"Former President Donald Trump's condition after testing positive for Covid-19 became so concerning last October that there was talk of putting him on a ventilator, according to what Trump told one person at the time.

The detail raises questions about whether the former President's condition was worse than officials were willing to publicly acknowledge, a development first reported in detail by the New York Times Thursday.

CNN reported in October that when Trump was flown to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, he not only had trouble breathing, but had received supplemental oxygen. Trump "definitely has had oxygen," the source with knowledge told CNN.

The former President's physician, Dr. Sean Conley, waffled on the issue at the time, saying Trump "is not on oxygen right now." (More at link)

1. i wouldnt believe

anything he said.

[FarPoint]

3. I don't even believe he ever, ever had covid-19

I do believe they gave him peppy drugs....

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. Me either! Thought I was only one! The whole thing seemed way too

Bogus.

[dchill]

2. I thought it was going to say "...put him to sleep."

But then I'm just too optimistic.

[liberalmuse]

4. Bullshit.

No sympathy from me even if this was true. "It" can rot in hell for all I care.

[OAITW r.2.0]

5. They should have vented him, "just in case".

He had pretty low blood oxygen levels. He should have experienced what he condemned 10's of thousands of Americans to. It would have been righteous karma.

[Boomerproud]

6. He made a remarkable recovery in 3 days.

That so-called stage managed return to the WH with the military music and the gauzy lighting was one of the most nauseating things I've ever seen. I've never bought into how sick he was.

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. FWIW...you are so not alone.

The guy stage managed every moment of his "hospitalization", and despite stories of how sick he was, managed to do a publicity driven return to the WH in prime time in 3 days?

The same guy that has zillions of reports he is suffering from drug abuse/addictions and/or dementia, is in piss poor shape at the age of 74?

Things don't add up.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. And KEY point... He goes to a military hospital where HE

can order every person there to silence.

[BlueLucy]

7. Don't care.

Let's move on.

[Totally Tunsie]

8. Hmmph...if they didn't moniter him so closely,

he wouldn't seem that sick. Isn't that how his mind works?

("If we weren't testing so much, our numbers wouldn't be as high.")

[Thekaspervote]

9. Long time ICU ER nurse here... I'm not buying that..not for a minute

My daughter’s father drove himself to the hospital 40 minutes away, 4 days later he’s in an induced coma, intubated...he’s getting all the drugs that dotard got and probably won’t survive. Yes, symptoms and severity are highly individual..but no...he wasn’t that sick.

Why are they just releasing that now..that smells bad too

[North Shore Chicago]

10. I don't believe anus

had Covid, not for one minute!

[milestogo]

11. They should have let him die.

It would have been a service to our country.

[demtenjeep]

13. awam I supposed to be sorry?

I wish he had been treated like a homeless person would have been

[GeorgeGist]

14. Bullshit by a conman ...

Suckers.

[HipChick]

17. Rona...you had one job....
