I am doubtful of this - doesn’t it take many days longer to get to serious enough to need to go to the hospital? This feels like a crazy rumor flying. But PLEASE keep us posted if it’s true and you hear more.

Typically yes, but if the disease does progresse this rapidly, he is extremely sick.


He could have been sick for a few days already.

Also, if an obese 74 year old man who is the leader of a country has covid, why wouldn’t you want him in a hospital?? I’m surprised he isn’t there already tbh.


maybe it was Melania's strong suggestion...

She also suggested via a PSA to wear a mask. Seems he only listens to his other wife, I mean his daughter, Ivanka.

There’s multiple scenarios at play.

If there’s enough GOP Senators out sick, Dems could control the Senate floor. Dems outmaneuvered McConnell just a couple days ago and forced a vote on preexistong conditions because there were no GOP Senators on the floor to stop them.


Current composition of Judiciary Committee is 12 GOP, 10 Dems. With Lee out, GOP are down to 11. One more sick GOP Senator from Judiciary and ACB can’t get out of the Judiciary Committee.

I mean, this is crazier than any movie!
Can’t they just put it on the floor for a vote?

Would require a floor vote to change the rules first, and they may not have the votes for that.

This is why he needs to recover. His ass needs to go to jail for all his crimes against the USA.


Not ONE person has rooted for his death. For once, the entire thread has been discussion on how to support the American public given that the flying monkey circus has now been left with no clue on who to fling poo to wirh their ring leader falling ill.

He will likely recover but I think it is going to be a long recovery.


There is not one post in this thread rooting for his death?


The vast majority don't seem to be. Personally, I'd rather he got seriously ill, and recovered. Maybe he'll develop some empathy that way.

Also, death is the easy way out. He needs to rot in jail, before he rots in hell (if there is such a thing).

You expect too much. More than likely, his attitude would be, "I got over it, so can you", not realizing (no surprise) that as POTUS he has access to the best doctors and care this world can offer, unlike the rest of us.

Well, he started showing symptoms Wednesday at the earliest, which is still a very quick progression, and you actually don't want someone with mild symptoms in a hospital because they don't need that amount of care and their risk of getting a secondary infection is higher in the hospital. Also, in terms of optics, I am sure Trump would not want to go to the hospital unless it was medically necessary.


didn't they put Boris Johnson in pretty early?

I don't think it was this early, but stil he almost died and he still has not fully recovered.

I know DH is rooting for a painful death.

Right. Current rules require a SC nominee to testify and be approved by Judiciary Committee. They would need to change the Senate rule to skip those steps. If Grassley gets sick, ACB is delayed until after the election.

He'll probably fake his death and then make a run for Russia.

Do they need 50 or 60 votes to do it?

I think he is going to have a mild case of COVID, I despise Trump but to me he looks as strong as an Ox.

I just read this and thought "listen for helicopters." Sure enough, there was one in the distance. CCDC. It's a police helicopter.

President Trump is showing symptoms of the novel coronavirus, but mild ones, according to two people familiar with his condition.

The president, who said on Thursday night that he had tested positive for the virus, has had what one person described as coldlike symptoms. At a fund-raiser he attended at his golf club at Bedminster, N.J., on Thursday, where one attendee said the president came in contact with about 100 people, he seemed lethargic.

A person briefed on the matter said that Mr. Trump fell asleep at one point on Air Force One on the way back from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday night.

He fell asleep on a plane? OMG, NO!!


Do you realize the schedule he keeps? Now compare that with Biden.


DP. Remember that Trump is a short sleeper who doesn't need more than a couple hours of sleep at night.

Or did you not know that?

Not wishing ill, just saying we are all mortal, he is no exception. Some young, healthy people have had terrible complications. I would be very afraid if this were my 73 year old dad for example.

A friend posted this on Facebook an hour ago: "What the flying f is going on with all the helicopters on the Hill today? It's insane."

One of the responses was "Same here is NW. Presidential helicopters (3 big ones flying low) all day. Back and forth. Back and forth. At one point they circled low over our house for 25 minutes."

A little surprised more people haven't mentioned this actually. If it's all 3 presidential helicopters, they're transporting POTUS.

May not look as great for people with comorbidities.



Also, saying “interesting factoid” makes you sound like a douche. I say that fully understanding that this was maybe your intentions all along.



But what about her "kidneys?" If she has kidney problems or surgically inserted foreign objects in her body she may have a compromised immune system. It's like people can't remember two years back when she was hospitalized for a couple of weeks.
