Trump and Melania test positive for COVID-19

[Turtlesoup]

Unfortunately, the President of the United States and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19.

President Trump, first lady test positive for coronavirus, set to quarantine at White House

Given the cavalier manner in which the present Administration and its leadership has perceived and articulated this godawful pandemic over most of the past year...

Does this development have any serious chance of altering the depth and substance of the Federal response and the Federal handling of this national emergency?

You should be more worried about the virus doing very little to either of them----------

 

[petro]

Just reported on MSNBC. No link yet.

Are they celebrating at MSNBC?

The staff at MSNBC I am sure are concerned with the President's well being...

 

[IM2]

I don't have any sympathy for him. He got what he wanted. It's too bad that he has the best medical care in the world rather than what everyone else gets. If he gets sick, let him go over to GW Hospital and sit in the ER waiting room.

Well...If Democrats didn’t use the medical treatment as a political tool there wouldn’t be an issue.

No. trump failed to do his job.

 

[JLW]

Trump will be just fine. He may be obese and have an assortment of personality and mental issues, but he has the physical constitution of a Mack track.

 

[Daryl Hunt]

He admitted to downplaying it and said it was his intent, are you saying not to believe his own words?

Remember the toilet paper and disinfectant shortages the day after covid was announced?

There's a reason the government doesn't want it's people to panic.

Understand now?

That shortage didn't happen the day after Covid was announce. It happened well after it was announced. The Shortage was from people hording plus the manufacturing people being sent home at the same time and they could not react quick enough to it by the giant companies that had the markets locked up. But there were other companies that existed that could have reacted quick enough but due to Monopolistic Agreements, they were never allowed to.

 

[Claudette]

Maybe you should address that to the Dems. They are the ones who called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flights into the US to stop the spread of the virus.

Oh and lets not forget Pelousy telling everyone the virus was nothing and to not worry about it. She also wanted them to come out with her to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Trump took it quite seriously and he never called it a hoax. His administration got the ventilators, masks and everything else that was needed out there. Its a pandemic shit for brains. Pandemics kill once they get into a country and nothing anyone could do would have stopped that virus from getting into the US. Hell the Spanish flue killed 20 million and the bubonic plague damned near wiped out the human race.

No one could have done any better than Trump did.

Oh and you must think Americans are stupid. I, along with millions of others, saw the writing on the wall. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing long before the CDC came up with those instructions and so did millions of other.

A pandemic doesn't care who's in charge and it also doesn't care what you can do to stop it. Pandemics kill and that all a pandemic does.

Trump has downplayed this thing from the beginning and has never really acted as if the deaths are anything other than something that might make himself look bad. His karmic debt is enormous. He had this coming and I hope he is scared shitless.

He didn't down play anything. I'd say you Dems downplayed it.

They predicted. 3.2 million deaths for the US. 200,000 is a long way from that thank God.

Nothing scares Trump. He and the FL will make out just fine even though YOU hope they don't.

He admitted to downplaying it and said it was his intent, are you saying not to believe his own words?

All Governments downplay things like a pandemic. That's what Government does.

But Trump had the masks, ventilators and anything else that would be needed ready to go and he sure didn't call it a hoax. He listened to Fauci and the CDC and took it all quite seriously.

He was a racist. He didn't stop flights. He stopped Chinese nationals from entering the country. What he should have done was tell everyone in China, American and Chinese alike, to shelter in place.

The ironic thing is the rest of the world has America on Travel Bans because we've failed so badly at controlling this.

Seems fine like most., he’s a strong man. Get better soon patriot

We're all praying Red........Can you say President Pelosi?

Just imagine when Trump beats this in 10 days and he emerges for the debate! WOW the chills I have .. so heroic

HUGE sale on Melania's " I really don't care" jacket

In all seriousness, I'm sitting here having trouble formulating something to say.

There are so many possible comments floating around that they appear to have formed a traffic jam in my mind.

Maybe after a little more coffee.

It really isn't a big deal. The media of course wants you to believe it is, but it isn't.
I would venture a guess that the majority of us have had or have the virus already.

Understand now?

I was in the military and I say his leadership was poor in his reaction and not I think its funny that he has it, I'm just waiting for him to blame someone other than himself for his predicament so I can laugh harder.

 

[JoeB131]

Then maybe we should spread COVID to all the MSM media and the Democrats in Congress, particular Pelosi and Schiff.

The problem is, COVID wouldn’t be thing to spread if you really wanted near death results because the overwhelming majority would not be affected to this extent.

My guess is that Trump and Melanie with both do fine. The only big concern I have is the effect on the campaign due to a quarantine.

Well, it does get him out of the next debate.

That is if he isn't making this up to get sympathy at this point.

 

[NightFox]

Given Donny's track record relative to playing fast & loose with the truth...

I suspect this whole "Me and Melania have tested positive" line is just another one of his made up bullshit stories, he's probably just fishing for sympathy, either that or he's trying to come up with an excuse for skipping the next "debate" against Uncle Joe.

The shortages happened pretty quickly. That was panic. Denying what we all saw, is not the way to win a debate.

 

[Daryl Hunt]

Sigh.


What's False
Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax.

Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a 'Hoax'?

Trump's commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.

www.snopes.com

Well y'all surely took Trump' s hoax statements and took it to the extreme then....

Search results for query: Covid hoax

They know what they did, they know what they enabled.

You know what they say about karma.

They did what they could. You have been completely duped. I guess we could have locked everything down in Feb, much to the Democrats dismay and ruined our economy prior to knowing what was going on with COVID. Maybe we could lock it all again now to really get us into a depression If the Democrats brainiacs would have been in charge, not only would the spread have been worse because they wouldn’t have locked anything down and we would have more illegals crossing the border, but once it got bad, they would still have the country locked down.

You should be thanking Trump for his response. Democrats running this show would have put your career in jeopardy as many would have been pulling their money out of the markets. Who needs a CFP when there aren’t really any safe investment vehicles(nor capital)for the average investor.

If it had been handled like the H1N1 it would have been contained in isolation with contract tracing. In Jan, there were only 15 cases (If you believe Rumps numbers). That was the time to isolate it. What's funny, Pence knew how to do that since he did that when he was Governor. But VPs don't make policy and don't contradict Presidents. And I don't think Pence has the balls to do that anyway no matter how serious things could get in any wildest imagination. I had high hopes when Rump said he was turning it over to Pence. But then he undermined Pence every step of the way. So am I thankful for Rump? No. Do I wish him dead, No. Do I wish him voted out of office, that's a big yes.

DARYL you are a better man than I

I am an American Airman and always will be.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

Gotta shake my head at the true believers. His downplaying the virus is right there on Woodward's tapes. I mean, it's on record. But I didn't need to hear that from Woodward.
He did call the virus the Democrat's latest hoax. And then proceeded to do next to nothing to combat the spread of the virus in the first two months...save for golfing, tweeting, and holding his pep rallies.
