They are incompetent at everything else so I'm sure an emergency involving the world's greatest malignant narcissist in which he still calls the shots - at least for now - and his band of moronic enablers is going to be a mess.

running tons of misinformation operations when he was House leader.

This is nothing more than a Spin Operation to protect Trump's Image as a Strongman,when in fact he is a loser of the Nth degree.

He was brought in to stop leaks. One of his methods is to plant false information which can later be disproved to bolster claims of fake news

Can this all be a fake reality tv show - an attempt to postpone the election and get T some sympathy? This is so bizarre. Why would Meadows want people to think T is really sick when his MDs are trying to at least obscure his condition?

The President's vitals over last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We are still not on a clear path to a full recovery."

So when the timing is right, a clear path will be made for the chosen one to suddenly emerge, like a miracle????..this lying is so disturbing..their reputation precedes them, thy have no dignity or morals.

I want him to feel pain, those fever nightmares of 200,000+ people dying, and the anguish of their family, 7 million+ people who will forever have physical and emotional ailments, the children torn away from their mothers and fathers, put in cages. My kindness and empathy goes to those people.

I feel I am being tested, and trying not to fall into the same evil pit as the pos and meadows and Johnson etc etc etc..my better angel is winning..I just don't know for how long..

There are a lot of international strategic ramifications to Trump's illness. The CIA, military, intelligence, Homeland Defense, etc., are probably doing some serious gaming out of all the possible things that enemies could do to take advantage of this breakdown in the Executive branch.

Meadows and the doctors may have been instructed by intelligence to keep the details of his condition on the vague side while they put into place contingency plans.

Meadows is infected with the hubris virus and cannot keep his mouth shut with secrets.

JMHO

No, definitely not, he's going to get worse over the next week.

He might even . . . . banish the thought, using up a ventilator and oxygen when there are more deserving people out there.

"he wanted to not say things while the camera was rolling, so anything I report is substantiated by his mentioning that the cameras are rolling."

The video roll is meaningless. All that's left is the boldfaced assertion that he said something. Presumably off the record.

I'm glad to see one reporter who firmly believes that norms and precedent are meaningless.
