    good point from someone on twitter - trump's a lifelong germaphobe and is terrified of hospitals. he wouldn't agree to to go to one unless it was pretty serious. multiple reports now he was given oxygen in the white house friday due to difficulty breathing.

    He's a germaphobe but he's been happily wandering up and down the country for months at massive rallies not wearing a mask, during a pandemic

    Do people actually pause to think before they scutter that sort of nonsense out? :o

    Trumps a mans man - a warrior. He'll pull through.

    The moral equivalence of ' it is what it is ' acceptance of reality, with ' good riddance to the pair of them ' , from lefties is interesting indeed.

    Wouldnt expect anything less tbh.

    What the fu(k is a man's man supposed to mean in this context?

    He is an unhealthy gobshyte that has an ego so broken that his own vanity stopped him from taking basic precautions to protect his health.

    Healthy mascuilne men with their heads screwed on...you know the ones that are in short supply these days - they tend to fight off illness successfully.

    So all we really know is, he’s in a condition.

    This is entirely plausible and, if true, absolutely ****ing crazy.

    I hate to tell you this man, but Trump is clearly overweight, famously lazy, lives off junk food and take away and hasn't done a day manual labour in his life.

    So unless you have a very different definition of masculine, he's not your guy.

    Is it them putting chemicals in the water that turn the frogs gay?
    So what you are saying is you think we need more masculine men like Alex Jones and Donald Trump?

    Yeah, sounds just like the guy that releases obvious bull**** under the heading "Trumps 2020 physical"

    Lol, not what I would think of as a good example of a 'man', never mind the healthy part..

    Trump is an old obese man, who apparently never exercises. The guy is in serious trouble from Covid. If he does survive, I doubt he will be a 100% for a long time if at all.

    There is a possibility that he lives, and suffers from long covid, which would mean he is unfit to be President on health grounds.

    There is so much that can go wrong for Trump with this illness, even if he lives.

    Look at Boris Johnson, who was much younger and it nearly killed him, and apparently he is not altogether well even now.

    Trump’s Covid messaging:

    JAN: It’s under control
    FEB: It’s a hoax
    M: Packed churches by Easter
    APRIL: It’s going away
    MAY: Time to open up
    JUNE: Just embers
    JULY: Time to open schools
    AUG: Other countries are worse
    SEPT: Vaccines coming soon!
    OCT: *tweeting from the hospital*

    Lol

    JAN: Trump initiated a travel ban on China at the end of January when the left were all focused on impeachment and saying it was racist to be trying to mitigate the spread of the virus and there were too many white people on the Coronavirus taskforce.
    FEB: Lifted Obama era barriers to the private industry so that testing could be carried out faster.
    MAR: Optimism. What a bastard.
    APRIL-SEP:
    https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1249453028178001920
    Mobilized both the public and private sectors to secure and manufacture needed supplies.
    Enacted the Defense Production Act over 25 times to make sure that America had much needed supplies.
    Provided financial support to workers and small businesses to help them stay afloat.
    Invested billions into vaccine and therapeutic research.
    Launched the Paycheck Protection Program.
    Took executive action to ensure unemployment benefits for those out of work and prevent families from losing their homes.
    OCT: Trump succumbed to Covid just as many other politicians have, some of them even democrats, which seems impossible what with them being so perfect and all.


    Just on the whole "hoax" nonsense (which you have lied about again) even the WaPo gave that lie four Pinocchios:

    And yet, still in power.

    WHen more than 50% of elected politicians refuse to recognsise their own stupidity, it'll be the next election before the public get to decide.

    And even when the opportunity comes, when those that matter don't bother voting while the sxta-septu-octo-generians vote religiously, 50% or more of voters will make stupid decisions on behalf of everyone (30% in the UK, because of 50% or more rejecting proportional representation in 2011, despite an increasingly multi party system).

    So Donald told the country to gear up with face masks but then he and his administration totally ignored his own advice for months resulting in the utter sh!t show we've seen over the past few days where Donnie is now in hospital with covid and members of his inner circle are dropping like flies from it

    And you're still on here singing his praises???

    You're completely deluded man


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,236 ✭✭✭mcmoustache




    "Reviewing documents" is a bit of a giveaway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


    I mean I'm all for ragging on Trump and what not, but he's the President of the US. Of course he's going to get preferential treatment.

    There is preferential treatment and there is taking the piss. I'm not sure we have such swanky rooms set aside JUST IN CASE Micheal or Leo get a cough. I know he has to have private safe rooms but it looks like a hotel and there are thousands in USA that can't even afford health care. Its obscene

    Jon Cooper isn't reliable. The other sources are fine though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,741 ✭✭✭It wasnt me123


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

    No but if he is sick he doesn't need a hotel suite - and that hospital doesn't have just one set aside, it has a few - its obscene when some in the USA can't afford health care.

    First of all, you're presuming that masks are the reason the POTUS contracted the virus but that is pure conjecture. As I highlighted in my post, some politicians have contracted it where there was a State wide mask order in place.

    Also, it wasn't just Trump advising people to wear masks, it was the administration also, but you (and the rest of the world) wouldn't know that as the mainstream media rarely relayed their advice to the public given they were much too busy telling their viewers that Trump had said George Floyd's would be happy with job numbers and that if they have Covid they should inject bleach. Unsurprising then that most people haven't a bull's notion what the advice actually was that was coming from the White House with regards to masks or how much the administration had done to ensure masks were available to the public.


    Here's a selection of the kind of stuff I'm referring to:


    https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1253450242701381632
    https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1286417189248139264
    https://twitter.com/WhiteHouse/status/1294033329864540160


    And what the mainstream media ignoring all the above does is enable them to push false narratives that Donald Trump and his administration doesn't care about, didn't take it serious and in fact thought it was a hoax and people like you, sadly, believe it.
