Rudy Giuliani coughing through his interview on Fox News

“Nobody that’s a leader would not do what I did. And maybe I’m immune now!”

Listen to his bull-strong voice. Man is immortal.

I totally get what you’re saying Hadrian. I think the speculation is stupid but then I fall into it. This shit is making us all nuts

xps thoughts and prayers for Rudy

I really will never understand why Saturday Night Live hired Alec Baldwin to play Trump when Christopher Walken was right there. Queens accent and all.

xxp really I'm just trying to check against my disappointment when we don't get to see his corpse

i have to say, i'm usually very skeptical of "he looks sick based on a short clip!", but he really does appear to be in pain in that "Trump appears to be wincing in pain while he breathes" clip above

I mean the one possibility is that he’s actually had the virus for a couple weeks and this WAS the worst part, and we would never know because he doesn’t get tested

I don’t believe that though

Every Covid story I’ve read has a part early on where it’s like “I felt pretty good the next day and thought I kicked it, then the next morning....”

Either way I do not think he is going to win reelection. So we’ll be rid of him soon.

Id rather insanely argue that he is a covid hoax and be pleasantly surprised by a dire ending for him than argue that he’s srsly ill while he’s securing his second term.

It’s all been a fake.

"The president posed for photos and appeared to be taking part in a video shoot following his return to the executive mansion..."

(Rudy Giuliani is literally waiting for the results of a COVID test)

Martha MacCallum: "I hope that cough is not anything bad. You're waiting for your test to come back.

Rudy Giuliani: "I hope so too. I'll let you know tomorrow."

i have to go, martha. i have an event where i need to walk around maskless near other maskless people. it's ok because i'm not showing any symptoms other than this cough, and of course i haven't had a positive result.

Worth remembering that the WH has top tier medical care, so it's not like he's on his own. He'll die under the watch of some very capable people.

He’ll live but lose the election. He will not go to jail because the mystery behind his tax returns is that he is laundering money for the CIA. He will become an announcer on the Golf network and his years as president will seem, to him as much as to us, like a bad dream. Even his enemies will grudgingly admit that as a golf announcer he is pretty good.

I really will never understand why Saturday Night Live hired Alec Baldwin to play Trump when Christopher Walken was right there. Queens accent and all.

they brought Ataminuk in to audition, then allegedly never even called him back, then allegedly showed Baldwin the tapes of Ataminuk as prep for his first episode

one might speculate as to what host of reasons Lorne might have for giving a four year gig to a rich and famous asshole who is very bad at parodying Trump even with a headstart, over a non-famous funny person who is very good at parodying Trump

Rudy Giuliani will return to his home, one of the caves from The Descent

the Trump sketch the other night (in fact, that entire sketch) was cringe

sorry I meant his Trump parody AND the sketch itself

the theatrics surrounding his "grand return" are really funny tbh. clown president.

i say this with full knowledge that his insistence that people should "not be afraid" of covid, and that they'll "beat it" too, will get people killed. this is gallows humor.

They should just go back to using the O'Jays song they used as the Apprentice theme song. You know he'd like that better.

No way I’m watching the video he tweeted 1h ago but I am indeed curious to know whether it’s as ‘incoherent’ as The Guardian claims. Like, more so than his usual verbal diarrhea?

that prior video is one of the funniest things I've seen this year

Not just any clown, the class clown. Enjoy living in high school hell forever.

xps

The helicopter video has extreme Make-A-Wish vibes... what if he didn't want to die in the hospital but instead in the WH residence?

He looks like he's about ready to cry.

maybe I'm immune
by the way you love me all the time

again, i know he sounds like shit all the time, but he sounds way more like shit

just now realizing this thread title I can now only hear as a shouted chorus by Disco Rick and the Dogs

that last shot, where he waves to the helicopter as it flies away and you just see his "iconic" bouffant hairstyle from the back, is just very funny. there is kitsch and then there is this guy--there is no way the ceremonial trappings of the presidency will ever regain any kind of seriousness again after this.

Trump literally had a heart attack walking up the stairs.

when he gets off the helicopter that preposterous little boy across the playground wave

there is no way the ceremonial trappings of the presidency will ever regain any kind of seriousness again after this

the more I think about this the more I feel like he's on Day 10-11 right now and we don't know because he never got tested

I notice they didn't show him walking down the steps from the helicopter. He was at the top and the next shot shows him stepping onto the ground. He seemed shaky with the stairs in the hospital clip too.

and only started showing hospital-worthy symptoms on day 7? seems odd. also: with covid you can be hypoxic and still not feel short of breath. Plenty of accounts of people whose sats are extremely low (below 50) and they're still chatting away and don't feel oxygen-deprived. xp

This guy does the perfect job of managing both to say "he might be wriggling out of it" and "there's still hope"

(1/5) To put Trump being started on dexamethasone in perspective, we do it for patients when they become hypoxic

Some patients I've had are on remdesivir/dexa like Trump is now & only require a touch of oxygen (eg, 2L) for a day or two & then come off it.

I notice they didn't show him walking down the steps from the helicopter.

He probably did a really cool jump and kick, Van Damme style

and a grown man in a Rocksteady costume got in his way and he kicked him right in the face. dude wobbled a bit and almost even went down!

like he kicked covid in the face, fuckin' badass

As my wife said, "That is a desperate man."
