More at him, but once he’s engaged he won’t go away. Anyway, Trump’s behavior is unhinged, even more so. ---

According to Healthline, [Osteopaths are doctors](https://www.healthline.com/health/what-is-an-osteopath). > Like a doctor of medicine (MD), a DO must first earn a bachelor’s degree, followed by four years of medical school. In addition to this traditional education, a DO must receive training in manipulative medicine. > > After graduating from medical school, DOs take a rigorous national licensure exam, which contains the same material as the exam to become an MD. Both kinds of doctor are licensed by state medical examination boards. > MDs generally focus on treating specific conditions with medication. DOs, on the other hand, tend to focus on whole-body healing, with or without traditional medication. ---

We are missing DumpsterFire’s amazing thought process (for some definition of amazing). 1. Get Covid. 2. Go to large rally/fundraiser with rich sycophant donors. 3. Infect everyone. 4. Get self treated with high cost experimental drug cocktail. 5. Offer it to the infected billionaires for (I’m thinking ~$450 million). ---

Two days in hospital? A drug cocktail? I’m still, STILL not believing he had Covid-19 whatsoever. And now I’m starting to doubt the full list of ass-lickers who also tested positive. ---
