discussing when he will be released from the hospital. Yes, it can be mentioned that he is responsible for his covid infection. There are so many wrongdoings that are more important than this one. JMO

but that pool is needed for the glorious arrival at the White House.

I recall a "Supplemental Pool" was sent to Walter Reed prior to the airlift, leaving the In House Pool to cover the walk to the chopper.

Maybe the arrival to the White House will not be so glorious.

If he was being released, would they be heading there?

I think if at all possible he's heading to the White House, but if he stays another day it will be odd.

to inject chaos and confusion into everything going on at the moment? They give out conflicting statements from anyone and everyone involved in this debacle. They’ve roped doctors into the mix giving rosy statements about his treatment and recovery. On the other hand, credible experts say giving him the cocktail of drugs he has received (or allegedly received) is usually reserved for only the sickest patients. So which is it? He is recovering faster than anyone else on the planet? Or he is very, very sick but still strong as an ox?? He got diagnosed last Friday? He got diagnosed earlier in the week, thus exposing hundreds to the Covid virus shedding off of his carcass? It is anybody’s guess.

These people are way beyond maddening. They are dangerous and many people will pay the price for that. Also, is tRump directing all of this from his suite at Walter Reed? Is he pushing for discharge so he can issue orders from the White House and keep a closer eye on his people??

I still keep thinking of the books that will be written on this chapter alone of tRump’s presidency.

{"this stuff is of NO help for trump"}

Well, with the press covering this shit show 24/7 like it's a hostage situation at the UN lets examine what we aren't talking about. Trumps taxes; who he owes all that money too; Eric Trump having to appear to give a deposition in a criminal fraud investigation; Trumps performance at the debate; and last but certainly not least Joe Biden.

I haven't heard the mainstream press mention Biden or any of that other stuff in 72 hours. Hell undecided voters have probably forgot who Trumps running against by now. And they will probably send Trump home during the Biden town hall with Lester Holt tonight.

CNN and MSNBC should change their corporate logo to the image of a reporter kneeling between Trumps legs to blow him while he pats the top of their head.

A source familiar with POTUS phone calls from the hospital today tells me he said “I need to get out of here.” He's being warned that if he rushes to leave the hospital and has a setback it would be bad for not just his health, but his re-election campaign.
