Trump says he beat COVID-19 because he's a 'perfect physical specimen'

Source: NY Post

President Trump said he’s a “perfect physical specimen” and feels better than ever after battling the coronavirus.

“I’m back because I am a perfect physical specimen and I’m extremely young. And so I’m lucky in that way,” he said on Fox Business Thursday.

...

He said he received Regeneron and it made all the difference.

“You take it and it beats the hell out of it. And I’m telling you I could have walked out of there 24 hours after I went in. I didn’t even have to go in frankly. I think it would have gone away,” he said.

That is even sillier, if possible, than claiming it is a 'perfect physical specimen', and that nonesense cries out for the further question, perfect physical specimen of what?

But from what we see in the photos when Donnie’s either in a suit or golf clothing, no, we don’t.

And I am hoping that they are all conferring with one another and working something behind the scenes, because as much as we joke about it, we are watching our country literally falling off the rails.

Funny that he is such a perfect specimen that he had to be hospitalized but 32 of the 34 that tested positive are recuperating at home.

where people who had covid shared their recollections of having the disease and the recovery. Going by their experiences, the first few days were rough, followed by a few days where they felt better, then WHAM!

Going by their timelines, the shitgibbon should be entering the worst of the illness right about the same time as hurricane Delta makes landfall.

As I've been saying: ...wait for it...

Any sense of 'he's just saying this outrageous stuff to fuck with his enemies' is long gone. He actually believes every word of every utterance and tweet.

He is profoundly mentally ill, and is a danger to himself and others.
