(sorry only source so far)

President Donald Trump phoned Rudy Giuliani from his hospital bed Saturday afternoon to declare he feels so healthy, “I could get out of here right now.”

The former Big Apple mayor said his friend of 30 years sounded hale and hearty during the 2:30 p.m. conversation. “If you can judge by the way he speaks, he sounded like vintage Donald Trump,” Giuliani said.

The president dictated a statement to Giuliani:

“You go tell people I’m watching this coverage [reporting he’s taken a turn for the worse].

“I feel I could get out of here right now. But they’re telling me there can always be a backstep with this disease. But I feel I could go out and do a rally.

1. Mmmmm ok

[Paladin]

2. Go out and do a rally...and infect a whole shitload of people. Typical.

Tell your old pal to go fuck himself, Rudy.

[tulipsandroses]

3. They are so full of shit. Mcaninny said he would be working. If he was doing great

they would be putting out pictures of him with stacks of papers. He'd be face timing Hannity. They can save the BS for the MAGA idiots.

4. Story was posted around 4:30 EST. Rudy is hitting the sauce a little early I'd say. n/t

5. Sorry, don't believe old grandpa cousin humper.

[Budi]

6. Haaaahaaaa...(please say this is Borowitz)

No Rudy, Dotard's flat on his back, in a coma with a vent down his throat. You're lying again.

[Dem2theMax]

21. I immediately looked for the Borowitz byline.

Shocked to see it wasn't there!

[Budi]

26. They must be borrowing the Borrowitz writing style since its become more believable than the WH.

😬

7. Trump is at about the third inning of a nine inning contest.

A lot of people who thought on Day 4 they had beat this thing were buried on Day 20. Sad to say.

[DonaldsRump]

11. Maybe even the second batter in the first inning?

The lies these people tell make knowing the truth totally impossible.

15. We've all seen the video of the lady laying in a hospital bed

with oxygen mask talking about how bad it is and she died the next day.

[Quixote1818]

8. And yet no photo showing how lovely he looks. Zero % chance this is true. nt

[tavernier]

9. Well if Rudy says it...

[Andy823]

10. And Mitch says he got a call also

said pretty much the same as the others. What I don't understand is if he is in that great a shape we has he not phoned into Fox News to give them, and his diehard base reassurance that he is fine?

[maryellen99]

22. Then he needs to be released from WR if he's "fine"

They are all lying because they think Americans couldn’t handle the truth of how sick he really is.

[BlueStater]

12. What fucking bullshit.

First off, I question whether this conversation even happened. Rudy’s word isn’t worth anything. And if it did happen, then it’s just the usual hyperbolic Trump crap. Regardless of his condition right now, I’m sure he’s sick as a dog.

[onethatcares]

13. please, and lick a few doorknobs on the way out

FFS......

[Newest Reality]

14. It seems like...

It seems like it could be the other way around.

COVID-19 could beat him mercilessly and without remorse, which is similar to his way of treating things.

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. Sure thing!!!

[XanaDUer2]

17. Famous last words

Nt

[JDC]

18. Why doesn't he just go address the trumpanzees downstairs?

Could take the elevator and be outside shaking hands and infecting babies in 5 mins.

[Dem2theMax]

24. He could wave out the window, like Reagan did.

Hahaha. I crack myself up. Probably hard to get to a window if you have to drag a ventilator behind you.

[moonscape]

19. I actually believe this ... but it

could be just the pessimist in me.

[BannonsLiver]

20. No reason to take any of that at face value.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Beat What?

It hardly affects anybody. It's just a cold, or maybe even the flu. We've all beaten colds & flu. This just can't be anything to brag about beating.

[Baclava]

25. The world is safer from the virus if your infected lard ass stays right where it is!

[Midnight Writer]

27. Viral effects wax and wane. You can feel bad, then feel good, then feel bad again.

I hope the WR doctors are in charge of Trump's health, and not his crony team.

If he is released, he will immediately repeat the behavior that got him sick to begin with.

This President acts out compulsively. He cannot control it.
