pegman Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Kudlow says Trump was doing fine and working as usual this afternoon. Just before he was rushed by helicopter to the hospital. That should tell us that he is in real trouble. There is no bigger liar in politics than Larry. Does anyone know if Covid "expert" Doc Atlas is attending Trump?

If he thinks he can get some play out of it, he would have no qualms about doing so.. Erase a historic sleaze bully fest of a presidential debate that played badly and did not help him in polls, scuttle the next one. Why not tweet a positive. Defeat the virus, or asymptomatic and he will have his supporters howling and he can proclaim himself UberTrump. Take a ton of hydroxychloroquine or whatever snake oil the Republicans are touting as a miracle cure. it's all a win win if you are sinking in the polls. What do you really have to lose. Trump is also known to think very short term so lets see how it plays. He can always say fake positive tomorrow. Well, I don't know about your first sentence and I don't want to debate that but certainly politicians have have played the 'fake' game for gain since ancient times. Am I not correct in saying that it's similar to 'never let a crisis go to waste'? I mean, there could various methods and interpretation on this and Pres. Trump wouldn't be the first to use it (if he is) nor. I suspect. the last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the way he has behaved it was predictable. The only real shock should be the timing. Logically this was more a matter of when rather than if. This is so. I am not American but my politics do veer slightly to the Right but that's based on Party Policies and not personal characteristics of the candidates. Certainly, Pres. Trump can be criticised for a personal apparent lack of consideration for Nature but I feel sure he knew the risks. Nature is something we have to live with and we must use preventative measures, if available, as protection. Some posters on the thread seem to be glad that Pres. Trump has contracted a potentially dangerous, certainly contagious, virus and such comments are tantamount to condoning the spreading of the same and shows a lack of personal esteem and integrity. I do not like to see anyone suffer diseases no matter what their personal inclinations are. It's rather like the Thai road 'carnage'. I, like many TV members, have criticised the driving but I have never been glad that a driver has died as a result of inconsiderate driving. Just a feeling sadness and that it could have prevented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted October 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 I don't wish ill upon Mr and Mrs Trump. I hope that they come through the disease with no long term effects. I am mindful however of two things. He has a record (as the previous post shows) of mocking the ill, and scoffing at the risks from Covid 19 and the precautions taken against it. That cannot help but raise a chuckle. He will receive the very best medical treatment the United States can give, money will be no problem. His administration is actively engaged in dismantling the initiative put in place by his predecessor which provides medical care for the poorer in the society he presides over. For them, if they need treatment, money will be a problem - they will simply go untreated. I hope he ponders on that whilst he is laid up. I very much doubt that it will even cross his mind. I hope he recovers. I hope he is decisively rejected at the imminent election. He is an abominal individual, I detest him and the creed of political narcissism he has created, what he has done to the United States of America, and by (inevitable) extension the world. But I don't wish him dead, only out of office. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that is an exaggeration, but I understand it. When somebody spends years alienating millions of people and countless countries this type of response is inevitable. I note that in the 30 odd pages of this forum so far very few Trump supporters have had anything to say. Their silence in fact speaks volumes. Personally I had thousands of reasons to loathe the man well before Covid. Immediately after the election I was neutral to the man. His behavior changed that within weeks and has only deepened since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really cared for his manner or approach but then in no way am I a business-minded person. Perhaps that's what it takes, I don't know. Certainly, in recent videos, on a personal level, he appears to be an arrogant individual which I find distasteful but then again there are actors that off screen personally likewise distasteful but admire on screen acting.
