Trump's concept of returning to work is halting covid stimulus negotiations until after the elections.

And the stockmarket didn't like it (can't find link now).

@Roussette

I read that Twitter hid his tweet and FB deleted it, I do hope so, because it is just lies. Let's hope they did do that, can't bear to go and look on his twitter feed as it gives me the rage lol

I do look at his twitter feed but I accept that whatever he tweets will be bollocks, but what is really scary is the devotion of his supporters' replies. Including such gems as "I can't decide who I love more - Jesus or Our President"

Trump's concept of returning to work is halting covid stimulus negotiations until after the elections.

And saying that requiring vaccine research to be carried out to reasonably high standards is a plot to hurt his re-election chances.

@Phoenix21

Trump is manic tweeting tonight. I now think he does have Covid but I also stand by my original theory - his minders encouraged hospitalisation to take crazy out of circulation.

Clearly the phone confiscation has ended, I guess his phone guardian is now sick and he is tweeting like a toddler with a sweetie jar.

If he was human I’d feel a bit sorry for him in the way that you do with vulnerable people.

Does anyone know what i am doing wrong on Twitter, whose workings I cannot fathom? How can I see all his tweets? Clicking on him, I only see a few, some are a few days old. But why can't I see his all his recent manic tweets?

[quote Phoenix21]A US pundit referred to Trump’s balcony scene as Covita.

The Lincoln Project clearly ran with this thought

Oh bravo👏 that's brilliant🤩

Just marking place, long time lurker but I keep losing this thread.

Thank you for your dedicated posting.

Hello Honey.

Did we know this already?
thehill.com/homenews/media/519418-chris-wallace-trump-arrived-too-late-to-be-tested-in-ohio-before-debate-relied

I wonder why he intentionally avoided getting tested...

@TheSilveryPussycat

Are you on Twitter or just looking as a guest? Not sure if that affects it, but when I click on his name, all his tweets come up in their magnificent horror.
Just make sure you're looking at @realDonaldTrump and not the US Government account @POTUS which he doesn't use to rant and rave

Hi Honey I'm home! (sorry couldn't resist!)
Welcome back.

Bruce Ha! Yes, I read he arrived too late to be tested for the Debate and there was an 'honour'agreement whereby he said he had been tested back at the WH and it was negative
The words 'Trump' and 'honour' .... an oxymoron, should never be in the same sentence

Best way to see his tweets is with

mobile.twitter.com/UnfollowTrump

That was you done have to follow him and don't have to count as looking at his Twitter feed.

Phone fingers! 'That way you don't'

Yes - @UnfollowTrump is the best way! Don't give him the clicks.

Kk just saw headline in NYTimes. Those poor mothers and babies. Could America get any more disgusting? Its like Trump is constantly trying to one-up all the other evil leaders in the world.

Interesting opinion column in the Washington Post media section today. I'm afraid it's true, and the same unfortunately goes for Boris Johnson in Britain. www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/media/trump-doesnt-need-russian-trolls-to-spread-disinformation-the-mainstream-media-does-it-for-him/2020/10/06/9612d602-07da-11eb-9be6-cf25fb429f1a_story.html

I follow UnfollowTrump but I find it really slow to show his tweets, don't know why.
I don't follow Trump, yuk couldnt bear to, I just go and look when I see something is going on...

This is one of the things that infuriates my DH. He says all the MSM should say is "The POTUS spouted some of his usual lies and fear-mongering propaganda today. We are not going to repeat the specifics of what he said as we don't want to spread it. Rest assured, it was all pure bullshit".

OK, maybe they'll need to rephrase the last sentence.

"In a series of claims today, Trump produced one accurate comment.

"The following other things, which he said, are found when fact-checked to have been inaccurate."

So will we get a staged photo of Trump sat at the resolute desk dressed in his jammies surrounded by staff in full covid PPE?

Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says President Trump wants to resume working from the Oval Office and they now have precautions in place to allow for that. Any staff coming in contact with him will wear gowns, gloves, mask, eye protection

Sadly still some people who believe Trump. Can't believe how they think the rest of the world is the conspirators. Thankfully this poster isn't a friend of mine so no need to delete him.

Did Trump say something about being (becoming) immune?

@TheSilveryPussycat you cannot see them because your device loves and protects you!

I don’t follow covita, when I want to raise my blood pressure I just search his name on Twitter then click on his handle.

I have been definitely told (information from the labs in Oxford) that there are at least two quite distinct strains of Sars-Cov-2 known to exist; the two I am sure about are "straight from China" and "via Italy". I suppose one (the Italy one, I think was what was suggested) might be more severe while the other is less so, and that having had one would not necessarily protect you from the other.

It has been postulated that New York might have mostly had a strain that was distinct from the one in California, for instance. I don't know how far investigation of that might have progressed.
