Again, I am very skeptic of anything these people do, and I don't put it past them to plan a show thinking that people would pity him and vote for him, plus the added benefit of a superman recovery where "he beat the virus in only three days".

And those Drs. should be reviewed for what seems to be lies, and at a minimum for putting all that crap into a sick man's body. If true, it was all experimental. Mostly Conley who seemed to be enjoying the spot light big time.

It won't be long before both his lungs and his heart issue's get exposed more. there's likely been permanent damage done ,which he'll hide it as long as he can. trump's in bad health , and now even mental issues are being seen. His doctors statements are not credible anymore, like his aren't. They're promoting his propaganda for him, or they lose their jobs.

The president himself "reports" no new symptoms. It doesn't say they have detected no new symptoms. It doesn't say he has no symptoms. All it says is he says he has no "new" symptoms.

It is legalistic double speak. He still has all the symptoms he had. His blood ox level is as low as 95%, which ain't perfect.

It doesn't matter if he has any "new" symptoms if his existing symptoms, which include pneumonia, are still present.

And it especially does not matter what he says about his health since he lies constantly.

Not only that, he lost 75 pounds while he was in the hospital, played a round of golf where he shot 9 holes-in-one, ran a four minute mile, cured cancer, and held rallies in ten different cities whose names we can't recall just now, where adoring crowds of 50,000 plus cheered him wildly, wearing no masks, and causing no new Covid-19 infections.

God, if he is able to continue to seem well and push this crap it will be awful for all of us because many more people will ignore all protection advice.

I did hear that 10 days after symptoms emerge is when you can see where the virus is heading so if he's hale and hearty this weekend we can assume he's won again on this issue and it will be harder on all of us.

I am one who believes if ANYONE deserves the worst of COVID, it's Trump; but it is entirely possible he had a mild version of COVID and they brought him to the hospital because he is the one sitting in the president's chair. They pumped him full of crap to beat it early.

Just be ready if he's out campaigning next week. We'll need to bring his taxes, and all the other dirt back to the forefront and forget all about the COVID tease.
