BREAKING - trump announces he will LEAVE Walter Reed at 6:30pm and return to the White House!

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

For me, not so much.

As an aside, my damn neighbor still has his Dump flag up. I swear, what's it going to take? On Saturday morning, I heard him and his female friend really get into it. He seemed desperate and sad/angry. He cried out that he had lost everything, no one cared (especially her), and he has to do everything by himself. Still has the flag though. Started whacking away at his motorcycle, and I think he hurt himself. It's been quiet since.

Not with most of us praying he becomes incapacitated from it. This was clearly a stunt he timed for the election.

I've had it. I don't care what happens to him. It isn't PC to wish anything but a speedy recovery on him, but it is insulting to those that died, their relatives, the front line fighters, and the general population for him to put on this spectacle complete with a frickin' parade he gave himself.

Let's go back to the breaking news about his taxes. There's more there; I want to hear it. I don't care if the bastard's sick with Covid or not. I know if I get sick with it, I'm dying at home alone without medical support. Because I don't have a leader fighting for my general health care, but someone who wants to deprive me of it.

If he has such a good hospital set up in the WH, then his dragging his fat ass to Walter Reed was a stunt, too.

GO AWAY, DONALD. JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALONE.

People, don't listen to this fat, privileged fuck. Keep showing grown up responsible action against the virus. Wear your masks, keep distancing, and wash stuff up. Hang in there. We are tougher than Donald, and we are tougher than this virus. VOTE FOR JOE AND KAMALA. THEY didn't get sick! That's because they acted like grownups!

In his later years, my dad suffered from osteoarthritis, brusitis and gout. His knees were particularly painful. Dad's doctor would prescribe a 2 week course of 20mg prednisone tablets. The first day was 2 tablets, a pretty large dose of steroids and tapered off over the course of 2 weeks to 0.

On day 1 and the next few days, my dad felt great. He was happy, hungry and energetic. It was like having my dad-in-his-prime back. Then as the prednisone was reduced and wore off, he gradually returned to the normal old man he was.

Conley said the dexamethasone will continue at the WH - likely because Trump's being weaned off it. I don't think any doctor prescribes steriods as "preventative medicine" simply because they don't last.

Prednisone is great stuff. It reduces inflammation and restores function. But, you can't stay on it because it is destructive and you kinda start dissolving from it. You can use it initially, but after that you have to have a care plan for the underlying disease. It's a crisis med only.

The problem is that we don't really have any tried and true treatment plan for this disease. I blame Trump for fooling around hoping to turn this plague into some kind of political weapon he can use to keep power.

I am not one who is blaming Trump for each and every death that has occurred. Trump did not make this plague. But, he knew about it way in advance of the rest of us, he promoted unsafe practices, and he spent his leadership time advocating silly, senseless treatments that would basically have killed us. Now he's telling us not to be afraid of it because, you know he got a million dollar free treatment and he hasn't died (yet.)

We still don't know if he really had it. I think the timing is highly suspicious. But, he ain't no hero! He is foolish, short sighted, and behaving like an idiot. He is in the eye of the hurricane, doesn't realize it, and we will all just settle back to watch what happens next.

But, we still are not going to vote for him.
