Trump has COVID-19

I don’t know what a “very moderate” case means. That is pretty much a meaningless statement. It certainly seems to imply he has gotten worse, but nothing that could be quantifiable.

I guess he’s dropping out of the London Marathon too.

Soon we’ll be hearing statements like “the President is currently resting with a very mild coma.”

First, I cannot dismiss the possibility that this is a ruse. Supporters of the President will likely perform the extreme mental gymnastics to invert this development into a show of strength, stability, heroism and resolve on behalf of the President. The tweet refers to “COVID-19” rather than the “CHINA VIRUS”. That doesn’t sound like him. Is this a tweet by committee?

Second, the claim that “We will get through this TOGETHER!” is particularly galling coming from one who thus far has not uttered a single word of acknowledgement, compassion or support for those who have already suffered as a result of COVID-19"(which, like a miracle, will just go away one day). No Mr. President, my thoughts and prayers will continue to not include you. You made your sickbed, now lie in it. We all know how you like to lie.

Four years ago I would point out that—regardless of anything else we knew about him—nobody who said that he’d “bring back waterboarding” and “a lot worse than waterboarding” and that “torture works” and “if it doesn’t work, they deserve it anyway”—no such person is fit for any public office

What’s next? Resting comfortably on a ventilator?

My guess is the deterrent in not for an attack on the US, but on one of the US’ allies. A sort of “Just because the president it ill, Kim Jong, don’t think you can start something with South Korea…”

This is ripe for a new “reality TV show plot.” Or a(n) SNL opening scene.

Scene one:
Trump wakes up on a hospital bed in a hospital gown in a large post-surgical recovery room. The orderlies are wearing prison uniforms.

He notes there are bars on the windows, and a lone TV on the wall.

On the TV, the oath of office is taking place with Joe Biden becoming the next president. Pence is nowhere to be seen and the outgoing President Pelosi is in view. The Oath of Office is being administered by (Chief?) Justice Barak Obama. Ivanka Melina Trump is thanked by Pelosi for saving the country by turning states evidence.

On set director: “CUT!”

The whole thing turns out to be a ruse and Trump is actually on a reality TV show, and unable to quit…

Instead, they’re talking EVEN MORE about the president’s super-stupid, shitty covid-19 response and how it likely exposed his fat, ancient ass and those of the people he interacts with and “cares” about to the virus. This may be strategery, but if so, it’s been designed by an absolute idiot.

Kanye might still be up for it?

Kidding! I was thinking, “I’ll have a go. At this point, the bar is so low, I might even do okay.” And I actually care about people and the environment and like to surround myself with people smarter than myself and listen to them, so probably wouldn’t do much worse right?
I’d already have a great set of cabinet picks from the bbs :wink:

And that makes me think Trump is nowhere near Twitter. Wouldn’t he have the very BEST case? The case like no one’s seen before, ever? Moderate doesn’t seem to fit within his usual scale of measurement…
