I wouldn't bet Trump will die. That's not the kind of year we're having.

I would bet his condition is worse than they are letting on.

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.

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.

I think so too. Would be interesting to know his O2 saturation.

And the White House has picked masks as the hill to die on -- maybe literally. Still refusing to adopt a mandatory mask rule.

So, now he's going to the hospital. The thought about how this affects the vote seems more germane now. Remember how people flipped out over Hillary fainting?

This White House is like a soap opera. All the big things happen on Fridays.

It kind of makes you realize... at a certain level, the people around him actually believe their own bullsh-it.

It's a cult, even at the top levels.

They're still trying to win the election.

Maybe, but this looks like the early stages of covid 19 for Trump, so I would guess it will get worse before it gets better.

Not that it will matter to the base, my right wing friends on the walk today who are terrified of getting it and wear masks aren't phased at all, but for those paying minimal attention, the very fact that he's in utter fear of his life, checking himself into a medical facility puts him into a fork.

Either he's in dire condition, and thus covid is serious, or he's a little sissy. As he's told the world repeatedly, it's not a big deal; you might feel a little down and miss work a couple days. So here he is with just a little fever, and he's checking himself into a world-class facility and surrounding himself with doctors. He's cowering like a frightened kitten. A total hypocrite, who is afraid he's going to die of the virus he's downplayed for months.

Pretty sad. One of those right-wingers I see in the morning is an older gentleman, and quite a good guy I have to say, but he's Fox news all the way. He was putting his silly mask on with urgency this morning as clearly his worries are renewed.
