A couple of weeks ago she also said anyone that gets COVID at a Trumo rally is either a paid leftist or its a hoax.

Masked singer?

What?

Oh shit. Trump is being taken to Walter Reed!

BillyMadison 10-02-2020 04:18 PM

I was just going to post a prediction that Trump would end up at Walter Reed within 48 Hours....





ISiddiqui 10-02-2020 04:23 PM

Someone who is deathly afraid of seeming weak isn't going to the hospital out of "an abundance of caution".

Coffee Warlord 10-02-2020 04:33 PM

Wonder if he invokes the 25th tonight.

JediKooter 10-02-2020 04:33 PM

So they helicoptered him to Walter Reed. Is that normal? Thought it wasn't that far and they could have driven him there.

molson 10-02-2020 04:35 PM

I'm surprised that we know about any of this - the positive test, the reports of symptoms, and the hospital trip. I don't know if this is good journalism, a Trump strategy, or internal anti-Trump strategy. (Or, much less likely, they're just trying to keep America informed).

stevew 10-02-2020 04:35 PM

He’s going there to visit wounded troops

thesloppy 10-02-2020 04:37 PM

He is literally the last person on Earth who should be taking some kind of fringe experimental therapy, right??

Normally I would just take the route of Occam's Razor, but, he has lied so much over the decades, I can't decide if it's just another lie or he really has it.

We used to know most everything about the President's health. After Ike's heart attack his cardiologist gave daily briefings. When Reagan was shot we got regular briefings from his doctors. It's a national security issue to keep things under wraps when it's probable that rumors will get out.

Meh.

He brought this on himself. I don't feel bad.

Once again, if he had just adopted a rational common sense approach instead of rallies, no masks, and mocking, he might be coasting into a 2nd term.

Being willfully ignorant has never earned the mercy of nature.

bhlloy 10-02-2020 04:48 PM

I don’t think you can fly the president to Walter Reed without the press knowing about it. So you either communicate it or people go nuts with speculation?

This is just insane though. As if 2020 and this election couldn’t get any wilder. If you thought the results were going to be considered illegitimate by 40% of the country before...

Ryche 10-02-2020 04:55 PM

An experimental treatment that's only in phase 3 doesn't seem like something you give the President unless it's a lot more than "very moderate"

bhlloy 10-02-2020 04:56 PM

Yeah, and the cut in on ABC had the founder of the company on and he said it was a high dose as well

Probably not a good thing he is going to Walter Reed

I don't think it's a big deal, but suspending the campaign is crazy when the Trump campaign isn't suspending.

Ben E Lou 10-02-2020 05:22 PM


PilotMan 10-02-2020 05:22 PM

Here's the thing. The left has been dealing with the purest exploitation of power from the republican party since before 2016, and almost exclusively since the election. There has been no good will built up, it's only about, I can do it, and I will. That is the only sort of response that should be generated. You do not defeat a bully by letting them off the hook. You do it by humbling them, and if they manage to come to their senses before you finish them off you give them one chance to redeem themselves and walk away. That's it.

That actually could be a very good move. Let's be honest, Trump's base will not desert him and it will have no impact on voters he already has in his pocket. Same for those already on Biden's side.

Given Trump's debate performance, which was abhorrent, and turned a lot of people off. Doing this plays well with those undecided voters who are just looking for for something to tip who they favor and a move like this comes off as both classy and presidential. This will assuredly pull more voters Biden's way, than continuing to hammer him on things related to the virus if Trump gets gravely ill. Instead use Covid-19 related ads to focus on what Biden will do to tackle it.

I just think people in general that are not already in Trump's pocket are sick of the circus and could see a move like this as compelling.

If it's one thing we know about media these days, they take the weekend off.

BYU 14 10-02-2020 05:27 PM

And dola, definitely don't completely suspend the whole campaign. He needs to get here to Arizona and Florida.

If you take the facts at face value, good move. Within 24 hours Trump has gone from fine, positive, mild symptoms, fatigued, hospital...

This is fast - no need for negative adverts given this trajectory, campaign on positive messages, but it could backfire very easily if you continue denigrating Trump

Ksyrup 10-02-2020 05:34 PM

You know, if this plays out just right for the GOP, this could work out really well. Trump is diminished just enough that he is persuaded to step away from the nomination (saving him from the embarrassment of losing as a bonus), Pence takes his place, and tens of thousands of conservative-leaning voters who would never vote for Trump suddenly shift to the GOP/Pence. And McConnell continues along on his merry way as Senate majority leader/puppet master.

Ben E Lou 10-02-2020 05:36 PM

He seems better than I thought he would.

I kind of disagree. Not the sure-fire confident language he usually uses: "I think I'm doing OK"?!? What is that? I mean I also wasn't expecting him on a stretcher but that language plus the report that he was "spooked" by the oncoming symptoms through the night and today seems like he's getting Goliathed by this...

BillyMadison 10-02-2020 06:12 PM

Did..... Trump "take a dose" of a drug to get it into a Press Release and boost their stock...? I wouldn't put it past him.



spleen1015 10-02-2020 06:17 PM

How bad would it be for the country, the world, etc if he died next week from this?

Honestly... not as bad as if he was reelected. There, I said it.

Given that a significant part of the Trump wing of the GOP is already basically equating this to a declaration of war by China, pretty fucking awful would be my guess.

GrantDawg 10-02-2020 06:26 PM

I think Pence may bring back some never-Trumpers to vote Republican. But, I think there are many only-Trumpers that probably would not vote. All of this is speculation. There could be a real rebound for the Republicans because of the loss. Or, there could be real lack of interest without him.

Well, for most important Election in the history of the WORLD, I would definitely limit multiplying donations to the next hour only... I mean, most important in the WORLD, but only for the next 60 minutes
