Jason Miller, Trump's chief strategist just said the President is ready to lead on Covid because he's been through it. So for seven months he refused to lead because it didn't effect him. That is a stunning admission from the Trump campaign.

1. Republicans never give a shit

Until it happens to them.

But this is more about appearances and self-glorification
than helping one other person beside Donald Trump.

[LisaL]

9. His experience is nothing like that of the regular citizen.

They air lifted him to the hospital, put him into a presidential suit, and gave him an experimental medicine not available to regular persons.
I don't think your regular covid patient is going to get any of that.

[Srkdqltr]

2. Leading from behind as usual.

[Sogo]

3. Exactly.

I've always said that about the school shootings, too, that until it's THEIR children, they couldn't care less....

[tanyev]

4. He's not through it yet, Jason. He's just getting started.

[Quixote1818]

5. This shit is getting old. Even the skeptics are starting to see through the BS

[thucythucy]

6. Think of all the people who have died

just to teach these ignorant self-satisfied narcissists a lesson: the virus doesn't care how rich or smug you are.

Talk about an absolute lack of empathy! An absolute inability to imagine for oneself what someone else might be going through.

These people are utterly incapable of caring for anyone outside their exalted circle. They think they are gods, above the rest of us on account of their "superior genes" and immune from the reality the rest of us have to endure--a reality they've done so much to make so much worse.

[LisaL]

7. Oh, he is going to lead now because he has experience with it?

Are the rest of the infected going to be airlifted to the hospital and be given a huge suite at the first sign of covid?

[procon]

8. WTF does that mean?

How can Trump do more of nothing? He certainly hasn't had the guts to lead in anything, so what is he going to do that's different than the last 4 years?

[global1]

10. Trump Doesn't Know How To Lead.....

he'll fail at this - just like everything else he does.

Personally - I don't think he's out of the woods yet on Covid. In his mind - he's whipped it - if he even ever tested positive in the first place.

Given the way he's acted the last two days - with the photo ops at the hospital and his joy ride today - I'm beginning to think this was all a 'hoax'. Just a ploy to garner sympathy and to re-set his campaign in these last few weeks before the election - so he has something to talk about.

His adoring deplorables will be praising him to high heaven.

I think Biden should reconsider pulling his negative ads and come at him with even more of a vengeance.

[Cirque du So-What]

11. He's only concerned about his own recovery

He doesn’t GAF about anyone else. He was useless from day one and he’ll be useless from here on.

[42bambi]

12. What? Lead us to the cemetery?

[thinkingagain]

13. Because now he can say he has experience he knows what to do

And they will believe him same as.
He owns a business he knows how to run a country.

[Renew Deal]

14. Soon they will be arguing that Trump is less of a risk because he already had it.

[Nevilledog]

18. Yup. How can you trust Biden when he hasn't even been infected?

[JDC]

15. They are going to try to spin this as a positive, giving *45 the excuse he's needed

To unapologetically change his public facing position on Covid. But it's BS and lip service. That's all they have. Before and moving forward.

[vlyons]

16. Well there's a few things to always remember

1. Everything Trump touches turns to shit.
2. With Trump, there is no bottom.
3. He has no credibility whatsoever, because he is a pathological liar.
4. Everyone and everything are merely objects to be used until their usefulness is no more.

There's a lot more that could be added to the list, but I'm sure that you get the point.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Jason Miller is just as nuts - if not more so,

than tRump.

The only place tRump would lead us is off a cliff.

[Celerity]

24. A Republican who had 3 women pregnant at same time, slipped an abortion pill to the stripper, tried

tried to talk the mistress into an abortion, all while pretending to be pro-life and devoted to his wife.

19. So it took 210,000 Dead Americans before he cared? FUCK HIM & JASON MILLER

So was this all trumped up so they could pull this bullshit?

[crickets]

21. No. 210,000 average Americans and more was never going to be enough.

It took one snivelling donald and a few Repub Senators from the Judiciary Committee getting sick. That's what it took.

[Marie Marie]

20. Oh goody - does this mean that every Covid patient gets a parade?

[Ms. Toad]

22. Based on his joy ride today - not so much. n/t

[Hugin]

23. Here comes the fricking spin...

Somebody better light a match. It's a stinker.

[struggle4progress]

25. "Fortunately the doctors were able to repair the hole in my skull. I've really learned a lot

about Russian roulette! And now I'm an expert on gun-safety!"

[Initech]

26. People aren't going to care until it affects them or someone they care about.

It's American "empathy" at its' finest.
