1. Can you imagine? LoL!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Sure - but realistically, who's going to do it?

It's a military hospital and Trump is (unfortunately) the CinC. He probably should be sectioned, but how?

[dalton99a]

9. Plus, the Secret Service won't let anyone come near without his permission

[Aussie105]

16. How?

Easy!

Do another, more accurate test for COVID-19.

If it comes back negative, dose him up with zombie drugs and put him in a coma for a few weeks. At least until after the election.

Problem solved.

But - only in the movies, unfortunately.

3. We already know the results of that test

💩 for brains.

[Blue Owl]

4. Oh but Donny is special... so fuckin' special...

[elleng]

5. His decision-making capacity doesn't exist.

Sorry he's bored in the hospital; he's not the only one, I'm sure.

[global1]

6. Doesn't The Dr - Patient Relationship Take Precedence Over....

the military chain of command in this situation. You know if Trump's condition worsens in the next few days - his Dr will be blamed and labeled irresponsible for letting him have this joy ride today.

Trump is insane!!!!

7. Everyone knows he shouldn't have done it, but the docs at Walter Reed are in the military. He's the

Com. om Chief! I'm sure he said "I'm gonna do it!" I don't fault them for backing down. My problem is with DT!! He put the SS Agents at risk just because his massive ego told him he needed to do that ride to improve his reelection possibility. I'm really glad that the recent polling of seniors show they're abandoning DT adn voting for Joe, Biden 62% to Trump 34%. I may have remembreed those numbers a little off by 1 or 2 % but it's close. Fla. has a high % of seniors, and this means he's down in Fla. If he looses there, he can't win!

8. Yes, page Security and ask them to come fight Secret Service

[Wawannabe]

10. Rec! 30millionx!

Fuck

[BigmanPigman]

11. CNN said that steroids can make your mental health worse

and he is on a ton of steroids right now.

12. Dr Leana Wen is very credible. I've listened to her info on Covid on MSNBC and CNN for months

now. She is former public health commissioner for city of Baltimore.

14. She's brave too, for putting herself out there

[Liberty Belle]

13. The doctors should seek a court order to prevent him from leaving the hospital without

approval of whichever doctor is in charge at Walter Reed, and only after a psychiatric evaluation as well as a medical authorization.

Do this for the protection of Secret Service and also those he may expose if he's discharged anytime before he stops being contagious. It's uncharted territory but worth a try after this bonkers behavior.

[Gore1FL]

15. I don't think his decision making ability is diminished.

It is as good as it ever was.

[SergeStorms]

17. Unfortunately...

you're correct in that observation. He started at rock bottom and hasn't moved an iota upward since. The United States is the laughing stock of the world, and our old allies won't even exchange intelligence with us for fear of him blurting it out to anyone, anyplace.

WORST PRESIDENT EVER!

[Aussie105]

18. As his doctor

I'd recommend 6 months of enforced bed rest, and strict control over any non authorized 'medications' he may have used in the past.
Plus dietary re-education focusing on weight reduction.

He may well be more human at the end of that.

Unfortunately, I'm not a medical person.

19. The Madness of King Donald

[Liberty Belle]

20. If only his medical team had the guts to do this.

He is clearly unhinged, psychopathic or at least sociopathic and an immediate danger to others.

[malaise]

23. He makes that one look sane

[ProudProgressiveNow]

21. KR NT

[sheilahi]

22. It's time

Maybe it's time to pull out that "Person, Woman, Man, Camera, TV" thing again. Amaze us again Don.

[Texin]

24. Unfortunately, his *doctors* are under his command as they're military men.

I believe if he had been under care from most any actual reputable physician, he would not have been allowed to leave the hospital voluntarily without first being held for a psych eval for being a danger to himself and others by virtue of his infection.
