President Trump and First Lady have tested positive for Virus (Update: Trump to undergo televised ‘medical exam’ Friday night) (4 Viewers)

It’s from an office at Walter Reed so I’m sure the IV is hidden or he threw on the coat and shirt between treatments or something

He looks more genuine because he doesn't have an orange coat of paint on. And I'm sure he's getting some drugs for 'comfort' aside from the standard treatment.

Oh sure, there could be something antecubital (inside of elbow) but they don’t like to use that site, they’d rather put it in the back of the hand. I wouldn’t think they would remove the site every day, since there’s an infection risk every time they establish an IV site, and it’d be easy to use the one site for the duration of the treatment. It’s just a little weird is all.

I don't what you guys are talking about sounding like a changed person, even briefly. He just bragged about toughing out the virus at work by leaving work to go to the hospital...

Same here, he sounds no different to me, just a slightly toned down malignant narcissist compared to his normally over the top, windbag malignant narcissist.

I think it’s just that the bar is so low for him if he opens his mouth and something absolutely nuts doesn’t come out people do a balloon drop and start making snow angels in the confetti.

Someone needs to tell Trump’s people that zoom image exists:




Really kills the North Korean vibe they are going for when you can zoom in and see the president is just signing his name on a blank piece of paper...

I'm guessing they shot a whole bunch of stock photos of Trump when he got there, so they could trickle them out no matter what or how he's actually doing while there.

Regardless, we now know that the propaganda aspect of Trump hasn't changed one bit.

ETA probably also did the same thing with stock video footage. If any more videos come out and Trump doesn't mention any new events or specific information that came out since the previous video was released, that might be a clue that the video was pre-shot.

They filmed the video message, they set up this photo shoot, took the folders from the table and rearranged them on the second table for the second shot, maybe a few other shots. Then back to bed he goes. The black folder has the menu for room service.

It's one thing to speculate about what might be happening, it's another thing altogether to make definitive claims like above.

What credible information do you have to support that what you've said above is true? Nothing in the photos presented support the claims you made.

And honestly, that closeup photo is not very compelling evidence that he signed a blank document.

Let's hold ourselves to the same standards we hold others to.

I think the menu comment makes it pretty clear that he’s just conjecturing.

I don't agree, because it's stated so definitively. They didn't say "probably" or "may be" or "might be."

A poster wouldn't be allowed to say "the wrinkle in Biden's shirt was a wire for an earpiece" without push back. This instance should be treated no differently.

Trump is the king of the photo op. Would adding the word "probably" have helped?

Also why is there always so much paper around him all the time? It's the digital age. I have a hard time believing they still do everything with manilla folders and thousands of sheets of paper.

Also what is he signing????? I want to kmow

@LA - L.A.

Dan Rather with the succinct take on this whole narrative.



Oh, and the meta data from the two still photos show that they were taken 10 minutes apart. Pretty sure they were just staged photo ops, rather than photos of him actually doing any work.

I would question why the photographer was allowed to be in the room at all, especially with a Covid patient. I don’t know any hospital that would allow this, it’s a pretty strict no visitors policy.

From that tracker. Didn't realize Christie is also in the hospital.

Obviously since he probably knows the McDs value menu by heart now
