Heh! All that undiagnosed hypothyroidism.

A rhetorical question really!

Or are they so stupid they can't join up the dots?
I think they just enjoy the rapture of religious fervour that they get from bypassing their rational minds (such as they have them) and venerating the dear leader
he's a kind of comfort blanket for them and they just need to think that he's good and right irrespective of....well irrespective of the facts
sad, but they are a simple tribal people, that's what they gravitate to?

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows would not provide details on what treatment the president is receiving after testing positive for coronavirus.

“He’s in the residence now, and in true fashion, he’s probably critiquing the way that I’m answering these questions,” Meadows told reporters at the White House.

Meadows said he and another senior White House adviser, Dan Scavino, had tested negative for the virus.

“At the same time, I fully expect that as this virus continues to go on, other people in the White House will certainly have a positive test result,” Meadows said.

Meadows also confirmed the White House learned of Hope Hicks’ positive test result yesterday, as Marine One was taking off to start the president’s trip to New Jersey

Despite that, Trump continued on to New Jersey and held a fundraising event with donors

Biden negative for Coronavirus

I got deleted from that thread about whether you believe he's got it

There's a strange person on there saying she doesn't believe he's got it but she still likes Trump because he's the only politician she knows of who tells the truth about himself. Confused or...?! (As a side note, it seems a lot of the posters on the pro-Trump side, or pretending not to be pro-Trump while slyly sticking the boot into his opponents, have very motherly sorts of names.) The Biden creepy video got another mention as well. Keep saying a thing long enough and eventually everyone will remember they heard it a long time ago so there must be some truth in it.

[quote TheNorthWestPawsage]This>>>>>

A reminder to all Americans that the net effect of our prime minister catching COVID-19 was that it prompted a surge of patriotic support. From which he emerged with renewed popularity. Which enabled him to tear up key functions of the state.

It also silenced press & parliament at key moment in crisis from asking critical questions. And when it was announced he was moving to intensive care was moment of national shock. Everything about this is rocket fuel for ‘patriotism’

That's exactly what I thought.

He gets out of the debates or offers to do it online (where he can have 'support' of various kinds in the room but off camera).

He comes back and crows about his superior genes (feeding into the racism he always spouts).

How can anyone believe a word that he or his doctors says?

The Bidens are negative though.

Not that the Trumpies even warned them that this was going on.

Then there's the little matter of those pesky taxes and the NYT.

ps There seems to be a general acceptance that it's probably true because Hope Hicks had already tested positive. But how confident can one be that hers is genuine? It's not as if she hasn't got form for lying on her boss's behalf.

Apologies for quoting myself but re the last 2 paragraphs... I would like to hear McNinny justifying Trump continuing on to that fundraiser despite knowing that Hope Hicks had tested postive considering they had shared a plane and copter ride, with no precautions in place

He gets out of the debates or offers to do it online (where he can have 'support' of various kinds in the room but off camera)

There's no way he can do the debate via Zoom, McNinny would be standing behind the camera with her infamous big white folder, holding up flashcards for him to read

Lots of skepticism on social media about all of this.

McNinny is the pits, she really is. She just lies all the time.

Pleased about Biden. Jared and Ivanka also negative.

I wonder about all the Trump family sat in the front row without masks despite it being obligatory
Can't imgine they've all got away testing negative...

could it be just another attempt to create chaos and buy him time?

Kamala also negative.

Following myself: I wrote *All that undiagnosed hypothyroidism.

D'you suppose that Trump could be persuaded to advocate iodine as a sure-fire way to keep Covid at bay? it might cure some of his supporters.

Or it could be taking advantage of her positive result to launch an 'offensive' to get votes.

And God knows, he's as 'offensive' as it's possible to be.

Trump seems to have that little recognised strain of Covid that paralyses ones Tweeting finger.
He's been uncharacteristicly quiet

McNinny is the pits, she really is. She just lies all the time
I detest her too, but she seems to have balls of steel
she's a weaponised mean girl on steroids

Covid that paralyses
already, the blood thickens in his extremities:)

I agree Heffa
In her favour as I'm being magnanimous.... she doesn't get phased, she checks her facts, she lies in a professional way and is excellent at twisting the facts.

My thoughts are he's about to fake his own death to get out of all the tax dodging stuff about to put him away. Well I can but hope he rides of into the sunset never to be seen or heard of again.

His team have probably confiscated his phone. Do you think they’ve changed his Twitter password so he’s locked out of his account?
