Not before he orders the release of all the deepstate documents being with held.

I’m not sure The Rona has him debilitated to that point. I mean if he goes full on Boris Johnson, than sure. But right now? Nope. But if I’m the Pence family I’m going to be hanging out at Vamp David for a few days :D

It'll happen when he and his medical team decide he is no longer capable of carrying out the duties. He was able go go from his residence to Marine One under his own power so I'd assume he and his team believe he can run the country. If he gets worse than the process will start.

All of this is just guessing as it has been a long while since we have had to worry about this. What makes this even more unique is that we are a month away from the election.

IKR? That place has to be sweet. Can’t see that being Trumps type of vacation spot though. I can see the Pence family hanging out there though

My youngest brother is a DC firefighter that once worked at Camp David when he was a federal employee. My cousin was a medic that worked there at or around the same time. They said it was a great place for those that were staying there, but boring for emergency staff.

Not sure we'll ever know how or who brought Covid 19 into the white house, but overnight Fox News speculated maybe Notre Dame's president John Jenkins or someone traveling with him. They attended the rose garden ceremony for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett. Seems they have a big outbreak, football team reports 18 cases.

Cases at this point to me are meaningless. At my count I know as many asymptomatic positive cases as symptomatic ones. It sounds like Trump is showing some signs as is KAC.
On a side note....about masks.....

The doctors held a press conference at Walter Reed. President is doing well which is good news.

The bad news? The press conference was extremely bizarre with a timeline that doesn't make much sense. The doctor said it has been 72 hours. Which doesn't line up with the late Thursday night diagnoses. It is clear he felt ill on Thursday but still went to a fundraiser in Jersey. It is so bizarre and I feel like we have way more questions than answers at this time.

2 super easy explanations to this
1- He misspoke. He also had to ask what day it is. I’m sure he’s been working pretty long hours so he might have been off
2- And this is the one I’m going with. As they back track his ‘symptoms’ what may have just been chalked up as fatigue on say Wednesday night can now be reclassified as Symptoms’ in light of recent events. I know this has been the case with several people I know who had The Rona

Then there is this. It just isn't adding up.
Meanwhile, a statement was sent to White House pool reporters from a source familiar with the president’s health that presented a less rosy picture.


“The president’s vitals over the last 24 hours were very concerning and the next 48 hours will be critical in terms of his care. We’re still not on a clear path to a full recovery,” the statement said.

Right, but Hope Hicks tested positive Wednesday night. So for someone who is briefed regularly about all things Covid it should've been a red flag.

Chris Christie has now tested positive. He was at the Supreme Court Justice event at the White House which appears where the virus spread at.

Who else was there? Our very own Jerry Prevo...

Jim Acosta jumped on this. I give it as much credibility (maybe less) than one of ballcoach’s #sources

It was a memo handed out by staff members to the pool and then followed by an off the record conversation from Mark Meadows.

Obviously you and I both have our biases but things just don't add up.

So you don’t know if it actually was Mark Meadows...

And it appears I was right on both accounts.

I wouldn't say that. This is the same administration that goes from saying Covid is almost over and affecting virtually nobody to calling it a plague today. The administration credibility is not great. Especially when we know the covid messaging has always been to play things down as to not alarm the American public.

But you're loyal to your guy. I'll give you that.

I just don't get how you don't see the holes in this entire thing but such is life in this land of Trump apologists.

I just don’t think a few hours here or there is that important. Knowing that it takes time to get a test back. Even the President. I’m sure they wanted more than one Positive to be sure. And I’m sure the doctor is dealing with a whole bunch of things that a slip like that isn’t that difficult to believe
And again, the 99%+ chance of surviving this just doesn’t get me all worked up.

If I trusted the administration then I'd agree. Nearly 4 years of lies and misleading comments have caused me to doubt everything.

I've been around DC long enough to never trust anything. Haha
