Trump's Condition Far More Serious Than They're Pretending
Donald Trump was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center Friday afternoon, a day after publically announcing he tested positive for COVID-19. The public was told this was done out of an abundance of caution, but later we found out the President’s oxygen levels were getting into dangerously low territory. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was honest about Trump’s condition saying it was “very concerning” on Friday. Since then, the President has released videos on Twitter updating the public on his condition and he does appear to be improving. The issue is that we can never know for sure because this White House lies so much.
There is a chance that Trump gets released from the hospital today. This wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense since the virus takes one to two weeks to run its course and Trump is still contagious and at risk of getting worse. The speculation is that an ICU has been set up in the White House so he can go there if his condition declines. The Trump administration is handling the president’s coronavirus case like they have handled the entire pandemic — focus primarily on the optics and don’t listen to the scientific and medical experts when they say to be cautious.
Manic Trump Tweetstorm from Hospital Bed
Battling the coronavirus has not stopped Donald Trump from carrying out his presidential duty . . . of tweeting. This morning from Walter Reed hospital, Trump sent out twenty consecutive manic tweets, almost all of which in capital letters, trying to get his vague campaign platitudes across. Among the tweets were the messages, “SPACE FORCE. VOTE!,” “RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. VOTE!," and “LAW & ORDER. VOTE!”
Some were elated to see Trump going back to his old tweeting habits, viewing it as a sign that he’s on the road to recovery. Others speculate that the manic tweets could be a result of the medications he is receiving in the hospital. One of the drugs the President is on now, dexamethasone, has the side effect of delusions of grandeur. Trump already has that in his normal state of being so it would be impossible to know if he’s getting more of that effect from the medicine.

Host Reminds Ted Cruz Trump Called His Wife Ugly
Texas Senator Ted Cruz went on Chris Cuomo’s CNN show last week and he probably now regrets it. At every turn of the exchange, Cuomo had the upper hand. Cruz tried to argue Biden, not Trump, is a racist because he eulogized Robert Byrd. Cuomo called it a “weak ass” argument as Byrd came around to denounce racism later in his life. The CNN anchor also reminded Cruz that Trump called his wife ugly and now he carries the President’s water like it never happened. Later in the interview, Cruz tried to call Democrats obstructionists for filibustering Republican legislation and Cuomo brought up the moment when Cruz read Green Eggs and Ham on the Senate floor. I bet Cruz wishes he could have this one back.

Trump brags about how much he’s learned about COVID-19 and that he’s going to share it with us. Hey, dumb ass, it took you nine months and getting COVID-19 to get educated? This is after you deliberately withheld from the American people what you were told in February about COVID-19 being nasty, deadly and highly contagious. There is a term for what you have done President Trump with the COVID-19 pandemic. I call it “negligent genocide“. Nobody knows the exact count of the number of people who died because of your negligence but you can be sure that it’s in the tens of thousands. Tens of thousands of Americans. That’s genocide on your own people. (Anyone who disagrees with that contention is in denial.)
