Messages for sick Trump split between "get well" and "told you so"

[Ebumbu]

The Trump Virus. 

[ballpoint]

Meanwhile, Kellyanne Conway's daughter has her own message:

 

""My mom coughing all around the house after Trump tested positive for COVID,' she wrote on the first video as she lip-synced the lines 'that's weird, that's suspicious'. 

'When my lungs hurt and it's hard for me to breathe,' she wrote on the next, revealing that she was also experiencing coronavirus symptoms....

 ...'I'm furious. Wear your masks. Don't listen to our idiot f*****g president piece of s**t. Protect yourself and those around you,' she added".

 

And, to really rub it in, she issued it on Tiktok.

When most guys his age are safely sheltering at home, his job demands that he constantly travel and mix with a large number of people every day.

His role is partly symbolic and important to the morale of the nation, so, he does not have the option to hide in a basement.

Whatever you may think of him personally, he and his wife caught this virus while doing the job that America asked them to do. They deserve better than the nasty, politically-driven narrative that Trump is personally responsible for the pandemic and that the Democrats would somehow have handled things better.

 

Probably already been answered but if you believe that his job is (partly) to uplift the morale of the nation then he's making a bigger mess of that than anyone since King George III.

Agree about Xi but disagree that 45 will be easy to remove by election. Anyone that has been paying attention would know that he correctly expects to lose but is working hard to use authoritarian dictator tactics to stay in power anyway.

Still, vote him out and then make it clear there are rules in a democracy. It takes effort from the people to keep a democracy working, it's not a given. The people will get the government they deserve.

You obviously missed my point. He almost definitely will be voted out. However, it's much less definite that will translate to him actually being thrown out. Maybe you haven't bothered to watch the news in the last few months.

My point is, if you accept a broken system where a result of an election is not recognized, you could just as well be living in a banana republic like Thailand. It is up to the people to demand their will is respected. Can't just sit down and go meh, too bad. That's what Thais do and that's why you have a de facto military junta driving the country to the ground. 

 

I expect better from Americans.

[candide]

I surely don't wish him to die. I want to see him facing a humiliating defeat.

So, based on his last tax returns, trump should qualify for Obamacare ???

No matter which side you support, Sad and unfortunate day for Americans (and possibly many other nations)  when the President is in this situation...he is after, all the head of state with immense authority for good and bad.

Yes, he's had the power to do immense good. Unfortunately, he's chosen to do immense bad.

I love the part of being American as a risk factor. I hadn't thought about the stress factor. Being so close to a presidential election that you expect to lose that you're worried if you lose means you'll be convicted and imprisoned is an off the charts level of stress. But he's not a normal person. He appears to handle stress well. 

One of the advantages of not having a conscience.

He is not fit for the role and has done nothing but damage to the USA.

Pretty much why there is the electoral college, so that the USA doesn't have tyranny of the masses. New York, New Jersey, California, and Illinois isn't the whole country and shouldn't control the all the other states because of their population.

Yes she probably is because that wasn't very long ago. But scientists don't yet know about longer term immunity from being infected and recovering. 

Yes, and an incubation period of 3 months and 28 days days would be good also.

You may be disappointed. The USA is slipping into the authoritarian country zone and studies have shown once that happens its extremely difficult to get back to democracy.

45 was definitely barking alot at the recent not a debate. Barking like a dog as he might say.

No. Traditional Medicaid for the very poor but he's of Medicare age anyway.

Thoughts and prayers.   Haha.   

Soon this bad time will be over.

Biden has announced that he's pulling all negative Trump ads for 14 days.  Can you imagine what Trump would do if it was Biden who came down with COVID?  Trump would be out there 24/7 viciously attacking Biden for being weak and stupid.  You know this to be true.  Fact is, we only have one candidate running for President who's a decent human being, and it's not Trump. 

We don't need a nice president. Biden should keep on pounding Trump regardless. This is a sign of biden's weakness. I don't want the harris administration to win but I don't approve of biden's softness.

Yes, it's been obvious from the start that you base trump supporters are not big on decency softness. That's one of your many endearing qualities.

Don't lecture on decency. The Trump haters have been drooling and wishing all the worst for Trump. But joe getting easy on Trump is simply a sign of weakness.

a) recovery from covid doesn't guarantee immunity.
b  recovery doesn't mean you no longer carry the virus.
c) recovery doesn't stop you from shredding the virus if you still have it.
I didn't make this up. My main covid source is Laurie Garrett (not CDC nor Fauci, thank God). Google her up.

 

Should I shudder or be rejoiced that the virus will soon come into the inner chamber of SC? Tough call... Sorry, I'm too distracted at how the outside world views America at the moment to consider any moral judgement.

This seems to me like a clever move from Biden. Most of the votes are set in stone - if you love or hate Trump, nothing is going to change your mind.

 

The minority of voters who haven't decided will react well to Biden taking the moral high ground. Attacking a hospitalized Trump would be a grave tactical error that could create sympathy for Trump.

[onthedarkside]

A post using a slur version of Trump's name has been removed.

 

Posting derogatory/altered versions of people's names (including forum members and even politicians) is a suspendable offense.

 

So is public discussion in the forum of moderation.

Well I kind of like Chris Christie and he appears to be very high risk. Not his politics of course.

Not surprisingly Christie has now tested positive.

[Jingthing]

Anonymous statement in the press.

The president is not currently on a clear path to recovery. 

It appears the experimental treatment didn't work because it is meant to prevent any symptoms. 

Possibly he took it too late.

Noise now suggests that the president knew he was positive and still was doing public events.

Politically that could be massive and the people exposed and all American voters need the full facts on the extent of the presidents irresponsibility.

The white house is now considered a hot virus zone.

Needless to say this is a grave situation with national security implications.
