Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19

[General Tug Boat]

I'm glad to see that the president has remained in stable condition. How I know Trump backs his game, is that he was willing to be a guinea pig when he took that repurposed Ebola Drug vaccine. I guess perhaps they have made some advancements in the effectiveness of that if they were willing to use it on the most powerful man on the planet. Maybe they are making some level of advancement with the vaccine research. Considering Trump's age and weight, he would be at the beginning of that lethality curve,. I am glad to see the president remain in such high spirits, and this is why I like Trump, because of his positive demeanor. I am 100% certain that Trump is going to have a positive rebound in his approval rating as we've seen with Borris. Hopefully, there aren't too many complications at the end of his mild-illness and maybe as a nation, we can talk about putting an end to this fucking insanity which has been 2020.

While parsing the health news I remembered how Cain's treatment and prognosis was described:
"Former presidential candidate Herman Cain is receiving oxygen and improving as he remains hospitalized for Covid-19, according to his Twitter account. Cain "is still in the hospital being treated with oxygen for his lungs. In the meantime, the doctors say his other organs and systems are strong," his account tweeted in a thread on Monday. "Re-strengthening the lungs is a long and slow process, and the doctors want to be thorough about it." According to a subsequent tweet, "He really is getting better."
This was the narrative that continued for weeks (healthy people do not spend weeks in the hospital) and no further updates were given until he was completely dead. It was obvious bullshit but it makes me wonder about everything we see coming out of sources close to the president (including his personal doctor).

Since Cain was not a public official most of his treatment info came from his circle, so maybe the stuff we're hearing now is more reliable. But then again, given the way the executive office has tried to avoid 'panic' this year maybe it's isn't and if things were going bad, we might have no idea. Might be smart to have the president record a few videos upon testing positive to play later as a reassurance in case he can't due to his condition.

In 2006 Cain was diagnosed with cancer that doctors only gave him a 30% chance of surviving. He had chemotherapy and surgery, and it went into remission. To say the man had health complications Trump doesn't would be an understatement.

I googled "Herman Cain Cancer" and got a factcheck.org site specifically rebutting your argument.

So obviously that means you're right.

Since Jesus was a middle eastern jew from two millenia ago, he was barely around 5 and a half feet tall and was a shitskin.
Where's your identity politics now?

He could have been a pretty decent range of colors, but yeah, def not Chuck Norris Jesus.

He could turn water into wine, heal the sick, bring back the dead, walk in water, preform a wide array of miracles and came back from the dead.
Now you're telling me didn't have the power to make himself tall?

He expressly wasn’t supposed to have a lot of attractiveness so people wouldn’t follow him for vain reasons, in the Bible

This. Anyone who thinks anyone of the political class "cares" about them and votes based on that is a moron. Trump is good for rednecks because his power base is with them instead of the ivy league intelligentsia and therefore he panders more to them than establishment candidates do. There's still only so much he'll do because he can't piss off the wealthy backers that make him a somewhat viable politician, but he does more than any other Republican or Democrat is currently willing to do.

TL;DR: Politicians are whores. Find the one who wants to whore him or herself to you.

Yeah, I didn’t think of @Erischan‘s original question as “Have you lobbied Trump and gotten an ambassadorship” (spoiler: i have not), but I am now able to invest enough to have a set date for retirement, if all goes well. It certainly isn’t poverty to wealth; it’s just taxes were Too Damn High

His doctor already admitted he lied.
I also made a post earlier showing that Sean Conley and CoS Mark Meadows contradicted each other within minutes apart.

That actually says that Cain didn't die of cancer, which wasn't the argument I was making at all. Coronavirus killed him, but Coronavirus is much more likely to kill people who have other serious health problems, which Cain did because of his cancer. Among other things, chemotherapy is notorious for devastating the immune system.

But if they argued against what you did say they'd have to say you're right, and that's not allowed.

Well if he had chemotherapy, odds are that created more of a risk factor for Covid-19 than what the colon cancer did. Heart problems and reduced lung capacity are very common long term side effects of chemotherapy.

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump has to step down due to complications of the Coronavirus. A 70+ shouldn't really be in a position to work when they have some deadly or unhealthy happening to him but Trump is in the same spot as Ginsberg as entire political establishment is relying on him and would have him in a vegetative state while being president.

This is also one of the leakiest administrations in history so it doesn't make sense to imagine they could cover up what his health was really like even if they wanted to.

And Trump's own physician trying to sound upbeat really doesn't sound strange and I'm not sure how that's contradicting Meadows being worried.

Other older people to worry about:

> Reagan post shooting
> Biden who is older
> Congress is actually just a museum of palaeontology

No, he shouldn’t need to.

1. He hasn’t had multiple bouts of cancer
2. He is still there mentally (unlike Biden, who needs to use a teleprompter at almost all times to sound coherent)
3. He hadn’t had any injury that would inhibit him from getting things done

 

[Atomic Wangler]

The same people who said "Trump doesn't have COVID, well yes he has it but he's asymptomatic, well ok he has symptoms but they don't require a hospital," are now in this very thread saying that his imminent surprise recovery will shock everyone and win him the election. Is this Trump derangement syndrome??

The only people I saw claiming Trump didn't have corona virus were people like Michael Moore, so unless he is suddenly pro-Trump, I think the only TDS you're seeing is in the mirror.

 

[Leibowitz]

It's great he did that peace deal, but that doesn't mean "peace in the middle east" now exists

I agree, declaring "peace in the middle east" is an exaggeration, and I find it a little grating. On the positive side, the Trump admin has significantly advanced the cause of peace in the ME, brought a fair number of our troops home, and reduced tensions between the Arabs, the Israelis, and us. A major accomplishment and a 180° turn from both Bush and Obama.

That said, Iran is still effectively a rogue state, and they have tentacles spread throughout a number of nearby nations. Hopefully bringing the Arabs closer into alignment with us and Israel reduces the chances of Iran launching any open wars or further destabilizing the region through their proxy conflicts.

I agree that he helped advance the cause of peace in the ME (and should be applauded for it), but yeah, to say he created "peace in the middle east" implies that there is no war in the middle east, which is definitely not the case (unfortunately)

lol I'd dropkick that little shit so hard he'd get launched out the window in Trump Tower.

Cain "is still in the hospital being treated with oxygen for his lungs..

That seems to be the tell with this thing, if it's able to do a number on your lungs to the point that you need prolonged use of an oxygen mask (or worse, a ventilator), you're in serious trouble.

Boris Johnson said he needed "lots" of oxygen in hospital a few months ago, and he still looks pretty haggard.

Trump apparently needed oxygen at some point too, but looked pretty healthy for a sick man in his brief Twitter videos for what that's worth.

Here's a fun article from The Guardian back in April full of at Orange Man for trying to help Boris out by offering some of the medicine the President is now taking:

Donald Trump's drugs 'to help Boris Johnson' not tested against coronavirus

Some of the drugs only available on named patient basis or not properly tested yet

www.theguardian.com

None of the treatments the four US “genius” drug companies that Donald Trump claims could help Boris Johnson recover from Covid-19 are clinically tested for coronavirus or available on the market, it has emerged.

Downing Street has indicated it does not wish to take up Trump’s offer of experimental drugs.

Nonetheless, one of the companies, Gilead, which made the drug Remdesivir that was used in trials for Ebola treatment, confirmed that the president had spoken to its chief executive. But it said its therapeutic drug had not yet been clinically tested, a process that was under way.

They probably should've listened to Trump.

This whole week has been a chaotic disaster for Trump and his cronies. There's reports that senior staff members are finding out what happening via MSM. The entire administration is running around with its head cut off.
Johnathon Swan of Axios, probably the most reputable WH journalists, has denied putting up stories because multiple sources contradict each other.
