Okay everyone. Just breathe.

This is one day. He may look like he has risen and then again, he may be back a Walter Reed tonight dying.

If it’s as serious as we suspect, he’s not well. He’s going to relapse or just still be ill.

Time is not on his side. AND his side is already infernally insane for him with or without his second coming.

for all we know, this could have just been a huge dog and pony show (I am not saying there wasn't Covid circulating in the White House).

The key is to keep focus on what we need to do with the election, and demand that media focus on the scandals (tax dodging etc.) Instead of this White Bronco chase.

....this is only happy news for his base. They already think he is Jesus. They already think Covid is a hoax? What changed? Nothing. Their elation will die out soon enough and we'll all be distracted by the next White House blunder.

there's something seriously wrong with my ability to compute. While waiting on that, I'll try to just breathe. In and out.

and vowed to teach his supporters about the dangers of COVID, but this "don't be afraid of COVID" shit is just plain evil, like Trump himself. If he lives, it's because the devil is too disgusted to have him.

Trump leaving like this shows the country he still doesn't take this seriously and he's the reason why the country is a mess because of that.

At least from the prospective of the election, none of this helps him. Even if he did bounce back quickly, which I can pretty much guarantee you he won't, people aren't going to suddenly trust him or like him because he got sick. Just like everything with this virus, this is a massive mistake they are making and it will blow up in their face.

...it will put his organs under bad, unrelenting stress. And despite what he may think, he’s 74, not 54 (chronologically, that is).

I'm breathing just fine. Orange Anus Mouth can keel over and I'll continue to be just fine...

We have other things to work on, an election to win.
