Asked about this in the Pit thread, probably should have posted here - the CNN story about this interview says

He called into Fox Business from the White House residence, where he continues taking a steroid as part of his Covid treatment.

I can’t find anything else confirming this, do we know this definitively, other than the circumstantial evidence of his more-than-usually deranged behavior? It seems very strange that he is still on steroids when his doctor claimed he is recovering and symptom-free.

It’s not really strange if you make the reasonable assumption that he and the doctor are both lying. :lying_face:

Sure, but what I’m trying to make sense of is that the CNN story is claiming that he’s known to be on steroids as part of his prescribed current treatment for COVID. That makes no medical sense if he’s recovering and symptom-free, as his doctor claimed. Has his doctor (or anyone else) confirmed that he’s currently on steroids?

Well, whaddaya expect from the New England Journal of Medicine? New England is full of libs. What does the far more neutral and trustworthy Alabama Journal of Medicine say?

Stable genius.

Uh huh.

This is the guy who has access to “the football.” Just . great.

As I said in another thread, the military may have no choice but to start thinking of ways to openly defy orders from the CiC. A terrible new low for the president and presidency.

Meanwhile, Michigan gun nuts gonna’ go gun nuts.

We’re lucky that these aren’t the sharpest pencils in the box.

I think there are enough layers between Trump and nuclear armageddon that I’m not really worried about that. But I’m deeply concerned about him trying to escalate something with China. This narcissist blames China for COVID and his current dire straits, and now COVID has got to him personally.

I’m hoping that the timing of these comments by O’Brien is just coincidence

You don’t just stop taking steroids. You have to wean off of them.

Why did Trump’s doctor claim that? Because he’s detected COVID antibodies – antibodies which had been injected into Trump! It’s those “found ballots” all over again.

It’s funny you mention that article because this is not unlike a thought I had earlier today in which he essentially blames China for infecting him as if it were part of some plot.

Look, if Trump believes this loony tunes conspiracy that’s one thing, but if he millions of MAGAbots believe it, that’s a problem, and I have no doubt that people, from hackers in Moscow Oblast to paranoid right wing kooks in Idaho, are busy weaving tales of woe for Orange Julius Caesar himself.

Well, what his doctors said at the weekend sounded like a dose or two of dex on Fri/Sat. I don’t think that would require a taper to wean off them. But not much about his treatment has been typical anyway.

I was really just asking if his doctors or anyone else at the WH has admitted that he’s on a continuing course of steroids, or if CNN is mistaken in that.

Like the one that is supposed to be crashing into the Earth on election day?

Narcissists get extremely vindictive when they feel personally attacked. I think in his unhinged state he could easily be thinking of this as though it’s an “assassination attempt” by China.

Trump is taking ass steroids?

Careful what ideas you touch on. Some bear troubling imagery. Individual-ONE has been hoarding the bleach.

He also realizes that he’s not only losing a popularity contest with voters, he’s beginning to lose his ability to manipulate the outcome, which he’s always been able to do.

And he knows that this time, there could be real consequences. New president = new attorney general (read: a REAL attorney general). :laughing: New president = new IRS commissioner. :rofl: A real attorney general means real investigations at the federal and state level. :joy: :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

And that…means a real prison cell. :sunglasses:

Came in here to post this. This is what you get when your leader encourages white supremacists. They feel emboldened to storm the Capital or shoot up vacation homes and put duly elected leaders “on trial for treason.” The usual obscenities are not strong enough for these pieces of human garbage.

Any minute now Trump will say “very fine people…governor should reach out…” etc. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :rage:

Plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
