So Trump, who promised he'd tear down the US 'establishment' has been successful pushing US systems to their tipping points. GoTrumpers (US and 'foreign') must feel good knowing their support enabled Trump to make the US weaker both domestically and internationally. Xi, Putin and Erdogan must also feel good. I wonder whether they'll give their respective troll armies bonuses.

Conley is a US Navy doctor treating the CINC. I don't trust a word of what he says to the press as to Trump's actual condition. National Security and all that you know...
Nobody goes from "I tested positive" to hospitalization and treatment with drugs still being tested in just 24 hours.

OssanAmerica, Trump probably suffered lung damage, scarring of the lung is secondary medical condition of Vivid they probably got this from Trump CT scan of his lung, Trump will be in the hospital weeks, not days

Doesn't look like it and besides, if Democrats take it over, it will tank in the first quarter and investors know it would, another reason why to buy gold.

uncertainty about President Donald Trump's willingness to accept the election outcome.
More worrisome is the Democrats' unwillingness to accept the election outcome. We've got the 2016 Dem nominee, Hillary Rodham Clinton, openly saying Harris-Biden should not accept the result if they lose.
With any luck, we’ll be rid of Trump and the republicans
You're going to be so disappointed. Even with fraudulent mass mail-in ballots, it's a going to be a Trump-Pence landslide, and the Republicans will take back the House because Americans don't want 80 year old nutcase Nancy Pelosi to be 2nd in line to the presidency any longer.

And let's not forget about Bill Clinton's expansion.

It's all very North Korea, or one of those other countries where the electorate are bombarded with propaganda that everything's fine, the leader is in great health and the rest of the world is completely wrong...

Here is what a loyal Trump supporter had to say:
Sean Patterson is not worried that Donald Trump has been hospitalized with coronavirus because he believes what the president tells him.
“It’s a hoax. There’s no pandemic. As Trump said, how many millions die of flu?” said the 56-year-old truck driver outside the early voting station in St Joseph, Missouri – a stronghold for the president.
But then Patterson pauses and contemplates the possibility that Trump really does have Covid-19.
“If he’s sick, then they planted it when they tested him. It’s what they did to me when I went to hospital for my heart beating too fast. Two weeks later I got a cold,” he said. “It’s political. I don’t trust the US government at all. Who are they to mandate personal safety? I listen to Trump.”
I won't comment further. It speaks for itself.

The doctors are positive about it, that's a great indicator. Even the liberal media has to sadly give the facts and they are the same as the doctors.
Almost all positive and this is from their very mouths, Chris Christie on the other hand is a bit different.

The campaign is over - done - finished...
Trump held a super-spreader event that so far has infected 14 people - and put at risk all three branches of our government...
He showed he isn't capable of even protecting his family or close associates - how could he even begin to protect the American people...
The virus is the No. 1 voting issue for Americans - and this preventable mass infection shows that Trump can't protect those he cares about most from a disease he admitted was "a killer" "deadly", and "like the plague"...
He ought to pack it in now and save some of his campaign money for the fines he will surely get for both the bank/tax fraud and illegal payoff indictments that are coming...

There is no time to waste in this unprecedented event.
This is the time for the Democrat and the GOP to switch to their plan B and also prepare for pan C and D.

Yeah, especially if more instances like this happens:
"West Virginia mail carrier guilty of election fraud after altering ballot requests to Republican"

Oh my!

4 years ago libs said the same thing.
Strangerland
And 4 years ago they were speaking of the popular vote. They were correct about that, but screwed up in not calculating the winner based on likely electoral college votes.
This time they are. And Trump only has a 1/5 chance of taking enough electoral college polls.
The Avenger
10 doctors show up - why? How comforting to the hundreds of thousands who can't even get a Covid test let alone know if they will have any insurance to pay for their care if they are sick. This is the picture of what is wrong with America.

A helicopter ride and intensive care.
Amazing what $750 can get you.

No matter if you like or hate Trump, I think everyone agrees this is a crazy year. If this was a Hollywood script it would be rejected because it is so over the top.

They will of course happen, but the mainstream media will bury them.
