The Trump Health Hoax

[SectionC3]

Seems like the President is struggling with COVID-19.  Let’s review the salient information:

 

1.  Friday sees him sent to Walter Reed as a “precautionary measure.”  BS.  He has outstanding medical care available to him at his residence.  There’s no need to go to a hospital “on spec” unless the situation is more dangerous than the public has been told. 

 

2.  On Friday, a President obsessively concerned with image and television ratings shoots a hamfisted video saying he “thinks” things will turn out well.  Bad lighting, no mic, odd setting (probably the WH residence; not the Oval Office).  Apparently he does not have the time or strength to do such a thing as put on a “lav” mic or take a better shot. 

 

3.  He is taken to Walter Reed by helicopter.  Seems strange, given that it’s a short ride and he took the car for his prior WH health event.  

 

4.  Then the helicopter sits there for about half an hour before Trump can take the short walk to get in.  Obviously this is a dog and pony show; he wants to convey strength by walking to the chopper.  But doesn’t interact with the media on the way out (uncharacteristic for him, to be sure).  Strange. 

 

5.  Strangely silent on Twitter and Fox & Friends that day.  Would be easy for him to call his pals at Fox and explain that he’s doing fine, has a mild case, the virus is a hoax, he gnawed on hyroxycholorquine and is feeling better, etc.  But doesn’t do it. 

 

6.  Then it turns out that he actually received supplemental oxygen on Friday as well as a “compassionate use” treatment.  Odd that POTUS receives an unproven treatment that theoretically could do more harm than good.  Does not sound like a mild case of COVID. 

 

7.  Goes to Walter Reed, then stays basically silent on Saturday, save for a couple of “dog and pony” images that the Internet quickly recognizes as staged (signing a blank piece of paper - a metaphor for his presidency, if ever there was one; metadata shows images taken about 10 minutes apart in time in different rooms).  

 

8.  But here’s the big tell.  The video from Saturday was about 10 seconds long, and it had to be edited (likely to eliminate a cough).  How hard is it to reshoot a 10-second video?  Not hard at all.  The simple solution if the subject coughs during the take is to re-shoot.  But they didn’t re-shoot.  Was it because they couldn’t?  Speculation, but with an image-conscious president it seems likely that they would have done another take to get it “right” if he was capable of getting through 10 seconds without coughing. 

 

9.  Saturday tells us that POTUS also gets dexamethasone.  Skips right past the hydroxychloroquine and Lysol and brings in the big guns reserved for moderate to severe cases of COVID.  Not good.  Fits with the bad blood oxygen information and news that he was on supplemental oxygen.  

 

10.  Feeling better this morning.  Tweet storm.  Usual nonsense.  But this is after stupid parade on Sunday (another dog and pony show) that needlessly put Secret Service at risk so he could convey an image of health.  Why not call Fox & Friends?  Is it because he can’t do it without hacking up a lung?  That’s the speculation here. 

 

Something definitely is up with this guy.  He may well go back to the WH today or tomorrow.  But that doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods.  And it doesn’t mean that he hasn’t had serious COVID complications that he has concealed both from the public and those with the power to catalyze use of the 25th amendment.  How a guy on dexamethasone and struggling with COVID can keep the nuke codes is beyond me.  But these are the times in which we live.

Too much derp.

Fake news.  Too much truth for you.  He’s lying to the public about the nature of his condition.  The evidence is circumstantial, but it’s there and it is stark.

You PPPers and your deep state conspiracies crack me up. He’s sick. He’s not sick. He’s hacking up a lung. Nuke codes.

What’s conspiratorial about good?  He couldn’t get a clean take in a 10-second shoot.  Something is very wrong with him.

Quote

 

The assertion by President Trump’s doctors that he could be discharged from the hospital as early as Monday astonished outside infectious-disease experts, who said he remains in a dangerous period of vulnerability when some covid-19 patients decline precipitously and require urgent intervention.

 

During a midday briefing Sunday on the president’s medical condition and treatment, White House physician Sean Conley and his team twice referred to planning to release Trump as early as the next day “if he continues to look and feel as well as he does today.”

The talk of the president’s release from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center came as Conley and two other physicians treating Trump gave an upbeat but incomplete characterization of his condition. Outside doctors said they were mystified by what they said was an inconsistent portrayal of the president’s illness as relatively mild despite the aggressive mix of treatments he is getting.

Be interesting to see if he actually leaves the hospital today

Let me guess, those saying Hillary wasn't fit healthwise to take office were conspiracy nuts though right?

She had corona? 

 

What type of argument is that? You are no Sherlock Anything. He asked questions that were relevant, pertinent and revealing. You question is a silly partisan screech

The entire premise makes a mockery of both the medical profession and social influencer communities. I cut and pasted several video clips trying to find my good side before realizing I had none.

It’s not a it good side.  It’s about the edit.  The audio.  No reason to use a jump cut other than the guy couldn’t get through 10 seconds without coughing.  He is very sick.

WTF are you pulling out of your ass???! Where did I say any of what you just said?

 

Actually, I can unbiasly ask that question unlike some other people... It had nothing to do with Corona and everything to do with a clear neurological condition which was much worse.

 

Literally curious if OP believed Hillary health whistle-blowers were conspiracy nuts or if they had legitimate concerns... Actually I pose the same question to you Tib, or can you not answer me without adhominum attacks?

Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about TDS...

Drama queen. 

 

So Presidents aren't allowed to catch a virus and be slowed down for a few days or a week?  If they cough we should swear in the VP?  He's got a virus, it's being treated, he'll be fine before the end of the week.
