he has had 2 oxygen incidents, one yesterday and he is on steroids now which implies heavy inflammation of the lungs

Trumps furious at his chief of staff for saying his vitals were concerning . So that must be true then? :shrug:

Trump's chief of staff Mark Meadows reportedly infuriated his boss by telling reporters that his 'vitals are very concerning'

trump is dictating what the doctor can talk about ... so people have to look at what is not being said. It's clear there is a problem with his lungs, and he wont be discharged tomorrow under a doctors approval

I would infer that things were very serious a couple of days ago but that he is showing signs of recovering now. Being hit hard and early by Covid in the first week of having it is quite normal, it's a bit different to Boris who wasn't as ill at the start but just wasn't able to shake it and if the virus still has a strong hold of you after 10 days that's when you're really in trouble like he was

i think the problem is that they are obfuscating the stage that trump is at in the timeline. By any reasonable definition, the supposed point of his infection puts him early in the timeline where he may actually be 10 days in .... we don't know ... and no-one can deny that the doctors are not telling the whole story

Glad he's feeling well enough to sign a blank piece of paper. :blush:

...I’m still quite suspicious about this...there was no visible sign of illness or fatigue when he spoke and said that he’d now learned all about the COVID, that now he understood first hand and he’d be telling his COVID tale soon...it all felt very PR and very contrived and convenient...I just don’t know with this...and are we going to hear anything about Melania, then...did he mention how his wife was doing with the virus....hmmmmm....


...anyways he’s lying, as always he’s liar, liar, pants on fire...he’s learned nothing at all about COVID and it’s dangers and the care to be taken around others...



Trump's drive-by during COVID-19 treatment was 'insanity', top doctor says...

https://news.sky.com/story/trump-pay...pital-12090431


...while so much focus has been placed ‘wishing him death or being fine if he didn’t survive etc...’...effectively, it could absolutely be said that he’s wising death or fine with others dying in his carelessness and even helping it along...


...still...?...he’s learned nothing, nothing at all...

Yep he's a liar.

i don't know what to make of it at all. While a doctor may obfuscate the truth at the patients request, they won't outright lie and the medication he has received is for people at a critical phase in the treatment. For example, the steroids are only prescribed if there is serious organ inflammation because it stops anti bodies producing that would halt the virus.

Trump says he now 'understands' the coronavirus but his actions prove otherwise...


If Mr Trump continues to behave so recklessly, it suggests this president and this administration have learned nothing at all....

...complete disregard for human life and yet a regard for his own life is expected...

you have to look at it all through trump vision. He is a narcissist so obviously now he is affected he knows everything about it. It also explains why the health of those around him doesn't matter if it projects him as being a strong leader.

The last few days are very reminiscent of the propaganda pushed out by Russia. There is no credibility whatsoever. Is he faking it ... who knows ... has he experienced organ damage ... who knows ... i think its best just to let it wash over you and see how it turns out in the end

It is a complete disregard for human life.

Even now he's just trying to play the showman.
I really would hope some just playing a game re covid isn't in play here.

I don't doubt he's got it, however I think another side is in play here, where he can present himself as some superhero figure.
Beating this quickly.

I'm still unsure what to think here myself.
He has still in the main dismissed covid, I feel he'll just claim he has beaten this then dismiss it further.
Having not learned a thing from him or his wife getting it either.

you also have to wonder given he is supposed to be released today why he needed to do the drive by .... only trump would do something like this

King of the Covid

I think the whole wrong message has been given by him on it.
Plus I doubt he even cares if it has.

hope he doesn't further spread covid to anyone in that car

I can't see doctors lying on camera if he doesn't have it, additionally so many other people have tested positive from the nomination event

What a ****ing moron, such a terrible example to set to people

Why feel the need to endanger his protection detail by making them sit in close confinement to him in an enclosed space, just so he can massage his ego by waving to the proud boys outside the hospital?

isn't this a bit too soon, i mean if you really got covid, you should stay in hospital (and especially as he is a president, more important than anyone else) between 10-14 days

You can always rely on Trump to fully display how much of a complete **** he is on a regular basis.

Utterly woeful behaviour, if Biden or any democrat did this, the Right Wing would be screaming for retribution non-stop (which would be totally fair, it's ****ing horrific to expose people like that) but because it's Trump, they are all silent as the grave, as usual.

Trump fans play Springsteen’s Born in the USA outside hospital without realising what lyrics mean...

Trump supporters are being sent up for playing Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the USA" outside the hospital the president is staying in.

A small number of Republicans congregated outside Walter Reed Medical Centre where Trump is staying after catching coronavirus. They also played Lee Greenwood song “Proud to be American”.

However, it's the supporters’ choice of Springsteen’s 1984 track that has led to them becoming the source of internet vitriol.

Many are highlighting the fact that "Born in the USA" is far from the patriotic song the title has clearly led them to believe.


The song is widely believed to be a critique of America for marginalising working-class veterans upon their return to the homeland.

Adding to the embarrassment of the blunder is the fact that Walter Reed is a military hospital – not to mention Springsteen’s personal views on Trump.

In June, the musician called the president a “threat to our democracy” and said he “makes any kind of reform that much harder”.

“Do these people know that ‘Born in the USA’ was a protest song not a patriot ballad?” one tweeter asked in response to a video of the president’s fans playing the 1984 track.

“We're well into the fourth decade of the American right wing not listening to the actual lyrics of ‘Born in the USA’,” another wrote.

One person quipped: "I love it when ‘Born In The USA’ is played with unintended irony."

“Apparently, these seven people or so have never read or they don't understand the lyrics,” a commenter added.

Look New York Times fella
you could have caught Covid-19
from loads of people
before you went to meet Trump.

Arista, thats not the point of contact tracing. People in close proximity to an infected person for more than 15 mins should be advised to quarantine and get a test ... and the WH hasn't done it with anyone ...

Not gonna watch it because that dude's voice pisses me off, but yeah the diagnosis really did show the worst in people.

People might automatically disregard that vid because of who it is, you could make the same point by showing what some nutters have said tbh

I don’t recall him having much to say when people spent years wishing death on Obama or Hilary, funny that

trump has confirmed he will leave hospital this evening

Still don't think he was ever sick :idc:.

yeah thats the situation i'm settling on. Particularly his tweet ... don't be afraid of covid ... so disrespectful

this will play well for votes

I'm now falling into that line too.

If he REALLY had this, to the point of hospitalisation he'd have been near terrified of it
Not joyriding around and making extremely dangerous tweets.

He's an insult to all who've lost loved ones to it, or seen loved ones quality of life dramatically changed by it after surviving..

Horrible, horrible individual he is.

what evidence do you have for this slur?

I've lost 4 people to this already.
That's my own evidence.
More than enough for me.

Why not ask TS and bots, don't just always jump on me.

Gotta love how the Right Wing is acting like fragile little snowflakes over people not caring whether Trump lives or dies when they were silent and/or encouraged hatred of the Squad, for example.

They act like life is precious yet the Right Wing has voiced support and provided financial support to Kyle Rittenhouse, a double murderer.

How many prominent politicians don't get online hatred? Has AOC faced a never-ending parade of death wishes? Probably not.

Can you see the difference between questioning whether or not he acted in self-defence, and wishing death upon someone?

All I see is people defending someone who killed two people and then getting precious over people enjoying the thought of Trump dying. The difference between the two is that the little white supremacist murdered two people, hoping someone dies is a lot less worse and less deadly. I just wished the White Supremacist wished people dead instead of actually killing them.

Also, AOC is a female POC left wing politician that regularly runs rings around republicans, she definitely gets death threats. A death threat is something more serious than a wish. Hoping someone dies, regardless of morality is just a hope. Telling someone you're going to kill them is a threat.

I just can't get precious over a wish, I know there's people that wish me dead and I just blow a kiss to them and tell them I'll live to spite them. It's meaningless, really.
