“[There was] no contact from the Trump campaign or the White House to alert the Biden campaign of possible exposure.”
—PBS White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, on the Trump campaign’s failure to alert Joe Biden of his possible exposure to the coronavirus after Trump’s positive diagnosis. [And just what makes anyone believe Trump’s campaign would ever exhibit that much decency and consideration?]
“According to CNN and MSNBC, the Trump camp didn’t contact Biden’s campaign about possible exposure to COVID. At some point, the incompetence and the cruelty are indistinguishable.”
—Tweet by The Rude Pundit.
“How do you catch a hoax?”
—Tweet by Anand Giridharadas, Oct. 2, 2020.
“We cannot go back to work in the Senate unless everyone who has had any exposure to the White House over the last two weeks is tested.”
—Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn., in interview on MSNBC on Friday.
“It was extraordinarily stupid to hold the event that way. It reflects the recklessness with which this White House has been operating.”
—Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, on last Saturday’s event in the White House Rose Garden at which Trump introduced Amy Coney Barrett as his Supreme Court nominee. [Six attendees, including Trump, have tested positive for COVID in the week following.]
“The stories that he is in bad health are understandable enough around election time, but they are not true.”
—White House lead physician, in October 1944. President Franklin Roosevelt died six months later, in April 1945, only three months into his fourth term. […and then there’s that unannounced trip to Walter Reed Hospital in November 2019 by Trump, a visit he brushed off as a midnight physical.]
“[T]he President is getting cutting-edge therapies, paid for by our tax dollars, that none of us can get because the President, who paid nothing in taxes for 10 years, has willfully downplayed the virus and who is trying to kick people off their health insurance.”

Karma is a bitch.

The POTUS doesn’t often pay annual income taxes, but when he does he pays $750. Remdesivir is priced at more than $3,100 for a course of treatment and that is one of the treatments he is allegedly getting at Walter Reed. Now, who said he isn’t a brilliant businessman.? His net ROI for this treatment alone is 313%. I wish I had his business acumen.
P. S. Apparently, the official White House policy on his COVID19 is: Keep everything a secret for a while to build suspense (reality TV, don’t you know, ratings, etc.), then lie. So, as always, the chances we mullets will get the straight facts about this or anything else are nil.
Is tRump’s contraction of COVID-19 fate or the result of an inevitable consequence from ignoring the dangers of the virus? Will it necessarily follow that his lifelong failure as a human being, lies and deceptions, tax evasion, bullying, cheating contractors, and narcissistic sociopathic disorder also catch up to him? I certainly hope so.
My new nickname for DJT will be “Covid45.” It also reminds me of the horrible beverage I drank when much younger simply because of its alcohol content – ah, the idiocies of youth.
I am about to give up on the 10:00 press briefing on Covid45’s condition. I don’t expect it will involve the truth, anyhow. It’s almost 10:30 so I guess they are working on the lies du jour.
What did any of you learn from this “briefing?” Why do the talking heads find it necessary to analyze it? As Covid45 might say, “It is what it is” – unless, of course it isn’t.
