Much as I want to savor the schadenfreude, I can’t help but suspect that this is a scheme to let Trump exit a race he knows he’s going to lose badly. Maybe they think they can postpone the election. Or maybe they think a Pence/Haley ticket would be more competitive, even at the eleventh hour. It all remains to be seen.
In any case, I hope they find a way to prevent that sonofabitch from lying in state if he really does have COVID.

I am extremely skeptical that any of them have it. Trump bombed so badly in the debate that even my 85 year old mother who voted for him in 2016 and thinks Melania is wonderful was appalled at his behavior. On top of that, Trump’s former campaign manager beats his wife, brandishes a gun, and threatens the cops. On top of that, this tape appears with Melania the sweet stating how bothered she is by having to do f***ing Christmas.
So, the easy out is “We’re sick!” Keeps them under wraps until the GOP leadership can figure out how to spin this, makes attacks less likely (how can you go after sick people, you swine!), and god knows what else is going on behind the scenes.
In short, until proven otherwise, I am not buying it.

I for one hope Trump has to be ventilated like Boris Johnson did. I don’t want him to die, I just want him to have to feel what 200,000+ had to face, maybe he’ll learn some humanity. PJ will probably come on here and concern troll me for saying that.

A *presidency built on a mountain of lies results in at least half the country thinking this may well be a hoax. He’s getting killed in the polls. His appalling debate performance shook the GOP. His inability to decry white supremacists plays poorly to all but hardcore racists.

Another theory I saw is that this is a ploy to hide Trump’s cognitive decline. Either way, I don’t know that it will help him–but I am preparing for the “how dare you criticize our president when he is fighting for his life” takes. This is a guy who knowingly exposed hundreds of people to the virus. They knew Hicks was positive and he still went to a fundraiser. Also, the Trump family refused to wear masks at the debate even though Ohio requires masks inside.

Late in yesterday’s thread somehow IVF came up. This is a familiar topic with my family. In July my daughter-in-law had eggs retrieved (all of which were frozen), and coming up later this month they are transferring the first fertilized egg. They have several. It’s a very tough thing to go through and certainly not for sissies. Please send positive vibes our way that this produces a baby in 9 months or so. They had their daughter through IUI. Other attempts at IUI resulted in one miscarriage and several unsuccessful results. As someone who got pregnant very easily (two live births, two miscarriages), this has introduced to me a whole new vocabulary and appreciation for what infertile couples go through.

My husband is at Uncle J’s and it’s a horrific scene. Uncle J is in terrible pain, doesn’t know what is going on, keeps trying to get out of bed. They are giving him morphine for the pain and that mercifully knocks him out. When the morphine wears off he howls in pain. They have a hospital bed for him and they have the sides up to help keep him from climbing out. Someone is always by his bedside to try to calm him down and keep him safe. It’s a horrendous situation. They have 4 cargivers there at all times now and a registered nurse comes in and out. His having Alzheimer’s and not understanding his situation has made this exponentially worse. He doesn’t ever want to be in an institution, he made that very clear earlier on in his disease and they’re doing everything they can to honor that. So sad.

I disagree Suzanne, at first I thought it could be a distraction but now I think not. Trump has been trying to keep Covid out of the news for months, now that’s impossible. This whole scenario makes him look even more irresponsible and unable to protect us, it’s obvious he can’t even protect himself. The fact that he’s got to be in the hospital must be anathema for him. I thought he looked bad in the short video they made of him addressing the country about his health situation, it was uncommonly brief, he usually likes to shoot his mouth off. If it’s true that he’s a germophobe he must be terrified. Summoning the strength to walk to the helicopter and then off of it probably took all of his acting skills, he was dressed in a suit and tie and his hair was coifed so that took an effort by him and his handlers. Why did they transport him by air? We probably won’t see anymore photos of him for a while.
