Failure to acknowledge the fact that he would likely be morbidly ill over the next few weeks but for the intervention of as yet unapproved but rather effective treatments that you and I will not get if we get sick this week. The hubris and hypocrisy of this so called man has no limits.lol
‘I’m going to beat this,’ Trump tells Rudy Giuliani of COVID-19 during phone call
President Donald Trump phoned Rudy Giuliani from his hospital bed Saturday afternoon to declare he feels so healthy, “I could get out of here right now.” The former Big Apple mayor said his f…nypost.com
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.”
I highly doubt Trump has ever said, "I'm sorry" at any time in his life.
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.
Stupid is as stupid does. Wear your mask, social distance, wash your hands.Repugs are arguing that if Trump can get this, no one is safe no matter how much you lock things down. Therefore, we should just open everything up. Essentially, they are saying that if you can't make yourself 100% safe, there is no reason to try to make yourself safER.
No, I'm not kidding.
Does a falling tree in the forest make a noise if no one is around?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?
Sounded more like joking than hyperbole, to me.
TBH, I think it was reckless to accept a job at the WH during this administration. And since March, anybody who decided to wear a mask when most others around them didn't was made to fear for their job. Bank on it.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.
When the doctor said 72 hours, he may have either slipped and accidentally told the truth or he may just have gotten the number of hours wrong.
My better judgment is that he's lying now to cover for his boss. His boss only hires the best liars.
I'm 99.9% positive he was being sarcastic, mate.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.
FNS FB page? Dunno what that is TBH. Shouldn't be so testy, you missed the sarcasm. You are allowed to be bent, we get bent. Jackalas is not an ass.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.
And apparently a second doctor, Dr. Brian Garibaldi, also got the number of hours wrong when he said Trump was treated with an experimental antibody therapy "about 48 hours ago," which would have been midday Thursday.
But Dr. Conley seemed not to know what he said and what he didn't say as he took credit for his own words as well as Dr. Garibaldi's statement AND walked BOTH of them back.
It's a real shame when people backtrack so often that you can't believe anything that's said.
Trump's doctor walks backs comments on timing of President's Covid-19 diagnosis and treatment
Doctors treating President Donald Trump for Covid-19 created confusion on Saturday with remarks during a briefing that appeared to shift the timeline of Trump's positive coronavirus test and treatment. Trump's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, released a statement afterward to try to clarify the comments.www.cnn.com
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?
That Doctor Garibaldi takes the biscuit.
Edit - goddamit, seems like that joke doesn't work in America, as you neither have the phrase 'takes the biscuit' nor call Garibaldi biscuits 'garibaldi biscuits'. Double fail!
I wonder what SNL did for their first new show tonight in light of Trump getting infected.
Hey, it's breakfast time here. I'll take the biscuits!no, no it doesn't.

No, that was a great great zinger! I dug Rock's opening monologue, I think he wrote it and much of it was him just speaking his mind, albeit not abandoning his comic persona in doing so. I agree strongly with the things he put forth, one thing sticking in my mind was his saying we need a shakeup in America, this thing with handing some cracker a firm 4 year contract to rule over the executive branch of the government is just bonkers. What other advanced democracy does that?Host Chris Rock said "President Trump is in the hospital due to COVID, and my heart goes out to COVID."
I feel bad that I laughed. Or maybe not so much.
He only said the next few days are critical because the doctors hammered this into his head. He parroted what was said to him, which he does at times. However, he doesn't have a level head and loves to spin shit for his shit-headed base, plus it gets him off the hook of having to know WTF he's talking about, something he's never been good at.Trump saying he felt good enough that he could have attended a rally on Saturday actually gives me reason for pause (and not just because Trump lies often). With COVID-19, that's usually a sign you're about to get a relapse, and it can hit hard. Trump was right (for once) in that the next few days could be the most important, but he's getting ahead of himself. And there have been some cases where a person hung on for weeks only to succumb.
Makes sense in the colonies.That Doctor Garibaldi takes the biscuit.

What an art. Takes skill to make cookies look this perfect.no, no it doesn't.

These fucking morons have no idea what leading by example is.This is how deeply the BS is ingrained.
After the President, the first lady and so many others have tested positive for covid after failing to wear masks, a senior advisor to the Trump campaign says that "Joe Biden uses face masks as a 'prop'...(Wearing a) mask is very important, but even if he's -- he could be 20, 30 feet away from the nearest person and still have the mask on." That, even after being shown photos of recent Trump events where supporters are largely maskless and standing within six feet of one another in clear violations of federal health guidelines..., "Trump's team takes health guidelines meant to curb the spread of the deadly disease 'very seriously.'"
Take a position and stick to it, double down on it, even after the facts show how incredibly stupid it has been and how incredibly bad the results have been. Continue to point at the side that is fine and claim they are wrong.
