    There's something very unsettling about the way he references learning first hand about Covid now....

    Either this was some NK styled pantomime or hes gonna nose dive health wise over the next 48 hours.

    From CNN

    Bill Barr is to quarantine.

    He's taken 4 tests up to and including today and all were negative.

    Big Hoax. There we are.

    We will soon know if it is true or not.

    Ever occur to some of you that unless you are very old, in a nursing home and have other stuff that's going to kill you anyway, that this "pandemic" is not what it seems to be, to quote the great John Lydon?

    Big Boy Pants. that's why Trump is what and where he is, while the haters mewl over their laptops :-)


  • Registered Users Posts: 15,971 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    He will be absolutely fine, it is all drama and electioneering.

    Wrong guy. He's in the back seat

    Yeah I know, I'm saying that he had his driver put on PPE for a unnecessary trip around.

    PPE can only mitigate so much in a confined space like that

    Wrong!

    I want him to survive so he can go on trial and spend life in prison.

    Trump derangement syndrome.

    What's the one thing that Teump cares most about?

    The stock market. This stunt with the evening drive was done with the opening bell on Monday morning in mind.

    Actually the drive was timed pretty well for the opening of the Asian markets.

    Yes once you catch it all you need is to be airlifted to hospital, get fed a cocktail of experimental drugs, be the sole patient of a 10 strong team of physicians and you'll be grand.

    I think you're safe from covid anyway, if your stupid hasn't killed you yet , nothing will.

    Given how insane 2020 has been, wouldn't surprise me if Biden is the one that ends up in ICU with Covid.

    So why the use of triple experimental drugs that aren’t being used together for anyone else? I don’t think doctors throw the kitchen sink like that for no reason.

    :D

    Oh, your devastating riposte. I need a "safe space".

    Hardly any person who catches it ends up in hospital. Can you read and comprehend numbers?

    That would be extremely bad, at his age and he already looks like a bad winter would be the end of him. I

    Seems like madness running an election during a pandemic and running two pensioners but thats America.

    My money is on Biden making a racist remark in error


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    This is mad but...
    I don't think that was him in the car.
    I checked vids of him waving before, and he normally waves with a wrist move.
    The person in the car waved more with his arm and wrist rigid.

    A black van will probably be outside my house in 3... ...2...

    Trump catching covid is stopping him from campaigning in an election that he is losing. It is also embarrassing to him and his campaign due to the fact that he continuously down played the virus. This is a disaster for him. Biden has even more ammunition to use against him now.

    A disgusting accusation. Let me make clear how disgusted I am, even though it's completely insincere.

    He is the most powerful person in the world and the disruption from him being seriously ill or on a slab would have global political and financial implications that would he felt here.

    That's why.

    He presumably specifically requested them. What Trump wants, Trump gets.

    Handily enough for him, it now allows him to promise these 'miracle drugs' for everyone citing himself as an example as to how a cure is on the way. Hope is a powerful thing to be able to offer in dark times. The promise will be a load of nonsense of course, but it won't stop him making it for political reasons during the closing days of the campaign. It'll be a last ditch effort to try and turn a horrendous topic, i.e. Covid-19, into a not so horrendous issue.

    Let's just ask this guy for the answer to any question, seems to be really smart and sure of himself

    That's just terrible. I think

    Experimental drugs are high risk. My point being that he must have been quite ill for a doctor to take the risk. They wouldn’t do it out of fear unless it was last chance saloon.

    I think a lot of people will be looking at the metrics for Trump's social media campaign on the back of this Covid-19 scare.

    His video from the hospital has 35m views on Twitter alone. Facebook is multiple times that, probably close to 150m views at this stage and climbing. 130k shares, 120k comments. Contrast that to Biden's video content for the same period, couple of million views, 7k shares and 5k comments. There is some serious targeting going on at the moment coupled with viral spreading.

    With more 'inspirational' Covid-19 videos to follow too. Clever campaigning.

    EDIT: His video from two hours ago has 10m views on Twitter already. Holy ****!

    It would be terribly ironic if trump catching vurus and experimental treatments being used on him in some way brought forward a cure.
    I can just see the speeches claiming that he single handedly put an end to the virus and saved the world.

    He will say it regardless, either way.
