Trump is going to spend the next four weeks getting shot full of steroids and amphetamines so he has the energy to campaign, isn't he? This is basically Late Hitler.

And he wanted Biden to get a a drug test for performance enhancers!

Trump better not die before the election, after the election, he can die for all I care.

To repeat myself from a little earlier:

Both the public and the press should abandon these briefings as a sham. We're not going to get any honest info out of anything touched by the Trump administration. Instead, we can simply observe the actions of the Trump campaign/administration to determine the current state of Mr. Trump's health.

If he's healthy enough to campaign in some fashion, he will be campaigning as much as he can.

If he's not healthy enough to campaign but not in immediate danger, he'll be in the hospital (or maybe confined to the White House).

If Donald Trump is on a ventilator (or other life support),  Mike Pence becomes Acting President.

If Mike Pence takes the Oath of Office and becomes President, then Donald Trump is dead.


That's all we're going to get until after the election.

Oh god, imagine the chaos if Trump dies on October 30...

How soon before he’s out campaigning again?

And I think at least the second presidential debate should be canceled.  I would say Biden should decline the invitation but then the media would probably just let Trump do a town hall for 90 minutes.  But if Biden goes, Trump could infect him.

Besides that, Trump could infect the moderators and the audience/staff.  Do the debate over Zoom or don’t do it.

Biden should demand that all attendees wear a mask at all times, and if they refuse, then he should decline to do the debate.

This person is ignorant of HIPAA laws. Just because it's a press conference about the President's health, the doctor isn't authorized to tell everything and anything. There is something called "minimum necessary," basically saying the doctor can reveal only the bare minimum that is necessary for a certain purpose. Like if you're in the hospital unconscious, the doctor can tell your family basic info about how you're doing; but he can't tell everything.

The reason he can't tell them specifics is because Trump has not authorized him to do so. What's Trump hiding?

If it's going to happen, I prefer fate imitates that season 7 episode of The West Wing and have him expire on election night with the polls still open in half the country. Now *that's* a recipe for chaos!

Does nobody on her campaign realize how poorly that tweet is going to age?

Given that it's basically mocking all of the people who have died of COVID I would argue it's already quite terrible.

How come the president's physician is not an actual MD?

I got be honest If trump want to play around with his own heath than so be it
that is between him and his so called doctor. The part that I do care about is the fact that the same doctor will not say when Trump last had a negative COVID test.

Its one thing to put his own life at risk
Its another to put the lives of other people in danger

Honestly if was Biden I would not want to be anywhere near trump or his family and I defiantly would not want to share a debate stage with him

Why is everyone so convinced he'll relapse?

Why is everyone so convinced he'll relapse?

Because there is no recorded chronic case of COVID that has a result in less than a week, even among the healthiest and youngest.

That would make Biden look weak.. He can't risk it. Should just do what Harrison did and put up a glass barrier.

But that doesn't mean his health is guaranteed to get worse again.

You've got to be joking. Making attendees wear a mask so a deadly virus doesn't spread is "weak"? Stop following the GOP propaganda.
