Trump and Melania test positive for COVID-19

Being on supplemental oxygen before transport, particularly by helicopter, means very little when it comes to gauging the severity of the case.

Some paper said his vital signs were bad for a few minutes and again, it is hard to interpret without more information, if it is true.

Dick Cheney was not the president. I think these guys have orders to take certain actions no matter what the president tells them, but conceivably the president could have those orders changed before another incident. Doctors will be acting as always and not asking permission first if they believe some critical treatment is necessary.

Then attack her for what she actually says or does. Attacking someone for having a foreign accent just makes you look like a bigot whether you are one or not. The problem is not her accent it’s how she conducts herself.

I’m not convinced she ever wanted to be First Lady, I’m not sure she wants it now. I think she was happy being a private trophy wife in New York City. She wasn’t the one who sought the spotlight.

Those with a real familiarity with Germany in the 1930’s, and the demagoguery of their leader, do see the parallels with Trump. Those familiar with that era also see the parallels with Neville Chamberlain, Britain’s Prime Minister as Germany readied itself for world domination.

Appeasement was Chamberlain’s go-to move.

Chamberlain had the strong support of “Papa” Joe Kennedy who was our Ambassador in England at the time and openly sought the Presidency.

We all know how appeasement worked out vis-a-vis the Third Reich.

History will judge that Trump’s poor decisions, legendary arrogance, and insane preoccupation with re-election underlay horrible misjudgments that brought needless suffering to our people, their personal fortunes, and the nation’s economy.

Trump essentially invoked appeasement in the face of a global pandemic.

At least, when told that “our nation is under attack,” George W. Bush only spent seven minutes reading ‘My Pet Goat.’

He also looked exhausted towards the end. During the debate, I was chatting on-line with friends and commented that I was watching to see if he collapsed.

Huh - was the mask to hide the cannula? Is that why he willingly wore one?

I saw a close-up image with arrows. It looks a LOT like he had something bulky in his pocket and a tube hidden under the mask.

If that really is a secret oxygen tank, that seems immensely stupid to put it on his right side which was facing the press pool and all their cameras. While I can believe Trump is that stupid, I would think someone in the WH would realize that it would be better placed on his left side where the cameras wouldn’t see it.

I don’t know, but I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that was the case.

Along with everyone else, I don’t know what his course is going to be. A majority of people, even those his age and weight, do okay. But two days or three it is early. Those who crump usually do so in the second week, often the end of the second week, not day two or three.

No word on Rudy? He was in the same prep room with Trump Christie was in.

Stealing…

If you can’t see your own reflection in a mirror, can you actually contract COVID ?

Bats are the main reservoir…

If it has not been mentioned, they can give him any drug that is FDA approved, even if it’s not approved for Covid. All Drs can give a drug for any use . If a drug is not yet approved he could possibly get it under what’s called compassion use if things are looking bad.

They already gave him experimental monoclonal antibodies under “compassionate use”.

Also, his WH doctor is an Osteopath. A warm glass of high calcium milk before bed will fix him right up.

And Darkness and Decay and Covid-19 held illimitable dominion over all.

Donald Trump is getting what’s coming to him.

As an atheist, even I will join in that prayer:

If there is a Christian god I implore you to treat Donald J. Trump by the words of your sacred book, Romans 2: 5-6 and reward him according to his deeds
