lol, he perpetually seems to have a five-year-old's notion of how an important businessman carries himself.

Okay, I just checked his Twitter and the follow-up to last night's video is a Scavino retweet from three hours ago. You're not even trying to convince us that he actually survived the night, here, Dan.

and btw they would be wheeling a sick Obama into place for the same dumb posed shots...this isn't just about domestic politics, it's SOP nat'l security signaling to world leaders that the president isn't incapacitated

The guy is nothing but reactionary ego. Being hospitalized is basically his worst nightmare come true, because it not only makes him look weak but proves he is literally weak. And all while he's lying there people are either speculating or talking shit, essentially kicking him when he is down, and he has always been about kicking back. The fact that he's not either means he's doing poorly and can't or for the first time in his entire life someone is able to keep him under control.

Seriously, imagine being that turd, lying in bed, flipping through the TV channels and listening to what people are saying and saying nothing in return.

fwiw I think I saw someone post that there was a brief lockdown at the hospital last night. Hypothesis being they had to move him to another room for another test. Time was after 9pm, you're not taking someone for a test then unless you need to.

xp gyac yes that too I'm sure

So Dr. Feelgood concedes that Trump was given supplemental oxygen a couple of days ago, but didn't want to say that for fear of sounding negative. And then admitted they have administered supplemental oxygen at least a second time, plus a dose of steroids.

swole trump

Also being reported that Trump was mad that anybody behind the scenes indicated he wasn't doing that well, which sounds more his style. Maybe he will have a (another) stroke or heart attack.

This thing I just read said no oxygen yesterday: https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/an-army-of-doctors-access-to-an-experimental-drug-a-special-patient-gets-special-care/2020/10/03/ba3e1e32-05b0-11eb-897d-3a6201d6643f_story.html

I think that's already old news. The doc, if I saw correctly, just now conceded he didn't quite tell the truth the first time and then admitted oxygen was given a second time.

On @CNN @drsanjaygupta just said of latest medical briefing on @POTUS #COVID19 "It's extremely concernung" -- I agree. Conley was evasive regarding lung scans plus 2 episodes dropped O2 plus inflammation requiring steroids.

i love how, even now, we are struggling with the idea that everyone around him, even credentialed professionals, lies on his behalf constantly

how can oxygen be a bad thing if we're all breathing it, morans!

extremely concernung

concerlung

The most telling part of that entire presser was the Dr. saying there were “expected findings” on lung imaging and refusing to elaborate.

Expecting findings does not mean clear or normal.

expectorant findings?

no fever since friday morning apparently. odd.

How so?

At this point I'm just wondering how long the Weekend at Donnie's phase of this charade is gonna last.

well when your body is fighting a virus it usually produces a fever. with covid it fluctuates a lot but it’s usually there. i have read of covid cases where a fever wasn’t present but it’s rare afaik.

If he's discharged tomorrow, he's fucked if he has to return at some point. They're so goddamn stupid.

'S'alright, Mr. President?'
'S'alright.'
'S'alright?'
'S'alright.'

president finally wears a mask and immediately needs oxygen from the severe CO2 poising he's meticulously avoided all along

*poisoning

lol I just heard this described as an episode of Veep where everyone tries to get covid to prove how much access to the president they have.

My understanding, dexamethasone shouldn't have been prescribed unless Trump's on a nasal cannula. 20% mortality benefit in patients on oxygen, no benefit (indeed, trending to 22% higher risks) in patients who don't require supplemental oxygen, according to the RECOVERY-Dexamethasone trial.

Imagine having this asshole as a patient.

Imagine his asshole as a patient.

It's amazing, Twitter has gone from a resigned "*now* what ... " to an excited "now what!?" Finally, the big ratings! The finale is going to be nuts.

He should sign his chest x-rays and auction them off. You know, for charity.

thanks a lot, now i imagined being patient with his asshole, ruined my weekend

Take pity, Trump has to be patient with his disobedient asshole all day every day.

Um: “dexamethasone has been found to reduce the risk of death in seriously ill coronavirus patients by about a third, according to clinical trial results hailed on Tues as a ‘major breakthrough.’ The drug did not appear to help less severely ill patients.” https://t.co/C11RvlDeRT

Meadows keeps accidentally telling the truth about Trump"s treatments bc he hasn't been briefed on which lies to tell, iirc the oxygen info came from him

maybe he's having a moment of panic, himself, about who is controlling the lies. is he controlling them, ivanka/kushner/family, or both?

there are three audiences - the public, congress, and the president himself. and each requires a different set of lies (from the perspective of these evil incompetent fucks)

the public must be lied to for obvious reasons.

congress is also being kept in the dark about the trump's condition. i imagine the inner circle doesn't seen an advantage in updating Machiavelli McConnell on his condition, and of course democrats are the enemy and must never have access to the truth.

most importantly, the president, surely watching the live press conference that is all about his own condition. obviously you can't tell the truth to him

If Trump were to confess all his sins before he died, he would never die.

no fever since friday morning apparently. odd.

One thing for everyone to remember, steroids suppress the ability for the body to mount a febrile response. So now that @realDonaldTrump is on Decadron saying that "he didn't have a fever" really tells us nothing.

We need to understand how he is doing clinically

Yeah and while fever is a bad thing, it is not the thing that actually kills people with COVID afaik.

sometimes you need a bad guy with COVID to take care of the other bad guys, with COVID

Honestly, the lack of clear information is ultimately all the information we need. There are plenty of benign ways to convey both good and bad, and we are getting neither.
