What is Trump's current health?

Remember that Abe Vigoda site? Someone should start one for Individual-ONE.

“Live” interview with trump tonight on Tucker Carlson. Only it wasn’t live, it was filmed. And it was filmed by WH crew (Carlson said FOX wasn’t allowed to send their crew). Supposedly from the Oval Office, but clearly a green screen. FWIW.

27 September (Friday) @ Trump National.
26 September was the SCOTUS announcement thing.
29 September was the debate.

Seems he can be counted on for two golf outings a month.

Sounds like he made a healthy round of media appearances yesterday - if that is any sign. Seems to be well enough to focus on what he has always considered most important.

I’m resigning myself to the fact that come a nuclear holocaust, there will be two species that survive - cockroaches and Trump. And I’m not sure about the cockroaches.

The ones with electric blond hair will.

I would’ve put “healthy” in scare quotes myself.

But those weren’t “appearances.” He was on the phone. And then he was in that White-House produced video that may or may not have been green-screened (several articles this morning disputing that). I forced myself to listen to a bit of the Limbaugh thing, and I admit that trump did sound perfectly okay. He talked nonstop and finally Rush had to rush him off the phone.

Today he’s planning on doing a Mussolini impersonation from the WH balcony. Will the press be allowed? Will outside cameras with powerful zoom capability be allowed?

I hate it.

Guess what my name is. :wink:

He just held a rally before a thousand or two paid attendees* on the WhiteHouse lawn . He spoke for 18 minutes (because that was all the blank tape they had).


*transportation and lodging, at least

Do you have a cite for this?

There might be one.

This just in from WaPo:

In a memo released late Saturday, White House doctor Sean Conley said he assessed that Trump was “no longer considered a transmission risk to others” and that “the assortment of advanced diagnostic tests obtained reveal there is no longer evidence of actively replicating virus.”

The White House, which has provided only limited information about Trump’s health since he was released from Walter Reed on Monday, did not say that Trump has tested negative for the coronavirus, and it did not reveal the results of multiple tests Trump has taken since he got sick.

Sometimes I think those of us who loathe this Administration are too quick to assume the worst when facts are not yet in evidence, but I don’t think it takes any wishful thinking to see that they are hiding the truth here. If Trump was testing negative right now, they could just say so.

Actually I’m not sure what is keeping them from simply lying about it. Is this weaseling in any way morally superior? Hardly. And it’s only going to feed speculation that he’s unwell. At least an outright lie of “he’s fine, has been testing negative since day X” might quell the rumors for a little bit. Instead they are handing ammunition to skeptics who believe they are hiding something - since obviously, they are.

@CairoCarol

My understanding is that the only way you can not test negative but be out of the transmission stage is if it’s been 10 days since you last had symptoms, or 14 days since you tested positive. The former is impossible, so that would suggest Trump tested positive well before the release, by a lot.

Granted, I think it’s more likely the doctor is lying in a way they feel comfortable–blatant lie bad, but maybe compromise the truth a bit. Maybe Trump is past the most infectious stage. But, by saying it this way, they imply a rather large coverup.

The virus has merged its RNA with the ShitGibbon, so it is still there, they just cannot detect it because he tests positive as a viral strain himself.

Your understanding is wrong.

10 days from symptom onset and fever free over 24 hours and improving symptoms. Standard for release from quarantine.

Thanks.

Trucking blacks and Latinos into DC to attend a rally is a bit like shipping coal to New Castle. Although the local variety aren’t likely to give Trump the sort of reception they’re looking for.
