White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany reiterated that President Trump is “in very good spirits and having mild symptoms,” but is making calls from the White House residence and will appear publicly in some capacity in the coming days.
"
“We're having to hold him back a little here, because he's hard at work. He spoke to Sen. McConnell today, Sen. Graham, I just spoke with the chief of staff and President Trump has talked to him about emergency declarations and stimulus. So we're just trying to make sure that he takes it easy, but he is hard at work and will continue to,” she said during an appearance on Fox News.

She suggested that Trump will appear publicly in the coming days but declined to provide additional details. .........................

1. For god's sake, is this all "show"?

HE'S GOT AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE!

[cstanleytech]

29. "HE'S GOT AN INFECTIOUS DISEASE!" He allegedly has one.

Given the timing of this though which was shortly after he threatened to pull out of the next two debates its entirely possible that after deciding it would hurt him more to do it that way they decided to go with a fake "I have covid" claim and use it to withdraw from them.

[BumRushDaShow]

35. OMG took the words outta of my mouth and I also added-

"She's almost worse than Kellyanne Conway".

[Bengus81]

41. I said it was fake this morning and I'm sticking with it..........

He want's to emerge from this "CV" as a WAR time President who kicked ASS on Covid. Plus he can get out of making a fool out of himself at debates.

[Ohiogal]

2. Trump is hard at work

And they have to hold him back

[lagomorph777]

5. That would never be true, on a good day.

[stillcool]

14. must be some collar...

the imagery all this inspires is amazing

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. "Hard at work" is WH speak for "watching five televisions at the same time."

"Working" means he's on the golf course.

[soothsayer]

3. Translation: He's tits up in bed, sick as a dog

[lagomorph777]

9. Take everything MAGAninny says as the exact opposite of the truth.

[Moostache]

4. The only thing I care to see of him is the transfer to Michael Reed on a gurney

Outside of that image, I don't care if I ever see his fat fucking smug face again.
My reaction to this whole story - a great big Trump smirk and closed arms pout...unless he dies, then its 12/31/1999 again.

[lagomorph777]

11. Or even Walter Reed.

[soothsayer]

16. Ha! I read right past Michael until you wrote this

[louis-t]

34. I caught it right away. Almost spit out my gum.

[Moostache]

18. Oops...my visions of sugarplums clouded the typing!

As long as its on a gurney, not under his own power and with oxygen and fluids being administered, I really don't care if they are taking out to dump his bloated ass into the Potomac!

[lagomorph777]

20. Hey we're trying to clean up the Potomac!

I'd hate to start dumping raw sewage into it again.

And - yeah I get it. We're all a bit giddy today!

[kimbutgar]

6. Unless he weakened in bed trying to stop coughing and struggling to breathe

I had a mild case in January and was sick as a dog for three days and still weak for weeks thereafter. Took me two months to get back to normal.

[captain queeg]

7. As mentioned elsewhere, we'll know he's getting better when he picks back up on twitter

[Nay]

32. Exactly. If he's just got mild symptoms, his usual fractured tweeting would

be going on.

[Midnightwalk]

8. Hold him back

You just finished your second bucket of KFC and it’s not even 1 oclock.

Ok, I can believe that.

[Mike Nelson]

10. Well...

... I hope he gets well, so he can be healthily defeated at the polls. But I really thought we'd get the benefit of NOT seeing him for 14 days. In fact, I'd not mind never seeing him again...

[lagomorph777]

17. He'll attempt a couple of calls from his bed, but the ventilator might interfere a bit.

This is not going to go well for a massively obese septuagenarian with a crack addiction.

[Dave Starsky]

26. I suspect he also has heart failure.

Wheezy McGolfcart has demonstrated repeatedly that he can't walk more than a few dozen feet without utterly fatiguing.

For a white guy, he pretty much runs the gamut of high-risk COVID comorbidities. It won't be easy for him from now on.

[lagomorph777]

28. Yup. He's like a COVID culture dish.

[qazplm135]

12. lol

Sure, Jan.

[madaboutharry]

13. She should just shut up.

"Coming days..." What bullshit.

I am so sick of living in their upside down world.

Vote. Them. Out.

[torius]

15. Weekend at Bernie's ... eom

[Midnight Writer]

19. Whew! That's a relief.

Even though Trump always needs someone to hold him back when women are in the room.

He can't help himself.

[TommyCelt]

21. Yeah, right... they have to hold him back

...from all his work because darn it he'll just EXPLODE if he's can't work hard for the American people.

[warmfeet]

23. I certainly hope he does not recover.

What a disgusting thought.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

24. Does Bullshit Barbie write all her own lies?

Or is there a team of professional liars feeding her those blatantly false lines?

[SunSeeker]

25. Trump just canceled the only call he had today, Pence did it instead.

[catrose]

27. Thank you, KayLIE. "And he himself has said it, and it's greatly to his credit."

[VWolf]

30. Well, THIS comes to mind:

[ffr]

44. lol

I'm sure there will be many more moments that'll come to mind here soon too.

[Alacritous Crier]

31. And remember . . .

SHE WILL NEVER LIE TO YOU!

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

33. calling for his momma maybe.

other than that, she said it, so i dont believe it.

[TimeToGo]

36. More thank likely she is not telling the truth

But, here's the thing -- when you lie about almost every single thing -- even things that don't matter -- even things that are clearly lies to anyone with half a brain -- eventually, no one will believe anything you say.

I think there was some kind of wolf story about such goings on.

[C_U_L8R]

37. Every minute he's out promoting himself

is a minute where he could have been healing instead.
If that's what you prefer, go ahead, knock yourself out.

[Richard D]

38. he's not tweeting . . .

. . . which likely means he's too sick to tweet.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

39. Here he comes now!

40. Remember when Bolsonaro was denying it was serious, & the guy next to him was sweating so badly...

...he kept wiping his face over & over? I think he was the Health Minister — anyway, he looked like he had a bad fever, glassy-eyed, the sweats.

That’s how I hope Trump looks when he decides he has to go on camera. Baghdad Barbie can stand next to Dear Leader for that.

[greenjar_01]

42. Jesus, knowing her credibility, he must be ready to crash out

[ffr]

43. For one second, I just want to see Cult45s treating thier messiah like a leper

Ew! You're contagious!

[beachbumbob]

45. 14 hours of twitter silence and trump is on calls NOW? total BULLSHIT, they need more believable

lies or at least have SOME ONE send out tweets

[Happyhippychick]

46. When he's lying in state?

[Ms. Toad]

47. Pretty much exactly what they said about Herman Cain.

Until he died.

Something about being in good spirits and asking for snickers.
