    From another thread.

    Could be part of a ploy

    Botox is not experimental.

    He's the president ffs. Did you think he'd be sitting on a plastic chair for 5hrs in the A&E??

    Exactly right. He's an odious pig of a man but surely no-one thinks he's not going the get the best and most preferential treatment.

    Although your hypothetical situation above did make me chuckle. I reckon it could be comedy gold to see how Donald would get on if he went into A&E in Tallaght or somewhere on a Friday night.

    His tweet is fake. Someone else wrote it.


    I've never seen trump use more than one exclamation mark and three are used together here.

    Just doesn't read like his tweets and very much like someone trying to mimic them, but they don't do well enough.

    The first 10 or 12 hours on this thread were comical, before beasty came in and deleted a mass of posts

    I've never seen so much hate, so much glee, so much bile spewed in one thread before

    The media have drummed up so much negative rhetoric and ridicule against trump over the last few years, that they have basically made it socially acceptable to openly express hatred for a person or group you don't like or disagree with.

    It's a bit like the nazis making it socially acceptable to openly hate jews through sustained propaganda and social humiliation.

    The media have blood on their hands with the sort of toxic messages they are sending out to the public. They are creating a monster out in society.

    Never before has a Presidents words, actions and thoughts been so widely available. He pushed himself to the centre of the Covid Press briefings. He has used Twitter like a 15 year old over the last 4 years with seemingly every thought which crossed his mind expressed on the platform.

    His hiring of staff since he got the role, his engagement with them, his reaction to them and their words after leaving similarly is all published or broadcast pretty much verbatim.

    What is it that you think that the media has done which has misrepresented him in some way?

    What's the safety studies and stats on these cocktails they are driving into him?

    Nothing peer reviewed.....

    Why are the fake news getting the real news while the American people get the fake news from Trump's doctor?

    Still works in progress. I posted this link earlier, one of the Drs. quoted in the article is someone I've followed for some time and very astute:

    "While still at the White House, Trump, 74, received a single dose of Regeneron's antibody cocktail, according to a letter issued by White House physician Sean Conley.

    The treatment is undergoing clinical trials but hasn't yet received any form of regulatory approval."


    https://www.sciencealert.com/here-s-what-we-know-about-the-antibody-treatments-trump-is-getting-for-covid-19

    They're not approved for general use yet, that was either mentioned in the Q&A at the presser or in various followups. Trump's medical team had to approach the company directly on 'compassionate grounds'

    So, yeah, there's a big orange lab rat being experimented on right now that unfortunately has the codes for the nuclear football.

    On CNN

    Dr Sean Connolly has now said he made a mistake.

    Instead of saying Day 3 he said 72hrs.

    So Trump was first diagnosed on Thursday(Day 1).

    Surely Pence is in charge now, Trump is unable to do the job (not that he ever was) now.

    So are we all ready for the inevitable conspiracy theories about Trump being replaced by a fake stand-in when he does comes back.

    Neither is Pence.


  • Registered Users Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    I see they are saying he's "slightly overweight" . Been a tough few months for him since he was the height and weight of a running back after his physical.............

    They have to inform Congress if that's after happening. No indication yet that it has.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,758 ✭✭✭stockshares


    I expect this guy is getting fired.

    Mark Meadows C.O.S was source for saying Trump's health is worse than reported.

    He wasn't even subtle about it, there's video of him pulling some reporters aside right after the doctors briefing to give them the real update.
