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

We'll have to wait and see.

He shouldn't be so cocky. Boris had a serious relapse.

If I remember correctly, Johnson was ill at home for about 10 days before he went into hospital. I wonder if the drugs DT has had might prevent a relapse though?

Get covid - feel 20 years younger!!

He’s going home tonight. Considering 11 of his inner circle have tested positive I hope he’s got the front door key with him. There might be nobody home

Let us hope that this miracle cure will be shared with the world ASAP.

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! 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!

We are all doomed!!!!

Thoughts are with the virus at this difficult time.

Perhaps he doesn’t have Covid and it’s all fake news to get the sympathy vote...............

Artols '' If the progressive Democrats get into power, this country will implode.''

if Trump is elected again, your country will explode - more like.

Caligrandma Mon 05-Oct-20 18:48:03

I disagree. Im Californian. Libs look at that as grandstanding I suppose. 63Million Americans voted for him. Conservatives thought it was an appreciative gesture to those that prayed for him and his First Lady. Far Leftists have a narrative that is hateful. Its extremely obvious. Libs have lost some of their voters because of their hateful speech and hateful actions.

Trumps orders to his 50000 army “go into the polls and watch”. What does that mean and why?

janywoo Mon 05-Oct-20 16:52:39

How many of us would decline a ride with our covid19 infected boss? I would! The ride was sad on many levels, many families couldnt be with their loved ones as they passed away, because they had to be isolated, and this jerk took a joy ride.

suziewoozie Mon 05-Oct-20 16:31:45

That’s a very good point Ladyleft. If you style yourself as leader of the free world, then the free world is entitled to its opinion of how well you’re doing.

Whitewavemark2 Mon 05-Oct-20 16:24:41

True, but he does have his finger on the button?

Watching CNN, a doctor said that the particular cocktail of drugs Trump is on will make him hyperactive and delusional!

Just what the world needs. This is getting surreal.

How will they know?

On holiday 2 years ago, we sat at dinner with an older couple who had voted for Trump. We chatted about politics for a while and I realised the lady didn't understand the difference between America's left and right and ours. To keep it simple, I said that as far I could see it, from right to left it ran like this: Republicans, Conservatives, Democrats, Labour, also mentioning that we had other parties, not just two. She was surprised. I'd like to know what she thinks about Trump now.

I also get the feeling that Socialism is seen as Communism by Republicans, which it isn't. Perhaps that's why they get so het up about the Democrats that they cast as leftist.

So, Americans, please feel free to clarify things for everyone, if you are able.

I have always believed that the American President is open to criticism from the rest of the world, unlike other leaders. The USA is allegedly the leader of the western world and as such has a huge influence on the rest of us. POTUS in my lifetime have generally behaved reasonably well. Some led us into war, others couldn’t get Princess Diana’s name correct. But all of them had a degree of dignity, diplomacy and decorum. trump doesn’t display any of this and his actions are leading the world into mayhem. So yes, we can criticise him.

Sparklefizz Mon 05-Oct-20 16:14:47

I can’t get over that silly comment he made, “I get it. I understand it.” after a couple of days in hospital.

He's trying to turn a negative into a positive and get one over on Joe Biden.

Lucca please don’t put words into my mouth. Where did I employ the term “liberal leftie?” Your choice of words I think. This entire conversation is quite pointless. Nobody is going to change their opinion one way or the other, and I, for one, have no intention of spending my time bandying insults. You’re welcome to do it suziewoozie but not with me.

Huge apologies it was roachwoman who used the term liberal left and I gathered you felt the same. No?
