TRUMP GOT COVID

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.

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

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!

― Mr. Cacciatore (Moodles), Tuesday, October 6, 2020 5:46 AM (one hour 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

I hope there are photos like the ones of Chris Farley.

of course

NEWS: Trump wants to make a dramatic exit from Walter Reed. He plans to walk out the golden front doors on camera, sources tell @SalehaMohsin and me. He's shooting a video inside the hospital first, and then will walk to car and then to Marine One. No plan to speak to press. pic.twitter.com/DqLY6MvyXZ

oh he’s gonna go full “The Decision” on this shit

I wonder how many hours it has taken to get his hairpiece styled and orange foundation slathered on for this stunt.

hope he shits himself and falls over on the way to the car

fucker is probably okay and it's going to drive me insane

I hope there are photos like the ones of Chris Farley.

he wears suits that are too big, not too small

again, unless this obese 74 year old man who believes exercise is bad for you has a prognosis unlike any other person on the planet who's been hospitalized for this I think it's safe to assume we'll be looking back on today and laughing our asses off

I imagine he's hoping Biden will refuse to debate with him likely contagious, so he can crow about "scaring sleepy Joe".

“You see it in enthusiasm for the President outside Walter Reed Hospital. You see it in Registrations, from Florida to Pennsylvania & West Virginia, where Republicans are outstripping Democrats by 2 to 1. If the President bounces back onto the campaign trail, he will be an....

like they really are gonna go all in on the TRUMP BEATS COVID thing despite the fact that WE KNOW this virus takes a long time to play out, even in "mild cases", and everyone who's gotten a big ol' dose of steroids during treatment has said they know exactly how Trump is feeling right now, and if you think there's a chance that maybe they're doing this because Trump is "probably okay" let me point you to how the White House became a leper colony in the first place

by the way even if he IS okay or recovers fine it still looks like their messaging from here on out is gonna be "Covid is no big deal because strong daddy Trump beat it" which is a fucking terrible thing to campaign on. it'll resonate with "the deplorables" and turn off everyone else.

Listened to about a half-hour of right-wing radio out of Buffalo on the way home tonight...Victory lap, of course. The next four weeks should be something: the host referred to the 200,000 Americans who have "allegedly" died of COVID.

It's funny how "the deplorables" fell out of fashion in favour of "Trump's base".

Doesn’t matter, there’s no such thing as society, merely a formless mass of discrete individual subjects who project their own performative truth upon so-called reality.

xp

Lmao at this dipshit getting high as balls on steroids and making a victory lap.

Does anyone seriously think he’s out of the woods on this thing at all?

no

Oh I'm sure he does, as do his supporters. They are the ones that'll be blindsided when he takes a turn for the worse again.
