On Thursday afternoon, President Trump claimed that he had won this week’s debate against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., then veered into complaining about how the Commission on Presidential Debates might change procedures for their next event to avoid him repeatedly talking over his opponent again.

“Why would I allow the debate commission to change the rules for the second and third debates when I easily won last time?” Mr. Trump tweeted, raising the prospect that he might not go ahead with their second scheduled debate.

A short time later, his political advisers devoted a 20-minute campaign call with reporters to denouncing commission members by name and accusing them of “bias.” The advisers insisted that Mr. Trump would take part in future debates, but the complaining hardly exuded confidence.

Sure, Donnie - you won the debate.
Now get back into bed and the nice nurse will bring you your Adderall.

What a whiny, petulant little loser.

If Trump survives this virus, I have feeling he's going to win the election in landslide (EC points) in uncertain times people vote conservative and having somebody who has some immunity to the virus would make Trump to look the more stable candidate as he's less likely to be killed by the virus during his second term

Not sure how this compares as he's not in an election fight, but regarding Boris's popularity before/after covid:

Boris Johnson saw uptick in popularity after he contracted coronavirus. Will Trump see the same?

Do you have evidence that it's by far mostly trump supporters exhausting the market of face masks? To me it sounds like general American hysteria and comes from all rounds of the political spectrum.

Without evidence all I hear is hot air.

A troll kind of knows he's making a joke. This dude actually believes a far crazy neo "progressive" article he read which probably looks like this level of click bait. "Trump supporters might be exhausting the market from face masks as they presumably realised this is a serious situation after the chief in command got covid 19."

CNN reporting 101

Or the gaurdian. I don't even read a link posted to that falsehood of a dumpsterfire anymore.

Does anyone here know how long "another period of time" is?

I'll take regular hours and days, or scaramuccis if you prefer.

Hard to know exactly what is going on, but the facts are slowly emerging. Updated link:
www.bbc.com

Trump doing well and could be discharged on Monday, doctors say

The president, who is taking a steroid to treat a drop in oxygen level, continues to improve, his doctors say.
www.bbc.com
Trump's doctor, Dr Sean Conley, says the president has been treated with dexamethasone after "a few episodes of transient drops in oxygen saturation". He received his first dose yesterday.

He said that although Trump was doing well on Thursday night, on Friday morning his oxygen was dipping below 94% and he had a high fever.

His oxygen then recovered and dipped again, and while he was "up and out of bed" later on Friday, they took the decision to move him to Walter Reed.

Yesterday Conley gave a briefing that suggested Trump had tested positive for the virus on Wednesday, a day before he attended a fundraiser in New Jersey.

White House officials later clarified that Trump was diagnosed on Thursday evening.

National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien has said Trump will stay in hospital "for a period of time".

He added that days seven and eight are "the critical days" for someone with Covid-19, and that "the doctors want to make sure that they're there for the president and he's getting the best treatment and he's doing well".
