Trump has COVID-19

The US state apparatus is working normally, probably even more smoothly without the daily commotion emanating from the Oval Office

Not a fan of the NZZ, but hear, hear!

I’ve seen people elsewhere on the net, who have been to Walter Reeds, confirming that it’s filmed there. Apparently the cabinets in the background are pretty distinctive.

How does something sound or look pre recorded?

And the presidential address stage in the hospital suite has been designed (probably in a previous administration) to look presidential and “everything is fine” reassuring. Naturally it looks like the White House.

Who knows what that fixed view camera would show if it panned left or right even a foot?

I’m afraid that some of you are starting to sound like you’re not allowed to make fun of people who believe in Qanon.

Minor, at best.

Some of the backlash, he said, “is way below the belt, it’s not worth acknowledging that. That’s OK. Obviously as a son, as a family member, as an American, it’s upsetting, but it is what it is in the world these days.”

Like, for instance, deriding a father whose son who has struggled with addiction. Trump Jr doesn’t like someone, he calls their son a “crackhead”. Karma’s a bitch, ain’t it?

I agree with your doubt about the location of where the video was shot, but highly disagree with these suggested dates. He was still orange in July and April, after all. He looks almost normal colored for an older white guy in that video.
No matter what happens, I urge you to, to paraphrase, “remember the tangelo.”

Don Jr is upset and lashing out because Biden said that he’s proud of his son.

No specifics. Vague platitudes; no information that sets it in time; nothing that can be checked (he didn’t even mention which world leaders sent him well-wishes). He’s not wearing anything identifiable; he’s clearly reading from a script.

Then again, I guess that’s pretty much every Trump speech, so :man_shrugging:

That’s the best evidence against that I’ve heard. He’s pale in the video, which is consistent with the previous few days.

In my most blasé, woopteedoo voice: “Long live the king.”

Word on the street is that this is his campaign’s undoing, the October surprise that everyone was wondering about. Biden is up in the post debate polls. He displayed a temperament that people liked.

You never know: the Trump campaign is filled with empty soul scoundrels. They might be able to architect something dastardly that disrupts things enough to steal a win. A few key states’ votes suppressed or something so that the reds come out on top. Barring absolutely dirty tricks, it’s looking like curtains for the Trump era.

I can’t wait. I will shout in the street when our new reality comes. A whole lot can happen, but I am so looking forward to that day.

It does have that “hoist by his own petard” sort of vibe.
