Don't be afraid guys. When your medical staff at your house starts to worry about your symptoms, hop on your helicopter to the hospital, meet with your team of the best doctors, have them throw on every promising COVID drug they have available, easy as 1-2-3. 

 

I'm sure there's 210,000 people who would agree with this if they weren't dead from Covid.

No one told them COVID should have made them stronger and feel better than they have in 20 years? 

 

Honestly was hoping this situation would give him perspective, but its appears like he will settle for the worst possible takeaway from this. 

 

Also, I'm sure he is somewhat out of the woods, but there is still a chance he has to return to the hospital which would really make him look ridiculous.

Vanity Fair - not exactly a good hard news source, but I'll run with it. 

If the below is true it raises a few questions  and it shows the dysfunction of that family unit which appears to be run by fear.

 

Maybe an intervention on behalf of the country is needed - crazy dad needs to step aside for the good of the country.

 

 

Seems I recall there as a post that Trump was signing blank sheets of paper during his hospital photo op.  Seen quote  below about his father Fred.

Donald Trump’s erratic and reckless behavior in the last 24 hours has opened a rift in the Trump family over how to rein in the out-of-control president, according to two Republicans briefed on the family conversations. Sources said Donald Trump Jr. is deeply upset by his father’s decision to drive around Walter Reed National Military Medical Center last night with members of the Secret Service while he was infected with COVID-19. “Don Jr. thinks Trump is acting crazy,” one of the sources told me. The stunt outraged medical experts, including an attending physician at Walter Reed. 

 

According to sources, Don Jr. has told friends that he tried lobbying Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Jared Kushner to convince the president that he needs to stop acting unstable. “Don Jr. has said he wants to stage an intervention, but Jared and Ivanka keep telling Trump how great he’s doing,” a source said. Don Jr. is said to be reluctant to confront his father alone. “Don said, ‘I’m not going to be the only one to tell him he’s acting crazy,’” the source added. 

One area where the family seems united is over the president’s manic tweeting early Monday morning. After Trump sent out more than a dozen all-caps tweets, the Trump children told people they want Trump to stop. “They’re all worried. They’ve tried to get him to stop tweeting,” a source close to the family told me.

The Trump family’s private concern about Trump’s behavior could raise questions about his fitness for office.

Trump has been prescribed drugs that medical experts say can seriously impair his cognitive function. Last night the New York Times reported that steroids, which Trump is reportedly taking, specifically dexamethasone, are known to “affect mood, causing euphoria or a general happiness.”

 

There is a long history in the Trump family of denying serious illness. According to a Trump family friend, Trump’s father, Fred Trump Sr., insisted on working even after his Alzheimer’s disease advanced in the 1990s. “To retire is to expire!” Fred Sr. would say. The friend said that as Fred Sr.’s disease worsened––he once came down the stairs wearing three neckties––the family created a system so that Fred could think he was still running the Trump Organization. Every day Fred Sr. would go to the office in Brooklyn and they would give him blank papers to sort through and sign. The phone on Fred’s desk was set up so that it could only dial out to his secretary. “Fred pretended to work,” the family friend said.

That tweet strikes me as Trump's "H.W. not knowing the price of a gallon of milk" moment.

 

How out of touch can one possibly be?

He's tweeting with his drug induced emotional high.

I am 100% convinced now he never had it. I thought hed go in the opposite direction and say hes taking it more seriously. Hes using it to say it isnt that bad. Man, he is a POS human.

This has been the stance of every member of his administration and the bulk of the Republican party. Grow a pair.

And now they're just not going to do any contract tracing.  At all.

 

Because as trump has said, if you don't test, you get less positives.
