    No spin needed, Mike - just the truth. The man advocated nothing. He relayed a conservation he already had with Bryan about future research. Hence the "So I asked Bill a QUESTION.." and the "And then I said SUPPOSING you.." and the "And I THINK YOU SAID YOU ARE GOING TO TEST THAT too" and the "And IS THERE A WAY WE CAN DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.." and the "So IT'D BE INTERESTING TO CHECK THAT" and the "It SOUNDS INTERESTING TO ME, so we'll see" etc etc.

    He's the POTUS, directing federal resources into an investigation of obviously quack theories. He's *advocating* for these investigations based on what he heard. Did he stand up there and say, "Hey, go inject yourself, it's safe." No. Would he ever do such a thing? Of course not - he'd always say, 'take the best medical advice.' You know, like the one he directed to investigate these quack cures. He even advocated for Hydroxychloroquine (sort of, took it himself but never did come out and say, you should do so.)

    So, yeah, he advocated for light and disinfectant as possible therapies for Covid. And, get real - this story won't die because he's the president and his words matter.

    Looks like Trump himself isn't going to die either just yet. He's leaving hospital this evening, and I can't believe his doctors would be letting that happen if he was in serious danger.

    It can take ten days for the full effect of this virus to present. It has been just a couple of days since he got it.

    But then, maybe he had it long before he admitted to, so maybe he is in the clear.
    Impossible to tell with Trump. I wonder did he even tell his own doctors the truth.


    I agree that his doctors would try not to endanger the potus, but this is Trump we a talking about. Does he listen to doctors?

    Well yes I envisage him as this sort of patient too



    But if is life was in danger he would not be able to conceal that from his doctors, and they would not be hiding it from him, even if they're not telling the rest of us. I don't believe even Trump is reckless enough to insist he is released from hospital in those circumstances...

    Wonder if he has any interest in politics as a career? He was Born To Run, after all. He could take the US out of the Badlands and back to its Glory Days.

    Steven Van Zandt for VP.

    He is a narcissist that hates looking weak and also hates hospitals. People that knew him said it must be really bad on Friday for him to agree to go. If he is pumped full of drugs and feels strong I can see him wanting to get out of there, even if the strength is just coming from the drugs, just to show off how strong he is. The truth of how well he is will be if he speaks to the media at all (via live video or phone). If not then he is bad.

    Oh it drives me mad watching him lie.

    Is he that big a spoofer or just that ignorant? That's the big question for me :)
    Also the night he lectured us on South Korea too. :pac:

    As always no one knows more about it them him. Eh.. lots of people do ha

    He wasn't lying when he said any of that. He was just incorrect. Misheard the following stat I expect:

    Misheard it on April 21, and with the media highlighting how wrong it was every time he said it, he was still mishearing it 24 days later...


    Apart from yourself (maybe), I doubt there's a single person on boards who actually believes that.

    It's ok Pete, people lie, presidents lie even. He wouldn't be the only one.

    So, yeah, he advocated for light and disinfectant as possible therapies for Covid. And, get real - this story won't die because he's the president and his words matter.

    Nope, again: he asked if there was someway that the anti-viral qualities of light and antiseptics could be harnessed in some way for use inside the body. A silly question, no doubt, which I think he realized given that he then sarcastically said "You’re going to have to use medical doctors for that, right?" and smiled. A nothing burger if ever there was one especially given that we bring tea tree oil inside the body via steam and scientists are currently researching the possibilities of using UV light inside the body also:

    https://finance.yahoo.com/news/aytu-bioscience-announces-manufacture-delivery-120000160.html

    Ultimately though, was just harmless questions asked in a lighthearted way for 64 seconds and if the media truly cared about the public's health they'd have ignored that portion of the presser and focused on the rest, relaying all the helpful data that had been presented. They couldn't help themselves though as Orange Man Bad is always, always, the MSM main agenda, not as they suggest, the best interests of Americans.

    I fully accept that his condition may well be worse than he or his doctors are telling us. However, I am convinced there is a floor to this and his life cannot be at serious risk otherwise there is no way he would be leaving this hospital.

    I have money on him to win but I think his goose is cooked. Barring some catastrophe from Biden, I'd be happy to call the race now.

    Democrats do enjoy employing abysmal tactics.

    Betting aside, were you hoping that Trump would get re-elected?
