I wonder if he's ever touched a laptop keyboard.

Remember the hysteria about McCain?

Signing all those blank papers would make me tired too.

I saw that too. In fact there's a response saying that in all photos, all folders are the same, etc.

I suppose it's better than showing him with an endotracheal tube on a ventilator, though.

Or...he's probably autographing a stack of thank-yous, correspondence, etc., that staff will fill in later.

What I find very interesting is that this is first visual we have of a patient who appears to be well but we are told is very sick.

Others must have cognitive dissonance as well.

Dear slim, I wrote you but you still ain’t calling...

They took a few pics of him, in diff rooms with diff lighting and jacket on/off.

The metadata on the pics showed that the pics were taken within a 10 min period though.

And if the actual papers were there it would be called a breach of classified info. How hard is it to know that?

Do you really think it makes sense for him to be signing classified papers in formal dress instead of resting?

1000%. I don’t even understand why it is a question of him working if he can and also showing the world in formal clothes what is going on. Of course CNN would prefer a photo op of him on a vent but it’s a weird USA we live in.

"Discharge tomorrow?"

Tomorrow? TOMORROW? LOL.

Tomorrow? TOMORROW? LOL.

Trump did a standing vigorous video followed up by a motorcade drive by for his supporters. Must be disorienting to all those people who were receiving curated news feeds all day about how sick he was or glued to the same narrative on CNN and MSNBC. There is a fight for which reality is the real one. One side has a contender in the ring and the other is waiting for him to fall.

What strikes me as dissonant is the image they’re trying to project and the fact that he’s still in the hospital at all.

It’s not like he can’t have any required monitoring at the White House.

[Horace]

I think an abundance of caution is wise. Hospitals have a lot of medical things which can be used to help people with medical problems. When it comes to COVID, it's literally not possible to be too careful and I think he should stay at the hospital until he tests negative for the virus.

Why is that for you? The most powerful man running the most powerful nation getting the best treatment to protect the nation? If he still in the hospital late next week you know something is up.

[jon-nyc]

Like I said, if he’s doing as well as they’re trying to project why be in the hospital at all. It’s not simply, as you imply, “do it because it’s available to you”. Surely it’s available to Melania, she’s not in the hospital.

My take is the pulse of drop below 95 and his age and co morbid conditions was enough of a scare that they went straight to the highest level protection for our commander in chief. I honestly don’t understand why that’s a question for you.

[jon-nyc]

I’m not questioning the locale. It’s the dissonance between the messaging and the locale.

[Jolly]

At his age, with his comorbidities, he could get real bad, real fast.

With FLOTUS, not so much.

[jon-nyc]

I just learned his doctors came clean about the oxygen usage. Both Friday and Saturday.

He’s like some alternative-world Midas. Everything he touches turns to lie.

Not disputing what you say. What did the docs say?

In this case I would say what we Telegraph to the world is a fuckload more important than CNN. So no I don’t accept that.
