1. 0 credibility.

[yardwork]

12. That's the problem. We can't believe anything they say.

[hlthe2b]

2. The WH Press should bring in physicians experienced in COVID treatment to question them

or wear an earpiece and sub THEIR questions/comments for their own to Conley.

And the rest of the media should shut up until each prior question is fully answered (or repeat the prior question)

[dem4decades]

3. Let me guess, Trump won't be there because he's doing push ups at the gym.

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. After bench-pressing 400 pounds on his daily workout.

He usually does 500, but the doctors told him to take it easy for a few days. That's why he only ran five miles this morning, instead of his customary ten.

[dem4decades]

26. The Dr is just trying to reflect the upbeat message of the staff and President. And bench pressing

400 pounds is just Trump pressing his 400 pound fat ass off the bench.

[tinrobot]

20. Some say he's relentless.

He's so busy signing blank paper, they can't pull him away to speak.

[Leith]

4. Let's start a betting pool

How many minutes will they be late today? I say 30.

[idziak4ever1234]

8. Yeah, they will have to unhook the oxygen to say that he isn't currently getting any.

[cwydro]

9. Lol, a friend and I were just saying the same.

At least 30, I’m sure you’re right.

[redwitch]

14. It's so obnoxious!

I’m giving them ten minutes and then I am going to buy groceries.

[Leith]

17. Naah... go now

No use waiting around just to hear a bunch of lies. There will be videos on every new site when you get home.

Besides, my usual YouTube channels (PBS, CSPAN, Now This News) don't have their live feeds set up.

[johnp3907]

5. Paging Dr Bagdad Bob.

[Happy Hoosier]

6. The President is Superhuman!!

He lost 30 pounds, runs laps around the hospital, and every man within 30 feet experiences a boost in sperm count.

[Hugin]

7. I'm setting an alarm to catch the retraction at 13:30.

It will be even more tremendouser.

[bdamomma]

10. more propaganda

coming out for his base.

[RKP5637]

11. I really have a hard time believing anything they say. n/t

[blogslut]

15. Here's a Youtube link

[Brother Buzz]

16. Remember, this is only an exhibition, this is not a competition, so please: No wagering.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

18. Does Trump even bark be late to everyone?

What is it with this can't be on time ever bullshit?

[Statistical]

19. Trump had 27 holes in one, did 5,000 pushups and a 4 minute mile.

COVID has miraculously improved his health and increased his lifespan.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. They just said that MFer is on DEXAMETHASONE

He is very sick. VERY sick.

[LisaL]

22. They are also said they could release him tomorrow.

He is just fine.

[Maru Kitteh]

29. Ha. Okay.

They've been dishonest from the start about his need for oxygen.
They were dishonest about his fever.
They refuse to answer questions about his imaging/CXR.
They admitted (let slip) he needed help out of bed.
They won't discuss whether he's in a negative pressure room? How stupid.
They are giving him very potent and even risky medications which indicate a much higher level of concern than today's episode of Dear Leader goes to the Hospital would have us believe.

He ain't fine.

[Politicub]

30. Dr. Gupta just said on CNN that Remdesivir takes a 5-day course of infusions

So it would be nonsensical to realesse him tomorrow.

[KewlKat]

24. Anti-inflammatory helped the lungs...and most likely is giving him some energy

[Greybnk48]

25. Yep, he is Maru Kitteh.

"The RECOVERY trial provides evidence that treatment with dexamethasone at a dose of 6 mg once daily for up to 10 days reduces 28-day mortality in patients with Covid-19 who are receiving respiratory support. We found no benefit (and the possibility of harm) among patients who did not require oxygen."

Edited to add link and name of poster I was responding to.

[mucifer]

28. Interesting Thanks for that!!

[LeftInTX]

27. They gave me a steroid shot when I had bronchitis

My son was getting married and it was a quick fix.

I may have gotten Dexamethasone IV after an allergic reaction to tegretal and also a scorpion sting. It was probably not needed for the scorpion sting, but they gave it anyway.

[duforsure]

23. Trumps got his doctor out trying to promote his latest con on the American people

This will be another staged promotion of propaganda for trump. They have zero credibility from telling so many lies. Trump,has no intentions of allowing the truth from getting out on him.

[Politicub]

31. "It is an honor to treat the president." So sick of Trump's need to

make it seem like being in his presence is somehow an honor. It sounds bizarre and makes me cringe.

Even after this briefing, no one (except the doctors) know the condition of his lungs.

[Politicub]

32. "We don't want a briefing from Baghdad Bob" - Dana Bash on CNN

She captured how his lead doctor comes across.
