Yup. It's a sorry state of affairs when you have doubts about something like this.Originally Posted by Ziggy Stardust
I had it with Johnson at the time. Not sure I do now but at the time I remember thinking I wouldn't put it past Johnson and Cummings to do something like this for political gain.
Would this lead to political gain though? There is the sympathy factor, but I would expect this only points out how irresponsible he behaved, and if he gets really sick as Johnson did, undermine all his comments he made.
Then again I expected a lot of things differently when it comes to Trump and how people think about him and vote..
Keep on keepin' the beat alive!
Best theory for why he might do this: it would give him an excuse to cry off the other debates. Not sure timeline tracks for the third debate, but still.

Not sure if he could fake it or not. But if he could, he would, and he would then say "see, I got it and nothing happened! Democrat hoax!"

He just needs to inject some bleach and he'll be fine.
He could also put a UV lamp up his derriere just to be safe.
Not to mention an opportunity to "prove" that he was right about the hydroxychloroquine thing he used to tweet about a few months back.

Which is exactly what he's going to do if it's real and he gets through with only mild symptoms (the most likely scenario for most infected already). And he'll believe it himself 100%, since with narcissists like him it's only their own experience which matters.

Kudlow's super power is to be wrong about literally everything so the WH should probably stop him from saying stuff like this
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
But with his preexisting condition this could ultimately be lethal.

Being taken to Walter Reed hospital in Marine One for "precautionary tests". Heard that one before but it may actually be an abundance of precaution.
It took a week for Boris to go from symptomatic in Downing Street to hospital, then 24 hours to go from hospital to ICU.
BBC implying this is serious - there's a fully equiped medical centre in the White House.
Betfair have suspended their Next President market.
The complete absence of Trump Tweets seems ... odd.

Bit late that you f*cking idiots.
Look at that body language.
Since your post, Trump's taken a high dose of experimental drugs and now he's hospitalized. I wouldn't put it past him to still try to brush it off as no worse than a mild flu, but there's plenty of ammo to refute him now.
Yeah, as I just said, his preexisting psychological deficit means this is potentially very dangerous for the rest of us. . . oh. You mean for him. Being, this is 2020. The year that won't stop fucking with us. He'll probably recover and insist on nuking China for their act of biological warfare.
That at least is proof that it's not something he's trying to fake for a sympathy bump. You can't pry his phone and his thumbs apart if he's in any semblance of good health.

Trump mocking Biden for 'face nappies' doesn't look so smart right now.
Kellyanne Conway also positive now. Funny how as my last post said now she's finally wearing a mask. What a wakeup call for these idiots.

Evasive and seemingly contradictory answers from Trump's medical team is really making this worse than it needs to be. Two most interesting possibilities are that Trump may have—knowingly!!—been infected longer than they'd let on, and that he might be considerably more ill than they're letting on. I can see them talking themselves into administering the treatments they announced at first under an "it probably won't hurt as much as it might help" rationale—inappropriate overtreatment of VIPs isn't uncommon, esp. in the US—but the news that he was given dexamethasone makes the narrative of him being in an early stage of illness—and only mildly ill—seem less plausible. If I were Trump, I would do my utmost to ensure nobody got any whiff of anything that might want people to invoke the 25th amendment—and, tbh, so would I if I were Pence

That motorcade journey while he's still ill and infectious is the absolute height of irresponsibility.
He did a photoshoot with blank papers, inside a hospital, with zero PPE. This is a reality TV presidency at its peak.

No matter how hard you try, you can't make the world not see how fucking dumb American conservatives are.
"One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."
What does that say about the rest of the political establishment?

With any luck the roids will wear off and the dumbass will collapse during his next debate/public appearance.
