...."Live by Twitter, die by Twitter! Or, at least, have your photographs picked apart on Twitter. As @missdeweys tweet, which pulls an Instagram picture from @palmbeachshowgroup back in October 2015, shows, the woman in the photo appears to be seated at the exact same desk pictured in Trumps tweet. After some extensive Googling, Select All has determined the desk in question is located not in a private Mar-a-Lago suite, but in what appears to be a usually public hallway. (You can also find an image of the hall in the photo gallery on the Mar-a-Lago website here.) To see it for yourself, please take note at about the 2:25 mark of this handy video from HGTV. In case youre not yet convinced, take a closer look at the detailing on the distinctive tile walls behind the desk in both pictures.
Given the Instagram photo was from a public event, it seems highly unlikely this desk is located in the Trumps private residence. But it is possible that Trump closed off this particular hallway over the holidays (and cleared that desk of its computer), so as to give himself a quiet space to work. Trump and his family live in a private, closed-off residence within the main club house, the rest of which is open to members, the New York Post reported in November. Occasionally, Trump will have communal spaces sequestered off for private family events like a movie night, but typically, the president-elect dines and hobnobs right alongside fellow members.
So were not saying that Trump didnt write his speech, in Sharpie, on a legal pad, at this desk, with its magnificent and inspirational eagle statue. Obviously he did; why would the president-elect stage such a photograph? It seems clear the Secret Service cleared out Mar-a-Lago, to give Trump the privacy and quiet he needed, and he chose that particular hallway desk to begin writing his speech. Which is his right, as Mar-a-Lagos owner.
Now, look, far be it from the staff of Select All to judge the president-elects choice of venue. Lord knows we have worked, by choice and by necessity, on some odd and unfortunate surfaces. But well, we are a little bit concerned that the only workspace in the newly dubbed Winter White House is a desk usually reserved for a receptionist and her computer. Surely there is a co-working space in Palm Beach?"

(5,127 posts)Here's what we do know. trump's oxygen level dropped low enough to require oxygen. Probably 91 or lower.
He spiked a fever
He was fatigued
His condition was so concerning he was taken to the hospital and given experimental treatment. Why?
No one knows your course of illness when you get Covid. It truly is a roll of the dice. If all he had was a cough and fatigue why the rush for experimental treatment? What was in his labs, xrays, and other testing that made them want to treat him right away?
Personally I am not buying into the conspiracy theories. To me, there is more to the story but its not an outlandish explanation.
Its either A. As he said on the Woodard tapes. He likes to downplay things - He's downplaying his illness. He doesn't want to cause panic in the markets, or amongst his supporters.
OR B. He had a pre existing condition that would have made him more vulnerable if he waited and got sick so he chose to get the experimental treatment to try to ward off getting sick.
He is so narcissistic, that even being sick to him, he thinks people would see him as being weak so he has to put out propaganda pictures and videos. It all fits. Its why he wanted to hide wounded veterans, think people in the military are suckers are losers. The one good thing trump can do for humanity, when he dies, donate his brain to science. Maybe we can learn how to fix the next trump if we study the brain of this one.

(3 posts)I'm less concerned that the pics are pre-staged/fake and way more concerned if he's actually taking them while actively infected with COVID, maskless with a photographer in the room. Which I think is entirely possible given his power & sociopathy. 50/50 on both scenarios IMO.

(52,332 posts)Ok class! Did everyone get their binder with separators?
And everyone should have one sharpie and some blank paper to practice writing our names!
This is just like how some people work!
Does anyone have a mommy or daddy who works in an office? And maybe signs important papers?
We get to be just like them today!
