Selfish idiot. No other way to describe it.

Quarantine Trump. 214,000 dead Americans, 7,700,000+ sick from Covid45, Trump's economy continuing to hurt millions of Americans, a country more divided than any time in modern history along class and race lines.

Honestly, it's still hard to believe this man could be the President of a local stamp collecting club, let alone the United States. It's sad.
Whilst he has COVID19, and 58,000 new cases appear in the US today, he says it is disappearing. He will literally say anything, it doesn't really matter to him. He has contempt for his country and the people in it, it's all over him.

He's going out like Adolf Hitler - in the bunker pumped full of drugs.

I like that smirk of his. Is like giving the finger to the virus and the democrats that they have nothing on him.
The spanish flu killed more anyway. We humanity will prevail as we always had.
Goodlucktoyou
He has real fighting spirit and unfortunately will win. Even if he doesn’t win in the ballots, he won’t give up the presidency.

Aah, Il Duce reincarnated right down to the speech on the balcony! The U.S. is suffering not only from the 'Rona but also Trumpism, both lethal.

I can hear the voices of American children in the future asking their parents: "What in the heck were you thinking back then?"

Irresponsible and criminal!!!

How sad the media commentary around Trump contracting Covid. Little sympathy, virtually hoping for His death.
Politics aside, we ought to be sympatic when someone gets sick and glad when they recover no matter who they are.

Trump 2020!

At least Biden doesn't promote injecting Mr. Clean to treat CV. But the Michigan Militias will fight for Trump and protect the WH in case Trump loses, so he will never leave

Examples?

Yes, how dare he defy an overhyped media scare leftist scare tactic! How dare the President say, we can't let this virus dictate our lives, how dare the President overcome this virus and how dare the President shows no fear of it and how dare this President takes off his mask in defiance to breath the fresh air we are all destined to breath and how dare the President give others the confidence they don't have to be afraid of this virus and listen to the doom and gloom of the haters! Yes, how dare he give hope and how dare he recover so fast, how dare this man! Impeach this guy for Christ's sake already!!
Ah_so
Who cares about yesterday's man?
He had his chance, he was a disaster.

“How dare he.....” You missed one Bass:
He is standing there because the research for his wonder drug used tissue from an aborted fetus. Nah, you’re all cool with that?
I thought you might be.

Luckily, with each passing day the Presidents condition continues to improve and he probably won't be contagious anymore in a few days.

Trump is pro-Trump. Pro-life? Not if he can personally benefit.
Toasted Heretic
Meanwhile, it's business as usual. Superspreading and acting the bargain basement Mussolini.
Bob Fosse
Maybe he should hold off on repealing Roe vs Wade for now. That Hydroxy stockpile will be useful when the next malaria pandemic sweeps across the world. In the meantime it seems abortion saves lives.

Well, Concerned Citizen, why don't we delve into this a little more? Trump mocking Gold Star families who had lost a son, which I think you would agree, is a step further than being unwell. Trump calling fallen soldiers "suckers" and "losers". Trump mocking a disabled reporter. Trump sexually assaulting women and calling them degrading names. Trump and his sh**house (black population) countries. Trump who cares for no one but himself and his family and Putin. No mention today of the 211,000 people who have died of coronavirus under his watch - although he did say that the US was way ahead of everyone else. In deaths I guess he meant.
So forgive me if there has not been an outpouring of grief and prayers from me when he fell ill, while in the process of infecting some 30 other people.

Candace Owens led this rally at the White House with President Trump.
She is awesome and President Trump is awesome because they care about the people the political left has been abusing for decades.
Conservative commentator and activist Candance Owens led a peaceful Back the Blue rally in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. The author of Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation is encouraging minorities to leave the Democratic Party and support President Trump. Owens and her supporters traveled to the White House where President Trump addressed the crowd in his first public event since contracting the Wuhan coronavirus. "There is not a time that Black Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Brazilian Americans need to find their voice more," Owens told the large crowd. "I know it can be scary. I know what it's like when you look at your own friends and your own family and people that you've grown up with and they tell you that you're crazy and that you're a racist but ... if the left wins, we are not going to recognize this country anymore.""They are looking to foster race hate. When they see a crowd like this, this makes them nervous," said Owens.

Trump doesn't do sympathy, nor empathy. He doesn't apologize, or admit any wrongdoing.
He sees such things as weaknesses.
Surely we should be more like the dear leader?
Toasted Heretic
Spanish flu is a misnomer. It was American.
Jimizo
Looks like it. I’m surprised at the lack of outrage from the pro-life posters here. This is scandalous behaviour.

The bombastic current occupant of the White House conducted another “pandemic super spreader” on Saturday (10th). And he continues to threaten more super spreaders in the next weeks.
This fraud continues with amoral and unethical approach to garner enough votes in November to continue occupying the presidency for another four years.
The attitude of: “Damn the pandemic, full speed ahead with the reelection campaign” is, not only unhealthy for the attendees, but also mind boggling.
He was elected once, shame on him. If he is elected again, shame on We The People of The United States of America.
Jimizo
Most New Yorkers don’t vote for him, in fact he got hammered there in 2016.
I think it is an insult to the people of New York to regard Trump as representative of them. Do they lie all the time, retweet racists, call people schoolyard nicknames and steal from charities?
I think you owe them an apology.
bass4funk
Yes, we know this, but still he's a New Yorker and as a typical NY they have very high pride, but it did serve him well in Texas.
I don't think so, I have family in NY and they are a headstrong people and that's not a bad thing, I'm from California, most of us are more lay back kind of people.
We don't know, put them in the WH and we shall see.
I think Trump and people need to be unapologetic, not a bad thing at all.

Likely still infectious, in violation of CDC guidelines, will not reveal the status of his tests,
Hosting a super-spreader event (while closing the surrounding streets so that he doesn’t get drowned-out in boos) for no other reason than a desperate need to be adulated. He’s just fine with exposing others to suffering or death He probably gets a thrill from it
But whatever you do, don’t make references to Typhoid Mary it SSIC, even though he’s referee to as such in the news
The depths of his narcissism are only exceeded by the breadth of his supporters’ delusion.
Trump has never exceeded 50% favorable, has never lead Biden in a high-quality poll - not once, is behind in every single battleground state and the gap is growing.
2020hindsights
It seems that his supporters are now mostly wearing masks, so that is one good result of him getting Covid. Unfortunately for Trump, this will probably mean that Covid is the focus before the election, so that won't do his chances good. Biden is looking closer to a landslide than ever now.
What is unsettling is that the White House is refusing to say when Trump's last negative test was before he tested positive. This probably means that he hasn't been getting tested.

lol the looked so feeble and weak

At the rally at the White House not too many hours ago.
President Trump touted his progress for Black and Latino Americans by highlighting the lowest ever unemployment rates among those communities by reiterating his #PlatinumPlan which will deliver more opportunity, security, fairness, and prosperity to Black and Hispanic communities.
Randy Johnson
A quote from an attendee at the rally at the White House with President Trump as he pointed to the mix of people of all backgrounds and races, showing that it is emblematic of “what America is.”
“I mean if you look at this group of people that we have out here, we’ve got Asian people, Hispanic people, white people, black people, mixed people. We have mixed families. It’s everyone. because that’s what America is,” the attendee said, adding that law enforcement goes out and protects “everyone.”

Trump actually thinks people believe his fabrications - even his most ardent supporters know this is false...
Yesterday;
*COVID-19 shattered records for new cases **in the U.S. Midwest, straining hospitals...*
*A dozen Midwestern states together reported a record 16,807 new cases on Thursday, according to a Reuters analysis. The surge is most extreme in the northern Midwest, where weather is the coldest. Illinois reported its biggest increase since May 14 on Thursday.*
*The number of Midwest COVID-19 patients hospitalized hit a record high on Thursday for the fourth day in a row and now tops 8,000. Nationally, nearly 34,000 coronavirus patients are hospitalized, the highest since Sept. 4.*

Disappearing? That would describe Trump's already meager reelection hopes as he continues to be untruthful to the American people...

Less tha a month to his humiliation!! Got the champagne on ice
nishikat
Not sure about that. But I hope he does lose, and even if he does lose he will refuse to leave and the Michigan Militia will protect him from his eviction. If he does legitimately wins at least Biden will have the decency to accept loss, just like Hillary had this same decency. Trump and his people want to start a civil war. But maybe Trump and his people can create an entire new country? It would be like one giant Mississippi.
Sneezy
None of this happened.

WH blocked mask mandate for buses, trains, planes
(news source)
How on earth can this happen with the above happening? Even China is doing much better than the USA with CV under Trump's watch. Even proud NRA2ATrump people wear masks on the subways in japan.

In the second paragraph, "flaunted" should be "flouted".
