They're not giving the full story, same with Johnson. Understandably btw.

"It is unusual for a patient to be taken to the hospital with mild Covid-19 symptoms, doctors told STAT".

But the president is not the usual patient.

Because its the office of the president  makes it all the more precautionary ! The poster said the MD didn't make a official statement that's not true!

well, how did the WH turn into a cluster? 

A total of six people who attended the Rose Garden event last Saturday, now have been confirmed positive for Covid-19. Includes Trump, his wife, Hope Hicks and Kellyanne Conway. The media had highlighted the lack of masks and social distancing at that event previously.

And Kellyane Conway tests positive.

 

Trump world is imploding.

 But consider the timing here. Trump just can't help himself. What a showman! He will ace the sympathy vote. Furthermore, if as a virile dude jacked up on HCQ and zinc(for which he was mauled by the haters) he beats covid with no sweat, will it be enough to persuade the left to come out from under their beds and get on with life? An incredible show. Go Donald Trump, let's beat this thing and heal the world.

The free world doesn't give a hoot, the sooner he is gone (as a president) the better for anyone outside the USA. He doesn't tweet anymore, so that is a good start.

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.

And the fact that he has been giveen an experimental drug that has not been cleared for public use.

[spidermike007]

I have been saying Trump has some significant health issues for the past couple of months. He has slowed down alot, walks like a near invalid, is always holding onto whatever he can find to keep himself propped up, and is even less articulate than usual, if that is possible.

 

Any now Covid? With his 300lbs., his cheeseburger diet, his age, and his state of mind this may not bode well for him. 

 

At a minimum, this might be a wake up call for his devotees, to exercise more caution and less machismo.

I believe they have to be physically present to vote. Pelosi introduced legislation to allow just that, Republican Senate shut it down. Ohhhhhh shucka ducky!

That article is from May. The House passed legislation for virtual voting. Guess who stopped it?

And since then the trade deficit with China has increased.

Not only that.  "A September 2019 study by Moody’s Analytics found that the trade war had already cost the U.S. economy nearly 300,000 jobs and an estimated 0.3% of real GDP. Other studies put the cost to U.S. GDP at about 0.7%. A 2019 report from Bloomberg Economics estimated that the trade war would cost the U.S. economy $316 billion by the end of 2020, while more recent research from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and Columbia University found that U.S. companies lost at least $1.7 trillion in the price of their stocks as a result of U.S. tariffs imposed on imports from China".

That implies that all or most liberals are atheists which is simply not true.

Let's not forget, this isn't the first tiny threat to humanity that Trump has invited to the White House.

Get well soon? Of course....our survival depends on you? Nobody has been more of an enabler of Covid 19 than Donald Trump and his narcissistic ignorance and defiance of science. He is the #1 cautionary tale now of why everybody should listen to the doctors and scientists and not the politicians.

 

The free world is holding it's breath? No, the free world can not actually breathe because of this man's stubborn inept attitude toward the pandemic. Wish him well and hope for a quick full recovery but DO NOT glorify his WILLFUL ignorance and stupidity.

Because he didn't do it.  A replacement would be the task of congress, not a sharpie signature on an executive order.  Doesn't work that way.

 It's a brilliant move by Trump, The attention will all be on him, while the criticism will be more subdued for the sake of decorum.  After the recovery the Dems won't have time to pick up momentum. 2020 is in the bag,

According to his senior advisers, this is a disaster.  He for sure didn't want this.  The only way you won't see criticism is by watching Faux News where they are just bashing dems, libs, lefties, BLM, etc, etc, etc.  Rather than focusing on how serious this is.

 

Trump's toast.  Just wait.  Half his inner circle is now infected.  And remember, the test they use, is only 66% accurate.

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