Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Edge-]

Doubly ironic because Pence spokesdemon Katie Miller is trying to shame Harris for being cautious about COVID when she caught and recovered from it herself.

Who better to tell Scared Kamala that it's a whole lotta nothing and she just needs to get over it!

Yale health professional says Trump is being treated like he is in his 10th day of infection. Which could mean he was infected last Wednesday, and the symptom just caught up with him - but I'm not sure, and it appears the entire White House staff is in some way or another lying to the public about the situation.
@alexw - would they treat someone with steroids in this situation?

[Breccia]

And we've officially hit 30.

I just wish that in a time like this we could not politicize this something like this and showed compassion to people that are struggling with this. It's real,

-- the pastor in question

He does know he attended a Trump event, right? Trump, as in the one who just said COVID-19 was nothing to worry about and that Biden was weak for never catching it?

Pence camp opposed plan that will use Plexiglass to separate Kamala Harris and Mike Pence at VP debate,

I'm sure he does. But his team, Team Trump, was put on the honor system andi then immediately infected a bunch of people, so, I don't think his opinio counts for much.

I agree with @Edge- I dare Pence to bring this up. Or, you know, forfeit.

Oh, and by all accounts Trump has ordered himself discharged. Neat. Hey Biden, you can turn the attack ads back on.

Not verified but the least untrustworthy Conway seems to think that Trump's appearance of good health is being feigned.

[Benggaul]

I haven't seen this many people upset over Trump's discharge since he paid off that sex worker with campaign funds!

She'd hardly be alone. This is the "Form over substance" presidency in every way. I have no doubts they're overmedicating him so he can look lucid and coherent for a few minutes during a car ride and then it's back to the IV and bed. The lack of any clear information from the WH backs this up, if he was doing well they'd be blowing up the internet with pictures and video and bragging about how he beat the virus in record time.

Yeah, especially since it's become clear that there's no sympathy bounce for him.

@cubby to answer your earlier question based on my own experiences in healthcare, yes, steroids can be useful in managing infections that have autoimmune effects - but the thing which doesn't jive here is that you wouldn't be giving them to someone with a 'mild' case. Prednisone and dexamethasone both have immunosuppressant effects which you do not want in a 'mild' case where the body is still able to fight infection; for a severe case, though, it makes less of a difference since the immune system is pretty much haywire by that point regardless.

Oh, keep in mind that all of this shit is literally palliative; it just masks symptoms and has little if any bearing on whether or not he's still contagious, which he most certainly is.

Well, the kid forced her mom to admit that ahe has Corona. So there's that.

[kaelleria]

Someone already posted it... but look at the Herman Caine timeline.

He's on steroids so he probably feels pretty good right now... this will probably change in the next few days.

[Thepersona]

Trump is a selfish narcisistic Bastard.

Thank you for the info. Very telling that Trump seems to be essentially creating a COVID ICU in the White House, including new medical staff (housing being set up outside the White House). And from what you are saying, a confirmed treatment Trump just recently received is not for someone "out of the woods" but in fact for someone who is playing patty-cake with the Big Bad Wolf.

And of course he's still highly contagious, something he obviously cares nothing about. I've never seen a better candidate for a ventilator.

Trump took his mask off as soon as he got back to the White House....

Good thing he's at his hom...wait, the White House is the peoples house? Well it's a good thing he's at the peoples house alon...wait, it's packed with political and non-political staffers? DAMNIT ALL.

[cubby]

Trump took his mask off as soon as he got back to the White House....

See above...Trump is just beyond words at this point.

[kaelleria]

He's so orange in this footage.

[nonameelf]

Alright. At this point I'm just going to say that Trump is clearly a sociopath.

[TigTone]

It must be to hide the fact his body was showing signs of being at deaths door.

[Adam Jensen]

So Susan Collins was wrong.

He didn't learn his lesson.

[TigTone]

Alright. At this point I'm just going to say that Trump is clearly a sociopath.

Aren’t sociopaths violent ?

[Breccia]

Aren’t sociopaths violent ?

You mean, like, capable of killing two hundred fifteen thousand people?

[nonameelf]

Aren’t sociopaths violent ?

Not always. It's mostly just not giving a shit about the wellbeing or feelings of other people. Which is 100% Trump. As has been clearly displayed in both his car jackoff session yesterday and his removing of the mask before entering the White House today.
