Trump is going to spend the weekend
at the presidential suite at Walter Reed.
They have an apartment and offices
there built specifically for the president.
It's pretty mandatory for a sick president
to do this.


Yup, right where you go when you're, as you say, "healthy as a horse".

He would go there no matter what.
That's why it was built. Best medical
facility in the world. A president needs
to be monitored 24/7.

So of all of these politicians who have gotten the virus - how many of them were talking precautions such as masks and social distancing, and how many were not?

If there’s one thing Donny doesn’t want to do, it’s appear weak.

Hiding in a hospital for several days does not project strength.

But the virus is a hoax. Why is he going to the hospital???

It does surprise me, but only a little, that they are taking him to the hospital. They do want to take the most percautions, after all.

On the other hand, if symptoms are so mild, for most people they just say stay home and keep an eye out for x, y, or z symptoms.

It also doesn't surprise me in the least that they downplay his condition, whatever it actually happens to be.

I didn't see if Melania was going to be hospitalized, too.

She's not the president. It's protocol,
he would go no matter what. That's
why they built the facility for the
president in the 50's, the best 24/7
care in the world. He has a fully
equipped office there and a suite
of private rooms. You act like he's
going into ICU.

You know it’s bad if he’s skipping his golf outings this weekend...

I really feel sorry for Trump
This is how it starts for people that end up on ventilators
You start getting sick right away after you catch the virus
If I was Trump, I would be scared
There really is no proven treatment
You help the patient simply deal with the symptoms hoping the body does its job to fight the virus
He could easily become a long hauler dealing with this for a long time
