The deal with Trump and Covid

Trump’s campaign is based on him looking strong and Biden looking weak. Trump had to be dragged kicking and screaming to Walter Reed. Trump is hassling the doctors now to let him out of the hospital early purely for optics. Ask any credible doctor about releasing Trump this soon with his symptoms and they will tell you it’s lunacy. The Doctors are probably sick of Trump’s bullying and whining and are like fck it, discharge him early, get him out of our hair. If they do discharge him he will relapse and be right back or drop dead. That picture of Meadows with his head in his hands says it all. This is going to be an epic train wreck. That is my take for what it’s worth.

The VA system and other public health systems are self- insured.

...each and every doctor there will find their life, and those of their families, at risk, as I’m sure the most-devoted MAGAts will blame them and demand revenge. Maybe they’ll even claim the doctors were part of the Deep State, and deliberately murdered him.

I still remember Kelly biting his knuckle and looking on in horror (along with all the sane people in this country) at Trump in Helsinki.

That’s what is used for patients that the doctors assume will soon need a ventilator.

Odds are dude is really sick and the chances that he will be released from hospital within the next week are very low.

They might have some phony pictures stashed for when that time comes. But it would certainly be nice if he literally couldn’t talk or text. If he goes home in the next couple days you can be pretty sure he’ll be back in the hospital quickly.
