This would help the make the doctor’s “wouldn’t want to say anything that might change the course of the illness” statement make sense.

Dexamethasone can cause frank mania, or more severe depressive states. Added to the risk of COVID related neuropsychiatric symptoms/severe delirium the press ought to be asking the medical team how they are formally monitoring his mental status @maggieNYT @jonathanvswan

This is why they said he might be discharged tomorrow. He’s watching and it’s to placate him so he doesn’t refuse treatment today. This tells me how it is going. I serve chronically mentally ill folks for a living. I wish his team much luck.

[Nevilledog]

1. Interesting.

[soothsayer]

2. Scary. Might explain why they indulged his drive by.

Hmm. We shall see.

[Nevilledog]

4. Doesn't seem like anyone has the ability to say no to this fucker.

[Piasladic]

20. I do

No, No, No!

You do not have the right to infect others. You are the President of the United States and you owe us honesty and safety.

[Marie Marie]

8. Scarier still, is how would we be able to tell how the disease or the treatment

is effecting his mental state. Not being facetious - how would we know how this adds to his already compromised mental state? I remember Chris Cuomo talk about having hallucinations.

[MustLoveBeagles]

22. I remember that about Chris

God knows what's going on with Donnie Joyride. This is scary.

[SeattleVet]

14. The rancid oatmeal that passes for a brain in him is so messed up...

that they probably could have just told him he already did his little Covid-Convoy earlier today and his supporters loved it, and then sent him back to his little play office to happily scribble on more paper.

[Wawannabe]

30. This!

Nailed it!

[elleng]

3. 'frank mania, or more severe depressive states.

Added to the risk of COVID related neuropsychiatric symptoms/severe delirium the press ought to be asking the medical team how they are formally monitoring his mental status.'

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

5. fucking sedate him.

[Talitha]

17. THIS

[MustLoveBeagles]

23. +1

[Upthevibe]

29. ihas2stinkyfeet...That's what I'm thinking but if they sedate him

wouldn't the power need to be turned over to Pence first?

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

34. that's the best part.

there was a report here yesterday that jared was running the white house.
if/when cheato if officially incapacitated, pence HAS to take over. which is better than the quisling.

[Statistical]

6. 25th 25th 25th

We have a mentally unhinged person under the influence of strong drugs with the nuclear authorization codes.

[soothsayer]

19. It's like that scary Twilight Zone episode with the kid sending people to the cornfield

[Pachamama]

25. +1000000

We are all in danger every minute he has this authority and power.

The man is insane and dangerous.

[Quixote1818]

7. His brain is beginning to short out. The pressure and bad press are getting to him.

If there is another debate he might have a full blown nervous breakdown.

[global1]

9. Letting Trump Go For This Joy Ride Today Was Really Irresponsible Behavior On The Part Of His Docs..

If his condition gets worse in the next day or two - they're going to shoulder the blame for indulging him and his little stupid antics.

If in fact Trump is discharged tomorrow and he has a Covid crisis back in the WH - the optics of him being Medivac'd back to Walter Reed will really look bad for him.

[gratuitous]

13. Most of those doctors seem kind of young

Maybe they don't have the professional confidence to overrule the president. They might also have been recruited for the medical team for precisely that reason.

And, should the president take a turn for the worse in the coming hours or days (God forbid), you can bet that the Republicans will blame everything under the sun except Trump's irresponsible behavior. If any Democrats weigh in on Trump's selfishness, Republicans will demand an apology for an non-existent inference that Trump is in some part responsible for his own declining health.

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. They've already done this to Nancy Pelosi

[C Moon]

31. Oh my god, is that guy reaching, or what? What a freak.

[dweller]

10. Like the rest of us

they are probably sick of his sorry ass ...
send him back to the White House (note i didn't say 'home')
to die ...

✌🏼

[Johnny2X2X]

11. Watch, he won't quarantine.

He’ll be out tomorrow and he will do a rally this weekend.

[occupant]

12. Send in the Clown

I got a sick feeling he's gonna try to show up at the VP Debate Tuesday. Somehow hes gonna fuck it up, or do a drive by, or worse a walk on!

[captain queeg]

15. If he can walk they'll let him out tomorrow. I'm sure they are sick of him.

They know he’ll be back and they’ll have more leverage the next time. I’m sure some of them are secretly hoping letting him leave will assure he gets sicker and maybe more willing to comply. I feel sorry for the docs. I feel sorry for anyone who is forced to deal with him. Those who willingly go along and support him all deserve to get sick themselves. At a minimum.

[Danmel]

16. I think it is to keep Dow futures from crashing

Just like they waited till the markets closed Friday to hospitalize him.

[soothsayer]

18. Yeah I prefer that one to doctors having to speak in code because it's listening

[ARPad95]

21. This all reminds me of when my in-laws were severely declining in health and my father-in-law

suffered worsening dementia. My mother-in-law was hospitalized for several months prior to her death and my father-in-law wreaked havoc at the hospital. He demanded she be discharged because she wasn't getting good care and he could take better care of her at home. My father-in-law couldn't take care of a pet rock! He just wanted what he was used to having all of the nearly 60 years of their marriage...his live-in caretaker. He couldn't comprehend that she was unable to be that anymore.

I can see Trumpie's delusional strong-man identity he created for himself being so ingrained that he's incapable of accepting any evidence to the contrary. Woe be to any staff member (medical, White House etc.) that has to force him to accept reality. That's why it's so bad he surrounded himself with Yes-(wo)men and enablers.

We're screwed until he's voted out AND 6-feet under.

[grantcart]

26. Tomorrow when he hears about Eric's deposition he is going to have Eric Mania not Frank.

[dchill]

27. Frank-ly, that's hyst-Eric-al.

[Kablooie]

28. Since Pence has not been designated to temporarily take charge...

Trump still has the nuclear football ready to go at any moment.
With a president who's medication could push him into mentally unstable states this doesn't seem to be the best idea in the world.

[C Moon]

32. The GOP is currently thriving on chaos. They don't give a fuck what happens...

Anything goes, except Biden becoming president.

[marlakay]

33. I was just thinking the same thing

The whole last 4 yrs I feel like I have been holding my breath at him either setting off a nuke or starting a major war. I feel like its a miracle just that he hasn't done it and I think the reason why is because most bullies are really paper tigers and cowards. He is scared to start a war thank god!
