Not surprising the WH had a good ol' photoshoot. I still can't believe they had him sign obviously blank pieces of paper. Did they think no one would notice?

[emailking]

Is it for sure that those are the times they were taken vs. exported?

[Scott the Aussie]

Why have him pose in two different rooms 10 minutes apart?

They cannot be too worried about his health if he is being taken all around the building to pose for shots of him working.

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

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

Exhibit A as to Why the mods shouldn't have gotten rid of the eye roll emoji.

EDIT: I just looked it up and Wilson had his stroke exactly 101 years ago yesterday. [Twilight Zone Theme]

[Dr. Arch]

Oh hey, maybe we can turn around the campaign by staying negative and faking photo ops to make myself seem like I'm not sick!

Yep... Nobody could've ever seen through this...

History has repeated itself again! I recall seeing this image of Woodrow and Edith Wilson before; it was taken in June 1920, if I'm recalling correctly, or a hundred years ago! Earlier, I remarked on how Wilson had contracted the Spanish Flu, just like how Trump has now contracted coronavirus.

[BaldEagle1991]

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

You, sir, were psychic.

You want me to give you the lottery numbers?

Seriously, I think it wasn't too hard to predict.

Earlier that year he got Spanish flu.

So photos were from Walter Reed and Trump is using a Woodrow Wilson "Spanish Flu" image to back his polling numbers?

There is no way in HELL that the doctors would accept Trump just walking around various rooms, touching everything, and especially being maskless.

[Scott the Aussie]

So this is what the Presidental Suite, ward 71, at Walter Reed looks like. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-8800181/Inside-Walter-Reed-Trump-treated-coronavirus-secure-Presidential-Suite.html?ito=amp_twitter_share-top

The photos released of Trump look nothing like this, very strange

[Badger]

I very much want Trump to recover from covid, so he can sufcer a crushing humiliation at the polls next month then eventually die in prison.

[Jay 🏳️‍⚧️]

Theory:

The videos and photos released today were staged and taken back on Friday before he left for Walter Reed. The EXIF data on the photo released today was manually edited to make it appear that it's recent when it actually isn't.

If he even has it ...

It might all be a political stunt.

His „team of doctors“ looks like a bunch of actors, similar to the NASA acting team that staged the 1969 moon „landing“.

[politicallefty]

I'm starting to have a suspicion that he's really gravely ill. I'd be more than happy to be wrong and beat him at the ballot box, but something just doesn't feel right.

They manually edited them to be 10 minutes apart?

I'm still not convinced it isn't just the export time, or the download/save time, or something else. But I don't know if it works like that.

Something certainly does not add up but that leaves us with little evidence of what is really happening.

He certainly has a disease that could kill him and that should be being treated more seriously than having him traipsing around the hospital posing for photos.  

[Tender Branson]

Assuming Trump is in fact in a coma right now like his buddy Kim Jong un, is it even necessary  for his doctors to declare him „brain-dead“ ?

I mean, he already was before ...

Republicans should get Alec Baldwin to play Trump.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Trump is already getting better he's sending Tweets out to pass stimulus and confirm Barrett, which are key for him to win reelection

[politics_king]

Well, they say it doesn't get more serious until the 7th to 10th day. So if we think it started Wednesday, then this coming Wednesday to next Sunday they really need to watch him. But yeah, a lot of this doesn't add up and he didn't look too good with the photo ops today.

OC, update software or go back to the previous release, pls xD

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I get the feeling he won't make it past the next month.

Forget 48 hours.The next week is gonna be absolutely critical. If Trump is still in the hospital by next Saturday, I'd be very worried for his outlook.

Boris Johnson was released from hospital after a week, while Herman Cain died a month after being hospitalized



EDIT: And I know campaigning doesn't take priority here, but how the hell can he campaign if he's doesn't get released until 3 weeks before the election? For one, I'm not expecting any more presidential debates regardless of what happens.
