Given that upwards of 75% of voters think the president has not taken covid seriously enough or taken the right precautions, and 70% are now personally worried about the virus, I'm not sure that exposing his security detail in order to get a photo-op is the best political move


It's amazing. It is just so obvious to regular people. But to a narcissistic sociopath, this is what is demanded. The narcissist needs the adulation. The sociopath doesn't care who it harms.

It is the church teargassing all over again.
 
Sorry, one more. This is remarkable. Remember when people would talk about Biden's popularity and fav/unfav view from voters. And people would say, oh just wait. Trump is gonna play so dirty and attack until he's down at the same level as Trump, and that's how Trump will pull it off again, just like Hillary.

Well, These are the fav/unfav numbers from the NBC polls taken this year for Biden.

1/20 = -10
8/20= -6
9/20 = -2
10/20 = +2

The attacks on ‘socialism’ and ‘sleepy Joe’ have not only NOT moved numbers away from Biden, but Biden’s actually gotten steadily more popular.
 
Again I say, there's got to be something someone can do. I don't know what, exactly, nor do I care who it is, but someone needs to put a stop to this shit. Now. This is fucking insane.

I think that question goes through everyone's mind almost every day. And the answer unfortunately continues to boil down to voting him out. The safeguards/guardrails or whatever that were supposed to contain or even remove him all failed. It is up to us now.
 
Wow. So Melania hasn’t visited Donnie in the hospital because they said they didn’t want to put Secret service at risk. Then Trump does this. Can you imagine Obama or anyone choosing waving at people from a car over seeing their wife? He truly is a vile piece of shit.

They are both disgusting and deserve each other.

I'm guessing that's not the only reason she hasn't visited.

Seriously, though, yeah, just another thing to add to our list of reasons why, no, we DON'T have to show any sympathy or compassion for this asshole.

Absolutely. I’m sure she has had no interest in seeing him. I’m guessing these are some of the best 3 days she’s had, even with covid.
This was just the official reason given.
 
McConnell has declared that all GOP senators must be "back and healthy" on October 19.

Frankly the Democrats should demand proof of test results. This cult is not beyond sending in COVID spreaders to vote.
 
100% most of us called it.

Were it not for Bloomberg News breaking the Hope Hicks story who knows where we'd be. I don't think they are competent enough to hide it, particularly with Trump's symptoms but they sure as hell would have tried.

Flip side is had Bloomberg not outed Hicks, Trump may have passed out at one of his rallies Friday or Saturday. That would have been better.

True, watching him sweat uncontrollably and trying not to cough would have been quite a sight to behold.

I mean... she's also positive and neither should be able to have guests currently so this seems to me like a bullshit story

Remember her name:

"Bloomberg senior White House reporter
Jennifer Jacobs broke the news Thursday night that Hicks — who traveled with the president on Air Force One to the debate on Tuesday and the campaign rally yesterday — has been diagnosed with the virus. "

She should probably get the Medal of Freedom when Biden is President.

The NBC reporter called the White House for comment on why she hadn't visited and this is what he said they told him.
I would think that if they both have it, it wouldn't matter. Not like a healthy family member wanting to see their relative sick with covid in the hospital. And this I assume would be a whole separate section of the hospital where the presidential suite is located. I dunno. Always possible to be bullshit as well, or an uninformed staffer just coming up with an answer.
