Why would they do that, unless he's really sick? Walter Reed is like 10 miles away; if it is precautionary, wouldn't they just drive him?


They could drive him without him being seen. If they airlifted, news cameras would get footage of him being loaded onto Marine One. I'm sure they'd drive.


What, no! They'd have to drive him in the Beast. Everyone would know. Though, I agree that everyone would know about helicopter too, since it would be the 3.

You think they can hide the presidential motorcade? It’s not subtle. The motorcycles darting from intersection to intersection kind of stop traffic.

Mike Lee just tested positive.


Can half the senate GOP test positive and cannot confirm Barrett before the end of the year! Wow, that would be Karma!


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.


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.


Couldn't McConnell just change committee assignments and replace any CV+ Senators?

However he leaves, it would be leaked immediately.

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


OMG there’s a HELICOPTER IN THE AIR!!!!!! NEAR RUSH HOUR!


Wheeling him out in a gurney to a helo would not be good press for him.


Right. If he goes to Walter Reed in a helicopter, it means he’s strong enough to walk himself out to the lawn in front of the press. I wouldn’t be surprised by Trump doing this in order to project strength.

If they don’t want him to seen by the press, then they pull the motorcade into the privacy tent near the WH door. If there’s a motorcade, he’s in real trouble.

No, just saying there'd be no images of a sick president, which would matter to Trump. He wouldn't want anyone to see him looking sick.

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.


I always watch Nicolle Wallace's show, and she ends it with a profile of one or two Covid victims. There have been a number of people profiled who got sick and and died within a few days.

Kinda too late for that. trump has always looked sick.

It is weird that he hasn't been seen all day, if his symptoms are as mild as he's saying they are. You'd think he would want to make sure people see him ok - if, for no other reason, to keep the Dow from panicking.

IF this is true, I hope he suffers enough to need a ventilator but doesn’t die in office. I don’t give a crap what happens to Melania.

Does anyone know the last time he went 14 hours without tweeting? Especially during the day?


It has not happened in four years. One of his staffers should be able to crawl to his phone and pose as him, if they too are not too sick.

Now they are saying "low grade fever"

Yesterday, he was asymptomatic. This morning, it was "cold-like" and now this.

It can ramp quickly. I hope he doesn't die or become permanently disabled from this, but, he is not exactly in a low-risk category.

Marine One is huge and makes a lot of noise, and it's always accompanied by at least one other helicopter.

We're near the path to Walter Reed, so it's likely we'll hear it.

If they want to be discreet about it, they'll drive him there in an unmarked car in the middle of the night, to buy him a few hours before it's all over the news.

I encourage his entourage to get him to Walter Reed if or as soon as he gets short of breath, to receive supplementary oxygen, because as we all know, these cases can spiral rapidly.

I agree. To me “mild symptoms” mean the person is out and about with intervals for rest. He doesn’t have the discipline to not tweet for 14+ hours if he is doing okay. But at the same time, he barely got it and someone can’t get super sick right away. This is all so weird.

But I thought he was taking hydroxychloroquine????? Hmmm. I guess we should all get bottles of bleach and surround the white house gates with bleach and needles.
