Doubt it was even a cough, probably just a throat clear or something, his arms/hands even position on chair don't change... a 'fit' would have changed all that

It's almost as if he has some kind of respiratory illness... Oh wait...

Ouch, Freeman gave him a good klap around the head with regards to race.

If black Americans are called African American, shouldn't white Americans be called British/European American? Never understood that. Are white Americans more American than blacks or any other race?

It's almost like the intent is to divide.

Great man.

And here he is getting race baited by cnn’s Lemon.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Freeman is on board with BLM.

what a terrible debate, candidates and host.

also, interesting body language moments going on there and trump getting emotional too quick.


whats with the wire biden was adjusting?

It's a rosary.

Unless you have MAGA brain worms, in which case it's a secret listening device, because apparently wireless tech hadn't been invented yet. Or maybe it's a magic contact lens, or part of the bone implant. Or whatever other absurd conspiracy theory they want to dredge up.

Trump’s Doctor Admits He Downplayed Severity of President’s Condition to Stay Upbeat

The president, who could be discharged as early as Monday, was given the steroid dexamethasone, which is typically intended for severely ill patients.

slate.com

Donald Trump’s White House physician, Sean Conley, gave another update on the president’s health Sunday and acknowledged that he had tried to downplay the severity of the illness on Saturday in an effort to stay upbeat. “I didn’t want to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction, and in doing so, you know, it came off that we were trying to hide something, which wasn’t necessarily true,” Conley said. “The fact of the matter is that he’s doing really well.”

Well then he seems to have changed his views somewhat since that interview. He can change his mind if he wants, but I disagree on the virtues of BLM.

No one is saying there isn't racism in America, that is just stupid, it's just not systemic and the whole of white America (apart from Hollywood of course) isn't ganging up on black Americans as is so often portrayed.

What a disaster.

Contradicting information from the doctors and the White House on his condition, on the timelines of infection/testing, multiple large, in-door events with no or little mask wearing after Hope Hicks (and possibly Trump) test positive, no contact tracing in the aftermath, chaos in the White House itself as no one knows what's going on.

Local Officials Haven’t Heard from the White House on Contact Tracing

There's no clear indication that the White House is playing its stated role as the coordinator of a critical contact tracing effort

In the days immediately preceding President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis, he and his aides travelled to five states, holding several rallies and crowded indoor events with large groups of people. But there’s no clear indication that the White House is playing its stated role as the coordinator of a critical contact tracing effort that could help stem the spread of the virus, according to local and state health officials.

“People are losing their minds,” one source told the Washington Post newspaper.

As Friday wore on and Trump’s condition worsened, staff were also forced to confront the possibility that his health could be at serious risk.

Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk.

“He’s never cared about us,” one agent told a confidant.”

Yeah, he has Covid-19. Big surprise that he wasn't feeling well, Trump even said as much in the 4 minute clip he put out. Big surprise, politicians have been doing the "I'm fine" act for ages now.

Or he's not at liberty to discuss anything he is not authorized to share?
But sure lets say he was administered oxygen as a precaution at the WH and cause even more media frenzy about how he is on the verge of dying and sow chaos in the stock market. It's not that they didn't try to go that route anyway.

Revealed: Trump-linked consultant tied to Facebook pages warning election will cause civil war

Network run by fake news-publishing father and son spreads word to Trump supporters they should prepare for violence in November

www.theguardian.com

A militia-promoting father and son duo of fake news publishers and a Trump-connected social media consultant are linked to pages which promote the idea of an American civil war with material presented in a way that appears to be an effort to sidestep Facebook’s fact-checking system.

Comments on their Facebook pages and other materials obtained by the Guardian show that some rank and file Donald Trump supporters are enthusiastically receiving the message that they should prepare for violence against their perceived political enemies in November.


The network is comprised of websites owned and operated by Dino Porrazzo Sr and Dino Porrazzo Jr, whose company, AFF Media, is headquartered in Pinon Hills in California. The pair have been running rightwing websites since at latest 2013, according to DNS website records.

The Porrazzos now run a network of websites that enthusiastically promote Trump, and far right anti-government militias like the Three Percenters, and offer distorted versions of current events.

Top aides of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have asked federal law enforcement authorities to investigate allegations of improper influence, abuse of office, bribery and other potential crimes against the state’s top lawyer.

In a one-page letter to the state agency’s director of human resources, obtained Saturday by the American-Statesman and KVUE-TV, seven executives in the upper tiers of the office said that they are seeking the investigation into Paxton “in his official capacity as the current Attorney General of Texas.”

Note, this is not the same issue that he's already under indictment for!

This is only applicable if it was not a routine test. Otherwise you'd have to quarantine permanently.
If the test was in lieu of being in close proximity to someone who recently tested positive then yes he should have quarantined.

I wonder how many of the likes & shares are from stupid people and how many are from those that actually know what's going on or just happy to see Trump working.

Nearly 3 in 4 think Trump did not take appropriate virus precautions: POLL

The results come via a new ABC News/Ipsos poll.

As President Donald Trump remains hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after contracting COVID-19 this week, nearly 3 out of every 4 Americans doubt that he took seriously the threat posed to his well-being nor the steps necessary to avoid contracting the virus, according to a new ABC News/Ipsos poll released Sunday.

In two separate questions, an identical 72% said that Trump did not take the "risk of contracting the virus seriously enough," nor "the appropriate precautions when it came to his personal health."

Joe Biden’s national lead over President Donald Trump nearly doubled after Tuesday’s presidential debate, with voters saying by a 2-to-1 margin that Biden has the better temperament to be president, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

The poll was conducted in the two days after the unruly and insult-filled Sept. 29 debate, but before Trump tested positive for Covid-19 and was hospitalized Friday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The Democratic nominee is now ahead of Trump by 14 points among registered voters, 53 percent to 39 percent — up from his 8-point lead in the previous poll before the debate.
