Bringing up the point that the President cannot function properly while potentially suffering from foggy brain, Covid after effects, etc. Both he and Pence need to be 100% and that Trump may just want to het back to the WH to appear fine. Also, isn't Shlump still contagious? Dr. E also mentions Shlump's shortness of breath in the twitter vid

By saying he could be released, could cause a surge in the overnight market futures, and Monday morning stock open.

Remember that Steve Mnuchkin is now allowing his minions to invest US treasury funds in the stock market - a risky move if a black swan event happens, such as presidential illness.

They're more worried about the stock market than the public.
