    Yamiche Alcindor is the PBS Newshour White House correspondent. The WH press pool has been passed this note from an anonymous source with access to the President's status:

    “The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery.”

    That unnamed source, btw, appears to be Mark Meadows who is on video asking to go 'off record' moments before the press pool went bananas.

    And now apparently the Senate is out until the 19th

    there's something intensely poetic about a group of people whose only guiding principle is selfishness all infecting each other with a potentially lethal illness because they can't be fucked to wear cloth masks when they're near other people, and they will have learned nothing from this no matter what

    this whole time they should've been killing just each other, but instead they had to also kill hundreds of thousands of people who didn't really do anything wrong, in the process making life even more precarious for millions more

    Oh I've seen people sharing pictures online of Mr. and Mrs. Trump wearing masks with captions of, "See? They wore masks and it didn't help! Masks are a lie!"

    Julie Pace is the Washington Bureau Chief for The Associated Press. The AP is saying that Trump was in fact administered supplemental oxygen at the White House before being transferred to Walter Reed.

    Here's video of Mark Meadows asking to go off the record with the White House press pool:

    how the fuck is "off the record" even a thing. if the president is in the process of becoming a victim of a plague he helped cause, that shit needs to be reported on and corroborated

    if you're a white collar grunt who's gone to the news with evidence that your bosses are doing illegal shit, under those circumstances you get to demand anonymity. you shouldn't have that option if you're the goddamn white house chief of staff

    Looking at the comments on that Tweet, there are apparently also a lot of people that believe that he was using a portable oxygen concentrator as he walked to the helicopter and that it was visible in the newscasts of the event.

    Bolded is 100% false and a dumb conspiracy that shouldn't be repeated.

    It is a true statement. A lot of people on Twitter are saying it.

    As for whether it is true, I imagine we’ll know eventually from leaks.

    No, we know it's false because we have the original pictures and footage from him leaving, drawing red arrows and circles on pictures doesn't make things real.

    The supplemental oxygen however is very likely.

    So the timeline on his treatment and their lack of official notice until after it leaked makes it pretty clear he intentionally went about his fundraising business fully aware he was infected which also they wouldn’t have done if they didn’t intend to try and keep it under wraps entirely.

    It really makes me wonder about the arriving too late to be tested debate story. Were they actually just dodging the independent test.

    Are yall implying he only admitted it when was symptomatic?

  • SimBenSimBen Hodor? Hodor Hodor.Registered User regular
    I find the version where Trump honestly didn't give a shit if he put anyone at risk and actively didn't believe it was possible for him to be infected and so didn't give a fuck about the debate test way more believable.

    Yeah sorry, I wasn't really trying to say it was valid, just that a lot of people seem to be into that and it surprised me. I hadn't seen it before the replies to that Tweet, and it was getting a decent amount of traction there. I've edited it out of my original post, should have been more clear.




    In other news, the spokesperson for Regeneron has clarified that the President did not in fact receive a polyclonal antibody treatment, and instead recieved two monoclonal treatments:

    No real harm on your part, just I think there should be a reminder to everyone, this is the perfect environment for conspiracy theories to be created and spread

    Basically all we have at this point is speculation

    shit is fuckin weird

    My guess, Trump was betting that he’d stay asymptomatic, and no one would ever know he had it. He didn’t care about collateral damage.
