😷 Trump plans to debate Biden in Miami after stint in hospital, campaign says

[ThinkingSapien]

WASHINGTON — President Trump still plans to debate Democratic nominee Joe Biden at the second presidential debate in Miami later this month after his three-day stay in the hospital with the coronavirus, his campaign said.

“It is the president’s intention to debate,” Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh told CNN on Monday after the commander-in-chief announced he was checking out of Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The president’s doctors cleared Trump to finish his recovery at the White House residence earlier Monday after he was helicoptered to the Maryland hospital on Friday with a spiking fever and poor oxygen levels, according to multiple reports.

In a tweet, Trump told his followers he was “feeling great” and “better than I did 20 years ago.”

White House physician Dr. Sean Conley echoed the president’s remarks and said while he wasn’t out of the woods, Trump was “back to his old self.”

The remaining 29 days of the presidential election were plunged into doubt when the commander-in-chief announced he and the first lady had tested positive in the early hours of Friday morning.

At least 12 other White House staffers or associates of Trump have also been diagnosed with COVID-19 since then and his re-election campaign has been forced to cancel all in-person events.

Joe Biden has been continuing to campaign in battleground states across the nation while Trump has been laid low by the virus.

He’s supposed to be in isolation 14 days after experiencing his last symptom.

It will have been 14 days by the time of the debate

I don’t see how he is ready to debate by Oct. 15, but I hope he is. Maybe they can put him in a plexiglass bubble or something.

Maybe Joe should insist that Trump be tested for performance-enhancing drugs like…steroids.

Maybe they can put him in a plexiglass bubble or something.

Reminds me of “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” movie from the 70s…we could have “The President in the Plastic Bubble”

Just put a big plexiglass wall around each candidate like they use at the convenience store.

 

[Jeanne_S]

Fair enough but only ifJB will agree to performance enhancing drugs as well and agree to being checked for ear buds this time.,He refused last debate

Maybe Joe should insist that Trump be tested for performance-enhancing drugs like…steroids.

Only if Biden agrees to a drug test for amphetamines.

 

[PaulinVA]

Only if Biden agrees to a drug test for amphetamines.

Well, I said that as a joke, but, yeah, whatever. I know I think that Trump should release his medical records. Biden, too.

 

[F_Marturana]

Imagine there were performance drugs to turn a senile person lucid.

Release them to the general public please. We’d save a great amount of Medicaid dollars spent on dementia care.

Drugs for ADHD can provide temporary lucidity in senile persons

Imagine there were performance drugs to turn a senile person lucid.

Amphetamines will do that.
With some side effects.

Until Trump is testing Covid negative as are all those surrounding him, the man should be in isolation. As per all expert medical advice.

This is simply a baseless QAnon conspiracy/hoax that has no place in rational discussion.

My mom had dementia Alzheimer’s for years until he death.

That’s completely untrue.

I’m adding, it was so heartbreaking and frustrating to see her mind slip away with meds doing nothing but maintaining her current level for just a few months more.

It was terrible to see my mom who used to be a wonderful cook struggle to cut a peanut butter sandwich in half.

Or forget the word “dog”.

Or be convinced I was her sister.

Performance enhancing drugs? I wish,

 

[F_Marturana]

Yep.

I wish Alzheimer’s on no one. It’s merciless.

 

[Jeanne_S]

I mentioned senility not Alzheimer’s. Something I read recently

Just put a big plexiglass wall around each candidate like they use at the convenience store.

Vice Presidents tomorrow are supposed to be separated by a plexiglass wall. I think Jaime Harrison brought his own plexiglass wall to his debate with Lindsey Graham!

Of course, Biden or the moderators can insist on anything they want. Lawless Trump just ignores agreements and rules at his whim.

Add to this that many QAnon theories are derived from antisemitic rumors. They really have no place here.
