Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Baggers]

Nth Korea, Turkey, China, Putin,  might take some liberties over the next couple of weeks..

They're more likely to when Trump is in the Oval Office... they'd be sh1t scared now that someone who actually knows what they're doing (not Pence) might get to sit on the throne for a while!

Yep, once Trump blinked his threats became hollow, now they don't give a rats-arse about him!

It looks more and more like Donald is 'tanking' - and coming up with 'excuses' as to why he won't get re-elected.

This month we've had the idea of dodgy ballots, vaccines not being ready, and now his whole team is going to be fighting off a killer disease.

Either that, or perhaps the Republicans think the best approach atm is to stop him from talking to anyone for at least 2 weeks.....

Okay, I'm just adjusting my aluminium foil hat, yep, in place. Okay, the Orange Rodent embarrassed himself in the debate, his true financial situation is closer to being revealed - and it aint good, he's losing in the polls, Biden hasn't got dementia... yep, nightmare. Okay, how to get out of this mess... great! Get sick, resign from office for health reasons, prevent having to reveal taxes NOT paid, get a handsome pension and then hit the talk circuit for $50,000 per hour. Yep. Problems solved. Now, how to get the doctor to bullshizen for me... or how to bung it on... mmm...

Resign for health reasons and never actually get beaten at the ballot...
"If I hadn't got sick....."

Problem is the conspiracy gets wider as more and more folk at the Supreme Court nominee party actually get sick.
There's another twist there....a couple of those guys may be senators who will have to vote to confirm that nominee.

FMD, one minute the doctors are telling us they have put Trump on a cocktail of otherwise untested(in context of COVID) and aggressive drugs centred around powerful steroids, then Trump is out "spreading the word" that it was just the like Flu!

Because we all take a bunch of Off-Label use drugs when we get a cold, just to try something different! :o

FYI, "Off-Label" means using a drug in a regime that it isn't officially tested or approved for, in effect an experimental treatment!

The key to dealing with SARS-CoV-2 seems to be;
- First prevention, it's better than a cure.
- Second, early detection, the sooner they find an infection that sooner they can treat it!

These are both things Trump denies the US population, yet he seems to be a significant beneficiary of early detection!

Let's see how many US citizens, who contract C-19, get free or low cost access to the drugs that the Orange Rodent did.

This is going to be so interesting to see how it plays out. 

A few scenarios.

1.  Trump doesnt actually have COVID and this is just a ruse.

2.  He has COVID, and its not that bad and the world has been over reacting.

3.  He has COVID and its actually bad and he gets seriously ill irrespective of what happens with the election whether he wins or loses.

We wont find out for sure, for some time.

Scenario 1 doesn’t fly. If he wanted to do this, he could have just stayed in the White House as he did initially and then say he beat it easily b/c he’s an Aryan Superman. Why would he concede that it got to him badly enough to require oxygen, an airlift to a hospital, and then serious drug interventions? If this scenario were true, does this mean that all of his aides & the 3 GOP Senators who’ve tested positive after the ill-fated SCOTUS announcement were also faking it? And would such a ruse be worth his inability to attend rallies for some time despite early voting being underway already?

Scenario 2 is funny. I repeat the stuff about the airlift to hospital and emergency treatment with drugs. If it wasn’t that bad, surely that means Trump overreacted. After all, he was the one who called for the airlift & drug treatment. So I guess Trump’s a major snowflake. And if it wasn’t that bad, surely he would have authorised his personal osteopath to give out all the remarkable medical details which would have enabled the world to marvel at this modern medical miracle. Instead, Trump acted like Basil Fawlty - don’t mention the war, or the oxygen, or the details about the lungs, or how high the temperature was etc etc.

Funny thing is that Chris Cuomo continued to host his CNN show from his basement while seriously affected by Covid. He complained of trouble breathing and that he had ‘rigors’ (spasms causing teeth to chatter etc.) By comparison, what has Trump done apart from walk up some stairs & stand on a balcony? Tough guy my ar$e ...

By the way, I hope Kamala Harris’ advisers are preparing her for a Trump showstopper: getting Pence to blow past the Perspex dividers in order to approach her for a handshake. Yes, it’s clearly against the rules Pence agreed to, but Trump flouted rules he agreed to in the 1st debate. He arrived late so the hosts couldn’t test him as arranged and then assured them he tested negative at the White House (which now seems to be a lie). Then he his family walked in with masks on and then all took them off when they sat down, refusing to put them back on when approached by organisers.

Clearly, Trump would love to run ads featuring a horrified Harris backing away from a friendly Pence. That’s the sort of dominance display he wants. If I were her adviser, I’d make sure she can legally carry pepper spray to the podium and make sure she can spray him in the eyes as soon as he passes the divider. Seeing Pence writhe in pain on the ground would subvert the dominance display. It would also be a great juxtaposition with the shameful scenes of Trump’s militias using teargas to clear peaceful protestors so he could have a photo op while holding a Bible at a church.
