I think he is more scared than arrogant. His short video clip before going to the hospital was kind of pathetic.

it's a peanut or banana bag hooked up to the G-tube in his stomach while he's on life support.

That's what I'm hoping for. I wish the worst possible outcomes for him, his family, and every other science denier at the superspreader events.

and threaten that every doctor will lose their jobs if something happens to him. You know, the usually rich entitled a--hole act. Throwing major tantrum if things worsen, of course, until he is too weak to do anything.

he might be a somewhat rational patient. He's desperate to get through this to "prove" it's no big deal, so he might go along with the program. Just a guess, though.

People tend to forget that so much of what he does is an act. In the face of real fear, he might be a completely different person.

As for humbling, I doubt it. I'm not sure his ego would allow that to happen, fear or no.

medicine. But I think he will still be the bully that he is. He will threaten the doctor to cure him at all cost.

As long as he's capable of it he'll be complaining and yelling and convinced that he knows more than all of the doctors and nurses.

For Trump is incapable of any feeling for others. I do not think he is being a willing patient.

Which is why most people will not believe any report on his health status.

tRump is. Guesses are that he is scared out of his mind. Probably asking for and getting the whole range of treatments, including those reserved for only the sickest patients. Some think he is being extra nice to help insure he gets everything but the kitchen sink to treat him. More likely, if he is not sedated into silence, he is just as ruthless and demanding as ever. Remember, just because he is sick does not mean his Malignant Narcissism goes away. He’ll take that to his grave. One scary illness in his life won’t cure that because he is incapable of gaining insight from this experience.

The real story will come out later when somebody who was “in the room” will tell all. He is getting lots of hands on treatment which means lots of eye witnesses. The leaks will start coming out soon enough. If he is as big an ass as we are accustomed to seeing and hearing, we’ll find out — eventually.

He thinks he knows more than doctors do, though.

I have thought that for a lawyer, he would be the worst kind of client. If he paid, it might be one thing, but it would be likely that he does not, so therefore it is tough to understand why there are lawyers willing to work for him. Maybe because they have a right wing agenda - supposedly he has hired a lot of lawyers to attack the election result.
