The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Illness is not something the wretch would feign.
It is a shame he had medical care well beyond most people's reach.

(296,098 posts)I have my doubts. I always thought he'd feign it and use that as an excuse to withdraw.
Now I think he'll use it to leave the WH before the inauguration of Biden
The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)Feigning illness presents him as weak.
Not even recovery erases that.

(59,521 posts)he said he did, and he had it at the debate with Biden. And THAT would be why he made sure to maximize the volume of his mouth gas in that debate room: an intentional plan to infect Joe.
The idea that he tested positive and then was cured within 5 days is absurd.
I believe he faked it to get sympathy after his poor performance at the first debate. He and I are the same age and I know I could not be running around like he has been since his stay at Walter Reed. My doctor told me that the drugs his doctors said he has taken are given only when you are in bed and as a last resort.

(18,060 posts)if he faked it trying to get the sympathy vote, then it backfired badly, if he really had it, so what?
200,000+ deaths because of this shitbag in office, I couldn't care less if he had COVID.

(16,385 posts)I dont believe he faked it because he would never admit willingly to being so weak as to have to go to the hospital. Plus, of all the employees at Walter Reed, it would have gotten out if he was faking it. The reason he seemingly recovered so quickly is that he got treatment that you or I would never get.

(37,848 posts)The trip to Walter-Reed and the goat rodeo were cover for a seriously ill Moscow Mitch.
Of course, I have no way of backing this up. But, like all speculation it needs it's day in the sun.

(296,098 posts)It did him no political good to fake it.

(296,098 posts)He appears to have way too many preconditions for a mild Covid. That and the planned Superman suit are the two things that have made me suspicious

(34,914 posts)I also believe he has been drugged up to his gills since leaving the hospital, in order to cover it up, and to suppress the worst of the symptoms. I considered that he may have had some other health issue, rather than COVID-19, but he's still hacking and gasping and huffing and puffing from respiratory issues. He can't even make it up the steps of Air Force One. They've been going with a 757, and he has been exiting from the belly of the plane on many occasions.

brooklynite
(96,882 posts)Because it's not a question of "Trump lies"; its a question of how many aides, Doctors, etc. are going to lie along with him.
moondust
(21,286 posts)He's all about his alpha male/Mussolini/Superman image
and getting COVID like the average Joe could be perceived as weakness. Seems unlikely he would fake it for that reason.
wishstar
(5,829 posts)He was put on the meds and some oxygen much earlier than average person which accounts for his recovery. But he absolutely could not have stopped or even tapered off the strong steroids after usual 10 day course when it was imperative that his condition be propped up and symptoms suppressed at least through election day.
