Recovering from the virus within a week unbelievable, was it a stunt to get votes with elections due next month .
If it was real he would be in bed with oxygen etc o assist breathing what do you think?

He's already working on his next gig:

Mick, I believe that man is capable of anything. If he has the virus, it seems unlikely he'd be back on his feet. Mind you, he's been pumped full of steroids and they certainly make people feel invincible.

Those who don't have chest problems, breathe without effort, he was putting a lot of effort into his breathing and I bet he's being treated at the White house.

When a person has no chest/lung problems, you hardly notice them breathing, but Trump's ribcage was struggling. He's like most men---won't admit defeat.

Am sure it was real Mick and we don’t know if he is fully recovered ( doubtful) loads of people in his circle at the White House now have Covid.Prince Charles had a mild Covid reaction if you remember earlier in the year.
He was pumped full of all sorts of things recently ( DT) but who knows how he really is, or will be.

Is it possible to have covid for four days and make a full recovery ?

I think a lot of people re uspicious of this one.

It reminds me of a time when, someone I knew was "chatting" on their phone and the phone rang

Perhaps he didn't catch it but has been exposed or will be exposed in the future.

Or a someone else said, he genuinely had it but they pumped him full of things to keep him on his feet that are dangerous in their own right

Starblaze Wed 07-Oct-20 09:18:55

My main takeaway is that, he is blasting coronavirus on his social media platforms as no big deal and easily beatable.

Given the nature of his fans to be very erm... Unwavering and dedicated in their support, he is sending a dangerous and irresponsible message given that the US is well on its way to insane amounts of deaths

I see his Facebook was removed for telling people it was no worse than flu! Not just an idiot but a dangerous one.

DiscoDancer1975 Wed 07-Oct-20 09:23:41

“I’m probably immune“?????, he said on the news last night. What worries me is, this man is very visibly seriously mentally ill. He is just one man, thank goodness, but it’s all the Americans who voted for him, millions of them!! I would hate to be in that country now, as a non supporter. The ‘ most powerful country in the world?’ They’re certainly the most deluded?

Shropshirelass Wed 07-Oct-20 09:25:56

I am very suspicious, FAKE NEWS? If he has had drugs that worked that fast then they should be available to all those poor people who are suffering from this virus, and not have it flaunted in their faces. He is unbelievable in his actions, I do hope he isn't re elected. Remember how vile he was to Hilary Clinton when she had pneumonia and was obviously very ill? He wouldn't know the truth if it hit him in the face.

Toadinthehole Wed 07-Oct-20 09:26:27

You took the words straight out of my mouth Disco

Starblaze Wed 07-Oct-20 09:29:51

I wish I were joking but you can pre order a coin at the white house gift shop to commemorate the event for just 100 dollars

"historic moment in history coin, president Donald J Trump defeats covid"

I may need to go and have a little cry for humanity

lemongrove Wed 07-Oct-20 09:32:18

I can’t see him winning this time around anyway.Last time, nobody really knew how he would be, and Clinton was unpopular ( rightly or wrongly) but this time is very different.
The main thing is that Biden stays well until the election.

Fools and their money soon parted.

Oopsadaisy4 Wed 07-Oct-20 09:35:05

The problem is that he is surrounded by sycophants, who for Political reasons nod and say yes to everything, those that don’t soon find themselves out of a job.
I suspect that they all sign a gagging order so we will never know the truth.

Im sure that he had/ still has Covid, was pumped full of drugs to get him onto the balcony ( the man needs public adoration, or ridicule, as long as it’s publicity) and then is either in bed in the White House or is busy spreading his germs around, he really doesn’t care either way, the public won’t find out.

He is so protected in his job that he really seems to be invincible, let’s hope the voters get him out, but I doubt it.

Smileless2012 Wed 07-Oct-20 09:38:55

I think it's fake news, he never had Covid. If I believed he had, lived in America and had a relative seriously ill with this, I'd be demanding that my relative be given the exact same treatment he has supposedly received.

BJ received the same treatment as anyone else; Trump should have received the same treatment made available to every other American.

NotSpaghetti Wed 07-Oct-20 09:42:48

Starblaze, this is no longer an official gift shop and has no longer any connections with the White House.

I made the mistake of thinking it does too but actually they parted company some years ago.

That said, someone must be buying this useless celebratory paraphernalia or it wouldn't be worth making!

EllanVannin Wed 07-Oct-20 09:47:15

Has he made any further speeches since being discharged ?

Starblaze Wed 07-Oct-20 09:50:49

Notspaghetti thank you

"historical moment in history" just sounded so Trumpesque lol

dayvidg Wed 07-Oct-20 09:52:43

Does anyone listen to the science, rather than the fear? It is known that for over 70's the recovery rate is over 94%; for under 60's over 99%. Many people have to be tested to discover if they have the virus, as for most people they will have little or no symptoms.

Urmstongran Wed 07-Oct-20 09:53:14

He seemed breathless didn’t he so I think he’s got it. He feel great only because he’s on steroids right now. My friend who has a bad chest with MS often needs inhalers and when very bad, steroids. She always says she feels amazing when she’s had a course (for a short time anyway).

I still think Trump will win the election on 3 November.

JenniferEccles Wed 07-Oct-20 09:54:19

Yet another conspiracy theory.
Oh dear.

Whilst I agree that it’s not certain how well he is recovering, it’s ridiculous to claim that the whole thing was fabricated.

Those claiming that must also believe that the entire medical staff at the military hospital were in on it too.

Is that what you really believe?

Starblaze Wed 07-Oct-20 10:02:52

Keeping an open mind on my part, it's just more interesting that way
