Trump Is Itching To Leave Walter Reed

It’s possible Trump could be discharged Monday, but the exact timing remains to be seen.

I don’t know about you, but a news bite which uses the terms ‘Trump’, ‘itching’, and ‘discharge’ leave me slightly nauseous.

Go for it. When things go south, much more likely for us all to see it live on tv.

Just more proof he doesn’t give a damn about anyone else but himself. He put his Secret Service detail in jeopardy with his car ride because he needed his fix of adoration from his supporters.

Via remote–they’ll just round up as many magats and goobers as they can coax into a high school gymnasium and he’ll speak to them on a 100 foot screen. Trumpmania: not Trump, but an incredible simulation.

If he’s in covid school I guess he was absent the day they taught about how he’s not out of the woods yet and things can turn bad in a real hurry.

CNN reported that Trump is itching to leave Walter Reed,

It’s like he’s being run by a parasitic fungus that takes over the central nervous system and pushes the host to suicide to assure its own propagation.
Really, though, I don’t see that as a big change in his demeanor.

Unless he’s had it a lot longer than they are admitting to…

I was thinking that. There’s a reason they transport sick people in ambulances. To look strong, he would have to walk to and from Marine 1, with no help along the way.

Maybe an oxygen cannula would allow for that in his current condition. (Irony: by doing these kinds of stunts while seriously ill, trump might be significantly worsening his prognosis.) If he’s still on dex, there’s eventually going to be a crash.

Trump fears his hospitalization makes him look “weak.”

Nah.

The mask does : - )

You know what actually makes him look weak? Being really, really weak.

Yeah, he’s smarter than any of the docs. Nobody’s telling him anything.

Trump must STAY RIGHT THERE until he either dies or has a Lysol-coated UV light shoved up his ass. You know, for ongoing treatment.

Next question to his doctors has to be, “Did you have to sign an NDA before treating the President?”

Every event with Trump is soiled by his malignant personality.

Even this

And that malignant personality demands drama, attention, doubt and fear…and, as has been noted before, the Office compels our interest.

I’m pretty sure there was a glass divider that most all limos have between the chauffeur and the back seat.
I’'d bet money that fortified Suburban had one. Secret Service was most likely in front driving with the divider up.
Melania already has it and she was the only one in the back seat with him.

Staying in hospital room watching FoxNews all day or sitting in the White House watching FoxNews all day.

What’s the difference?

Maybe I am wrong, but it doesn’t make sense that there would be a glass divider in the suburban. Since it can be hermetically sealed, if the driver can still get gassed, the president would not be able to go anywhere. There could be one for privacy though .

Shear said the White House had made no efforts to contact trace, even as the list of public officials who have tested positive in the President’s orbit grows.

Doesn’t matter the reality, all the major nightly news broadcast last week and this weekend told their viewers that the WH was doing contact tracing because the WH lied about it last week to them and no one thought ‘hey we should probably confirm that’ since the MSN’s job seems to be little more than helping the Trump admin to spread the lies.
