Trump and Melania test positive for COVID-19

[eddiew37]

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?

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's no mystery you'll be celebrating Trump has China virus all day, every day now.

Obviously this won't change conservatives' wrongheaded perception of the pandemic.

Why are you not talking about what might happen if he dies?

CELEBRATION ? World wide

So, you planning on it? YOu stocking up on champagne and streamers?

No ,nothing quite that elaborate But like that old country song said ,Thank God and Greyhound he's gone

 

[G.T.]

He's on video calling it the new dem hoax, right at the beginning. Check YouTube, then issue your retraction.

No need for a retraction.

What he meant by the 'New Dem Hoax' is Dems like those in NY and CA OVERPLAYED their hand and freaked out! Blamed Trump because their states didn't have enough equipment to get through Corona.
In reality, the Dem states didn't spend their Fed Emergency monies appropriately after the last health crisis (during Obama years) and didn't restock their inventory.

They overplayed their hand and freaked out? They were the first hit because they're the most population dense, and being the first hit the treatments were unknown and had not come along and it was an absolute shit-show. Trump used his platform to make it about them being Blue States, which is disgusting all by itself...but even more disgusting is that instead of using them as a learning example and seeing how they did eventually come out of it, his duplicitous ass was downplaying it and his sycophants followed and then had the summer outbreaks as a result.

Amazingly ignorant of the actual facts and the COVID statistics. Step away from CNN and do some research.

Whats super weird is that I didn't list a statistic - Cultist

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the coronavirus, he announced on Twitter early Friday.

"Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!" he tweeted.

Trump, first lady Melania Trump test positive for Covid-19

I wonder how many others are also infected? MSNBC listed 20 people earlier who had been in close proximity to Hope Hicks. Trump and Melania are among the lucky ones who actually have a full-time doctor and state-of-the-art medical facilities in the White House - plus Walter Reed Army Medical Center if needed.

Biden needed an excuse not to have to debate him again.
We knew that either Biden would test positive or something else would be dreamed up.
Great timing.
If Trump has it, he was poisoned by somebody from the Biden Campaign. It's exactly what Putin would do.

They're asymptomatic.

I like how you say "unfortunately" then way hype what Trump said beyond all reality showing you're another total lying partisan leftist scuzz ball who wants Trump to die

 

[Carl in Michigan]

So how about get rid of the TDS crap

Would be nice if you did

 

[DBA]

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.

In his own words he downplayed it. And in your words he didn't downplay anything. Imagine fan-crushing someone that deeply? Are you in your teens? Trump posters on the walls, like Ricky?

I'm sure he did downplay it but he didn't call it a hoax. All Governments do the same when facing something like a pandemic.

Teens?? LMAO Hel no. I'm an old lady and I do support Trump.

Before this Covid mess the country was in great shape. UE the lowest its been in 50 years and jobs all across this country. We had a great economy and all that with Trump at the helm. We will have that back but not if Biden get elected.

Hell he already said he will raise taxes on some and lift CG from 21 percent to 28%. The more money a company has the more they can expand and hire. Great for the economy 28% CG won't help with that.

Then he explained his green shit. Hell if that's implemented it will bankrupt the country. No Biden isn't anyone I'll be voting for especially since he wore a wire at the debate. Nope.

I responded to a post where you said he didnt downplay anything.

Now I'm responding to a post where you said you're sure he did downplay it.

Any idea how that culty-think works, please? because it seems like a helluva drug.

I'm sure he did try to downplay it to some extent but he never called it a hoax which is what many on the left keep saying.

All Governments downplay something like a pandemic so as not to cause panic. I think that's a mistake because the more info you have the better you can react.

Don't get me wrong though. Most Americans were watching the news and many could see the writing on the wall. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing before the CDC passed those instructions and I'd bet millions of other American did the same.

Never heard of culty-think.

He's on video calling it the new dem hoax, right at the beginning. Check YouTube, then issue your retraction.

Oh so he called it a hoax and it made it to the US anyway??

I don't call that a big deal at all. Its what he did that I like. He had masks, ventilators and anything else they needed ready and made sure it got out to where it was needed. So if you want a retraction then I retract my statement.

Get real. It makes no difference what anyone says or does. If a pandemic gets into your country it kills. Calling a hoax but doing what needs to be done to combat the virus works for me.

I am the one that needs to get real?

You said he didnt downplay it, then said youre sure he downplayed it.
You said he didnt call it a hoax, then said it makes no difference he called it a hoax.

I think you're probably a nice person, so hopefully you can understand how the lack of reasoning within the Trump cult has people a little worried...the level or worship is a bit scary, to say the least.

Do you know what he did that was wrong, leadership-wise?

He promoted an unproven drug that one of his own companies has a vested interest in. So it was clear why he was doing it, and then later did it more when the clinical trials proved that the 'good results' cases were anecdotal, i.e. placebo.

The drug, after our own military's clinical trial, was shown to be more harmful than good, overall, in spite of the anecdotal positivity.

What he did was wrong. Say it aloud, and feel better.


He also cast doubt on wearing masks...he mocked folks for wearing them...caught a backlash, then called them patriotic, while still mocking people that wear them. That's called being duplicitous, and it caused many of his worshippers to begin an 'anti mask' movement, which is/was irresponsible.

What he did was wrong, say it aloud.


He also had a Press Conference in which HIS task force...HIS task force was recommending the two-week lockdowns and social distancing etc etc.

The SAME DAY, on Twitter, was saying "Free (insert state here>!" - - - because (obviously) lockdowns were bad for his economy, thus his reelection prospects ~ but again, duplicitous. Two different messages from the same Trump camp. Lockdowns are good (task force), lockdowns are bad (Trump), but look at how good my task force is!

Trump is the reason that half the Country gave zero fucks about the virus...it came right from him - - -and as a result, we had the red-state surge in the virus over the summer and that caused much more death.

What he did was wrong.

Seems to me the Dems gave zero fucks about the virus. They called Trump a racist when he wanted to stop flight into the country. Pelousy also told everyone not to worry. The virus was nothing and they should all come out with her and enjoy the Chinese new year.

Oh and you seem to think Americans are stupid?? They were watching the same thing Trump and his administration were watching on TV. Hell I went out and bought a mask and practices social distancing long before the CDC passed those instructions along and so did millions of other Americans.

Oh and I watched Snopes and from what I read Trump was referring to the Dem's hoax of an impeachment. Not the virus. That was on Snopes not a right wing rag.

Trump did nothing wrong. In fact he did a lot right from the masks, to the ventilators and everything else.

Get real.

See, this is the deep mind-fuckery Trump has over his cult. Holy fuggin banana!

The only cult is you left wing lunatics who continue to promote this ridiculous narrative of COVID being a death sentence. Statistically you have about the same chance of dying in a car crash than dying from COVID. Maybe we should all stop driving cars.

 

[WTF19]

Convenient timing after that side show they called a debate the other night. Guess they really really really didn't want to debate again. Ha. I'm sure Biden is just as pleased.

this way, BEIJING XIDEN can try and get its head out of its ass . after tanking the other night

/—-/ Post a link where Trump claims COVID is a hoax. You won’t because you can’t.

 

[kaz]

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

How Democrats treated covid has been a hoax.

And you're lying. Trump did not call the "virus" a hoax. This is as I keep pointing out. Most of Trump's so called lies are actually you lying about what Trump said.

This is the moronic black and white thinking that is all Democrats are capable of

Since he never called it a hoax, that kind of makes you look like an idiot.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — President Donald Trump accused Democrats of “politicizing” the deadly coronavirus during a campaign rally here on Friday, claiming that the outbreak is “their new hoax” as he continued to downplay the risk in the U.S.

Trump calls coronavirus Democrats' 'new hoax'

Now you can explain what he meant by that. By doing that you aren't really making him look any better because that's what has to be done over and over with Trump.

He talks like a 12 year old. Name calling, incomplete sentences. Things that then have to be explained what he actually meant. Well now he can call in sick and lay in bed all day and watch cartoons.

Well if you go on Snopes and read it what he was referring to was the hoax of an impeachment the Dem were holding. Not the virus.

The numbers are overwhemingly on his side. My guess he will be eating cheeseburgers and tweeting during his quarantine. That is what some other world leaders were doing when they tested positive, sans Boris Johnson who did spend 3 days in the ICU.

Sometimes a near death experience can make an asshole a better person. Maybe that what it will take for Trump.

You need a near death experience

This is a potentially fatal disease for a man his age. He needs to take care of himself

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

The British PM was saying about the same things Rump was saying. But after he got Covid and almost died, he certainly changed his tune dramatically and changed the direction of the British Government concerning Covid.

7 world leaders have contracted the disease. Johnson was the only one who had any significant issues and he obviously lived. The hysteria is unfounded.
