Trump Won't Travel Over Weekend, Ending Florida Rally Plan

Source: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump will remain at the White House this weekend, people familiar with the matter said, after he said he wanted to hold rallies in Florida and Pennsylvania despite questions over the stage of his recovery from Covid-19.

Trump, who told Fox’s Sean Hannity late Thursday that he wanted to hold rallies Saturday and Sunday, won’t travel until Monday at the earliest, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

I wish he'd last until 11/4 at least. Regardless, bet he's dead within 2,3 weeks.

Pence has been given a heads up and orders to stay near by.

Are the roids wearing off? He'll change his mind again if they give him a double shot. And his docs do what he tells them to do.

Interesting he hasn't demanded beach, or any if the other cures he was touting not long ago, though.

Only a death cult member could fail to see right through his blatant BS.

if he has tried bleach or hydroxychlorophine. Just for the fun of reminding listeners of the difference between what he says and what he does when he's the one who is sick.

Put yourself in a doctor’s shoes. You’re treating Trump. You know three things:

1) He has coronavirus and he’s probably going to die of it.
2) He is demanding MMS (the cute name for bleach) injections
and
3) He has attempted to kill his enemies.

Would you...
a) Make up a bag of MMS, knowing that will kill him and you’ll be charged with assassinating the president, or
b) Make a label that says MMS on it with all sorts of other official looking data on it, and stick it on a bag of Ringer’s Lactate, which won’t hurt him and he needs anyway?

I think this, plus his gasping for breath today on his regular radio air time with his RW surrogates plus Pence's being recalled to Washington indicates he's heading for "the exit" (perhaps with a stop at the medically-induced coma and ventilator stage.)

They call it Mar-a-Lago, not Mar-a-Cheapo, and the bastard has billed the Secret Service for thousands of room nights at full rack rate.

Wonder if it's that he feels so bad, or that doctors threatened that they'd tell that he's still positive if he does? I can see either one, but figure the first is a lot more likely, especially given how much he was coughing yesterday.

I think you're correct.

he has got to still be weak from the disease and all the meds! The docs may be afraid he'll pull a William Henry Harrison.

Must be tapering the dexamethasone (because I am assuming that stuff MUST be tapered - they have only slowly started not requiring as much of a taper for short courses of prednisone).

On NPR they were just talking about “DR Sean (I will tell the public whatever you tell me to) Conley Saying that he was doing well.

I thought.

Weird that it has changed so abruptly.

Or else, he has actually been much sicker than they were letting on.

What a bunch of horse poo.

And that makes sense that Pence was called back to DC
