President Trump tests positive for COVID

So it finally happened. Despite being a German folk, President Trump has tested positive for COVID. I really don't know what to say and I don't know what to expect going ahead, what the next few days are going to be. Wow. 2020 is quite the year anyways. I'm really interested in seeing what everyone has to say about it

The next few days ought to be very interesting..

So now being that he's positive, my guess is that they caught it early and they can start whatever treatment, whatever else, sooner than later. At least that's what. Well, when Brad said that they caught it soon, though, he's the President, he would have access to immediate medicines and things like that. And I'm like, okay, that is true. So he has a better shot at recovery. However, his age does put him in a high risk bracket

So I have been on Twitter since the news broke out, and it is really fascinating to see all the chatter and how things are playing out over there. So two interesting offshoots from of Twitter that I picked up one is that, oh, this is hoax. He's just trying a different strategy now that he did so poorly in the debate and he does not want to debate Biden anymore. And this is one way for him to come out of it. I don't buy that anyways

Alright I really need to get off Twitter if I need to get any more work done here. The Memes are completely out of control and it has been so entertaining anyways I came across this interesting tweet that I thought I I would share. Look at the description

Look, Trump is gonna flip this. Watch what I tell you. He's going to flip it and use it as part of his campaign. He's gonna say, yeah, I had it. Told you guys, it wasn't nothing. Look at me. I'm still healthy as a horse. And I'm in the highest age bracket. The high risk age bracket. He's going to flip this s***. But it is funny. Not funny. Funny

Damn... 😆🤦🏾‍♂️.

Yeah, I've seen social media has already ran to it with the Memes. It's very interesting, though, from like a strategic standpoint. How national now he doesn't have to do debates. Maybe there's a clause in there where he can extend his presidency. Probably not, but yes, the Internet is going wild with this. As you said, 2020. I mean, good God, I think average Joe just made a post yesterday about if he was to get assassinated

Yeah. There's a lot of chatter going around that he's potentially doing this to get out of a debate. And I think that that is an incredibly silly conspiracy theory. This is a man who loves himself so so much, he loves himself more than every single person he's been in the room with this week. The week before, all of these people have been exposed to coronavirus, and he's kind of proving that they're all expendable and he doesn't care

I spoke to my wife and she said that they usually quarantine people for up to a week and then do the tests when people come from outside. The reason is they could be carrying and still test negative. And it doesn't take until a week before the tests turn positive. If that was the case, then that does put Biden somewhat at a slight risk

And so she is now getting absolutely torn apart for expressing that pretty basic human an emotion of I don't want anybody to get hurt, but because of who the person in this particular case is, so many people are kind of willing to look past that. And I think that is just fascinating

Well, I'm gonna be honest as I was in my own swell, I don't have any compassion for him, and I don't care what happens to him. I think he's a terrible, evil, vile infection on our society and our culture in the world would be better without it. All of that said, I think it's ridiculous to attack anybody who doesn't think the way I do, who aspires to be better than me in their thoughts about his situation

Yes, average Joe yesterday was quite the whirlwind of political content. Kimberly Gulfoyle turns out to be a sexual predator. Melania turns out to be even more awful than everybody already knew she was is, I mean, saying, who cares about kids in cages? And then who cares about Christmas? Well, the people that care about Christmas tend to be like, pretty much every single person that voted for your husband

I mean, he never did that, right? I mean, it's not cause for any kind of hate. And at least it's kind of like, I'm glad that the caption was CNN hates Trump rather than fake news. And I don't know, it's just sitting back and getting some popcorn and we'll see how the show goes. But yeah, Joe, Karma poetic justice. You're right

But then again, have you ever had this weird intuition that always speaks against all logic and everything? It's like, no, this might be one of those. I'm starting to get that slowly. I know Chrome has been really trying to put that appointment with Karma off, but I guess eventually Karma did find a way through Howie Hicks and get that appointment is to be seen. If Karma really is what she is projected to be

Proud boys stuff Taylor was talking about there, but we're going back to Joe's fantasy world. It's filled with fluffy cotton candy clouds and Donald Trump dying of COFA at 19. Right. Let's remember, Herman Cain was a very wealthy man, and he probably also was treated to the finest medical care

@CaliGooner Melania leaked audio, my interpretation

She wanted to run a story about the kids in the detention centers, so I don't know, maybe I'm misinterpreting it because again, her language isn't very clear, but what people are getting from it, I think, is like, obviously. Besides the point anyway, what do you guys think about the leaked audio? And can you also go back and relisten to that audio without thinking about all the fluff in the audio?
@Hedy_Lamarr

@Hedy_Lamarr · 2:45

Multiple timelines, which is the craziest we could get? Who knows...lol

And then we get the vice President of Biden, which I guess would become La Harris as President. So there's like, one of the crazier scenarios for the political scene that could potentially happen anyway, all in 2020 and into next year, 2021 anyway, just never say never. It's my whole point there. But I do think it is very much or it would be very much poetic justice if Trump did
@Taylor

@Taylor · 1:53

@Hedy_Lamarr

And then she goes as far as to say that the parents tell their children, if we stay here, we're going to be killed by gang members. And there's a lot of dog whistling happening. And yeah, you do make the point. I think there's some degree of Stockholm syndrome involved here, and I don't want to project too much because I'm not a licensed psychiatrist or a psychologist or an MD of any kind. But she certainly was not expecting this when she married him

Okay. Or of course, an even worse scenario is that Trump survives it. Biden catches it from Trump. Biden dies from it. And we get Trump another four years because there's no other options. Bye

You can tell, like, okay, well, maybe they cut the first or last half or I heard another audio clip where they cut apart out, and this one has it in there. So obviously the extended version of this audio is the real version. So one thing I suggest to people when they are trying to seek truth and information online, especially when it comes to political things, is to always, always first of all, if you can watch things live and in full

So I think at this point they've only released that one clip of the audio so far, but pretty much every single other source is reporting the exact same quotes from the rest of the interview that she had. And obviously obviously take that what you will

Reaction to full audio of Melania & my background as a dual citizen.

My dad is a doctor, and my parents married, and everything they did was legal. They legally got married. They were married for 14 years for very long time. So everything they did was perfectly legal. However, I would say that knowing Mexico so well, I go there twice a year, every year, just about and sometimes for all summer since I was a kid. And I would say that there is truth to some of the economic disparity that people experience

So we have interesting turnoff events. First I heard that Donald Trump was going through mild symptoms. And then later I read that instead of Donald Trump showing up to a call that he was supposed to show up on, Vice President Mike Pence showed up to the call. And then the next thing I read is that Trump was flown to Walter Reed Hospital just as a precautionary measure. Precautionary measure? I guess so this is getting interesting

@AverageJoe, @shammi

Joe. Joe, Joe, happy unicorn to you. Well, because I just read a CNN article that not only has Trump been taken to the medical center, that but really, the White House has a lot of medical facilities. So why is he taken there? Now, here's the kicker. Here's your real unicorn with a sparkling Horn. It says that he got monoclonal antibodies, which is an experimental drug. An experimental, not drug

And around day nine, we started noticing that her oxygen levels were falling around 92 ish. And on day ten it fell. The hypoxia hit for her and she quickly rapidly descended all the way to 85. And my brother was able to get her into the hospital and they were able to stabilize her because she was still holding oxygen. They were able to give her severe and treatment for pneumonia, which had set in and she was out of the hospital four days later

@sudha · 1:26
So it is likely if this experimental medicine works, then he'll be out of this within four to five days. And the reason he's being hospitalized is to ensure that he gets the necessary oxygen support that he may need should his levels be below 95

And so all the stuff that the media says and all the stuff that they say we need to take with a grain of salt and use our intuition and our logical thinking and say, wow, does that really make sense, or doesn't this seem like a coincidence? There is no such thing as coincidences. This is all very well planned. So like you said at the beginning, this should be interesting

So the latest is Chris Christie is now sick, and with his obesity, it's going to be a tough battle for him, I think. And it appears that Trump's symptoms are mimicking my mom's. So I thought I'll add a little more color in case it just follows the same trajectory. The way it was for my mom is she would be very fatigued the first few days. Then she showed signs of recovery around days five and six

Rumor has it that Ruth Bader Ginsburg has used her influence with the powers to be in her new home to teach Donald Trump a lesson about the importance of social distancing and wearing a mask. The Vegas bookies, on the other hand, are giving 100 to one odds that he will not have learned that lesson
