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

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.”

Well, it did look like he was a bit winded after he went up two flights of marble steps with that f@cking mask on!

When you do an aerobic activity (like climbing stairs fast) with a mask on, you're rebreathing your own carbon dioxide. No wonder one gets temporarily winded.

I figure if Como can send hospital released patients into nursing homes, then the hospital released President can return to the White House.

He probably would have been winded BEFORE covid. I love the guy, but he could stand an hour on the treadmill a couple of times a week. We all can.

I think you posted on another thread AT&T is the nation’s #1 telecom provider. I don’t think that is correct - it is Verizon.

Know what I struggle with, Maddow? Not hating your despicable, lying guts. You and your cohorts. You are beyond evil.

Exactly, he trotted up the stairs, he has been sick and he also used controlled breathing for the cameras, Melania does that often.

They’re used to cameras, even before the Whitehouse, and this is just what they do.

Well, she’s trashed the left’s hero FDR for hiding HIS infirmity (polio or GBS) from the public, many times.

Right?

I still remember this guy’s “bombshell” revelation regarding Donald Trump’s taxes.

““performative return” Today’s media phrase. Seltzer on CNN used it, too.”

Media mouthpieces are performative deceivers.

It is hard for us old people not to be a little out of breath when we go up flights of stairs.

I’m glad Trump remembers he is the President of the United States, and therefore responsible to project an image of strength to the world.

Imagine Joe Biden, cowering in his basement.

Only “unnerving” to this pathetic integrity-free clown because she realizes that her future will continue its downward fall. What a sick joke.

Mad Hag Maddow’s reports of Trumps imminent demise are greatly exaggerated and is just wishful thinking

When did Maddow get a medical degree? She seem to have missed Biden’s recent breathless episodes.
