Whether Trump was really sick or he played his base like a fiddle?

We’re never gonna know the truth! For me? I think he was sick, but when you get free medical attention and free medication, the best of both of them, you might just get better quicker than others? Oh by the way, isn’t that socialism at it best, help those who need it the most! People in his circle have supposedly come down with virus, but yet no word about how they are doing? The White House of Trump refuses to tell the public the truth about anything or anyone. So, we’re left to only false rumors or Trump lies to cover up everything in the past 4 years. Well, we can fix that! We can stop Trump and his goons from taking our dignity of the truth and the validity of the facts, so they can keep their so-called power! We have the same power they do and it is called our vote! We need every person to vote! If you are still unsure of who you’re vote make up your mind fast, time is running out on our freedoms! Trump will continue to spew his lies. We know the truth and we know Trump is a fraud, a cheat, a moron, a fake lazy man plus more. Let’s put an end to the this pathetic administration and the GOPers’ hold on our country! VOTE,VOTE,VOTE!

...especially on his return from Walter Reed.

Suggesting that he made the whole think up is a conspiracy theory that assumes a level of strategic organization he's completely incapable of achieving.

Sickness equals weakness in his mind and he’d never voluntarily admit to any weakness.

His speedy “recovery” is a means of mitigation to assuage his image, i.e., “I’m so strong that I beat Covid in a day!”

But make no mistake about it, he’s likely still feeling symptoms and is probably hopped out of his mind on drugs right now to hide that fact.

Clearly he has issues and is starting to look like he's losing weight. I wonder if he'll make it to Friday with his rallies. I hope his infected minions start ending up incapacitated in great number from the WH to the groupies who follow him around.

treatment no one has available to them. Most have to sit around home until they are bad enough to go into hospital. Now we all see, first symptoms, go in and get treated, works better for all of us. But we will not have that opportunity.
