Trump Campaigns Off Of Vague WH Doctor Memo To Absurdly Claim COVID Immunity

President Trump attempted to take full advantage of White House physician Dr. Sean Conley’s vague memo issued the night before — which declared Trump as no longer at risk of transmitting COVID-19, but does not address when he last tested negative — during an interview on Fox News on Sunday morning.

Seems rather desperate to hold onto the 37% or so that are going to vote for him no matter what. I don’t get the strategery here at all.

Only a real dummy would go to a Trump superspreader rally. Trump is still contagious. He’s still got COVID.

It’s officially a death cult.

There is no strategy. A needy malignant narcissist, Trump feeds off the mindless adoration of his deplorable cultists.

People who get sick are weak, in his mind. Therefore he is projecting strength by having it be nothing for him.

He’s been fever-free for more than 24 hours.

Immunity from reality.

A pre-existing condition.

And people thought he wouldn’t do this?

Conley thought he wouldn’t do this?

Doe that smug sonofabitch Con-Ley realize what he has done?

This is Genocide.

That’s not a protective glow, you moronic schmuck. That’s orange face paint.

I keep praying that he’ll go to all these events, get exhausted, hacking and wheezing and even less able to comprehend reality than he has been the rest of his life, and in mid-rant he’ll collapse in front of the rubes and be DOA by the time his face hits the floor.

There is no strategy. A politician would have a strategy, but he’s never learned how to be a politician. Instead, it’s all about feeding his narcissism with rallies, and constructing a reality in his head that all those pickup truck convoys and boat parades represent a huge hidden voting bloc that will reelect him.

Just a guess here but he probably has an albuterol rescue inhaler. You take a whiff and wait a few minutes for the coughing to subside. He’s probably good for about an hour depending on what kind of shape his lungs are in.

I thought about maybe the Orange Bastard would attend the Rally, let others talk/intro/etc. and conserve his energy.

Too many things would go wrong for him.

He’s most certainly immune -from all evidence, logic, reasoning, and reality. But that’s about it, until we see his vitals, chest x-rays, viral titers, etc.

The dude won’t even tell us when he last had a fever or last tested negative. Which is why they need to fill the rows with paid actors. I just hope the gig comes with health insurance, because they just might need it.

When you ask your doctor to be your PR flack, you end up with the worst of both worlds. He’s fooling no one.

Which means he’s had a fever sometime in the last 48 hours.

I have discovered a cure for cancer. Now, I have to leave The Hive to spend the next three weeks convincing people I did it.

Good luck. Don’t worry if you get cancer.

See you in Orlando!
