I had to take it down to make way for the Bill Clinton painting I picked up cheap from the Jeffrey Epstein liquidation sale.
Yes, I heard Jeff had been liquidated...

@Klaus said in Trump to quarantine awaiting Covid test:
Is this real or some kind of joke?
It's true.
Jolly said he wants two.
(BTW, this is not an official US Gov thing, just some "entrepreneurs".)
Still, for me this is a new maximum of Trump cringe-worthiness. A comparison to the personality cult in, say, North Korea doesn't look completely absurd anymore.

If this interests you, there is also a commemorative coin to commemorate Trump's historic summit meeting with North Korea's leader Mr. Kim Jung Un, available from the same gift shop:

@George-K said in Trump to quarantine awaiting Covid test:
Trump’s physician, Dr. Sean Conley, said in a memo shared by White House officials that the president “as a precautionary measure” has “received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail.”
“He completed the infusion without incident,” Conley wrote.
Regeneron’s experimental drug cocktail has yet to be approved for wider use. Results shared by the pharma giant just this week showed that some non-hospitalized Covid-19 patients who took the two-antibody treatment saw reduced viral levels and improved symptoms.
Regeneron confirmed in a statement to CNBC that it provided the dose to the president in response to a “compassionate use” request from Trump’s doctors. That term refers to a way patients can access experimental drugs outside of clinical trials.
Trump has also been taking zinc, vitamin D, melatonin, a daily aspirin and the histamine-blocker famotidine, Conley said in the memo.
“As of this afternoon the President remains fatigued but in good spirits. He’s being evaluated by a team of experts, and together we’ll be making recommendations to the President and First Lady in regards to next best steps,” the physician said.
Conley’s memo added that first lady Melania Trump, who also tested positive for Covid-19, “remains well with only a mild cough and headache.”

Already, Trump says he will hold in-person campaign rally in Florida this Saturday:
That would be only 10 days from when Trump first tested positive for COVID-19. He seems very determined to spread it around.

So I guess the media reports that he was infected days before and hiding it were false?

Those media reports were based on very specific information passed on by the Walter Reed team.
Well it’s one or the other. He could still be infectious or he could be ready to debate next week. Which is it?
-
Y'all realize some polls said he was down double digits at this point in 2016, too

I’d put better odds on Trump 2024.
I said pre-Covid Trump was setting himself up to lose, with his inability and disinterest in building a loyal cadre around him. It’s always all about him and that went from asset to liability. The economic impact of the shutdown made it all but certain. Sure there was always the possibility that Trump voters couldn’t be counted as they wouldn’t admit it, but I suspect the analysis will show he lost even that bloc with the debate, His Covid and then his behaviors following. A real trifecta.

If he plans to run in 2024, the next four years will be just awful.
