When they manipulate video like this (and get caught), it sends a very bad/worrying message to the people of the US, and to national leaders around the world.

LMAO.
"Working for the American people" my ass.
It's Saturday ... his fat-behind would have been on the golf course today.

Uh, is he even awake?

Regardless of whether he's actually reading through random documents, this seems staged. Also, never seen him in an all white suit before since he became President.

I think I’m missing something? He’s writing something with a sharpie?

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I 99% believe these photo/video updates were done yesterday at the White House.

It’s a blank piece of paper.

It looks like he's just signing a blank sheet of paper.

He is not in an all white suit, he is just in a white long sleeve shirt.

However this does not seem to be the same place as where the video was shot. I think Ivanka might have used an old photo.

His hair and lack of orange make it obvious it’s from today.

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

Pathetic. This administration continues to stoop to a new low. Releasing staged photos just so that Trump doesn't look "weak".

At least give him a crossword or a sudoku or something.

[Rand]

Can’t wait until they “Weekend at Bernie’s” this guy.

[Indy Texas 🇺🇦🇵🇸]

How long before they're bringing bills into the hospital and grabbing semiconscious Trump's arm, sticking a Sharpie in his hand and crudely dragging it across the paper for a signature?

Joe Biden’s campaign has done plenty of things this year to try and make him not appear weak and old so don’t even try pulling that one lol

[musicblind]

I have a gut feeling Trump testing positive for COVID-19 is inevitable.

You, sir, were psychic.

After hearing about his closest advisor having COVID, it's not a big prognostication to say he had a good chance of catching it very soon after (Or before her, as the timeline may be leaning towards)

At least Biden isn't in the hospital. You thought it was funny to make fun of him wearing a mask and staying at home, but now the joke is on you.

Def not a straight-jacket, let alone a black and white vertical striped shirt and suit pants attire either..

This is definitely nowhere near Walter Reed, and no doubt both appear to have been recorded within the White House (Unless there is a secret room in Walter Reed for Presidents to perform conf calls and sign docs)...

Ivanka was always Trump's favorite and in fact he will back her in 2024 even against Pence to continue the Trump Brand and Family dynasty....

Anyways--- Trump gets my sympathy (but not my vote), despite his extreme negligence and dereliction of duty when it came to how he has handled the Pandemic....

Would much rather see him arrested and convicted for Federal Tax Evasion from the SDNY Attorney's office than to see another human die and suffer at the hands of the world's worst pandemic in 100 Years, despite his incompetence and extremely poor response to the crisis in all ways....

It is possible to both to be a #NeverTrumper while simultaneously supporting the struggle for survival where literally life and death is on the line for all of those who have and will be infected regardless of political background, race/ethnicity, age, "pre-existing conditions", country of origin, etc...

Me or my Wife get the disease our survival prospects might be even lower than Trump's.... My Dad or Mom get the disease.... well age / weight / overall medical background and "pre-existing conditions", my Dad likely dies and my Mom likely survives...

We need no more death Americans dying the streets from COVID-19, but as always the wealthy and most privileged tend to survive, even those 65+ Yrs....

There is no equal justice in America when it comes to life and death at the hands of the Medical Industry, and yes this s**t is real, and America should have taken a Global Leadership Roll early on, plus learned from the experiences in Asia-Pacific and Europe to try to stop the s**t at the borders....

Herman Cain was at a in person Trump rally in June, with no mask. He died due to Covid a few months ago. He will be the first MAGA saint to have died for their sins, Trump could be next.

[DaleCooper]

I think that these wealthy men like Trump and Herman Cain just genuinely think that they're immune to whatever diseases spread among the common folk purely because they themselves are rich. It's the only real explanation for this. Trump admitted on tape that he knew the virus was bad and easily spread, but he chose to take no precautions anyway, clearly he thought little of the possibility that he would catch it.
