1. Here we go.... THe truth always comes out

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. So he could walk to the chopper

[Stuart G]

6. Yes, that is why. I believe that Trump wanted to make that walk without help from anyone..

[TruckFump]

7. You read my mind.

I thought that yesterday...and the MD's bullshit evasiveness today re oxygen, that sealed my suspicion.

3. no shit. he wanted to walk himself to the chopper.

[BusyBeingBest]

4. He had O2 desaturation, and/or became short of breath.

That's a pretty crucial detail.

[Nay]

8. YEP. This is not a good sign. Wonder what his O2 saturation was?

5. That medical presser came apart fast

Less than an hour.

10. It was all about the optics

Trump and his advisors did not want the public see him wheeled or carried out to that chopper. That was the 'abundance of caution.'

Strong men gotta be strong.

Meanwhile, Gutfeld on Fox is pushing the idea that Trump contracted Covid purposely. For Us. He is demonstrating heroic bravery, holding the line so the American public will be as brave as he is.

Anyone want to gag now???

If Trump were to take a turn for the worse and die? They're fully prepared to turn him into a frigging martyr.

This is the other sickness sweeping the country.

11. Actually

I would have been surprised if they hadn't given him supplemental oxygen. That is pretty standard for any breathing problems. What a stupid thing to lie about.

12. Guys with similar dimensions often get oxygen on the NFL sidelines
