    He might already be dead for all we know

    Oh? Look at their boss.



    You mean you don't think they'd sink as low as they always do?


    It could be true....how would we know ?

    Besides, remember TRUMP said covid was no big deal, no worse than a cold and everyone recovered just fine....

    ….so I guess there's nothing to worry about...

    I hope not and that he successfully recovers. The political arena cannot afford more shocks to the system.

    There's a chopper on the WH lawn (not running)... I guess we'll see if he walks out unaided, or we have a scene from "Weekend at Bernies"...

    Or maybe they get that guy from "The Comey Rule".... From a (great) distance, that could work...

    Does seem odd to move him given that there is a fully equipped secure medical room within the white House and just hours after being tested positive. Perhaps he was the one who gave it to Hope. HCQ and heart problems is not a good combination.

    Walter Reed has an executive suite that was designed for exactly this reason. If needed, he can get better care, there. The job is to protect the president, so he has to go when the doctor says go. This rule also applied to the Secret Service. They can overrule the president if his safety is a factor.

    I'm not smelling conspiracy theory, yet.

    This isn't really a joking matter. Are you happy about this? It is a terrible time for the president to be in this kind of trouble.

    We have to protect the president; even the ones we don't like. It's bad for the country when a president dies in office.

    He wouldn’t allow himself to be hospitalized unless it was real

    My impression is that his doctors advised that he should be monitored at the hospital. I get the feeling that he has some underlying health issues that make this diagnosis very precarious. I thought he looked very tired at the debate and just attributed it to his hectic travel schedule. I hope this move is just routine and he's not in grave danger.

    Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor and don't play one on tv. ;-)

    He probably doesn't have a choice. Ever hear of ship's doctor? The job is to protect the president.

    Why? If he's experiencing "mild symptoms" as reported, what can a hospital do that access to everything in the world at the WH wouldn't give you?

    And LOL at Trump following the advice of doctors.... Seems to me that failure to do that is how we got here to begin with...

    Walter Reed is where the president goes to get the best treatment.

    We have to protect the president.

    So, do you understand that four weeks before an election, in the shittiest year on record, why it's important to protect the president?

    You have already agreed that it's bad for the country when a president dies in office. We protect the president, even the ones we don't like.
