When is 45's crash going to hit?

He's bouncing around the country like Sonic the Superspreader at a pace healthy people would find at least a little taxing. Its past the expected time for the 'roid high to run out yet he still seems to be going strong. Maybe he does feed off the crowds in some fashion...

Do others think he still looks ill and sickly? I'm really beginning to lean toward the conspiracy theory that Tweety never had Covid...

lucky with his cocktail. Plus, as you said, he gets a high from the crowds. And he does no work otherwise, except lifting whoppers and cokes to his face.

Not everyone dies to COVID especially if you have a 24/7 medical team and experimental drugs/treatment at your disposal.

What's the upside for lying about COVID? So he can drop 3+ points in the polls and make COVID the #1 topic in the last 2 weeks?

aura to his thralls. And, though it could have been a unexpected circumstance ruthlessly exploited, his 'illness' has had some convenient side effects.

The increased energy, alertness, optimism, elation, even cognition, all typical of the heightened mental state that is the opposite of depression. He can read competently off a teleprompter now. The crash is going to be awesome.

He won't be able to control himself at the next debate either. Expect even more aggressive interruptions.

Its fun to stay at the hi-mdma.

Then stays in high class accommodations.

In between he stands, reads off a teleprompter, and ad libs for an hour at most.

He's not exactly running a half-marathon.

to play a big part in his desperation. I see a serious crash and burn in his near future. The toll drugs take on the body is bad enough when you're young, but at his age it's got to be brutal.
