Trump has snapped

[EarlG]

He’s scared out of his mind and thinks that the power of positive thinking will get him out of this. He’s pumped full of drugs — some experimental — that have all kinds of nasty side effects. He thinks that being in the hospital is making him look weak.

So he’s going back to the White House against medical advice (despite what the spin doctors will say this afternoon, they are NOT advising he leave the hospital). Why? Nobody else is there because they’re all quarantining.

And he says that COVID is nothing to be scared of, and that he feels BETTER now than he did 20 years ago.

This doesn’t make him look “in charge,” it makes him look insane. But nobody can stop him now, his lizard brain is running the show.

I guess all we can do is sit back and watch this unravel.

[bigtree]

1. he's on that steroid high

..he's going to end up dead in the WH hospital room.

Link to tweet

[MissB]

3. I will not

be sad. I’m sure that is all sorts of awful, but he’s putting all of the remaining White House staff that has to serve him at risk.

[3catwoman3]

54. It does not sound awful at all.

The only reason I don't want this piss-poor excuse for a human being to die right now is that we do NOT need him to be canonized by dying in office. His drooling devotees would surely do so.

[flibbitygiblets]

87. We could give him a posthumous Darwin award!

[Mariana]

92. Too late, he already has a bunch of descendants polluting the gene pool. nt.

[flibbitygiblets]

94. "Out of the gene pool via death or sterility"

https://teepee12.com/2020/04/08/darwin-awards-in-danger-of-being-cancelled-due-to-overwhelming-number-of-candidates-by-tom-curley/

[Mariana]

95. He can't remove himself from the gene pool when he's already reproduced. nt.

[LiberalFighter]

97. Etch "Nobel Prize" on the side.

[NotASurfer]

111. Sounds like he's going back to the WH to try to retroactively remove his immediate descendants

from the gene pool so the slate is wiped clean. If he succeeds, Darwin with honors!

[Ohioboy]

112. You have a point

Even though he has already reproduced, if by his actions he removes both himself and his offspring's genes from the pool with his own stupidity he should certainly be eligible. It would be a very unique version of a Darwin Award.

[wnylib]

91. Oh no, what a thought. We could get

stuck with a rhyming duo, Saints Ronnie and Donnie.

[smb]

142. I Want Him To Live Long Enough To Spend A Few Years In Jail Before He Finally Keels Over

He'd have to be another Methuselah to serve out the sentence he deserves, so whatever remaining lifetime he has will have to do.

[ancianita]

149. And while there, catch it again. No Walter Reed this time.

[luvallpeeps]

101. No, it isn't awful at all.

He's responsible for the deaths of a lot of people. Plus he destroyed our economy. It could have been so much better. But no. We got a frickin' raging moron in charge.

[Moostache]

13. I hope so.

May his dead bloated body rot for all I care. The motherfucker is a waste of tax payer funding for the experimental treatments he got - they should have gone to younger Americans suffering across the country.

I am going to be so happy when Trump does die that I may just pee myself in glee...

[onetexan]

41. Ditto. I get the feeling this is the beginning of the end for him.

[smirkymonkey]

63. I certainly hope so.

I've had enough of this bullshit. I'm done.

[wnylib]

85. Same here.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

103. Me too.

All I can say anymore is “jeeezzus h krist” and hit myself in the forehead.

[bdamomma]

124. He's a sick POS thug literally

he really is not only a food junkie, but all those drugs he's on he is a JUNKIE.

I hope he gets side effects, time will tell. Let him do himself in.

[smb]

143. Well, I Suppose Holding It In Until They Bury Him Isn't An Option nt

[Boomer]

56. Exactly this.

He truly isn't scared, he's riding a chemical wave. Ordinary patients would be curbed from excessive behavior by their doctors, and security guards if necessary, but as POTUS Trump can just bully every one as he goes wild.

[LiberalFighter]

96. Isn't it past the point for his election campaign?

[usaf-vet]

102. Absolutely! Put me on Prednisone and at 73 I'm sure I would be competitive in the Ironman Classic.

Guaranteed to finish in the top 5.

Two days later an 86 year old Gramma could whip my a$$. And have me begging her to stop before she gets out of the wheelchair.

I've been prescribed Prednisone 2 or three times in my life the only illness I remember being on it for was a horrible case of Poison Ivy.

I pleaded to stay on it just in case something itched in the future.

Thank goodness my doctors have/had more sense than the patient.

Nasty side effects see here: https://tinyurl.com/y8ovfrhd

[Manifestor_of_Light]

133. A drug from heaven and hell both.

Prednisone makes you realize how much your allergies are causing your fatigue!! Because you feel like leaping tall buildings in a single bound! So many nasty side effects like uncontrolled diabetes, DVT blood clots and pulmonary emboli (blood clots in lungs -- often fatal).

[Locrian]

146. he's an addict...

and addicts can't WAIT to get away from supervision and back to their stash

Watch out when all the drugs and all his personal drugs start to mix.
Totally unstable genius

[Demsrule86]

2. We have no government at the moment.

[OAITW r.2.0]

15. And we won't until January, 2021 if Biden wins.

Trump will be too busy planning his getaway and inciting civil unrest after the election results are in.

[Codeine]

108. I'll take it.

No government beats actively destructive government.

[Newest Reality]

4. You know...

You may have something there about the positive thinking. It was his family "religion", so he probably believes in it fully.

Add that to some extreme, malignant narcissism and then some doses of powerful steroids and bingo.

[BamaRefugee]

5. " I did it because I didn't want to make donald trump panic. I wanted to be a cheerleader for donald

[NightWatcher]

6. I tried to get up and leave when I was hopped up on roids. I couldn't even stand up

I was on very high doses and was out of it.

He needs family who will act in his best, but he's' got a house full of deadbeat gold diggers and greedy heirs who just want theirs and don't care about his health.

He knows he's losing the election and cannot look weak, even if he is sick. It's a shitty place to be in.

[bigtree]

8. I think that's why he's leaving after dark

...likely unsteady as hell.

[woodsprite]

61. It's after the close of the stock market too. Thought that might play into it. nt

[LiberalFighter]

98. Melania should get Trump to revise his will.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

123. Well he put himself in that shitty place

Psychopath loser.

[katmondoo]

148. Seems his family hates him. Mary Trump read her book.

[cayugafalls]

7. He is SHEDDING VIRUS. He is now Typhoid Harry.

A F'ing Criminal with the intent to commit harm to everyone around him.

[malaise]

9. Conely speaking now

[JDC]

25. Thanks. That is hard to watch

[malaise]

30. Painful - he has no opinion on comments in the Con's tweet

Don't be afraid of Covid - don't let it dominate your life. These people are sick. 214,000+ dead and nearly eight million infected and we shouldn't be afraid.

[JDC]

70. Pure spin. I don't expect that from a Doc.

But he was recommended by Ronny Johnson, so I guess I know the answer to my own question re: "is this all stagecraft & PR at this point"

[Lasher]

88. Every time I see that doctor on TV I feel like somebody is trying to sell me a car.

[SunSeeker]

27. Holy shit, that was nuts. He can't answer the most basic questions!

[mainer]

10. Now his followers will want to get infected

because their cult leader tells them they'll feel 20 years younger.

This truly is insane.

[Buckeyeblue]

39. It's his Jonestown moment. Covid has replaced the koolaid.

[Wicked Blue]

83. The less of them, the fewer votes for him

But evidently he's too clueless to figure this out

[Evolve Dammit]

140. I hadn't thought of that. That is possible, as insane as it could be. Covid parties, etc.

[LakeArenal]

11. Hmmm. Look weak or be insane.

He chose not looking weak. Crazy.

[FakeNoose]

12. All the staffers left the West Wing, so what is he going back to?

There's nobody to change his diapers for him.

[central scrutinizer]

43. Who's going to incinerate the steak

And cover it with ketchup?

[Wicked Blue]

86. It should be renamed the Death Wing

temporarily

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

113. I am sure he misses his McDonald's and KFC...

... and they probably would not allow it to be brought into Walter Reed. Hey! Steroids are supposed to make you think funny, so...

[Grasswire2]

14. Does no one in his family care enough about him to stop him?

Doesn't Melania have some power?

[Hekate]

24. No. As Mary Trump reports, the family is entirely transactional & there are only two forms...

...Money and power. Power and money.

Caring and love are signs of weakness.

[Wicked Blue]

84. I thought Ivanka could sometimes manipulate him

Where has she been lately, anyway?
Salting away the loot in the Caymans?

[Acornsouth]

126. Princess Fake T*t's doesn't want to get this virus...it will hurt her chances in 2024....

no way she goes anywhere near Typhoid Don...

[Wicked Blue]

137. The only chance she will have in 2024

is the chance to wear an orange jumpsuit in prison.

[Cracklin Charlie]

16. I think you're right.

I think they took him for a psych evaluation, as well as the corona.

Something bad wrong going on here.

[nclib]

17. This is so dangerous.

The worst outcome I could imagine would be trump leaving early and declaring covid is nothing. It will allow more people to be reckless which will lead to more deaths. Dangerous and irresponsible.

[central scrutinizer]

44. It's not dangerous

It’s reinvigorating. A veritable fountain of youth. “I feel twenty years younger.”

[nclib]

65. Lol. But it is dangerous for everyone else.

That's my concern. More people will not take covid seriously.
I wonder how reinvigorated he will feel when the drugs start wearing off.

[underpants]

18. Power of positive thinking - you nailed it

That is way more of an important factor with him that anything else.

[7wo7rees]

130. Well, stay Positive, Don. n/t

[MineralMan]

19. He has, indeed. And we all need to observe his collapse first-hand.

Donald J. Trump is on his way out. One way or another. He is finished.

So, let him return to the White House for his final goodbye. He may die there, or he may end up being removed from office before long, though impeachment and removal or through 25th Amendment proceedings.

He has slipped over the edge, and will not be returning, I think. We are observers, now.

[DENVERPOPS]

120. Oh MM

I am sooooooo wishing you are correct..........

[Pachamama]

132. +1000000

[Gothmog]

20. trump has lost it

[CaptainTruth]

21. I think it's more the power of delusional "thinking."

[RazzleCat]

22. He has made a tactical mistake

So he is leaving because he wants to look strong, what happens if he has to go back? If I understand the progress of Covid correctly, you get a bad "flu", rebound a a couple days then crash hard. Now I do know he has received the best known treatments at this time. I will also acknowledge we don't know the date he became positive. What we do know about Covid is that the typical case lasts 10 days to 2 weeks, with good days and bad days.

[obamanut2012]

48. I had a mild case, and it kicked my ass for two solid weeks

I barely felt better when I had a relapse about a week later -- I was worse than before. A fever for the first time, killer fatigue just as bad as before, etc. I was laid up for another five days before I felt better again. And, I was working from home during the initial hit, so was lucid, etc.

[Dem2theMax]

66. Amen.

I had it for three weeks. The three weeks of recovery was almost as bad as the three weeks of being sick. Could barely get out of a chair. This was back in March. I'm still not where I was prior to Covid-19.

And I'm not in my 70's, morbidly obese, junk food junkie, adderal addicted, and Heaven only knows what else he has.

I'm picturing him going down and he's dead before he hits the floor.

[ffr]

23. I want to label this Monday as the craziest CRAZY TOWN Monday eva!

The rat is cornered. $420M in mob loans coming due. He has to win. HAS TO!!!

You think this is crazy. Just wait until tonight and tomorrow.

[meow2u3]

42. He might also think dying from COVID will absolve him from his foreign debts

He doesn't realize the mob will extract his debts from his kids.

[smb]

144. Like He Gives A Rat's Ass What Happens To His Kids nt

[Nitram]

26. No need to invoke "nasty side effects" to explain Trump's behavior. That's just Trump being Trump.

They probably give him more placebos than real medication. I really doubt his doctor actually gave him chloroquine.

[Grasswire2]

28. why don't they introduce all the doctors that come out?

How do we even know if they are doctors?

[Hekate]

29. KnR

[yuiyoshida]

31. IF HE REALLY has the virus

He will be dead in weeks...

[HipChick]

32. COVID is nothing to be scared of? My friend lost both her parents..

How can he even say that?

[calimary]

33. Unfortunately, if he claims he feels better than he did 20 years ago,

Dumbfuckistan will believe him. Because that's what they'll WANT to believe.

And he knows it. And thus he exploits it with a depth of shamelessness so low I think it just might be bottomless.

[ismnotwasm]

34. It wouldn't surprise me.

I’m sure if he’s had steroids, he’s had a round of prophylactic antibiotics, nebulizers and multiple imagings of his lungs. Despite being president, a patient is a patient, and he was not in control. Him asserting his “control“ isn’t an uncommon reaction in patients with shitty personalities

[ffr]

35. Great political cartoon representation of cowardly republicans

Let the crazy town show go on!

[appalachiablue]

36. That's steroid induced euphoria, energy & high driving him

heaven help the country

[dchill]

37. He is now, more than ever, a killing machine...

...in self defense mode.

[ffr]

38. BREAKING! Melania seen preparing to leave the West Wing

[Orrex]

40. Wouldn't it be a tragedy if he fucking died right out there in the open?

Horrible, truly. To see a man like this shit and piss himself on camera as he strokes out from COVID complications, dying like a worthless piece of shit worshiped only by unthinking hordes of racist fuckhead cultists?

That would be terrible.

[mikelgb]

45. From a reddit comment:

'2020 can redeem itself if he gasps out his last breaths saying “I can’t breathe” and calling for his mother.'

Couldn't agree more

[DinahMoeHum]

52. We should get so lucky.

[flibbitygiblets]

93. But think of the ratings, Donald!!

Do it! Do it! Do it!

[catbyte]

46. Dexamethasone makes you feel like Superman. Believe me, I know. He'll crash. HARD.

Then he'll feel like shit. They'll have to keep pumping him full of it, but then 'roid rage will really set in.

[obamanut2012]

49. Predisone made me feel high and like Superman

I cannot imagine what something so much stronger does to someone.

[Grokenstein]

55. Especially someone with a Trump-level Messiah Complex!

[FakeNoose]

114. Sure, but he has the Adderall to fall back on

He's going to croak, and it won't be the doctors' fault.

[Sgent]

115. 'Roid rage

is not related to Dexamethasone or Prednisone. Those are corticosteroids, roid rage is identified with long term use of anabolic steroids (testosterone).

[catbyte]

128. Doesn't matter. Have you ever been on heavy streroids like dex? I have & I know what I felt

when I was on them & when I tapered off of them.

[Initech]

47. Just breakout the popcorn and watch the horror show!

[DallasNE]

51. And The Long Wait For November 3rd n/t

[Celerity]

53. thank you for this OP

[duforsure]

57. This is the same ignorance and arrogant actions that led to his getting the virus,

So, I expect within two to four days he'll be back in even worse condition, if he gets back in time. trumps desperate , stupid, and we'll see another bad mistake from trump. He's acting carelessly again , not something someone running for the highest office should be doing. More voters running from this idiot now.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

58. Next, he'll say he only went to Walter Reed to inspect the facility.....

and this was just a test exercise. Part of his beautiful support for vets and all that......

There is no lie, no deception and no heap of bullshit that is beyond Donald Trump and his band of crooks.....

[MoonRiver]

59. He'll be at much greater risk in the WH than hospital.

But, oh well, it's his life.

[Kablooie]

60. I don't think he's scared at all. I think he truly thinks he's conquered the virus.

He has had amazing luck his whole life that has protected him from disaster and he expects it to continue just like it always has.

[benld74]

62. WH shut down per CNN,,,, but you know,,,

[BeckyDem]

64. I agree he is terrified.

All he has ever done, day in day out is market himself and his record and decisions were horrific. There is nothing to run and he is almost out of time.

[Mr.Bill]

67. Little boy needs his Adderall.

Seriously, Democratic candidates need to point out that even if his treatment at Walter Reed did make him well (which I doubt) no one else in the USA has access to that kind of treatment paid in full. If he gets well, it's not because there's a treatment for Covid that works, it's because he alone has access to it.

A helicopter ride, a team of up to a dozen doctors, a private suite, experimental drugs that insurance would not pay for, etc. My best guess is this would cost the average citizen more than a quarter million dollars. And it was wasted on a piece of human garbage not worth five cents.

[Schmice3]

68. He knows he's going to die.

He just doesn't want to die in the hospital. The Grim Reaper (not Moscow Mitch) is sharpening his scythe.

[budkin]

69. This. He's scared out of his mind

And thinks if he just pushes through it he'll be ok.

[dchill]

71. He knows, but paradoxically, he CAN'T let himself know.

[Towlie]

72. If so, maybe he has a "bucket list" of ways to screw up the USA that he's eager to finish first.

[Old Terp]

73. And he listens to his Gut.

And you know what ultimately comes out from the Gut.

[Elwood P Dowd]

78. That's what caused the two large hemorrhoids below his nose.

[Hugin]

74. I for one, tire of the unraveling...

It needs to either be pushed or ignored.

[Mossfern]

81. I honestly think it should be ignored

Paying this much attention only feeds the troll ( in this case, Donald.)

[lagomorph777]

75. The Spin Doctors!

Coming soon on Fox - follow their hilarious antics.

[luvtheGWN]

104. Those docs are military

and he's their C in C. So if he tells them what they can and cannot say, they have to obey -- or it's court-martial or, at the least, dishonourable discharge.

They have to spin in the way he wants them to. Can't really blame them, I suppose.

[Aussie105]

129. Body language says it all!

Most of them strike defensive poses, looking the other way, hands in front. An instinctive covering of your vulnerable reproductive parts.
Don't want to be there, don't want to be part of the carnival show.

Where is the 'Yipee! We just saved the life of our Commander-in-Chief!'?
Where are the proud, happy smiles? Where is the jubilant tone in the voice of the speaker?

Spin it is. Trump has Trumped the country. You have been punked again, America!

[mcar]

76. Wonder what will happen when the 'roids wear off

[Rebl2]

80. He won't

feel better than he did 20 years ago any longer! His energy will drop.

[localroger]

105. And he will demand more /nt

[Rebl2]

77. He feel s

great because he is on steroids!

[Baclava]

79. Staying makes him look weak, leaving makes him look stupid, win/win! lol

[ecstatic]

82. So now SS has to drive him home, then bring him back, AGAIN

if he spirals again.

[DENVERPOPS]

122. How soon

before the Secret Service runs out of agents because of quarantining????????

His "joyride" caused six agents to go into quarantine for 14 days, not that they are probably complaining.......

[ecstatic]

127. I know right? Can you imagine fighting an attacker in a gown

with a mask and face shield on? I guess trump doesn't ever think about stuff like that. He's compromising his own security! smh

[NBachers]

89. If no one tells him "No" about this, who will stop him from a global rampage?

[Illumination]

90. Have the perfect solution. If he has a lizard brain, then the Reptilian must need a warmer

climate. Send him straight back to HELL where he came form!...

[Warpy]

99. Reality is going to bite him twice

First, this is a two week disease. People can feel good for a few hours and then the temperature spikes up and the fatigue kicks in and the cough gets worse again.

While I think he might have tested positive before the debate, I don't think he was ill yet. He couldn't have babbled like that if he had been, he'd have been interrupted, himself, with multiple coughing fits, even if he was mainlining Tussionex.

So he's got about 9 days to go on this thing and that's if his first symptoms appeared on Thursday. This disease doesn't let go so easily.

Second, he's going to be on a dexamethasone taper. Steroids put you on an emotional roller coaster, they make you ravenously hungry while screwing up your stomach, but they make you feel really, really good, better than good, really great.

He's all about the quick fix and getting things nobody else can get and when it dawns on him that he's not fixed yet, he's going to be very unhappy about that.

In the meantime, he is not going to quarantine, he is not going to remain in his quarters, he's not even going to remain in the White House, he has a pathological need to meet and greet his fanboys, especially if they have money to extort. Typhoid Drumpf is going to be on the move and there's nothing anyone can do to stop him.

[PatrickforO]

100. His lizard brain is running the show.

Yep. This is pretty fucked up, you know, because what if a country like N. Korea or China or Russia decides now would be a good time to test us hard?

You're right - Trump has snapped. The old reality rubber band has parted, dropping him straight into crazy-land.

[SpankMe]

106. I suspect he never had Covid

He feigned it so he could stage some miraculous recovery and bolster a claim that it's not really that bad. There's no way that a freak like him could come out of a Covid episode so light.

[hkp11]

107. he's not scared

Drumpf wants to claim that covid-19 is like the flu, nothing to fear, everybody should go about their life - open up everything, if anyone catches covid-19, there's drugs to get them back on their feet.

[Roc2020]

109. He is done

literally metaphorically politically financially. Done.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

110. "Where's my nuclear football?!"

I'm imagining him screaming for his little toy right away.

[oldsoftie]

116. But all his minions are screaming about how string & tough he is.

He's getting the response from them that he wants.
But I dont think its going to help him with anyone else

[Skittles]

117. I absolutely agree with this assessment

like you said, nobody can stop him, he listens to NO ONE

PLEASE CAN WE PUT A STOP TO THIS SHIT SHOW, IT IS EXHAUSTING.

[ThoughtCriminal]

118. Biden will not be the 46th President

Most likely he will be the 47th. If Trump keeps this up he will not make it to January.

[vlyons]

119. That's right - sit back and watch him unravel

Meanwhile everyday, every hour, his antics provide me with ample fodder to ridicule his every stupidity.

[Resistance1]

121. He was sucking wind big time

After he reached the top of the stairs and ripped his mask off like he was coming out of the closet. He hasn't learned a thing as he walked into the WH spreading a viral deadly disease to those closest to him. He has lost all concept of reality at the expense of political optics.

[BootinUp]

125. He actually coughed at least once on the balcony.

[copperearth]

131. Interesting info on CNN

Trump owns stock in Regeneron and has caused the stock to soar since he took it. he also owns stock in Remdesivir. Nothing like buying your own cure.

[Kahuna]

134. What we are watching is the coming together of, Karma and Science...

And I will enjoy every moment of it.

[lanlady]

135. That Covita show last night was pathetic

He looked like a very frightened man.

Don't cry for me, Red America
The truth is, I never left you
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance
because I wanna infect as many people as I can before my light is extinguished

[Progressive dog]

136. Trump has just lost his ability to sometimes

pretend to be human. He is who he has been, only more honest.
Even the MAGAs are starting to awake from their herd mentality.

[Peacetrain]

138. Just so scary.. I feel like I am watching some strange movie about the downfall of a country..

[dalton99a]

139. The Day of Reckoning is coming

[smb]

141. No Doubt He's Scared Out Of His Mind

Inability to breathe is scary even to the brave; imagine what it's like for a coward like Cadet Bone Spurs.

[CrispyQ]

145. I just want him dead & the sooner the better.

We'll figure out how to deal with his cult later.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

147. I feel like we are all captive to this madman

and just have to work and ride through the next months and hope that we survive. At the moment, there is no other way to describe it other than being restrained in a bus with madman Trump carelessly careening along the edge of a cliff with a ticking nuclear time bomb primed to go off at any second.
