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 wont 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:
Thats 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 partys most fervent hopes:
Think about it: this would be a leftist baby-killers 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, wouldnt it?
At least, thats 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. Trumps 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 Presidents 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 isnt 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 Presidents and First Ladys health, safety and full recovery.
That is all.
The only good I can think of is if I want to commit a crime.
Yeah. So horrific and merciless that most people don't even know they have it and there's a 99% recovery rate. Even higher for those who aren't already on death's doorstep.
As long as he doesn't quarantine in one of Coomo's Nursing Homes his prognosis is good.
They will take medicine just to be sure.
Yep. HCQ most likely.
I agree. 95+ % chance of recovery even at his age. 99+% for Melania.
AND, best of all after the quarantine period he is not infectious and is immune. NO MORE MASKS. Everyone who is tired of shutdowns, raise you hand and vote for Trump.
So if I got it, and now am better along with everyone else in my house, then what? I am moving on with my life at this point.
Praying for POTUS and FLOTUS after this Covid news...
Also praying that Dr. Fauxci, MD is not called in to treat them...
I hope if Biden has it we show better class than most of the leftists (I think we would). Not that we owe it to Biden to be “nice” - just that we have better values than they do.
That's an interesting jump to conclusions. Why do you think he "handed" Biden the presidency... do you think somehow Trump's supporters are going to desert him?
I do. Glad I am not alone in thinking that.
Or some other anti-inflammatory drug. Even argentina injects people with ibuprofen and have argued that ibuprofen combined with vitamin C and Zinc is more effective than HCQ.
Sorry to tell but you may be a COVIDiot.
Of course it wont.
Did the President test positive or was he merely exposed to hope hicks who tested positive?
The Tweet said he was exposed.
What is the source for the fact he tested positive?
An odd thing to ignore scientifically about virus pandemics is that there is no stopping them, eventually as they enivitabbly spread across the world everyone gets exposed and carries the antibodies.
All this financial disaster, social distancing and mandatory mask wearing coild only slow the sleed.of the spread. It could never stop it from spreading.
Absolute foolishness.
And, for balance, a live nightly feed from Bidenville to go along with it.
What is the source for the fact he tested positive?
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Trump.
That good enough?
Who's to say that somebody knowingly transmitted it to the President. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING would surprise me with those corrupt bastards.
It is a horrible killer. Pray hard. Trump will indeed have the fight of his life.
