or being sent as part of thank you cards to his highest donors who came through at latest fundraisers

We can be sure he knows his signature has monetary value that can be leveraged plus the inherent photo op value.

Once more, I suspect Trump is living out the Zaphod Beeblebrox story:

FORD:
Yeah. Where’s Zaphod?

ARTHUR:
He… well… he’s in his cabin signing photographs of himself: “To myself with frank admiration.”

show a conference room, cabinetry, furniture and flags that do not show up in any of the published photos of the Presidential Suite at Walter Reed that are available online.

What a fucking wank.

While just a guess, we've all probably signed blank signature cards for future legal needs at one point or another.

I have since seen this shot the enlargement inspired.

In a suit? Hospitalized surrounded by flags? I find it beyond belief that a hospital would allow all these potentially tainted props in an room even if it is an executive suite room.
This is contagion and there are rugs, upholstered furniture?

Avoiding debate fallout? Tax evasion revelations?

There is nothing in the actions or twisted words from him of any of his sycophants that can convince me a hospital room set hasn't been substituted for a bunker so he can hide and his campaign can do damage control.

how many people in his inner circle are covid positive. Plus WH reporters. And the WH staff who are refusing to work out of fear. And the occasional inside reports that get leaked about his condition.

I think now that it is real. But I also believe that he is spinning and milking it.

Some posters have noted that the clothing and furniture indicate that the video was probably filmed in the WH before he went to the hospital.

'Trump' instead of 'I' in his speeches: he's confused himself to the point he's confused as to where "I" stops and "me" begins.

He'll be sharing a post-coital hamberter and diet Coke with himself before its over.
