so many decent and innocent people have not, is further proof to me that there is no god. Miserable fucker.

Press conference—So they still won’t say when he last tested negative. They also won’t say if he really needed to be in the hospital in the first place.
