Trump might be in a very bad way... "The President is in the hospital in a touch and go situation."

Fox News about 25 minutes ago.

2 minutes on Fox w/Jesse Waters .... Channel Surfing. (football game to weather channel)

"The President is in the hospital in a touch and go situation." Jesse Waters said this as he was pleading
to the democrats "to be nice to Trump."

there's a miraculous cure a-comin'

(CNN) - President Donald Trump said in a video Saturday evening that he's "starting to feel good." His message, which was posted on Twitter, was just the latest in a string of contradictory and often misleading information about his diagnosis with Covid-19 and his condition since being transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center the day before.

An attempt by Trump's doctor earlier Saturday to reassure the public about his condition only created widespread confusion and concerns about transparency, as a source familiar with the President's health told reporters that the next 48 hours will be critical in determining how he fares.

"The President's vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We are still not on a clear path to a full recovery," the source, whom the New York Times and the Associated Press identified as White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told White House pool reporters after the briefing from his doctors.


Moments earlier on Saturday morning, the President's physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, had offered an upbeat assessment of the President's condition stating that he was feeling well, that he had been "fever-free" for 24 hours and that his symptoms -- which included an "extremely mild cough," nasal congestion and fatigue -- "are resolving and improving." Conley was evasive about when and if Trump had received supplemental oxygen, saying, "He is not on oxygen."

People that suffer from COVID are often stable and not in bad shape then suddenly take a nose-dive. There's a fairly well documented timeline for that to happen.

You can be fine and 12 hours later be intubated. In other words, "he is doing well, but the next 48 hours are critical." Makes perfect sense.

Whether it's accurate as far as the claim goes that he *is* doing well at the time the statement was made is a separate issue.

He has tweeted, said and done extremely vile cruel and out of bounds things about so many people and groups of Americans and embraced fascist dictatorship. I feel nothing for he and his boot lickers. Had he and they made an attempt during his wretched term of office i might have extended him the benefit of a doubt but after 200k+ dead americans from covid that is not in my heart.

Could they have two lies, one for Fox viewers and one for normal media? The Fox lie is that he is doing worse, the lie to us is that he is doing better, in reality no change? I don't know, this has more twists than a Fellini version of Shakespeare.

and they're optimistic about his prognosis?

We're getting 2 completely different stories from Trump's doctors and Mark Meadows/Fox.


Maybe Fox is trying to make Trump sound like he's on his deathbed, so when he recovers, they can claim he's superhuman.

The release of the taxes is going to show massive fraud... he and his family are likely facing jail time.

Maybe there is a dacha waiting for him someplace in Russia?

What a bunch of pusses they all are.

A lot of us full time work, full time caregiving and sometimes life and death illness quite a lot during our lives. Getting badmouthed on the Twitter or the TeeVee is not even on the agenda, let alone even remotely important.
