Antibodies found in him are likely those he was infused with.

He isn't even over it yet. His steroid regimen
still has a couple more days, and who knows
what will happen after that.

for further research into this treatment would have been agreed upon prior to administration.
It is still in the research phases even BEFORE submission for FDA approval.

Primarily because donating plasma takes about three hours. Your blood is removed and a saline solution is injected. Your donation is spun to separate the plasma from the whole blood. Then the whole blood minus the plasma is returned to your body. It takes about three hours. I can't see Trump sitting still for three hours, let alone three minutes.

He'd just have blood drawn from a flunky and say it was his.

I can imagine that some of his "people" would pay bigly for the chance to have some
trump in them. It will be administered by enema.

How'd that work out? He says he has a healthcare plan, too. Been saying that for four years now. We're still waiting. Just like we will be waiting a long time for him to donate plasma--or anything else. I can't believe people still believe his bullshit.

I can think of nothing more disgusting than being anywhere near any of his Not-So-Precious Bodily Fluids. It would be a hit with the MAGAboys and MAGAgirlz, though.
