He knows.

He has not a hoax but he has a killer virus. He knows this. His vid showed a very pale and subdued man. His step is slow, halting and unsteady as he walked up and down Marine 1 stairs. He gripped the railings with both hands.

I think he knows that he may never leave Walter Reed under his own power.

I would say, may God rest his soul, yet I don't believe in God anymore than he does.

like he was saying "that's it. Good job. I did it. I walked pass it without fainting."

... I did that a lot myself when I was pregnant, high risk and out of breath. Lol.

Seriously though, I think he barely made that walk.

I want him to stare Covid in the eye and know he’s going down. He’s got that coming. That said, I’m pissed it happened at this moment! I want Joe to kick his ass fair and square on November 3rd. I don’t want Joe to run against Pence and a dead martyred president. I’m conflicted but none of it matters because it is what it is.

I voted against this POS in 2016 and I have been waiting nearly 4 years to do it again!

I want Trump alive and well and defeated in a landslide!

Remember Ken Lay? He was in deep trouble for swindling millions of shareholders. Suddenly he disappeared. Closed casket funeral. "Cremation". Rumor has it that he went to a Caribbean island.

For trump he will be "transferred" to a Black Sea resort area with several golf courses under Putin's gentle watch. Once firmly established there, the WH Chief of Staff will announce his "death".

With all the views hidden by 'copters and I thought I saw a different "lean" and shape to the walking person, I concluded that this was one of those presidential stand-ins like all the spy movies/TV of the 1960s. But I will take another look.

In his video he said "I think I'm okay" I have never seen him exhibit even the slightest bit of vulnerability or doubt, not publicly anyway.

His shoulders were heaving with every intake of breath. He is in real trouble.

Wonder if his tombstone will read Donald J. Trump, the first man to die from a hoax?

He thanked everyone then said, "I'll never forget it"
Kinda sounds like he knows he's not coming back. Yep, he knows.

In other words, a narcissist's nightmare.

Not likely Walter Reed's doctors will cater to his vanity and bullshit.......

Best wishes and good luck to all the innocent White House staff and those operating the presidential vehicles and aircraft.
