Trump moved to military hospital after COVID-19 diagnosis

[Jingthing]

Latest report is that the current president is having difficulty breathing. While a common symptom of Covid-19 that is not encouraging news for a man of his age and physical condition.

That's just a television show. Oh wait - that's what 45 bases his reality on!

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

Oh HELL no! If he survives, he will only proclaim he's the master of the virus! He is a narcissistic sociopath. HE is actually a human virus, invading a large malleable, ignorant populace with no moral compass, looking for a leader to point them in any direction that satisfies their need to hate people not like them.

I have to agree. The chances of him magically transforming into a good human being are nil. It's always all about him and it will be the same for as long as he lives.

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.  

Trump likes owning properties where he can charge inflated prices. Oh wait, that's American hospitals too. Although he'd probably bitch about how much he had to pay the medical staff. They wouldn't be as easy to dud as building contractors, and they have scalpels and drugs.

Jeepers. The arrogance.

 

I wonder why he was moved to a military hospital? To make room for the citizens who are infected without closing the hospital down?

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.

The Left:  Trump bad, Biden good.  The Right bad, the Left good.
The Right: Biden bad, Trump good.  The Left bad, the Right good.

Independent: You are all patently insane.
As a fellow human being: Get well soon President Trump and First Lady.

It's all theater. If he actually has it, he will use it to his advantage. If it's a ploy, it is a good one.

Brilliant can be be used as advantageous rather than only intentional. 

A bit pathetic if it is a ploy.  The most powerful president in the history of whatever has to stoop to pretending to be ill with a potentially deadly disease to improve his chance of re-election.  And you wonder why everybody keeps complaining about the number of lies he tells.

If trump had had an ounce of empathy and decency in him I would agree but he hasn't, so won't get some from me.

You reap what you sow, simple as that.

Get well soon.

 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.

Sympathy vote?! Mate, there’s more than enough people who wish he dies from it! Trust me!

There would definitely be much more sympathy if hadn't acted as the lying Covidiot in Chief since the start of the pandemic.

Now who is delusional? The four presidents leading up to Trump were all psychopathic narcissists with a massive death toll, the war on terror killed millions and increased terror 6000%

What a president should be is not what you will ever get, but at least Trump has pumped the brakes a little on war mongering.

I guess the killing of the Iranian general was breakfailure.

Getting better and better, the news that is. (Proof that dreams sometimes do come true. Been wondering why I have been sleeping much more soundly starting 1st of October...)

New York Times live update:

 

Quote

 

President Trump was hospitalized on Friday evening less than 24 hours after announcing that he had the coronavirus. Aides said Mr. Trump was experiencing coughing, congestion and fever, symptoms that worsened through the day.

...

But the normally voluble president remained almost entirely out of public view, skipped a telephone call with governors at the last minute and uncharacteristically stayed off Twitter nearly all day while people close to the situation said his fever and other symptoms worsened as the hours wore on.

...

The doctor later noted that the president had also started taking remdesivir, an experimental drug that has received emergency use approval from the Food and Drug Administration to treat hospitalized Covid-19 patients.

Bill Stepien, President Trump’s campaign manager, tested positive for the coronavirus on Friday, a person briefed on the matter said, making him the latest senior aide to the president to receive such a diagnosis in the past few days.
 

Mr. Stepien is experiencing mild symptoms and is in isolation, the person said. His diagnosis was first reported by Politico, and confirmed to The Times.
 

Mr. Stepien was with Mr. Trump at the presidential debate in Cleveland on Tuesday, but it was unclear when he was last with the president. However, he was in closed-door preparation sessions with Mr. Trump and a half-dozen other aides and advisers on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

Washington Post has this chart of Trump's recent contacts, and a color-coded rendering of their positive / negative / unknown testing status. The orange color circles mean tested positive thus far.

Yeah, but either way, absolutely no sympathy from me! As a matter of fact, well, actually I can’t post that here... read between the lines!

Please keep your remarks civil.  Whether you like the President or not, his illness has consequences for the US government in general and a number of high ranking officials in particular.  

 

Perhaps a lot of people will be able to learn from this situation.  

 

In the meantime, please refrain from using inflammatory language.
