    And overall his Twitter account isn’t very active right now , is it? That could indicate that it’s worse than we think

    So should all these Republicans likely getting sick at the Rose Garden event celebrating ignoring a dead woman's dying wish be considered a possible act of divine retribution?

    And now the WH is trying to walk back through time-line saying the Dr mispoke... but you don't say the wrong thing like 9 times in the same press conference.

    Oh and little things like Regeneron are mispelled.

    'Regeneron' is not even spelled correctly in this statement.

    That's past tense. I can think of two or three things they can do about it now. Like, invite Biden only.

    No way is that Trump. The syntax is far too coherent.

    Conversations w Republicans close to WH over last 12 hours indicate it’s been far more dire than WH has said. Before being taken to Walter Reed, Trump kept asking aides, “Am I going out like Stan Chera? Am I?” (Chera was Trump’s NYC friend who died of Covid in April)

    Gee... I wonder whose fault this is...

    Still true, but I'm treating these tweets with deep skepticism purely out of the sake of being fair. I have no problem believing the WH would lie, duh. I'm just not going to base everything on these reports yet. Again, the odds favor Trump living through this.

    Note the language used. Not if his condition worsened but when.

    His bloodwork must have come back terrible and they were expecting him to seriously deteriorate.

    This is definitely true. We've definitely gotten a lot better at treating Covid complications than we were in March and April.

    That being said, the WH has definitely downplayed everything and their public statements don't make a whole lot of sense.

    No doctor I've ever heard of would mess up timelines like Conley is claiming he did.

    Senate Judiciary Committee: "We want to hear more about the Russian hoax from McCabe."

    McCabe: "I would, really, but y'all got coronavirus."

    Damn.

    The revelation that Trump received supplemental oxygen, and was worse earlier than expected is huge. Anyone who has ever been oxygen-deprived to that point, understands the fear that creeps into you. Your body begins to panic very quickly, and your brain makes it clear you are about to die. The realization of a possible impending death is a memorable thing for anyone. But, for a pathological narcissist like Trump, it means all his bargaining, all his "deals" he's made, meant nothing.

    Trump was laid down by the very same thing that has killed 210k Americans, and although he will still likely survive, any pretense that this is "just the flu" that his cultists like to shout, can be contradicted by their messiah being manhandled by it.

    Yeah expected. Better to get him to the hospital on his feet than in an ambulance. This is all about optics (although honestly most presidents would do the same in this extreme case)

    I think Trump will live, but everyone saying he's fine and he's doing well, is complete bullshit. he has moderate symptoms, and by every account of everyone ever who's had moderate symptoms, he's not doing well and is feeling like hell right now. Also wtf is with his doctor not only correcting himself about the 72 hours but also spelling the name of the drug they gave him as regeron instead of what regeneron. I mean they lied about wilson who had a stroke that left has his face paralized never told the public, to all the shit wrong with reagan they lied about, We won't ever know the true extent of what's going on, till long after trump's gone, but what we do know now officially from the WH about trump isn't the truth.

    It would 100% explain how Trump degraded so quickly: he didn't. He'd actually been sick longer than we knew.

    The note wasn't signed either... which also would never happen. Probably McEnemy or Meadows wrote it.

    Hey Breccia, what's your opinion on the regime knowingly exposing people to a lethal infection because they wanted to cover up their shitfuckery?

    Also, how do you feel about leading questions?

    Man...if Trump wasn't so dismissive and such a dick about the virus since early this year, you could absolutely feel bad for a scared old man worried about his own mortality.

    Almost.

    Fun Fact: There are now more active cases of COVID-19 in the White House than the countries of New Zealand, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Combined.
