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

Just proves everything about the egomaniacs mentality ....

Don't forget that he has been given Dexamethasone. This strong steroid will make you feel as if you can run up Mount Everest, no one on it should have access to the nuclear football.

I think he has really had it but he wants to turn it to his advantage, of course. What new stunt will he pull next? He has everything against him, age, weight etc. but it is said that optimistic people are more likely to get over covid than pessimistic people. Also wealthy people who can afford the best hospitals and doctors. He is nothing if not optimistic and wealthy.

Was it him, thinking Monty's double!

One word - certifiable.

Piers Morgan was interviewing a woman (Patsy someone...) she used to be one of Trumps advisors. She was defending him! I thought Piers and the others were going to burst a blood vessel. She just didn't see the problem! Worth watching on catch up.

Is it all Fake news?

Dorset cupcake.. "If he can now boast about his incredible recovery it doesn't bear thinking about."

I have been trying very hard not to think this is a put up job!

I'm just glad I don't live in America. I don't have family or friends there either.

sandelf Mon 05-Oct-20 10:35:14

This man is a despot who used the system to buy power. Now blaggarding that same system in order to refuse defeat - anyone remember Trotsky and 'The Dictatorship of the Proletariat'? The USA is in a very dangerous position and so are we, having few friends at the moment. What a world.

As the American public might put it “wot a dick”

annemarg Mon 05-Oct-20 10:32:38

Someone I spoke to the other day suggested that maybe he doesn't have it at all and it is just to try and gather more votes and sympathy from the American people. I don't know about that because so many other people would have to be involved, especially the medical people and I shouldn't think principled people would take part in it.

He had tested positive apparently before he did the Sean Hannity interview live at Fox News. The test he said he was "waiting the results" of was a second test.

He'd told one advisor who tested positive "don't tell anyone". The Wall Street Journal quoted an admin official "I'm glued to Twitter and the TV because I have no official communication from anyone in the West Wing".

But he now knows about the virus- it's real knowledge-not gained through books! Though goodness knows how he would be if it wasn't for the doctors who surprise surprise learned some of their skills from books!!
And who cares about a few security staff. He's got an election to win. hmm

suziewoozie Mon 05-Oct-20 10:26:21

I have to say I’m astonished at words like stupid idiot etc being used to condemn him. What would be have to do for some of you to say exactly what he is - eat babies?

Yellowmellow Mon 05-Oct-20 10:26:19

One word ......Spin

suziewoozie Mon 05-Oct-20 10:24:00

The doctor who spoke up was not one of the doctors treating him - the hospital doctors and his WH doctor have at least been obfuscating and at worst lying. They will all end up with innocent blood on their hands. Lucky surely he’s more much more than stupid? GNers in the past have used the word evil to describe some people - surely DT qualifies for that?

Alioop Mon 05-Oct-20 10:21:16

IDIOT!!!! More worried about votes and money than lives.

Oldbat1 Mon 05-Oct-20 10:20:00

What a selfish idiot of a human being. Speechless!

lovebeigecardigans1955 Mon 05-Oct-20 10:01:48

He gets more ridiculous by the day. No wonder America is in such a fix with someone like this in charge.

Greeks called 'hubris' - overweening belief in his own invulnerability. In their dramas, the protagonist was brought down by the gods. I wish....

Preparing the sacrifice even now...will burnt toast suffice?

merlotgran Mon 05-Oct-20 09:50:41

I saw the OP (before anyone else had replied) just as I was going to bed. didn't know what it was about and was tempted to investigate.

I'm glad I didn't. Truly the stuff of nightmares!

It's a puzzle.

White House physician Sean Conley said in a press briefing on Saturday morning that Trump was '72 hours into the diagnosis now'.

Later, Conley issued a statement saying that he meant 'day three'.

As severe symptoms (or some recovery) tend to occur in the second week, it's far too early to tell if he's ill - or how ill he is.

Grannybags Mon 05-Oct-20 09:48:20

He's an idiot even!
