Underrated question: do we get a Section 3 invocation?

The fact that he hasn't tweeted since the initial announcement is really telling that this could be more than "precautionary."

They wanted to get him out of the White House before they'd be forced to wheel him out in a wheelchair:

Yeah, bye-bye any chance whatsoever at a sympathy bump. He thought he could just hide this & pretend he was healthy. What an evil person.

Moreover, I don't trust at all - at this point - that he didn't know before the debate. I can see him thinking that if he has it, then he could at least give it to Biden too (which would explain why he was yelling so much - to increase the spread).

It was obviously a misspeak.  The doctor couldn’t even remember what day of the week it was.

Probably.

They got the positive test on Thursday night. Today is Saturday. So in his mind, he probably went about thinking “Thursday to Saturday is 3 days, therefore 72 hours.” I don’t think he meant for people to bust out the calculators and start figuring out when was 72 hours ago exactly from his moment in time.

The mind-boggling lengths you people will go to defend your God Emperor would be hilarious if they just weren't so sad.

Presumably from the same sources as the above Tweet. Even if it's more salacious to talk about this as a life-death situation, I think the more pertinent conversation to have right now is how long Trump will be out of commission as President and as a candidate.




Anonymous sources to the rescue again!!!



AP: Well, their identity got leaked, so yeah, the source is literally the White House Chief of Staff.

Redban (& SirWoodbury):

Last I checked, a random-ass Biden supporter ain't "the media," though nice try at convincing us you're not an intellectually dishonest, bad-faith actor Wink

Not surprising. Democrats need to immediately isolate themselves from Republicans. Never has bipartisanship been more risky.

Could this have been prerecorded? The decor matches more of the style of the white house than the known photos of Walter Reed. Furthermore, his hair looks pretty much the same as the other day, and he doesn't mention any specific events that occurred since he left the WH.

This is the room at walter reed



This is a hospital room?! Geezum crow. It has a hardwood floor!

Also, the decor clearly hasn't been updated since Reagan was in the hospital for his gunshot wound...

Reagan didn't go to Walter Reed after the assassination attempt, he was taken to GW.

We have a President who is physically unwell.
And we have the most likely next president in cognitive decline.

What could go (even more) wrong?

I don't want it to happen, but I'd love to hear from red/green avatars the reasons why Trump would get a polling bump from being hospitalized for COVID twice in 2 weeks
You know damn well our reasons to believe such.

Yeah, because that "joke" (if you can even call it that) worked out so well for you last time you made it, didn't it?

Is anyone thinking these were pre-recorded?

He's since already gone outside (by car), so no:
