MSNBC’s Maddow: Trump’s ‘Performative Return’ Was ‘Unnerving Spectacle’ — He Was ‘Struggling to Breathe’
Breitbart ^ | 10/05/2020 | Pam Key

Posted on 10/06/2020 6:01:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow called President Donald Trump’s return to the White House an “unnerving spectacle of the president really, visibly appearing to struggle for breath” during Monday’s broadcast of her show.

Maddow said, “President Trump returned to the White House tonight after three nights spent in the hospital at Walter Reed. He staged a kind of performative return that may have tried to be a sort of triumphant ‘I beat the virus’ thing with Marine One landing right next to the White House. The president then tromping up the stairs into the White House. This may have tried to be a sort of triumphant return impression, but the real impression it created was something almost opposite to that. I mean the president walking up the stairs to the South Portico, but then turning out to face the cameras while he was- could be plainly seen really gasping for air, huffing and puffing, mouth breathing, and trying to pull in air while his chest sort of rose and fell with difficulty, looking out at the cameras.”

The man is 74 years old, just got out of the hospital and walked up the steps.

I think any of us would be breathing just a little harder.

Madcow lies about the time of day. She’s an unhinged lunatic.

liars like Maddow get away with their blatant lies because they know their audience is too lazy and too stupid to ever watch the actual videos of the events that they lie about ...

It didn't appear to me that the President was having any difficulty at all. However, there are videos out there showing Hillary having a hard time dealing with stairs.

“performative return”

Today’s media phrase. Seltzer on CNN used it, too.

I’m sure the very competent and most capable doctors at one of the world’s great hospitals in Walter Reed Medical Center wouldn’t allow the Commander in Chief to go home if he was having trouble breathing. Is she making an implied jab at military doctors at the same time she’s attacking the president?

I haven’t seen the photo of President Trump being thrown into a van, like a side of beef, after collapsing, as was Hillary. I also haven’t seen the President being helped up steps by a man on each arm as was Hillary. (I loved the photo-shopped picture of Hillary being helped up the steps of a gallows).

MSNBC should have been shut down by now. tabloid TV is far too kind a way to describe them.

a MUST-VIEW for those who missed it. near the end of the segment, Bhattacharya says how Trump’s calming talk is exactly what is required (paraphrasing).

1m52s tp 15m55s: Dr. Sunetra Gupta, Oxford Uni Epidemiology Professor, Jay Bhattacharya. Stanford & Martin Kulldorff, Harvard- Experts: Those not vunerable shoud resume life, etc”

Youtube: 41m09s: 5 Oct: Fox News: Laura Ingraham Angle

follow-up segment on lockdown is also good, as is the whole show.

The only “struggling” going on was Big Media’s lame attempt to make Pres. Trump look unhealthy ... it backfired, as usual

The “Trump was gasping” is the Dem talking point of the day. Drudge was on it, too.

And after we were told it was due to “pneumonia”, I don’t recall one question challenging her. In fact, did anyone ask what her oxygen saturation rate was, a rather relevant question regarding a person with pneumonia.

Funny, I have to wear a mask all day, including when walking between buildings on a large campus, and I have no trouble breathing through it.

Yes, Trump spoke clearly, without blinking his eyes and without the need to hesitate and search for words, as addled Joe did whilst his brain took several seconds to get his stuttering lips moving.. But that’s the sort of thing Rat “reporters” overlook when running interference for their feeble candidates like Joe, Hillary and FDR going for his fourth term.
