Trump to quarantine awaiting Covid test

On Saturday, two sources said Trump was feeling better. But it is difficult to assess the information given the White House's history of lying. According to a source, Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has told Republicans that the next few days will be critical to determine the virus’s outcome. “Meadows has said if Trump can get out of the hospital by Tuesday, then he’s gone through the worst of it. But if he’s still there after Tuesday, the worst is yet to come,” the source told me.

Inside Trumpworld, the shock of Trump’s hospitalization is giving way to despair about his prospects in the upcoming election. “They all know it’s over,” a Republican close to the campaign said. “This is spiraling out of control,” a former West Wing official said. Some Trump allies are entertaining conspiracy theories that the White House outbreak was caused by someone with political motives. “It’s weird that all these Republicans are getting it,” a prominent Republican told me. “I don’t know what the fuck is going on. But one thing I’ve learned is: when something major happens thirty days before an election, it usually has to do with the election.” (There is no evidence for this wild claim).

Meanwhile, America’s closest allies are entertaining wild scenarios as well. An outside White House adviser told me that a high-level government official from a G-7 country asked him if Trump would try to appoint Ivanka president instead of Mike Pence. “He’s broken every norm so far, so they think anything is possible,” the source said.

The White House declined a request for comment.

I'd love to see who this "source" is.

Is it NS?

(remember, current thinking is that masks don't prevent you from getting COVID-19, but prevent you from spreading it)

This didn't age well, did it?

That's pretty much exactly what I was talking about yesterday. Wearing a mask is a sign of weakness? Seriously?

Being a fucking imbecile is no excuse for this kind of thing.

There can be no question that if he had worn a mask he would not be ill.

"The Science" tells us that wearing a mask doesn't prevent you from getting infected. It tells us that wearing a mask prevent you from infecting others.

So, which "fucking imbecile" gave it to Trump?

Trump looked good on his broadcast tonight. Like nothing was wrong. I think the risk is that he could turn for the worse quickly, but I think that risk as a duration that would typically last 48 hours.

Which “fucking I’m imbecile” set the example of and spread the rhetorics for not wearing masks in the administration?

Obviously his advisers decided that he could not win without being the president who personally conquered the virus

So he will now conquer the virus

And prove all those wrong who said he needed a mask in order to continue his healthy lifestyle

At which point all those people, including ax, will apologize and remove their masks

I dunno, Nancy Pelosi at the hair salon?

The politician who said masks were all political theater?

If you're going cast blame, at least cast it fair and balanced?

Edit to add: At least the two asshats I said had the political savvy to separate their true feelings from what the science said they should show.

You honestly aren't capable of thinking on your own. You're a walking poster child for leftwing propaganda.

Jesus.

Still goofy to me that he would misspell the company name. If you are going to send out anything professional, it should be double and triple checked.

We always have to do that.

I’ve got $100 for the first nurse at Walter Reed that dresses up like Herman Cain and tells Trump he will be visited by three ghosts tonight.

Trump went live on Twitter last night, and he looked not too bad, actually. A little wan, but not bad.

Bill Jacobson comments: "Trump is the master of the reality show, and now he is the complete center of attention with the whole world watching. Trump meets Survivor.

You will watch. You can’t not watch."

And yet, here you are.

Funny, but TDS is not about policy. Pence is not as icky as Trump and you won't find the revulsion in the hearts of the left. For Pence you'd get more standard tribal shunning but not the visceral hate.

Today we talk about the superspreader event at the White House. That always leads to the IFR discussion. It’s inevitable and how it turns out will be impactful.

[Horace]

more like great spreader.
