he not only gets it, he gives it freely. My sympathies to the Secret Service and the non-political staff of OUR WHITE HOUSE. Hard to have any empathy toward someone like him. In fact, I do not.
He’s a dangerous sociopathic narcissist. Giving him even the semblance of power would be a serious mistake, and “we” gave him the real thing. For GAWDSAKE vote the bastards out on the 3rd (or sooner, if you can vote in advance).
It’s just like his photo op watching the eclipse, as soon as the eclipse was over, he took off the eclipse viewing glasses and looked up at the sun, probably trying to prove that science can’t tell him what to do.
He should have been left with one of his hand picked doctors, like Dr. Atlas or Dr. Stella Immanuel. If he’s using them to tell the American public that masks don’t help and hydroxy chloroquine is a cure, then he should have been treated by them…
He COULD have understood it in JANUARY, and prevented a lot of those 210,000+ American deaths (recently estimated as probably closer to 275,000). You know, like any sane person following the science instead of his own ego…
Truth be told, at this stage of the illness masks probably are that are not involved in providing additional oxygen are probably uncomfortable for him, though he should not expose others. If you look at the video he is mouth gulping air (something he also was doing after exiting the helicopter when he arrived for the Bedminster event so I still can not figure out why someone there did not immediately use a pulse oximeter on him) and it was obvious before and during his short comments arriving at the WH that he felt a deep need to try to fill his lungs but that doing so was very painful for him. Heck, it is even painful to just watch, even for those of us who dislike the man. For a man in his shape he is going to be at risk of crashing again through about day 12 after onset, with the second half of that the most risky. Now, the WH has a state of the art clinic but it is not a hospital, so this choice is not a well considered one, probably more of a gut one.
Imagine you are a Secret Service agent on presidential bodyguard duty. Each day you wake up and say “Damn it!” (or something saltier) I have one asterisk and it’s got to be for this perambulating boneless pork roast?"
We must take back the Senate as well. McConnell and Graham and their minions are as dangerous as Drumpf. First order of business: abolish the electoral college.
He may have convinced himself that if he’s feeling a little better, improvement can only continue… and with increasing rapidity, but…
1) That is not a “given”. In fact, many covid-19 sufferers have gotten worse again after an initial improvement. Some have even died.
2) Considering the amount of medication, oxygen, etc. that he’s been given, it’s arrogant foolishness to claim that his body has defeated it… even if it were true that it’s “defeated”.
3) Since he’s still being given medication, it’s obvious that the doctors don’t believe that he’s “over” it. And the fact that he’s “allowing” (I might even suspect “insisting”) that the medication continue suggests that even he knows he’s not over it… at least not yet.
4) He’s said — on returning to the White House — that he now feels better than he did 20 years ago. Has anybody checked to see whether there was a time 20 years ago when he was seriously ill or injured or whether there might be some other reason that he would have been feeling especially poorly in that time period?

Actually, to his way of thinking, the mask was no longer useful – since he’d already contracted the disease.
