I agree. BTW, did she get Barron's and her's trust funds fully funded? If not, then she might have to go back to "modeling" when Trump is hauled off to prison.

pneumonia and still coughed after he was taken out of quarantine. After you are quarantined for fourteen days supposedly your load of virus is so low your can’t infect anyone. This is what I was told by my Dad’s doctor. I still question that.

It's sad that we don't know if she's actually sick, or just using it to avoid helping her beloved husband keep the job he loves so much.

She's SO UNFAIR to him.

Never got tested because, you know. He had a bronchitis type cough and congestion for 2 months....and to this day still has a lingering cough.

Not surprised melanoma has a linger cough at all.
