Etrurian emperor Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 7 hours ago, Dai said: And that’s if he actually has an infection. He could still very well be faking it. Nonetheless, it’s ridiculous. They’ve got him on dexamethasone, now. I’ve heard it’s got some bad side effects, mental in particular. I don't think that's likely. Its true Trump getting corona distracts from his numerous blunders but it also forces the narrative to be about corona which is what Trump doesn't want. Corona is a policy aspect Trump has always been weak on. He'd rather talk about other things like ''law and order'' or the economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I dunno what happened, but it looks like he got his phone back. He’s been tweeting incessantly for a half hour. Edit: And, as usual, nothing of substance, or truth. Edited October 5, 2020 by Dai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indigoasis Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If what the others are saying about dexamethasone having mental consequences is true, then yeah, he probably would feel pretty invincible, especially since he beat a virus that others couldn't. Wait, has he already recovered? Or are we still in the dark on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excellen Browning Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It's anyone's guess. The default position of the trump white house is to lie about or downplay everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoblongoo Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) We don't even know how long he had it tbh. Its likely he knew he was positive several days before the official announcement on Friday. Tried to hide it. And then only made the public disclosure on Friday when his symptoms became so severe that he had to be hospitalized for treatment. (from what little we know about how his symptoms progressed and how often he tests himself, I'd say its almost certain that he knew but didn't say anything earlier in the week) Edited October 5, 2020 by Shoblongoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Branniglenn Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) In case anybody's impressed by the president's recovery and wants in on that medicare White House staff are being told you're not allowed in our state of the art facility that exists in your place of work. Also, regarding questions being raised about Trump's last negative test the previous week, I can totally believe he'd skimp on protocol to test every day, and that's why they don't have daily results to provide. Folks with thin skin tend to hate needles. Edited October 5, 2020 by Glennstavos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoblongoo Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) People couldn't even be in the same room as dying family members to say goodbye, to avoid risk of further vectors of infection and community spread. Trump made his motorcade drive around Walter Reed for a photo-op with exposed agents and staff crowded in with him while he was symptomatic. Because he was bored and wanted to wave to his supporters. (i.e. this is just peak narcissist behavior. He can't even pretend like he cares about anyone but himself, or expend the slightest modicum of effort to avoid knowingly risking the health of his staff) Edited October 5, 2020 by Shoblongoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoblongoo Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) Well here's some good news. Between the NYT expose on his taxes, 90 uninterrupted minutes of acting like a crackhead at the first debate, and the COVID outbreak running through Trump's inner circle while they continue to downplay it: the bottoms falling out from Trump's poll numbers in the last leg of the race. Biden's expanding his lead in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. He's pulling ahead in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina. And all the new polls coming out now after Trump's hospitalization have Biden up nationally somewhere in the range of +8% to +16% (i.e. his biggest lead of the race so far, and landslide numbers if that holds up) ____ Fingers crossed thats how it is, and voters are done with this clown.

Rukina Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 If Trump was wise he’d be resting and stay at Walter Reed until Covid 19 and the infamous cytokine storm often triggered by it passed. The fight isn’t over yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) In Trump's family, there is the strange notion that being sick is seen as weakness, or a moral failing of some kind. I believe that he forced the doctors that were treating him to release him prematurely instead of remaining in care for longer. Trump may do well to remember that his grandfather passed from Spanish Flu back in 1918. "Good genes" don't prevent you from sickness that doesn't discriminate.

Would sound good, but even if turnout is record-shattering high, always prepare for the possibility that it might not matter. They're doing everything possible to undermine the results. Everything.
