President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani received exceptional treatment for coronavirus over the past week, including, he said, advice from the White House chief doctor.

Giuliani, who was hospitalized on Sunday after contracting COVID-19, was transparent about the reality that he was treated like a "celebrity," like Trump and other close allies who have received access average Americans would not get.

"I think if it wasn't me I wouldn't have been put in the hospital," Giuliani, the former mayor of New York, acknowledged on Tuesday when he phoned in from his Washington hospital room to a radio show he typically hosts on the WABC radio station, which is not affiliated with ABC News.

Giuliani said the president's physician at the White House had pushed him to check himself into the hospital, even though Giuliani said at the time he was resistant to doing so. He tweeted Thursday that the doctor was Sean Conley, the president's chief physician.

It must be great when you can act recklessly, accuse health professionals who urge caution of being elitists, and when you end up sick, you get "celebrity" care from the same "elitists" that you disparage.

[Blue Owl]

2. Oh sure, let's coddle the superspreading piece of shit

Fuck Guiliani

[niyad]

3. And just how many ordinary people can "check themselves into the hospital" for an, obviously,

mild (if at all) case of CoViD. How f'n DARE he!! And Conley???? Pity his license is not suspended what is the oath? First do no harm. Sycophantic suckup.

[bluestarone]

4. I know we have HIPPA regulations BUT

Is there a way to see what public officials receive as treatment? With public money we SHOULD be able to see what OUR money went to? ALL these bigshots treatment should be made publc! ( i'm just talking about the COST, NOT the treatment)

[Gothmog]

5. This is disgusting!' MSNBC's Mika goes off on special treatment for Trump's COVID-infected buddies

6. fuck you Rudy....

vile piece of shit...

[demigoddess]

7. very disgusting, a real american would want all people to be treated

as well as he and drumpf were. But normal americans are tossed out to just die.And the stress is on the nurses and doctors who treat them.

[Raine]

8. The only people who don't get "celebrity" treatments are

the average guys & gals.

[keithbvadu2]

11. The average guys & gals who get sick and die are 'almost nothing' acc to the Trumps.

9. Insensitive

POS. Why can’t he stfu?

10. Must be the 96 hour COVID.

Must be the 96 hour COVID.

12. Well, I'm telling you - I'm disappointed in the virus

I was kind of thinking it would , just maybe, tweak his empathy bone and give him some degree of sensitivity to the suffering of "the ordinary person)- you know, us peons

[Mr.Bill]

13. The way he stated it

is a huge insult to the integrity of health care professionals everywhere. They take great pride in the principle that all patients are treated the same.

[mdbl]

14. It's really too bad someone so undeserving

gets royal treatment. Just like golden toilet seat Don.

[birdographer]

16. This treatment

to cure the virus almost entirely in 3 days is out there. It is known, it has been used successfully on at least 2 people so far. But Americans continue to die, thousands a day, waiting for a vaccine that is months away. This country sucks.

[Grokenstein]

17. Why is anyone surprised at this?

"I got mine, fuck you" has been Republicanism for years. When the criminally wealthy aren't actively picking your pocket, they get Big Dick Energy from enjoying things to which you will never have access...and making sure you see them enjoying it.

This isn't Runny Roo-Roo being stupid. This is him being Republican.

What are you going to do about it?

[fantase56]

18. darn, really hoped he'd.......

Herman Cain on us

[Rebl2]

19. Have a friend

that is a nurse practitioner and she says no way is anyone getting the medications people like trump and gouliani and all his henchmen are getting.

[Ahpook]

20. What a rat

290k dead plus family and friends dealing with this, and he says that?

Who the fuck are these people, and why are they supported by a large portion of our country.

It is absolutely insane!

[C Moon]

22. That's a shame.
