Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

[Jotaux]

Jr only noticed the crazy now.


Trump family is arguing over how to reign in Trump’s erratic behavior. Don Jr. has told people his father is acting “crazy.” My latest:

“Don Jr. Thinks Trump Is Acting Crazy”: The President’s COVID Joyride Has the Family Divided
The president’s recklessness at Walter Reed has Don Jr. pushing for an intervention, but Ivanka and Jared “keep telling Trump how great he’s doing,” a source says.

Pssst Jr, your girlfriend is also on crazy pills ....

Maybe he's finally off his coke binge.

And we've officially hit 30.

NEWS:
@NYMag
has confirmed that Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California has tested POSITIVE for COVID-19. Pastor Laurie was at the Prayer March on the Mall with Mike Pence and Franklin Graham and the ACB Rose Garden event later that day.

[Shadowferal]

It's a play on words. Nobody has died, but we're now up to 29/30 confirmed infections stemming from the largely maskless and distance-less Rose Garden event.

If you want to promote a sense of urgency then the people in the admin need to start dying. Without that they will continue the skepticism and indifference.
Preaching to your own choir does nothing.
Were Hicks or McEnany were to drop dead...?

[Xyonai]

They've BEEN having congregations like this the entire time. That just now they've all caught it absolutely is questionable.

If anything it goes to show how lucky they've been thus far that it took this long for an event like this to happen.

Uh...no, I'm not going to promote that people die, that's awful.

I'll promote that their months of reckless, dangerous, arrogant, ignorant behavior that put everyone in and around the White House at risk finally caught up to them and we have a large outbreak AT ONE OF THE MOST SECURE LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD, and that alone should promote plenty of urgency.

Seeing as how people seem to be reacting in blaming Trump for something he could have avoided, no need to wish death.

[Breccia]

"Massacre?" How many died as a result?
Think about the optics.

*ahem*

Bowling Green Massacre.

Continue.

[DSRilk]

Again, it's not. Every one of those events, especially when they didn't socially distance them and people are largely unmasked. was them playing Russian Roulette with the virus. Especially given that the people who are the type to show up to these events unmasked and not observing social distancing are the type of people who engage in this kind of dangerous behavior in their normal lives. These aren't a bunch of folks all following best-practice advise from doctors.

The only difference this time is that there was finally a bullet in the chamber. That's literally it.

He needs to watch the opening scene of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead.
You can flip a coin and have it land heads up 100 times in a row, but the chance of it landing heads up next time is still 50/50.

[swiftowner]

Let's extend that line of thinking. Trump wants plenty of Americans to have guns. But...does he have firsthand experience with being shot?

And if having firsthand experience is so important, why wasn't Trump licking windows since March to get infected on purpose? Why did he lie about his test results?

EDIT: You know what, second challenge. Trump supporters including @Orlong @Hammerfest @Thwart @GreenJesus @lockedout and @Ghostpanther you now have 24 hours to address the situation. Your options are:

1) No, having firsthand experience of having caught COVID-19 is not necessary for handling the fight against it.
2) Having COVID-19 is useful, but Trump chose not to get infected for months, despite it being a benefit.
3) The linked article is wrong, and the ad does not exist..

You have 24 hours. Failure, as always, is admission of cowardice plus I get to pick for you. Especially since I have the feeling some of my fellow posters are also going to quote this post and mention these posters, meaning "oh I didn't see it" will remain an unacceptable excuse.

I do believe that some people are responding without this challenge being responded to.

[Breccia]

He needs to watch the opening scene

You're talking about theoretical vs. empirical evidence. If I saw someone do what you spoilers'd, I would say "that person is cheating".

Dude, you missed the time when Herman Cain dropped dead and it really created a sense of urgency....

Your takes are just consistently bad.

[fwc577]

Methinks that Donnie Jr. may actually have a human emotion about his father, while Ivanka and Jared are worried about what happens if they lose their cushy government positions.

I'll let you know when I give a shit what a bunch of Q-anon conspiracy theorists think.

No, he's just a deep-state plant. Why do you think he looks nothing like Eric and Ivanka?

[Breccia]

Really? Who? Are they Trump supporters? Because I think I know what everyone else will say, plus they don't support Trump so they're not being called to defend it.

Trump is actually going to force the doctors to release him -

Saw the Marine One and decoys heading toward Walter Reed.

And yet more conspiracy theories will arise, "he's still at the hospital on WH film sets". He is the acting President, after all.

[kaelleria]

A source familiar with POTUS phone calls from the hospital today tells me he said “I need to get out of here.” He's being warned that if he rushes to leave the hospital and has a setback it would be bad for not just his health, but his re-election campaign.

He absolutely despises hospitals so this seems about right.

Since referencing Stephen King seems to be in vogue in 2020, Johnny didn't need to assassinate Stillson, as soon as the first bullet fired and Stillson reached for a human shield it was all over.

Trump doesn't need to lose his battle against Covid, he already lost his battle against reality.

He's a moron. I'd bet money that he'll get worse, just because he cannot think in the long term.

[Breccia]

Well now what? He already tried this by resisting going to the hospital, trying to show strength, only to cave while gasping on oxygen, showing what he views as weakness. (No, needing medical help to save your life is not weakness)

Nothing would be more perfect a parallel for Trump than to ignore doctors' advice, and as a result, injure or kill himself and/or others. And this time, he'll have zero excuses.

You might get killed, or worse, expelled from the White House.
