What's the story with Wilbur Ross?

[malaise]

Word is that he is seriously ill. This article is almost two weeks old

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/18/politics/wilbur-ross-hospital/index.html

Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has been hospitalized with what a department spokesperson said was "minor, non-coronavirus related issues."

Ross, 82, is "doing well," the spokesperson said, and they anticipate Ross will be released from the hospital "soon."
CNN has asked for additional details.
Ross was picked for his post in November 2016 and was confirmed the following February. He was a vocal supporter of then-candidate Donald Trump leading up to the 2016 election.

1. I don't wish anyone ill, but...

that's one story that is overdue for an ending.

[malaise]

2. He's already ill without our ill will

Just saying

[Maeve]

11. Darlin', he's been ill a long, long time

And I don't mean physically...also saying

And I'm stealing the phrase underpants used in this thread, too!

3. Oh, you mean "one of the biggest grifters in American history"? That Wilbur Ross?

6. That one

He must be preparing to take it all with him - oh wait he can't

10. Somehow or other, he had grifted himself into the leadership of a bank in Cyprus??

And worked with Manafort, with some questionable transactions, thru the newly-elected, Russian-backed President of Ukraine, to launder money thru that bank. Anyway, Wilbur Ross went from there to his present position in the Trump Administration.

4. He's like Monty Burns without the warmth

12. Didn't they say the same thing about Herman Cain:

"Ross will be released from the hospital "soon.""

[malaise]

14. Precisely why I asked

Cain was also released in a morbid way.

16. A lot of old autocrats, doing stupid things.

This might just be the beginning.

[malaise]

18. I have neither thoughts nor prayers for any of them

17. Ross should be in prison.

I think he would work in the prison laundry. I hear he's good at laundering.
When the truth comes out, can he be indicted post mortem?

19. Wash wash - wash all my troubles away

[panader0]

20. Thanks for that.

A great way to start my day.

26. I never heard it before, but now it's an ear worm. I'll be wash washing all day.
