I swear he DID NOT HAVE IT, HOW COULD HE HAVE????

[a kennedy]

He’s still jabbering and it’s been over an hour!!!!!! How was Chris Christie in ICU for 7 days and the orange piece of shit is out every damn day blabbing......how is that possible??? Oh right not a bad case and he’s cured...... I TOTALLY DESPISE HIM.

[JI7]

1. He is on drugs and people have said his energy level is lower

[SWBTATTReg]

2. Some are speculating that he didn't have the CV and that he just faked it so he would get a ...

bump in the polls, which if he was expecting anything, it backfired on him badly.

[Marius25]

3. I'm generally not one for conspiracy theories,

but I'm not convinced he had it either. His doctors were required to lie for him.

[Dlpger61]

10. I am not convinced either

I don’t believe he, his family, hope hicks, Chris Christie or any of the others had it, all of them have recovered with no side affects, you don’t just get up out of a hospital bed with such an ailment as this virus and be as fancy free as they are.

ALL OF THEM ARE LIARS AND WILL ALWAYS BE

[Takket]

40. he had it. the ACB ceremony is a well documented superspreader event with multiple infections

[katmondoo]

4. I expect him to collapse at one of these rallies.

He is really pushing it!

[SheltieLover]

14. Hope springs eternal

[dem4decades]

22. Now i want to watch them. Just kidding, i can catch it on the news.

[BigmanPigman]

5. They gave him a 3 drug cocktail that you and I would

not be able to afford or even get since it is still not approved by the FDA. He is "special".

[BannonsLiver]

7. Yep. Estimated cost $1.5 million

Meds you or I couldn’t get and will likely never be able to get. That’s why he’s alive.

[ProfessorGAC]

44. Just One Of The Treatments...

...was 100 grand per dose.
Then, PINO says everybody will get it for free.
No wonder he's not a real billionaire.
It's clear he doesn't understand how business works.

[lpbk2713]

6. All the medical practitioners who saw him should be put under review.

If they go along with his line of bullshit.

[helpisontheway]

8. Has Bill Barr been actually seen in public since he quarantined? Nt

[bluestarone]

9. We will know one day!

After the way his Dr. spoke, (LIED) I'm not sure if he did or not! BUT if not, We WILL find out!

[Squinch]

11. Either he didn't have it OR he had it for weeks longer

than he says he did because NO ONE gets over it that fast.

The drugs he was given were for people well into the virus process, not people just diagnosed.

And if he had it longer, he had it at the debate.

He's lying about something and lying big.

[SheltieLover]

15. This!👆

[2naSalit]

30. Which is all he ever does.

[crickets]

36. Yep. nt

[PTWB]

41. What about the folks who are asymptomatic?

Or the folks whose mild to moderate symptoms respond well to treatment?

Do you honestly believe “no one” gets well quickly? That is... absurd.

[Squinch]

43. So they bombed him with experimental treatments and

treatments usually reserved for people about to go on ventilators because he was asymptomatic? That's... absurd.

And no. Even people with mild symptoms don't test negative after three days.

[dansolo]

45. Not that absurd

He could have forced them to give him the most aggressive treatment. My guess is that he had it, and when he had mild to moderate symptoms, they gave him everything they could.

[Squinch]

50. He went into the hospital on Oct 2 after saying he tested positive

that day. He is reported to have had symptoms including shortness of breath serious enough to require oxygen.

Three days later, Oct 5, he leaves the hospital "cured."

Sorry. That's some bullshit somewhere. You don't get over a cold that fast.

[PTWB]

54. He was clearly symptomatic. There is evidence of that.

He also is clearly not symptomatic now. There is evidence of that, too.

The simplest explanation is most likely to be correct: he had mild to moderate symptoms and they threw every promising treatment at him to try to control those symptoms and promote an antibody response. The treatment worked.

[Squinch]

57. And he was cured - of Covid 19 - in 3 days. Sorry. Not buying it for a minute.

They are lying. If not about him having it at all, then about when he caught it, which had to be much earlier. And which means he went to the debate with Biden knowing he had it, and he yelled and yelled for 90 minutes.

[PTWB]

58. What are you doing, man?

He wasn’t “cured” in 3 days. Clearly he was still experiencing some symptoms several days after he was released from Walter Reed. But the symptoms were being managed and responded to treatment.


You can lead a horse to water...

[Squinch]

59. But we were told he was cured. Yes, of course that was untrue. But that's what we were told.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-returns-oval-office-despite-being-treated-coronavirus-n1242460

This is my point.

And as far as the possibility of the scam going the other way, that he didn't have it at all, do you think he is above faking shortness of breath to get us to stop talking about his taxes?

The Trump Circus is lying about this. We don't know what the truth is, but we can bet the house that what we have been told is a big, big lie.

[bcbink]

55. Agree NT

[FBaggins]

12. Chris Christie?

He’s... like... a different person, right?

The virus impacts different people in different ways.

[2naSalit]

31. He's showing no syptoms before or after...

I think he checked himself in to the hospital for show.

[crickets]

37. I'm furious he was able to do that.

There are people begging for help who can't get it and are sometimes sent home only to die, but he checks himself in. Flames. Flames on the side of my face.

[robbob]

63. Like it or not, he's the frickin' President...

I get a little amused at posts that basically say “why did they do THIS for him? He’s scum; average Americans can’t afford/get access to THAT...”. You should know, if you’ve ever seen my posts, that I hate him with the fury of a thousands suns. Him and all that hypocritical, money grubbing GOP filth, but...but...

He IS the President and as such is afforded all kinds of considerations we plebes will never get. If this had happened during the Obama years don’t you think we would want them to do everything possible to keep him safe and healthy?

Ok...enough on that point; here is what is really so scummy about tRump in this situation: having been afforded all these advantages, having been rushed to Walter Reed in a helicopter, having been given drugs unavailable and unaffordable to the rest of us, plus a whole team of medical professionals nursing him back to health, he turns around and says, basically; see? No big deal? Don’t let it affect your life, etc. etc. He is truly incapable of learning or emphasizing in any situation.

[crickets]

64. I was talking about Chris Christie.

He uses those words about checking himself into a hospital as though it's as simple as checking into a hotel. For him, I have no doubt it was. I don't think it's unreasonable to be angry at that.

https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/03/politics/chris-christie-coronavirus/index.html
https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/10/christie-said-he-was-checking-himself-into-the-hospital-after-coronavirus-test-heres-how-doctors-say-the-system-works.html

[robbob]

66. Oh, ok, I missed that...

Apologies. Yup, Christy is one privileged prick. Remember the private beach party?

[crickets]

67. No worries. Apologies for being a bit short myself.

Yes, Christie and his family seemed to be having a great time on that empty state beach that was closed just before the July 4th holiday. I knew he was on the beach when he shouldn't have been but only realized later it was a beach that he closed. What a piece of work!

I think he's a lobbyist now. Naturally.

[PTWB]

13. Different people have different symptoms.

Many folks are completely asymptomatic. Others experience mild symptoms requiring no treatment. Some people experience moderate symptoms briefly but respond well to treatment. Others still experience severe symptoms that do not respond to treatment.


It seems somewhat foolish to try to compare symptoms between two individuals.

[Beachnutt]

16. I agree, it was a ploy to show how it is treatable, he and his mistress

both were in on it and his wife and his kid.

[octoberlib]

17. He had it but I think he had it for far longer than he said. It wasn't just a couple

days. Trump considers getting sick a weakness and he hid it until he couldn't any longer.

[stillcool]

18. Unfortunately, it's Trump. He lies. All the time.

There is nothing he has said, at any time, that should be considered truthful without validation. There's a reason why he never completes a factual sentence, although I don't know what that is.

[Laelth]

19. I suspect he's still taking Dexamethasone.

That’s the simplest explanation.

-Laelth

[soothsayer]

27. This

[Boogiemack]

32. But he can only take it for so long. I have estimated that they will have to take him off

right after the next debate.

[Laelth]

35. Agreed.

I suspect that he has already been taking it too long but that his doctors made an exception for him due to the impending election.

-Laelth

[Lucinda]

33. +1 plus a bunch of other things

❤️ ~✿~❧~🌿~❧~✿~ ❤️

[CaptYossarian]

20. I stated he didn't have it the day of his victory lap around Walter Reed and

a few DUers vehemently disagreed with me. I haven't changed my mind about it because he lies incessantly about everything.

Do you think he paid Ivanka $130,000 out of habit? (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

[Turin_C3PO]

60. He had it.

No way would such a conspiracy not get out by someone from Walter Reed. That's the problem with conspiracy theories. He recovered quickly because he got medicine no one else gets.

[CaptYossarian]

65. Welllll...

Everyone who comes within 50 feet of him signs an NDA. Trump has also always been "sue happy" by reputation.

I also look at his miraculous 2-day recovery for an obese inactive senior citizen.

Plus the incessant lies.

It would make sense if he got it due to his ridiculously careless lifestyle, but I never believe a word he (or Conley) says.

[Zoonart]

21. I'm not one for CT either, however.......

I was fully prepared to believe that he had the virus and has been treated accordingly....right up until I heard about the plan for the
BIG REVEAL- the discussion of a "Superman" stunt. The set up was for tRump to leave the hospital looking frail and then to rips shirt open to reveal a Superman tee shirt. That is pure television theater.

It was at that moment that I began to suspect that the entire thing had been theater and this was meant to be the grand finale.

The "Superman" story was the tell. The entire object of the play was the reveal. The glorious resurrection and stunt costuming or no... that is how they have played it. NO test dates... no details from doctors, no empathy, no masks,...It's a miracle I tell ya... a miracle.

[TwilightZone]

24. Doesn't really prove anything either way.

It's just typical Trump childishness and bravado.

[Zoonart]

29. That's the whole point of gaslighting, no?

[TwilightZone]

23. Lots of people get it and recover.

There's really no reason to believe he never had it. He's been mocking it for months, he hates being seen as weak, and it would be the last thing he'd want.

[GoCubsGo]

49. Except that he really hasn't recovered.

He's being pumped full of drugs that are masking how ill he really is. They're also using all kinds of tricks to make sure he doesn't have to exert himself too much, like using a smaller AF1, of which he enters and exits through the cargo hold. His COVID cough still makes multiple appearances, as does his COVID and drug-addled brain. He's really screwed when it all catches up to him. And, it will.

[crimycarny]

25. He had it

Trump is too vain to admit that he could get sick, period. Both Mary Trump and Michael Cohen mentioned that Trump saw getting sick as a weakness. Once he did get sick he got the best medicines and immediately--versus having to wait until you're on your death bed as is the case for everyone else.

I don't believe for a minute that Trump didn't have COVID based on his ego, his denial that COVID was "big thing", and everyone else at the Super Spreader event who got sick (as well as Chris Christie from the debate prep).

BUT, once he did contract it all energy was on how to spin it in such a way as to feed his ego. Luckily for Trump he responded well to the cocktail he was given.

[Cha]

26. trump Virus is Pumped Full of

Million $$$ drugs including Steroids that have been noted in this thread.

[Codeine]

28. Some folks have a very mild reaction.

Some of my coworkers have had it, almost all of them have shrugged it off easily except one guy — he died and his wife nearly died with him.

A vast conspiracy involving his entire utterly-leaky administration and all the medical staff seems a lot less likely than a scenario where he caught a mild case and got the best medical care leading to a quick recovery.

[Squinch]

52. Any of your co-workers run the course, going from first symptoms and positive test to cure

and negative test in 3 days?

Somewhere in there is a big, big lie. We don't know what the truth is, but we know that shit's a lie.

[Ilsa]

34. I think he had it and hid it because it was going to mess with

His campaign and debate schedule. I think he's taking it easier than usual all month, reserving his energy and breath. The pneumonia got bad enough that they had to admit him to WR where he got the best meds. He looked really weak and breathless on the balcony.

[IcyPeas]

38. His doctors all had to sign an NDA (non disclosure agreement)

Just sayin'

[PTWB]

42. It wouldn't matter because his privacy is protected regardless of an NDA

[Baked Potato]

39. He could have gotten Covid at any time... why now?

If he did get it, it was planned.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

46. Well, his purported infection sure ended the stories...

... about his taxes in a hurry!

It was covered a lot by the media, then BOOM... another Trump distraction!

Of course, Trump was probably just playing 0-dimensional chess again. The chess of the void, and his infinitely DENSE mind, where the laws of logic break down and there's just randomness.

[Squinch]

51. Yep. And we never went back to that subject.

[GoCubsGo]

47. Yes, he did. They are pumping him full of dexamethasone and other drugs.

He's jabbering for an hour because he is quite obviously as high as a kite. Steroids do that to you. You'll also notice that he is flying a 757, rather than the 747. Last night, he got off it from the rear cargo hatch. That wasn't the first time he got on and off through the belly of the plane. They're doing everything they can to make sure he doesn't have to climb or go down large numbers of stairs, from using a smaller plane, to entering and exiting it from an elevated platform. Because he can't. He still huffs and puffs and gasps for air. He had it. They are just covering up the fact that he is still affected by it.

I was skeptical when it first came out that he was infected. But, I have been watching every one of his stunts. And, the way they have been obfuscating and covering up. This is not going to end well for him

[Earthshine2]

48. He's totally pumped on drugs -- probably the best in the world -- and soon comes the crash.

Just picture him on Nov 4, when the rats are abandoning ship and the walls are closing in around him.

[bcbink]

53. Agree

It is a set up to make him look strong and smarter than science.

[Mr. Ected]

56. Because COVID is tricky and that's where its danger derives from

Not everyone who gets it dies or even becomes seriously ill, even among the demographic most vulnerable to it. It's a nasty virus that seemingly picks its victims randomly. I honestly couldn't care less if Trump dies or is maimed for life because of it. I only want him out of power so that we the people can take back our government and prosecute every single criminal in this political syndicate.

Trump's continued shitty response to COVID as a public health disaster is what may end up enabling the above to materialize.

[Baitball Blogger]

61. Regeneron.

[Squinch]
