The president dictated a statement to Giuliani:

“You go tell people I’m watching this coverage [reporting he’s taken a turn for the worse].

“I feel I could get out of here right now. But they’re telling me there can always be a backstep with this disease. But I feel I could go out and do a rally.

“I am the president of the United States. I can’t lock myself in a room. … I had to confront [the virus] so the American people stopped being afraid of it so we could deal with it responsibly.

“We have made tremendous progress on treating this disease. Fatality rates are very low compared to [the beginning].

“I’m going to beat this.

“Then I will be able to show people we can deal with this disease responsibly, but we shouldn’t be afraid of it.

“If I had handled it any other way, I would have created more panic, more fear in the American people.

“We are making great progress on dealing with this disease and making better progress with the economy than anyone had the right to expect.”

Those quotes sound exactly like words. Donald Trump has words. The best words. That's why I believe those are his words.

Don't know if anyone covered this yet, around here, but while Donald Trump is in the hospital and since everyone around him are now testing pos, has Donald Trump once tweeted to his administration staff, or to his base, or to ANYONE a simple note of "I'm sorry" ??? Sorry America, for downplaying the virus. Sorry America, for not wearing the mask. Sorry America, for not only setting a bad example but for setting a deadly example? And Sorry America, that I have failed you completely as a president and a leader and with keeping you safe. While Donald Trump "could" be on his death bed, would it hurt Donald Trump to at least say..... I'M SORRY?
Hell No! They are blaming China. His daughter has already said it's China's fault her dad got it, and you know darn well he will say the same thing as soon as he stops getting sympathy support.

There is a huge difference between "passing on their sickness" and "willfully endangering others by passing on their sickness".

Do you think that someone that test positive COVID and not following quarantine guidelines and going to work at McDonalds and serving your big mac with a side of virus, should get a free pass?

Someone who goes to work at McDonald's despite being sick probably does so becuase they have no other way to pay the rent. That would be a failure of the wider system, not just down to the individual worker. So, no, I wouldn't prosecute someone like that. That's actually a less clear-cut case than the President.





So, what if:

Biden tests positive over the next few days.

Both Biden and Trump die of the virus before (or after) the election.

What happens?

Alternatively, what happens if Trump and Biden survive but the American electorate don't, eh?

Do they toss a coin to see who gets to rule over the ashes?

Have you noticed in the video from him leaving for the hospital, or the last from the hospital, he isn't nearly as orange. Is he pale because he is sick, or just the absence of his tangerine spray tan.
Melania probably grabbed it before he could have it packed up in his man baby carry bag.

When he recovers from this, the rest of the campaign will be full onset covid19, how he beat it and the experimental wonder drugs he pioneered himself cures everything, Trump the hero.... Watch this space.

The Ministry of Truth has issued these photos of Loser Donald “working” in his hospital suite - in which he is wearing the same suit he had on yesterday, at two different desks in two different rooms but with the same binders in front of him, one in which he is clearly doodling his own name in sharpie on a blank piece of paper.

*Shakes head* - Boy this administration sure loves it's smoke and mirrors propaganda. No wonder anyone who is not a cult member doesn't take them seriously.

Chris Christie must be terrified. And he should sue trump and sue Trump’s staff and sue Trump’s medical experts, especially if Christie dies. But technically the death rate is extremely low. So I expect everyone will survive and also considering they all will get the best care and best experiential care possible which few others have no access to. Just imagine a loved one in the icu hanging on with Covid and the family asks CANT WE TRY THIS OR TRY THAT, and the doctors reply NO WE CANNOT, NOT APPROVED FOR GENERAL USE. Or, WE HAVE NO ACCESS TO THAT DRUG, who do you think you are... the president?

The troubling and frustrating bit is that we just don't have any useful information aside from 'sources', as posted below. This is kind of like when Regan was shot. It was worse than the public knew. His recovery was slow, and that was kept from the public. Somehow, this White House can't keep a secret without telling a direct lie or obfuscating the truth in bizarrely obvious ways. On the plus side for Trump, treatment knowledge and options exist that weren't available to his friend Stan. I'm not surprised that he needed oxygen, given that he already has asthma. I need to use an inhaler when I get a chest infection. Anyway, the facts will come out eventually, it's just unsettling not knowing the health status of our President (even though I find him offensive).


I think he took a bad turn on Friday that spooked his docs and himself so they shipped him off to Reed for treatment and access to a full hospital. He may have improved since but given the fog of lies and bullshittery he's created it's almost impossible to know. I like that he's pissed off with all the speculation about his health that his own actions have created. That he has to post proof of life videos and photos that are obviously staged is both a sign that he's handled the information flow very poorly and that he's likely sicker than he wants to let on (even if it's not a severe case at this time).

P.S. Gabe Sherman is pretty unreliable IMO. That infections are being found in other WH staff is being reported by multiple outlets so I'll take that as fact. They were extremely reckless so this could go on for a week or more.

Unequal access to care and medications is a consideration people should take into account when voting this November potentially for people who said we the public should take risks that would benefit them politically.

For the Trump will turn this to his advantage crowd the early results are not what I would call encouraging.

Oct 2-3 poll where Biden leads by 10 points:

Most Americans continue to be deeply worried about the virus, and the poll found that 65%, including 9 in 10 registered Democrats and 5 in 10 registered Republicans, agreed that “if President Trump had taken coronavirus more seriously, he probably would not have been infected.”

Only 34% said they thought that Trump has been telling them the truth about the coronavirus, while 55% said that he was not and 11% were unsure.

Of those polled, 57% of Americans said they disapproved of Trump’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic overall, up about 3 points from a poll that ran late last week.

Americans also appear to be largely supportive of curtailing the 2020 presidential race to ensure everyone’s safety.


Sixty-seven percent of Americans want to stop in-person campaign rallies and 59% think the presidential debates should be postponed until Trump recovers from the coronavirus.

So now that Trump has admitted he and his wife got infected, where does that leave all of those supporters of his who have been told by him and believed in him that masking up is not needed...

Trump carries a mask in his pocket. It did not protect him. Masks are useless. #GOP

When you carry it in your pocket it doesn't protect you. Having got that out of the way I suggest you look up what wearing a mask actually does and stop displaying your ignorance.

Why has everyone suddenly lost their ability to recognise jokes?
Is this an hitherto unrecognised symptom of the virus?

If it was a joke then I didn't recognize it. More likely due to just perusing the FNS FB page. You should read it sometime.

No chance. Conceivable in his dying semi-breath, but even then, highly unlikely. Best you can expect from him in that moment is a thumbs-up and one final whimper.

I don't know why you say that, the last time a physician looked at him he grew half an inch so he wouldn't be classified obese.

As we all know everybody grows taller as they get over the age of 40. And bone spurs cure themselves.
Actually that inch was added so he won't be officially "morbidly obese" is what I heard.
