TRUMP GOT COVID

lol that asshole is literally never in good spirits these people can choke on it xp

I’m already tempering my expectations but I’d be happy enough if this experimental cocktail had some funny side effects, like he recovers in 2 weeks but has to come out for the election with his lips all puffed up or something

If you need me I’ll be at my hospital office

Per source, Trump insisted on walking to Marine One. For the visual.

Trump, in March, saying people should go to work with COVID-19:

Here is the President of the United States telling the country it's okay to go to work with Coronavirus.

Welp, he took his own advice! Not a bad thing to start retweeting tbh.

Real Boris vibes out of this handling. From “it’s just a precaution” to “he’s in good spirits” to “who is this fucking wreck we see before us?” and then it being revealed he was in a pretty bad way when they were talking him up.

Please don't invoke Johnson's tragic recovery

Bloomberg reporting that the President is using the motorcade route through Dallas that i suggested.. Good.

I just had a flash of what it would look like for Trump to die while in office: the lying in state in the Capitol Rotunda, the Marine honor guard (none wearing masks, ofc), the horse-drawn caisson, all the solemn twaddle from media talking heads about a nation in shock and deep mourning.

The ritual pomp and dishonest eulogizing will be next to unendurable, but at least there would be other compensations.

was thinking the same, it would be miserable

Watching Obama keep a straight face through the funeral would be amusing.

zoom funeral

Carter would be all "I'll outlive all of you yet."

Saw it reported that he was walked very slowly to his helicopter. Also saw posted that the White House apparently has its own excellent medical facilities, so the only reason to move to a proper hospital would be one of true concern.

Who are we betting on to write the definitive vicious eulogy on him, HL Mencken/ Hunter Thompson style?

I am sure the Trevor Noah / John Oliver / Samantha Bee types already have pretty advanced drafts

Never a clearer demonstration of American decline than HST on Nixon to the prospect of Samantha Bee on Trump.

it was a normal walk. he walks faster than i do.

Yes, there is a medical facility in the White House on a level with some hospitals.

Yeah, video of walk seems pretty normal.

heard a radio interview with the head of Mayo Clinic laboratories, kind of a bummer.

so basically he says (totally paraphrasing here based on hearing this in the car so could have details off) that the experimental treatment, basically taking plasma from people who have had it and injecting it) is pretty promising, they've administered to about 250 ppl

no negative effects so far, is based on immunotherapy they do for cancer....got the gist he thinks it's on its way to getting approved

also said that they have been finding that early intervention is reducing mortality across the board

wouldn't speculate why he went to hospital but did suggest it might be an abundance of caution if he were the one in charge

Never a clearer demonstration of American decline than HST on Nixon to the prospect of Samantha Bee on Trump.

Roth's clear-eyed awareness of the deep banality of Trump > HST-style performative spleen

Exciting, but definitely some big supply chain issues.

This would be the same game-changing treatment he was boosting after returning to press conferences for a day or two after the long break. He kept calling it “plahs-muh.”

Liberals have now moved onto "Trump dying means Pence wins re-election", how dumb.

milo's concern re: Senate is the only one that seems valid of those I've heard

xps to ums god damn it I told them they shouldn't have posted that news in the outbreak thread ;)

It would be fitting if he died from untested medical treatments

Hydroxychloriwhatever has "hair loss" as a side effect

Just sayin

Tonight I tested positive for COVID-19. My symptoms are mild (light cough) and I’m feeling fine. I have begun a quarantine process in consultation with physicians.

As always, my heart is with everyone affected by this global pandemic. ❤️

fucking dying

https://i.imgur.com/6QeKcbD.jpeg

lol

Torn between hoping he just up and fucking dies already, and wanting him to stay alive, possibly with lasting effects, being charged with all the criminal shit he’s done, dragged through the courts for the rest of his miserable life, and dying a few years from now a broken husk, exhausted, friendless, penniless, and mourned only by a few toothless paranoid zealots living in a flat-tired RV outside a Chik-Fil-A.

Believe me, I want the latter.

We all deserve to see the latter, but we'll all settle for the former.
