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.

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

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

[Niamh.]

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

[The Slim Reaper]

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?

[Nicky91]

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.

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 ...

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'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.
