That's opposed to the mayor and governor of NY handling the covid situation so perfectly, right?

No, nobody has handled the Covid situation perfectly but pretty much every other official in the country has done a better job than trump by a wide margin.

To be fair, trump hasn't set the bar very high (in fact, it's down in the gutter as usual) by treating the virus outbreak as purely a danger to his reelection chances and not a national emergency.

hope he's ok .....  can't be easy being the president of the united states and having covid at the same time

 

Yeah, the hardship of having a dedicated medical team, presidential suite, helicopter ride to hospital would have taxed a lesser man. Luckily, he can still get Fox and Friends there, so his job of watching it may go on as per usual.

the Meadows guy come outside for a press conference about Trump having the coronavirus..... and yet still not wearing a mask. They try covering up everything, lies after lies, no one knows what to believe as the info is censored before any report, but Trump said he was doing great, if so why is he at the hospital....and they want sympathy

Good move, an abundance of caution.

I agree, and KEEP ON moving... From where he'll be resting "finally"  Trump can look UP - as opposed to looking DOWN - and see the faces of droves of faithful followers offering thoughts and prayers. Much better perspective than standing in front of the world tribunal to explain crime against humanity. If all goes well (wink wink) - in spite of all the havoc it has created on this planet, as an American I am going to ask 46 Biden to grant this virus a pardon.

bunch of hypocrites .... wearing a mask just for the photo op, that one in the middle did a press conference (without a mask) knowing Hicks tested positive without mention of any potential risk of transmission to the news reporters present

Im sure trump supporters will not vote for him as they are not sure he will make it to the end of the year.

The move to a military hospital tends to indicate Trump's condition is more serious than is being released for public consumption.

The virus that was nothing and would disappear has refused to toe the line.

you beat me to it.... sadly enough the lying keeps going at full speed

A little late for caution if you're already infected. ????

That one in the middle has fear in her eyes  I think ! Or embarrassment for trying to pass off Trump's  Supreme Court nominee as a Rhodes  Scholar ?

Poor China!, What is the death toll so far from this war?

There may have been a few suicides among American farmers, because they are having to plow crops under they can't sell. More to the point, it's a war he has lost bigtime. The Chinese aren't giving him squat, and are stoking their internal economy. Australian sales of iron ore to China are going gangbusters.

Putin, Kim and Xi are probably praying he will recover, don't ask me to whom. He's their patsy, the meeting with Putin in Helsinki proved it beyond doubt.

The sheer hubris of these people has been shattered. I wish it had happened a LOT sooner, tens of thousands of lives could have been saved if the administration had just taken it seriously.

Yes.  Maybe now, if he survives, he will finally do something for the poor American people.

[Emdog]

Some Trumpees talking about how admin is keeping us informed. Right. Send radiologist out to talk about he expects complete recovery, for example.

Do not forget the reason WH went public with Trump testing positive was that Bloomberg found out via leak. Who knows how long the cover up might have been?

Trump didn't agree to go to hospital until he was promised he'd be able to watch Fox News. Now his viewing time can go from 6 hours a day to maybe 10? "How am I to know what my policy is without them telling me?" (Bit of joking in this last bit)

[Opl]

Trump recovering would be good news for other people who could then benefit of the same treatment.

If you are looking for a conversion on the road to Damascus, IMO Trump is not your guy. More likely he would boast about how trivial it was.

I'll bet Trump is kicking himself for not owning a hospital.  Think how much money he could have made by checking himself into it and charging the American people for his treatment.

Anyone care to help me here. I have a DVD of a 1951 movie that includes the Walter Reed Hospital (in a military context). I have made a brief online search and it seems that the Naval title was still in use in 1963. Are there two Walter Reed Military Hospitals?

I have zero sympathy for the guy, and if I were him, I would expect billions of people to feel the same as me.  You reap what you sow~keep him going at least until November 4.  Did his loves Kim or Vlad send him notes yet?

“I am certain that your inherent vitality, good spirits and optimism will help you cope with this dangerous virus,” Mr Putin said in the telegram, according to the Interfax news agency."

Vlad sent him a jar of Novichok labelled "Face Whitener, use liberally"

But he can't go golfing, I'm waiting with bated breath for the bad news.....that he is recovering.

Yeah, few poor American people can get tested every day, test anyone they come into contact with, get experimental treatments, and a free helicopter ride to a free hospital stay.  All paid for by us poor taxpayers.  Sucks.
