There’s Still So Much That’s Been Kept Secret About Trump’s COVID Diagnosis | Talking Points Memo

White House officials said on Tuesday that in spite of the appearance of rigorous daily coronavirus testing, President Donald Trump had not been tested everyday for COVID-19 before he announced he had fallen ill with the virus last week.

It is a shame that Trump is surrounded by his ostensibly all-powerful reality distortion field. It would be beneficial, indeed exemplary, to disclose as much as possible about the effects of covid on his body and mind, and the actual efficacy of his various treatments. Instead we are treated to 13th century theater.

What Trump “learned” about COVID-19 is that his only way forward is to move Walter Reed back to the White House, stop giving briefings from actual doctors, and “play it down” by lying about when he last tested negative, what treatments he’s receiving, what drugs he’s on, and how he’s actually doing.

Oh, and he also “learned” that he should never mention his wife or young son.

Stooges, paid slaves, minions, enablers, cult-people, facsists, sycophants…and more.

For the last four years, we should have been paying more attention to them.

I fully expect behavior reminiscent of a pinball table heading toward TILT status today.
He is mad at the polls.
He is mad that Ratliffe’s latest Obamagate bullshit isn’t blowing up
He is mad that people are NOT saying he must be a superman to survive the virus, but rather he is an idiot for catching it and endangering other people
He is coming down from powerful drugs
He is still sick

My wife finds his complete lack of any mention of his wife to be borderline criminal. No updates on her condition, or even any thoughts/prayers about her sickness. Almost as if it’s a sham marriage…

If she croaks he’s the beneficiary on the life insurance policy, and it negates the prenup. A twofer.

And given the type and dosages of the drugs, he will undoubtedly have stomach issues of one sort or another to exacerbate his crankiness.

She’d wade through COVID-infested water, huh? Last I checked, that probably wouldn’t do anything to you, Heather. You’ll have to huff his used mask if you want to really impress us.

I can’t decide if this or the TLP Covita is funnier. I just hope Trump gets to see them.
