One has to feel for the White House staff: butlers, valets, maids, cooks, cleaning staff, mainenance staff.

Look who thinks that’s a laughing matter.

Nobody with common sense trust a vaccine before it have been trough all stages and official approved. Any dumbass understand pure basics.

Putting aside your unsubstantiated slurs, I think Trump releasing himself from hospital is great news.

 

1. If he says he’s not sick he can’t now expect any sympathy.

 

2. If the opinion that he’s still sick is correct, he’ll be heading back to hospital in the coming days, an event that would further expose his stupidity.

 

I’m very pleased to see him make this move, and as I have said numerous times, I want him to live through his coming electoral humiliation and subsequent imprisonment.

 

Get well Mr President, you’ve got a ‘secure’ future ahead of you.

Your savior Harris is on record saying that she will not trust after any stage.  So is she the dumbass, or should we look more closely at her followers.  LOL.

Agree. Protect the vulnerable, stay home if you want, and get on with it. 

 

If you get sick, you get sick. If you die, you die. That 's life.

She has said that with a credible source giving information on efficiency and reliability she would consider it. Seems like a logical and sensible way of thinking.

When you claim to know something, can you same time provide a valid link where she says she will not take An approved vaccine which have gone trough all phases. Show me, 

 

I will not either take a vaccine before it is tested, approved, used for a surten time, and for sure will not trust any vaccines coming out in the next months. Maybe 2022, but if I am forced to take vaccine to be able to travel, I might do so. Just common sense. 

 

Edit note, Im not American, and I for sure feel with the americans who have not been able to come up with other president candidates than one crazy nut at 74, and one 4 years older. In my eyes a good candidate if he was 60 years.

Biden and Harris never said they would not trust the vaccine.They actually said "They would not trust Trump if he said it was OK to use the vaccine" Like any reasonable sensible person why would you believe a liar and misinformation giver who is on record for over 21000 lies and miss information. Sorry 34% of the population would believe him. The same people who are now wearing masks after ignoring the scientific advice for months.

But the more important question is "Would you take a vaccination without a long and drawn out verification of efficacy and safety".  I wouldn't and I still get the Flu vaccine every year.

Seems like she does not trust the word of Trump, or Medical experts under Trump administration that walk the vaccine thru all phases to work free in interference?  Sounds like she would NOT take it.  ????

 

 

"Asked if she would personally take any vaccine given the green light in the US before the November poll, Harris replied: “I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump and it would have to be a credible source of information that talks about the efficacy and the reliability of whatever he’s talking about. I will not take his word for it.”  "Harris said she expected that medical experts would not be allowed to make decisions on a vaccine without interference from above.""

So? You are actually agreeing with the poster with whom you claim to argue.

 

She does not trust Trump. Added to that is the fact that he only wants to work with people who agree with him or will support his madness.

I don't trust him either. Do you trust in everything he writes?

Do you understand how long time is takes to develop a safe vaccine? About 10 - 15 years, and now we are talking about 12 months, and it doesnt give you just a little heads up how wrong that is. It is pure gambling with peoples health.

Where does Biden tell anyone “to dream about Trump getting the coup de grace.”

 

He’s speaking about the irony of the mess Trump is in, and under this  irony ridden presidency it might be a good idea for Trump’s supporters to try to understand ‘irony’.

UPDATE:

 

'Don't be afraid' of COVID, Trump says as he returns to White House that is stalked by illness

By Steve Holland and Alexandra Alper

 

U.S. President Donald Trump pulls off his protective face mask as he poses atop the Truman Balcony of the White House after returning from being hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) treatment, in Washington, U.S. October 5, 2020. REUTERS/Erin Scott

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump told Americans "to get out there" and not fear COVID-19 as he returned to the White House on Monday after a three-night hospital stay to be treated for the virus and removed his white surgical mask to pose for pictures.

 

Asked how he felt on arrival at the White House, where his staff has been hit by infections and his re-election campaign dogged by the pandemic, Trump said: "Real good," according to a pool report by a journalist covering his return on behalf of other media.

 

Trump wore a mask as he left the helicopter that flew him back from a military hospital outside Washington and climbed the stairs of the White House South Portico, where he removed it and posed for pictures, waving, saluting and giving thumbs-up signs.

 

He then turned to walk into the White House, his mask still in his pocket, TV footage showed.

 

Trump has played down a disease has killed more than 1 million people worldwide and more than 209,000 in the United States alone - the highest death toll of any country.

 

The Republican president, running for re-election against Democrat Joe Biden in the Nov. 3 U.S. election, was admitted to the Walter Reed Medical Center on Friday after being diagnosed with the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.

 

"Don't let it dominate you. Don't be afraid of it," Trump said in a recorded video message. "We're going back, we're going back to work. We're going to be out front. ... Don't let it dominate your lives. Get out there, be careful."

 

Shortly after his return, a video with thunderous orchestral music posted to his Twitter handle showed him arriving at the White House and saluting from the South Portico as Marine One flew off. The video was quickly viewed nearly a million times.

 

Trump has repeatedly flouted social-distancing guidelines meant to curb the virus' spread. He also mocked Biden at last Tuesday's presidential debate for wearing a mask at events, even when he is far from others.

 

'MASKS MATTER'

While it was unclear if Biden had seen Trump's latest video, the Democrat, who leads in national opinion polls, stressed the seriousness of the disease and emphasized the importance of wearing masks.

 

"I would hope the president - having gone through what he went through and I'm glad he seems to be coming along pretty well - would communicate the right lesson to the American people. Masks matter," Biden told an NBC News town hall in Miami.

 

Trump, 74, has not had a fever in more than 72 hours and his oxygen levels are normal, his medical team told reporters at the hospital where he was treated. The doctors declined, however, to discuss any toll the disease could have on the president's lungs or disclose when Trump last tested negative for the coronavirus.

 

The team added that the president had received supplemental oxygen twice in recent days.

 

"He may not entirely be out of the woods yet," Dr. Sean. P. Conley, the White House physician, said. "If we can get through to Monday with him remaining the same or improving, better yet, then we will all take that final, deep sigh of relief."

 

But Conley said the medical team believed Trump was ready to leave the hospital, stressing he would have world-class medical care around the clock at the White House.

 

Conley said doctors were in "uncharted territory" because Trump had received certain therapies so early in the course of the illness.

 

The severity of Trump's illness has been the subject of intense speculation, with some medical experts noting that, as an overweight, elderly man, he was in a category more likely to develop severe complications or die from the disease.

 

Doctors also have been treating him with a steroid, dexmethasone, that is normally used only in the most severe cases.

 

Trump was reluctant to go to the hospital last week and was eager to get out, a source familiar with the situation told Reuters earlier on Monday, although Trump's medical team said he had not placed any pressure on the doctors treating him.

 

Trump is still undergoing a five-day course of an intravenous antiviral drug, remdesivir, and will have to isolate for a period of time.

The coronavirus outbreak around Trump widened on Monday when White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said she had tested positive for the virus. McEnany held a briefing for reporters on Thursday in which she did not wear a face mask.

 

Chad Gilmartin and Karoline Leavitt, who work in the White House's press office, also have tested positive, a source confirmed to Reuters.

 

TRAILING IN POLLS

A Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sunday showed Trump trailing Biden, 77, nationally by 10 percentage points. About 65% of Americans said Trump would not have been infected had he taken the virus more seriously.

 

Biden, who has tested negative for the disease several times since last Tuesday's presidential debate, said he was willing to participate in the next one on Oct. 15 in Miami if health experts deemed it safe.

 

Trump intends to take part in the debate, his campaign said.

 

A return to the White House might help Trump project a sense of normalcy. Before falling ill, he tried to pivot the campaign toward the U.S. economic recovery and the upcoming confirmation hearings for his Supreme Court nominee, Amy Coney Barrett.

 

But the growing number of COVID-19 cases in the White House as well as in Congress - three Republican senators have tested positive for the virus in the past week - threatens to draw further attention to Trump's pandemic response.

 

Major U.S. stock markets closed higher on Monday before Trump's departure from the hospital and amid signs of progress with a new fiscal stimulus bill in Congress. Wall Street's main indexes slumped on Friday after Trump's COVID-19 diagnosis.
