It was stupid for Trump to leave the hospital so early.

If he has to go back it will look even worse for him from a public relations standpoint.
Just dumb.
But look at the way he went back to the white house and he's just not that smart.

He has made his play as the great race hero for the christofascists.

It's the final stretch of the campaign and it would be unlike him to not be out there 24/7. It's partly why he had to rush his discharge to look "strong".

There has to be something in it for him. He's away from the prying eyes in the hospital now.

before the symptoms got any worse. The joy ride might have been a test run. It's a risky move but look at who we're talking about. Getting covid in the first place made him look bad. Doing today's stunt was the best he could do with limited choices, and is only a very short term measure. He will get worse in the coming days and look even more foolish.

plus after three days it was time for him to wash and redo his hair in private so his secrets wouldn't be divulged.
