Good number if you're getting the results of an eye exam, but a terrible year. President and Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19. I pray for a speedy recovery for the both of them.
Statistically, I think the likelihood of something like this happening was always fairly high. But, as I hope Trump himself will point out, it may be ok to hide in your basement if you're merely running for president; when you are the president, you have to be up and out and about and those are just the chances you take.
Update Gregory spots this over at Breitbart: "President Trump will beat coronavirus like it's a Democrat."
Update II Lots of hate directed at Trump today with the announcement he has COVID-19 - and not just from the leftist fringe (although, as I've pointed out before with respect to the Left, the fringe makes up most of the carpet). I'm not going to link any of that poison, just going to say that large numbers of Americans are in dire need of moral reeducation.
A horde of social media ghouls are celebrating, and some in the media are speculating/demanding to know if the 25th Amendment has been invoked, and MSDNC even what so far as to ask Nancy Pelosi if the White House has contacted her about her transitioning the Presidency. I shit you not.
ReplyDelete2020 is only going to get crazier from here.
... when you are the president, you have to be up and out and about and those are just the chances you take.
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats don't see it that way, and blame his "complete disregard for public health" for his diagnosis - at least those who don't think he's faking it to get out of debating Biden and postponing the election.
The Democrats (and their kissing cousins, the NeverTrump fake conservatives) can help themselves to some pineapple suppository for all I care.
ReplyDelete"suppositories"
ReplyDeleteI was thinking "swordfish suppositories", but pineapples might be more effective.
ReplyDeleteIt's a VIRUS and related (however distantly) to the common cold.
ReplyDeleteSooner or later, EVERYONE is going to test positive for COVID-19. Including me. I merely refuse to engage in the hysteria that drama queens enjoy, and I continue to live my life ... ... even if the idiot governor of my state sees it as an opportunity to indulge his inner fascist.
And I don't wish anyone gets infected. In certain demographics, COVID-19 can aggravate existing conditions, and lead to death. Celebrating that ANYONE has tested posted for COVID-19 is the moral equivalent of telling them to die in a fire.
And that would be vile. Which, in the case of donks and their minions, would be a given.
I prefer hand grenade suppositories.
ReplyDeleteI think it's been said by many before me, but the NeverTrumps' "Lincoln Project" should be called the "Boothe Project".
ReplyDeleteWhenever those pompous RINOs are mentioned, I'm compelled to point out that one of their founders, Rick Wilson, was the anti-Trump "Republican" pundit who was pranked by 4Chan's /pol/ board with the "Moscow Ritz Golden Showers Party" "fanfic" hoax that became the centerpiece of the Steele Dossier™. 4Chan "anons" claim he passed it on to John McCain, who supposedly passed it on John Brennan at the CIA, but I'd really love to hear someone like Tucker Carlson ask him directly what he did with it, and why he fell for it.
What are you saying, Jeff? You don't believe the Left's "scientific fact" that a COVID diagnosis equals "death, just wait 2 weeks"?
ReplyDeleteBLASPHEMY!
I can't believe you guys actually think President Trump really has been infected, and you don't believe that he's lying about the whole thing because he's afraid he's gonna lose the election!
ReplyDeleteMicheal Moore says that's what's going on, so it has to be true.
About Tuesday or Wednesday he'll say, "we started taking HCQ++ Thursday night and we just tested negative".
ReplyDeleteUnless I get sick, I have no intention of being tested for it. What would be the point? As for the Trumps, I hope and pray they will be well, and I think they will. A positive test is not the same thing as being sick, something a lot of people either don't understand or don't want to. I tried to explain that to some crusty old bird in a boonie hat who came running out while I was walking the dog to ask me if I'd heard the Trumps "have coronavirus". He was all grins and giggles and I think he actually expected me to be happy about it. Scuzzy old fart, I was glad to disappoint him.
ReplyDeletePresident Trump will be fine.
ReplyDeleteHe has, or recently has had, a cold.
Covid-19 is of the same family of viruses as the cold.
The testing for Covid-19 is faulty and will often mistake traces of the common cold for Covid-19, by design I suspect.
It's all a scamdemic.
Seen on Breitbart:
ReplyDeletePresident Trump will beat coronavirus like it's a Democrat.
I'll drink to that!
Mike_W,
ReplyDeleteby design I suspect
The PCR test is so sensitive, and so many cycles are currently used to get a positive result (40+, which European health agencies have recently stated is a startlingly high number), it should not be surprising that it could get a positive result from a related coronavirus.
