TRUMP GOT COVID

See, now weak Joe Biden can still get the Cove, but Super Trump already beat it. Who would your rather have running the country? Weak & sickly, or superhuman?

According to sources, Don Jr. has told friends that he tried lobbying Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Jared Kushner to convince the president that he needs to stop acting unstable. “Don Jr. has said he wants to stage an intervention, but Jared and Ivanka keep telling Trump how great he’s doing,”

It's like King Lear except with Toby Keith playing at the funeral.

Conley ‘not at liberty’ to discuss lung scans. Interesting, most interesting.

White House doctors releasing his vital signs down to the number, answering questions about how he's doing better.

Then asked about his chest scans, suddenly they invoke HIPAA patient privacy protections and won't answer

he has the biggest lungs, the most beautiful lungs you've seen

there was a moment early where they were just cycling through doctors every 30 seconds at the podium that felt like a circular firing squad

Nickn beat me to "don't fear the covid." Damnit.

Herman Cain and John Prine
Are together in eternity
We can be like they are

he can have round the clock medical care at the white house. this isn't the same as you or i leaving the hospital.

since we're all wondering

A humbling Herman Cain/coronavirus timeline:

6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies

Neither the White House nor his transportation to it are going to be remotely covid secure.

if those lung scans looked good he’d have them framed in a 4’ x 6’ frame and hung next to the inauguration crowds and red/blue electoral map

I think he wants to get back to the WH to wipe his hands and cough on anything Joe might be liable to touch in January.

If I was a potential assassination target, I would refrain from publishing my travel schedule on Twitter. Maybe that's just me.

Biden's campaign needs to bring back the negative ads right fucking now

I feel like they pulled the negative ads because they knew how much fodder they would receive for new negative ads

Quite.

I still have no understanding of what people think that's going to gain the Biden campaign. Right now Biden is coasting and the polls are getting worse for Trump by the day. Why expend resources on going on the offensive?

Agree with this. Trump's shittiness is clearly visible to all but the cultists. The last month is for "what I'll do as President" ads IMO.

yep

no need to run an ad describing the tornado that is outside everyone's window

pointing out that the President's triumphant* return is the result of having access to a dozen doctors and experimental treatments that would bankrupt normal people who by the way pay way more in taxes than he does seems like it might be a good angle

I mean like obviously he's not okay and it's fucking insane that right-wing media and GOP congressmen are treating this like "Trump is BACK!" right now, I'm sure that won't age badly

yeah totally, why not go "i stand for a vision of america where EVERYBODY, not just billionaires and politicians, get access to the great health care that the President did"?

i mean biden doesn't really stand for that, but he could say it

and also sure hammer home that trump got COVID precisely because trump doesn't take COVID seriously and also that lack of seriousness has led to at least tens of thousands of additional deaths. but maybe that point is effectively already made for him, and it doesn't gain him anything, idk.

wait, equitable healthcare is SOCIALISM

treeship.

this is otm. still crazy to put everyone at risk, still deeply irresponsible to say don’t be afraid of covid. not necessarily stupid politically though.

frogbs EVERYTHING trump says ages badly, that’s part of the usp iirc i.e. he don’t give a flyin fuck

absolutely crazy to put others' lives at risk, no argument from me there.

As President Trump prepares to leave the hospital today- his campaign tells me he plans to participate in the next Presidential Debate on Oct 15th.
“Yes,” said @TimMurtaugh
“It is the president’s intention to debate.”

lmao please keep saying this

thanking u for that inspiring Herman Cain timeline

the town hall debate??

I know it won't happen but imagine him thumbs-upping his way into a helicopter, sitting down, and immediately dying

Biden should decline the next debate: "I'm going to be the next president, so I can't be exposed to sickies like him."

he'll be back in the hospital before the next debate

would he likely still be contagious on oct 15?

everything I've seen says 14 days to be safe so it's cutting it awfully fucking close if he actually got the positive test when he says he did and not two (or more) days earlier

he'll be back in the hospital before the next debate

Yep. He may be in and out again before 10/15 but I am betting strongly on a relapse.

who the hell is named judd deere

Kind of lolling at people wanting to default back to the same campaign strategy that won Hillary Clinton the popular vote and lost her the electoral college

I want nonstop "OH MY GOD LOOK AT THIS DUMB ASSHOLE" ads too but I'm already going to vote for Biden and Trump is already bleating his dumb assholedom to the media every chance he gets; Biden needs to say "this is what I'm going to do" and do so like a non-crazy non-narcissistic sphincter while also saying "btw remember you can vote early" and bank on a groundswell of terrified early voters

i agree. this is biden's shot to demonstrate leadership and sanity.

yeah you're probably right, I guess it is reassuring to see non-FOX outlets reporting this as nothing but total recklessness and irresponsibility

agreed. Biden already has a lock on the anti-Trump voters, he just needs to inspire people who are on the fence about voting to vote for him

He's giving a speech as I type in Miami and he hasn't mentioned the president yet.

(that's good)

I just remembered that Dubya ran a "restore honor and dignity" campaign, and that as dumb as that seemed (to me), it worked in the wake of Clinton. I could see Biden doing the same thing -- sort of a positive and proactive spin on the anti-Trump angle.

Isn't the next debate a town hall?

only patriots who are not afraid of covid-19 may live in the town

NEW @CNN poll (Oct. 1-4):

Trump approval (change from Sept)
Approve - 40% (-1)
Disapprove - 57% (+4)

Trump COVID approval
Approve - 37% (-3)
Disapprove - 60% (+5)

Did Trump act responsibly handling the virus risk to those around him?
Yes - 33%
No- 63%https://t.co/d4LexhFogA

This is some Chev Chelios shit

― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Tuesday, October 6, 2020 5:10 AM (one hour ago)

I've been thinking of Chelios dying from "the Chinese shit" as long as Trump's been talking about "the China virus," so it's very amusing to see him getting hyper-cranked beyond the advice of his reckless doctors now

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Do not, my friends, become addicted to water. It will take hold of you, and you will resent its absence. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

You're saying he'd rather haunt the WH rather than Walter Reed?

― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, October 6, 2020 6:19 AM (thirty-two minutes ago)

He'd rather shit his pants and die on a carpet that Joe Biden will have to walk on later
