Trump’s Coronavirus Treatment: Here’s What We Know | Talking Points Memo

White House protocol is to test daily. If they did, and he was negative on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, then the question, which has been asked repeatedly, of when his last negative test was, would be clearly answered in order to absolve the president. Instead it is obfuscated (Conley and McEnany both point blank refused to answer it). Wallace reported that they arrived late at the debate and so flouted the requirement of a test.

I appreciate that this is not “proof” that they knew before the debate, but positive proof could only come from members of a complicit White House. The case that #rockitttla is making is that if we watch what they are covering up, we can glimpse the shape of the underlying crime. And it is worse than going to Bedminster the day after everyone knew Hicks was symptomatic. Which is pretty awful to start with.

I’ll tell you what his hospitalization makes him look like. A dumbass who ignored sound scientific and medical advice.

Compared to the stress effects of his rage when he doesn’t get what he wants immediately?

They test the people around him daily. We don’t have word on how often he gets tested, likely almost not at all, because he’s felt safe since everyone around him is being tested.

And he didn’t like it when he was tested, and they treat him like the spoiled baby he is.

So when McDaniel accompanies him to three states on Friday, and from Saturday on stays home, it was to order to avoid the testing protocol and maintain plausible deniability on Trump’s exposure to Covid.

Making the debate possible.

I understand he got a lollipop afterward, for being such a good boy.

unless they suspected he had it and deferred testing in order to maintain plausible deniability?

I am not accusing him, just raising the question, and I have heard people say that. (Faux news defense)

It was bad enough that he contracted Covid in the manner that he did, by ignoring the science and not taking reasonable precautions -even Republicans hold him personally responsible and he’s lost further support.

But if that wasn’t bad enough, his actions since have been even more devastating to his re-election bid, and he’s incapable of realizing it. From the White House press corp to Congressional Democrats to his big donors to his Secret Service, and, most importantly, the American people, are all thoroughly disgusted and repelled by his antics. Forget Covid, he’s killing himself.

Just a guess, but if Trump was intubated for the first debate, it would’ve added a few more points to his score.:smirk:
