1. They should install a Trump-Cam in his bedroom...

like they have when pandas are pregnant.

5. LOL

Do we....REALLY want to see him roaming around in a robe?

Very funny.

[Karma13612]

14. If what they say is true,

I actually doubt he is doing much roaming.

But, I get your point!

[Marius25]

2. We have no idea who this is though.

How do they know about his health? Is someone in the hospital talking to reporters?

[42bambi]

3. He is not on oxygen, so I WANT SOMEONE TO ASK IF HE IS ON A VENTILATOR. nt

9. If he were on a vent, Pence would have to assume his duties, we would know that.

[Grasswire2]

13. I don't know if they would tell us. nt

6. It's more likely to be a White House source speaking to the WH press corps

Steven Portnoy is also reporting this:

16. There's a strong possibility it is Mark Meadows:

4. I wonder if these guy/gals are finally comprehending this is not about politics, but

a highly contagious virus that can kill you and even if you recover there is no guarantee you will be completely healthy again. Their ignorance and egos, beyond belief.

[Chainfire]

7. I am not sure we can believe a damn thing

until we either see him walk back into the White House or we see his flag-draped coffin. It is a damn shame, but that his how much I trust his administration and his government backup system.

[Maeve]

8. He was just diagnosed and they are talking about "full recovery"?

Good lord, do they think this is a sit-com that wraps up in 23 minutes??

[Mike 03]

10. It is ridiculous, because most people who have been paying attention by now

know that the really thorny period is somewhere around Day 7/8 - Day 11-14, and we're only two or three days in.

A certain percentage of people "get better" around Day 7 (or so) and then get rapidly much worse.

[Mike 03]

11. CNN is now reporting this exact quote too (9:40 PST). nt

[Grasswire2]

12. ventilator, soon if not already

He deteriorated fast, evidently.

14. I bet it was Chief of Staff Mark Meadows who was the source for this

looking for my post

17. I wonder if they have him in prone position, face down on his ample gut.

Apparently the best position for breathing.

18. I listened to the doctors for about 2 minutes.

That's all I could take. They weren't going to give us any real information.
