October Surprise No. 1 has arrived. – President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both tested positive for the China Virus on Thursday, after communications guru Hope Hicks had herself come up with a positive test earlier in the day. Leftists across Twitter and other social media sites immediately jumped in to spew vitriolic hopes of the First Couple dying from the disease, because of course they did. What else would you expect?
I won’t publish any of those despicable tweets and posts, but I will share a positive one with you. This is from MSNBC conspiracy monger Rachel Maddow:
That’s pretty classy for a fake news hostess who has spent pretty much every day the last five years spreading the most repugnant, false claims about this President, and often, his wife.
Meanwhile, over at CNN, sleazy fake journalist Dana Bash expressed her political party’s most fervent hopes:
Think about it: this would be a leftist baby-killer’s wet dream. Should Amy Coney Barrett have to quarantine, then what about Mitch McConnell and other members of the Senate who have met with the Supreme Court nominee this week? With Senate Judiciary Committee hearings to begin on October 12, a two-week quarantine would push the process back at least three days, moving the conclusion to the process ever closer to Election Day, wouldn’t it?
At least, that’s the reasoning of Democrats and the corrupt news media.
For their own part, McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham could voluntarily self-quarantine, and, given the fact that pretty much no Democrat members have agreed to even meet with the nominee, use this as a compelling reason to cancel committee hearings entirely related to this nomination. Go straight to a floor vote and deny the Democrats their much-desired committee hearing circus.
Such a move would not change one vote related to the elections, but it would ensure a constitutionalist majority on the court for years to come.
Back at the campaign… – Obviously, another aspect of this that has the left in and out of the corrupt media tingling with glee this morning is that the positive test for the President would put a real cramp in Mr. Trump’s style for the next two weeks.
But does it really? My theory is that the President could send out a call for a rally at a hangar at any random airport in the nation, where people would show up to cheer as they watch him speak on huge video screens, and draw thousands upon thousands of supporters. The rally would be essentially the same, but the novelty of the method would inevitably create massive local news coverage of the event, which is one of the main goals for these rallies.
And if Democrats and the media object, you can just call them “peaceful protests” and any arguments about social distancing or masks would be rendered automatically moot.
More Strategery… – Also, from a strategic standpoint and from the standpoint of what is best for the conduct of his job, the President should reserve time on all the networks at some point today or tonight to deliver a message of reassurance to the country and the financial markets, which are showing signs of having a semi-meltdown this morning. Frankly, the earlier the better on this one.
In light of this diagnosis, people need to see the President’s face, to hear is voice, and to be reassured he remains functioning and in charge. The markets have been by and large expecting a second term for the Trump presidency and a continuation of his economic policies. Investors and traders need to be reassured that this health scare isn’t going to shift the dynamics of the campaign.
The Trumps’ health is paramount. – As of this writing very early on October 2, the White House is reporting that the President is currently asymptomatic, possibly due in some part to his use of hydroxychloroquine as a shield. But he is 74 years old and thus in the high-risk category for the worst features of this Chinese plague. The First Lady is much younger and thus at much lower risk of suffering from the most difficult aspects of the virus.
As Maddow notes above, for anyone over the age of 60 or so, this virus is a very dangerous and cruel affliction. Just because the President is asymptomatic today does not mean he will remain so. He does enjoy the advantages of the finest doctors and health experts the world knows today, but this plague does not necessarily heed to the will or expertise of any man.
We should all pray fervently for the President’s and First Lady’s health, safety and full recovery.
That is all.
NO IMAGE!
That’s pretty classy for a fake news hostess
Regards,
Sounds like hE will drug up for recovery if he hasn’t already. I am willing to believe he already has.
Did they play the tapes of Melania last night on CNN? Would that be surprise #2?
This is what she said:
“God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.”
In private, Pelosi and Schumer and Schiff and Nadler, are raising their champagne glasses and wishing the worst to the president.
Can’t get him the many ways they tried, why not with coronavirus?
I don’t remember the Presidents exact words but he did say he might have to disappear for a while.
It’s a damn chest cold with a 99.7% survival rate. Approximately a 96.4% survival rate for the elderly. Deadly to those with UNDERLYING CONDITIONS and CO-MORBIDITIES. A large number of supposedly “healthy” people who die of it (or with it) were not AWARE of their underlying conditions or co-morbidities. Those conditions often aren’t even diagnosed until the autopsy.
“Getting its spread under control” means forcing us to wear masks forever. Forbidding gatherings of any kind forever. Forcing mandatory vaccinations on every American citizen — no more ability to choose.
Anyone remember “two weeks to flatten the curve”?
Praying for the President and Malania, but don’t lose heart. They will likely get over it quickly. You can bet they getting the HCQ/zinc cocktail.
Argentina has shown that ibuprofen works pretty well too. HCQ reduces swelling and fever, so does ibuprofen.
Biden might have it too. No updates on Biden’s Twitter for almost 12 hours.
If Trump dies, then they will give us 6 months to a year of extra restrictions, just to make sure that we hate Trump and love the opposition.
Chances are Biden is drugging up just in case. He was in the same room as Trump after all.
Also, given how unreliable the tests are, they might not even have WuFlu, although I would suspect they are being tested several times, not just once like the rest of us.
OH NO! And they only have a 99.9% chance of recovery! /s
Biden looked like death yesterday on video for the Al Smith dinner.
He should not be flying around in an airplane with other people like Hicks who may or may not have the virus. Nobody in their right mind wants to fly today.
This stuff is in aerosols that you expel every time you exhale. The only mask that blocks these aerosols to any significant extent is an N-95. Trumps is hours in his plane breathing re-circulated air that has some fresh air exchange but not enough.
He’s been risking this for weeks. He is in a category that makes him particularly vulnerable to bad outcomes and serious illness—he’s obese and he’s 74 years old. Is he being treated for hypertension as well? This is not good. And he’s just handed Biden the presidency.
Biden might have it too.
Oh good. No debate.
He’ll be quaranteened 10 days. The infectious period is the first couple days. By Day 6 you’re pretty much not infectious.
I think he’ll come out of this actually better polls wise.
