Yeah they completely obscured him being taken into the helicopter.. wow.

Edit: well just read that he waved to the media when he walked out in a suit so maybe ABC's just covering this like shirt.

 

[wardorican]

Wow, I actually wish he was more like this. Very polite and to the point. Actually sounded pretty good.

White House SCOTUS announcement is suspected as Covid super-spreader event as video shows infected senator hugging attendees

Could Saturday’s Rose Garden event be the key to tracking spread?

Video of Mike Lee hugging people without a mask on at the Barrett announcement. He tested positive and could be the spreader for this.

That guy looks just like Trump!

So you’re saying Covid-Trump > Normal-Trump?

Yeah all things considered, I actually thought he looked well.

Here's Chris Wallace's perspective which I think is valuable because he's considered the consummate fair journalist and he has some first hand insights that others don't have.

Jim Acosta, of course, is CNN’s White House beat reporter.

I'm drinking, so forgive me. Is that because he walked up some stairs? I mean, he's not in great health.

I still hope he recovers quickly, but I am worried at his age and weight.

Sad but true

The sad thing is Trump had the capacity to be a true populist and moderate but once he got in bed with the far right to secure the GOP nomination, it seems he felt bound to them in perpetuity.

Yes.

He loves having a group that eats the red meat straight out of his hand and the power that that makes him feel and the power that it's given to him that's been real.

Sometimes people change when faced with their own mortality. He did seem genuine.

The real test is if he can refer to liberals or the left without trying to make it sound derogatory.

Come on now, let’s not retcon history this soon because of one canned speech.

Trump rode into politics on the back of being the largest bullhorn for a racist conspiracy, advocating the death penalty for innocent black teens, priding himself on being the most crass water-carrier for GOP white identity animus, staking out a position as the most Islamaphobic man in a room, and talking of brown people as rapists and killers, Trump as a moderate force was never in the cards.

A for instance, if he had delivered some form of universal health care, the majority of the country would have praised him for it. Instead, out of his personal vendetta against Obama, he went the other direction and dismantled the closest thing we've had to some form of universal health care without replacing it with anything else.

Chris forking Wallace!

 

[Optimus Prime]

I think this is an appropriate response to the situation.

If Biden had been the one to test positive I’m sure Trump’s remarks would have been just as gracious
