or was never sick

The whole thing has been a hoax.
You don't recover from a critical case of covid enough to be riding around within 2 days of hospitalization. You don't get released from a critical covid case after a weekend hospital stay.
So, was it serious enough to require hospitalization and the medicines he supposedly received? Or was this a distraction from the lousy debate performance and the release of Melania's tapes?
One or the other. It cannot be both.

2. HE never had it and tried to use it to fake out the country, to think he was CURED... AND IS HEALTHY ..which would be total bullshit.

It's hard to believe that he could pull off a hoax with the doctors and staff of Walter Reed going along with it.
But it's equally hard to believe that the doctors and staff would go along with his hand waving ride if he was really sick. Not to mention the Secret Service agents in the car with him. A sane person would refuse and quit his job. Unless there is no risk. But that would lead back to the original notion that Walter Reed staff and doctors are complicit with a hoax.
Nothing in this whole business fits a rational explanation.

(41,831 posts)the first thing they did was take my clothes and stuff away (except my phone) and given a gown. I was on ALL KINDS OF MONITORS... where is HIS gown??? where is his Monitors?? NO doctor would let me go out nor even have my own clothes back until the doctor allows it.
What the fuck is going on at WALTER REED??
wnylib
(21,417 posts)is that Walter Reed is complicit with whichever stunt is being performed here. As the C in C Trump's orders can supercede the wishes of the doctors.
But if he really was as sick as reported, this drive by ego trip could set back his recovery.

(10,901 posts)"That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of COVID19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play," Dr. James P. Phillips, who is also the Chief of Disaster Medicine at George Washington University Emergency Medicine.
"Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential 'drive-by' just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity," he continued.

If he isn't really sick, apparently Dr. Phillips didn't get the memo.

I'm sure the secret service guys watching all this from outside the vehicle will be interested. Are they THAT expendable?
'Driving Mad Donny' isn't a good reason to die.

(790 posts)The gentlemen in the SUV with Trump will now need to be isolated. Trump's behavior illustrates that he cares not one iota for the well-being of *anyone* other than himself. He is a menace to society. He is the vector.

I just want to know why they didn't just chain his fat ass to the back of the SUV and drag his fat ass around the hospital. Oh well, they have another chance to do that when he leaves to go back to the WH. Don't go easy on those corners boys. Make it look like he's tied to the back of a ski boat.
