They aren’t getting the message …
They just move to make excuses to keep doubting the usage of masks and social distancing…
To them?
Donald J. Trump IS the second coming…
Not some overweight , racist, egomaniac, lying , ex-Real Estate guy from Queens, NYC….Who runs with crooks, and might be broke….
The president’s diagnosis, announced early Friday morning, prompted some changes, like White House staffers suddenly wearing masks and the Trump campaign turning some events into virtual ones. As a rush of senators tested positive, the Republican-led Senate canceled its votes for the next two weeks.
But there was no sweeping transformation in the way many of the president’s most devoted supporters view the virus — and no sense of urgency to alter their behavior to better protect themselves. The president’s many arguments about the coronavirus — that it was mild for all but those with preexisting conditions, that it was overblown by Democrats, that it would fade away on its own — seemed to inoculate many in the Trump camp against rethinking their approach to the virus.
On Saturday, several Republican lawmakers continued to question the effectiveness of masks — which even Trump administration health officials view as essential — and need for mask mandates, including Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who tested positive for the virus. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R), whose state has faced an explosion of cases in recent weeks, appeared maskless at an indoor Sioux City event on the Trump bus tour.
Meanwhile, Sen. Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) opted to not get tested despite attending a meeting with an infected person, and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) pointed to Trump’s illness as reason for the country to continue to reopen schools and businesses….

“He’s pretty strong and . . . he’s got the best doctors you can get in the world, so I think he should be all right,” he said.
He still plans to vote for Trump on Nov. 3 — “if he’s still living,” he said jokingly, in a way that made clear he did not think the president could die of the coronavirus.
When Trump first announced his diagnosis in a tweet, some of his supporters didn’t want to believe their leader was capable of becoming sick. In pro-Trump Facebook groups, some wondered if the president’s test result was a false one, while others emphasized early reports that Trump’s symptoms were mild. Others circulated baseless conspiracy theories that they seemed to find more believable than the president falling ill.
Trump has long presented himself as invincible, and his supporters often describe his stamina and strength in terms otherwise reserved for Greek gods. Vendors outside his rallies sell T-shirts and banners depicting the president shirtless, ripped and muscled. Trump often brags about his health and genes, and he has gleefully mocked the health of his political rivals, ridiculing Joe Biden for taking precautions to protect himself against the coronavirus and imitating how Hillary Clinton collapsed while fighting pneumonia in 2016….

Gabriel Sherman reports that some Trump allies “are entertaining conspiracy theories that the White House outbreak was caused by someone with political motives.”
Said one prominent Republican: “It’s weird that all these Republicans are getting it. I don’t know what the fuck is going on. But one thing I’ve learned is: when something major happens thirty days before an election, it usually has to do with the election.”…

Apparently the steroid that Trumps doctor mentioned in the briefing today is usually given only in severe Covid cases.
Still he said Trump May leave the hospital tomorrow.
And I have a bridge for you. He’s in a high risk group, any overweight individual would be. This is a tragedy that the average citizen has to pay for. Think about the fact that Trump paid $750 in taxes and has already gotten hundred of thousands of dollars in health care over the last three days. This is the same man who is trying to take health care away from millions of people.
And the same knucklehead who was saying Biden isn’t ‘healthy’?🙄
Yes, “socialized medicine” to boot!
No co-pays, no deductibles, no out-of-pocket costs, no pre-existing condition or other exclusions.
Who says he didn’t come up with a better plan than Obamacare, in fact a perfect health plan ?!?!
