Thank you for the new thread GTDF.

I heard a snippet of Trump's interview this morning--the part where he starts to cough and puts himself on mute.

www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-virginia-governor-ralph-northam-executed-baby-abortion-fox-news-interview-b906450.html

'President Donald Trump falsely claimed in an interview on Thursday night that Virginia governor Ralph Northam "executed a baby".'

Thanks for the new thread!

What little fish?

'The president castigated his own team, declaring that Attorney General William P. Barr would go down in history “as a very sad, sad situation” if he did not indict Democrats like Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama. He complained that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had not released Hillary Clinton’s emails, saying, “I’m not happy about him for that reason.” And he targeted Christopher A. Wray, the F.B.I. director. “He’s been disappointing,” Mr. Trump said.'

What's Nancy up to? Saying that Trump needs to have an assessment so -see if they can kick him out- assess his fitness for office, because he's clearly approaching peak crazy?!

You've got to admire her tenacity to keep trying! And this nonsense about Trump planning a rally in Florida tomorrow night, not that he's abided by any rules but he's certainly not done 14 days isolation, so clearly should not be out yet!

Surely to goodness he has to go!

Not entirely devoid of sense here:

What little fish?

The ones that smell like cucumbers and have been taking all the water from California 😂😂😂😂 honestly, you couldn't make it up!

Whoopie-doo.

Tonight: Trump's "first on-camera interview" since falling ill with covid "will take place on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' at 8 p.m. ET. Dr. Marc Siegel will conduct a medical evaluation and interview during the program."

Interview should be interesting, though I assume that the Fox doctor is an ardent Trumpist.

I noticed in Trumps video ? this morning where he was singing the praises if his treatment, he said before he was given the drug he was "Very ill" which is odd as he insisted when at WR that he had never been anything other than perfectly ok.

Everyone's fault but his.

There's an Irish catchphrase for that "All those soldiers are out of step apart from Our Wee Jimmy"

From the Guardian link upthread: "Frankly, [Trump] is an anecdote".

I wish!

Also, he's noticed how little water all his claims hold, so he's trying to pull them together by saying he was "very, very sick" when he walked to get into the helicopter to take him the the Walter Reed.

Now I'm thinking about the little fish ...

lion he was going on about the little fish who were not very well without water.
The ones in California which is because all their water is pumped in to the ocean to save the little fish
I am not joking

Yep
And always sits there looking very gormless when listening to anything

Is it correct that Trump is having a medical evaluation live on Fox tonight?

ancel your Friday night plans immediately and prepare to be thrilled and maybe a little bit sick—because President Donald Trump is apparently going to have a “medical evaluation” on television. In an announcement from Fox News, the network said Trump is set to do his first on-camera interview since his COVID-19 diagnosis with Tucker Carlson tonight. But, in a significantly more interesting bit of the announcement, Fox News confirmed: “Dr. Marc Siegel will conduct a medical evaluation and interview during the program'

I hope he doesn't have to take his clothes off...

Oh dear Roussette.

It would be deeply embarrassing all round if Trump is so obviously firing on about 2.5 cylinders out of eight that even Siegel has to acknowledge he's not a-ok.

It isn't going to happen, but Gol it would be funny if it did!

We can but wish can't we...

What is he going to do? Take BP? Take blood? Temperature? Get him to bend over?!

Here's a link just in case anyone thinks I'm making sh1t up, because to be honest, it sounds like I am!

Apparently it will be a remote assessment - Trump in the White House and Dr Siegel in New York.

So that will be a thorough medical evaluation then

The thing is with covid and I know from friends/relations who have had it... there are many many ups and downs. It can be good one day, not the next, and if he has 'long covid' as they call it, even worse.

His family are remarkably quiet.

"Right Mr President, I just want to do a routine prostate exam. Can you stick your finger up your bottom please. No? Well, can you ask the Vice President to do it instead?"

It isn't going to happen, but Gol it would be funny if it did!

They might be aiming a jet of pure oxygen at him from off camera to help his breathing?
