Just heard he’s off to Walter Reed. Was also given an experimental drug. I’d say he’s quite ill and he wasn’t the one that posted the tweet.

Imagine what it's like to be Donald Trump this afternoon. 4 weeks before the election that will determine your future, you're being transferred to Walter Reed. For the next few days, at least, you will be deprived of campaigning, which is like oxygen. You're down in the polls, and every day at Walter Reed will mean a drop in the polls.

Stress to the max.

Just like the people who came out to listen to Hitler. They loved him as well.
And you probably wonder why the right is giving back some of the nastiness that has been dished out by the left for so long.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

What the hell is he like a race horse to you, Ajax? He's a human being with family worried about him right now and you want to take bets.

My god.
He's a fighter and a champion. He'll beat this.

Ya I think using the term Covid 19 was a giveaway that it was not Trump tweeting.

LOL Like nastiness in the past has been all one sided. The real problem is people giving their support to a Demagogue who may destroy their democracy. You are already on record as favoring a one party state. You basically support Trump doing away with American democracy, but are extremely ignorant to what it would really mean.

Hey don't worry. If he doesn't make it you can always cast lots for his Armani suits.

Looks like he walked out of the White House and got onto Marine One under his own power. Which doesn't really mean much with regard to his health status today. But still, worth noting I think.
