Did this really happen or have I fallen down the rabbit hole?

His doctors did lie over the weekend - it’s documented. Also it’s a military hospital, the doctors are serving officers and he is their Commander in Chief. In recent years ( and at least once during this pandemic)some UK doctors who are sports club doctors ( rugby/football/ cycling ) have behaved in the clubs interests and not followed medical ethics. If they do that, how much more likely is it that DTs doctors are dancing to his tune?

Did this drive-by of Trump in his hermetically sealed vehicle really happen, or was it a skit from Spitting Image??! Or maybe I was dreaming it?! The crass stupidity of Trump knows no bounds!! And as for telling us not to be afraid of COVID - unbelievable! He’s a dangerous and deluded man.

Best case scenario he might learn some humility. It is not happening. He is as many have said a brash braggart. He could, however be tempting fate, that he thinks he is above. If he has a relapse it is on his own head and I don’t think anyone is going to have any sympathy.

Isn't there an amendment that they use in America when they think the President is no longer fit for purpose???

I think they need to use it if there is, and pretty quickly, Trump needs a mental health assessment!!!!

Iam64 I wouldn’t have been surprised if it was a stunt if it hadn’t been for the fact that so many of his entourage have tested positive. I think 12 so far. Also a large medical team would all need to be in collusion.
He may have been one of the fortunate ones to experience a mild dose. Or he may be one of those very unfortunate patients who will require emergency hospital admission and possible intensive care around the 7-10 days stage. As his doctor said yesterday he’s not out of the woods yet.

GrannyGravy13 I think you’re absolutely right. What are his advisors thinking of or does he just not listen to them? He removed his mask in full view of the world’s media and walked into the Whitehouse. The remaining WH staff who haven’t already been infected by him must have been diving for cover.

Iam64 Tue 06-Oct-20 08:37:52

It's like watching the USA unravel. He is deluded and dangerous, as most of us agree. I go further than GrannyGravy - his message isn't that Covid is no more dangerous than the flu, he seems now to suggest its no worse than a bad cold.
I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist. I certainly believe that Mr Johnson was very ill. Is it possible that Trump is prepared to lie about this? Yes it is but surely he couldn't get his doctors to lie?

GrannyGravy13 Tue 06-Oct-20 08:30:36

POTUS is grandstanding to his adoring fans, giving out the message that he is invincible and that Covid-19 is no more dangerous than the flu.

He is deluded and dangerous, I feel the few remaining WH staff who haven’t contracted Covid as the likelihood is they sure will soon!!

suziewoozie Tue 06-Oct-20 08:06:36

There’s only one thing that DT deserves to happen to him now and I hope it does. He is a wicked wicked evil man. You can’t call yesterday’s leaving of the hospital stupid or idiotic. He knew exactly what he was doing and what he was aiming to achieve.

Just seen your last post ,*WW*. I was about to use the very same words!

Dorsetcupcake61 Tue 06-Oct-20 06:42:42

Its unbelievable. My biggest concern is they will re elect him.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 06-Oct-20 02:12:10

Just saw a short clip of Trump on the WH balcony, he was labouring to breath, and without a mask. This man needs sectioning.

MayBee70 Tue 06-Oct-20 01:30:47

Just saw him on tv: The Telegraph are running with a headline similar to that as well. How irresponsible.

Callistemon Tue 06-Oct-20 00:14:25

Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

He makes it sound like a rejuvenating elixir.
I suppose the families of the 214,960+Americans who have already died from the virus feel a lot better after hearing that.

Grannynannywanny Tue 06-Oct-20 00:04:05

Well he’s clearly learned nothing from it all. He’s landed back at the Whitehouse, stood on the doorstep and posed for the cameras. Then removed the mask and walked inside. Too bad for any staff who he hasn’t already infected.
Melania should have changed the locks while he was away!

Callistemon Mon 05-Oct-20 23:58:42

it beggars belief that he even got voted in; but that people are still willing to vote for him...........what can I say?
Listen to the man shouting on the ITV news report, Luckygirl - he's "willing to to die for that man" (ie Trump), he shouted.

Yes, beggars belief.

MawB2 it may have taken the brassiness from his hair but it’s unlikely it’s taken it from his neck

Frankly would anybody want the responsibility of treating Trump for Covid?
No wonder they threw the entire pharmacopoeia at him!

It’s certainly taken the brassiness from his hair.?

And faded his permatan!

Urmstongran - he won't have random people/medics popping in and out as I understand that Walter Reed is a military facility.

25Avalon Mon 05-Oct-20 22:21:56

He is supposed to be leaving hospital and trumpeting about how great he is and how wonderful he is responsible for cures that mean you don’t need to fear Covid. To all those who predicted this you were right.

MayBee70 Mon 05-Oct-20 22:07:14

I would imagine he demanded it.

I'm in the down the rabbit hole group here but, I think earlier today I heard Mr T had been given strong steroids, amongst his cocktail of drugs.
The idea of that man buzzing on steroids makes life even more scary. No wonder he feels better than he did 20 years ago!
He's so dangerous, he lies, he's stupid, arrogant, delusional and if he is returning to the White House, I hope the military lock the door to the room with the red button in it

suziewoozie Mon 05-Oct-20 21:43:27

There aren’t going to be any winners are there?
