This has been super hard to follow. Are we assuming that Trump isn't doing that well? fI'm not sure what's going on.

Mark Meadows has simultaneously said Trump's condition is bad, but also that his condition is amazing. In case people forgot, Mark Meadows is like the 4th person to take the Chief of Staff position in this dumpster fire of an administration.

It's hard to follow because this administration can't keep a consistent story. The about face happened only after he was caught as the "source" who shared information off the record. He was the only member of the government that escorted Trump onto the helicopter too, so if he can't even keep shit straight, no wonder everyone is just posting corpses in a sort of game of "is this person alive or not?"

He gets tested daily, has access to experimental treatments and an entire hospital dedicated to his care. Of course he'll live. Just like the justice system, tax system and economic system in this country there's a different health care system for the rich and powerful.

I always thought the idea of nuclear deterrence was just everybody having a nuke and nobody wanting to use one for fear of a domino effect.

Not a "YOU MAKE A GODDAMN MOVE WE'LL FUCKING KILL EVERYBODY!" deterrence.

Well, the problem there is that the first move from the opposing side can be nuclear annihilation in 30 minutes, and every minute you wait to check and verify and confirm what's happening is another minute you might be coming closer to annihilation. So you have to be ready to respond in kind. Nuclear deterrence is fun!

And the US put that power in the hands of a reality TV star. :)

All of the messaging is that Trump is perfectly fine, doing backflips down the hallway and cracking open the works of Tolstoy.

So we don't really know but they are really going out of their way to say that everything we can't see is "tremendous".

So US advantage is basically dying 15 minutes later than Russia. World is truly a scary place.
well that was during the world war. these days, both countries are working on or already have a hypersonic nuke so it should be faster, sadly there is not a ton of info on that and really no way to stop them once launched.

it's obvious from his lack of tweeting only one month from election day that he has to be in very poor health

Don't forget the revelation a few years ago (by which I mean September) that we have some sort of secret delivery system. If such a thing happened today it would likely be over before we knew it began. Makes for great late night thoughts.

Amazing how he's calling all of these other people, but not Fox News that is speed dial one on his phone.

Or the fact that there's no video from the guy who's entire image is being strong. In an election that is in 31 days.

I don't doubt he lives. But they should probably start laying the groundwork for him not surviving.

It'll do two things: make it seem like divine intervention that he survived and ease the panic that they so fear if he does actually die after all the "he's doing great!" phone calls.

This adminstration? One of the sloppiest and leakiest in modern memory?

They could make it a whole lot more believable by just not ending the claims of good health by saying he's working or busy making calls etc.

Really makes it obvious.

Trump has never been in "great spirits" in his entire life. So, all these mouthpieces describing him as such rings about as true as someone describing molten lava as "cool and coozy."

I don't see how you could look at the events of the last week and say that. They're clearly not daily testing, they're not wearing masks, and they're not social distancing.

What's a test going to do for him now? Herman Cain was a millionaire, it didn't matter.
If he didn't get tested it would only be because of his own choice . I guarantee he could get tested every hour if he wanted to. My point is he will probably live because he has immediate access to a higher level of health care due to his wealth and status. I'm not saying he will live forever just because he's rich but his chances are a hell of a lot greater than the average 74 year old overweight man with high cholesterol.

He could be in a medically-induced coma and hooked up to ventilators. They were always going to say he's in great spirits. If he's doing so great, where's the video?

If he was in a medically induced coma and they tried to hide it you'd have to believe the military would find out and demand the VP take over due to national security reasons

That's really something you absolutely cannot hide

They could TRY, but I don't think it would take long to get out

Regardless of what happens they know what the optics would look like if Trump has to turn power over to Pence right before the election.

If Trump has to be out on a ventilator they're not going to admit it in real time.

Or, he does the usual Trump thing and post on Twitter. I mean, anyone can film him on a smartphone and just upload it. The most suspicious element isn't even blue checkmarks or fuckin' Mark Meadows saying his health is bad, it's that king shitposter who capitalizes on every news cycle imaginable...isn't.

The only other time he's been this quiet was when the Epstein story dropped.

The fact the he is allegedly tweeting, but there is no video of him whatsoever should tell you all you need to know.

If he was okay, there would be video.

It is much worse than they are letting on.
