There’s a better chance of Karrin being a good, sober father to his kids tonight than him realizing that.

One big difference we're seeing between GWB and Trump - after GWB ran the country into the ground, he started acting with decency in his final few months in 2008 and did what he needed to do to save the economy so the Republicans could save face and live to fight another day. Trump meanwhile thinks that if he's going down, he's going to act even more crazy and he doesn't care if he takes the whole GOP and economy down with him.
5 worrying red flags from Trump's doctor
1. "I don't want to go backwards."
Conley strangely refused to answer reporters' questions on Monday about when the president received his last negative test, replying: "I don't want to go backwards."
the dodge suggests there is information the White House doesn't want made public about when Trump first knew he was sick.
2. "If we can get through to Monday with him remaining the same — or improving, better yet — then we will all take that final deep sigh of relief."
Next Monday is still seven days away.
The unspoken fear appears to be that Trump could take a downturn again after seemingly getting better on Sunday and Monday — a fairly common course for COVID-19.
then at around the five- to seven-day mark they start to get worse and then develop respiratory failure."
patients can have a "clinical deterioration during the second week of illness."
3. "There are HIPAA rules and regulations that restrict me in sharing certain things for his safety and his own health and reasons."
Trump, however, could have lifted those protections and allowed Conley to fully inform the public about his condition — something he presumably would have done if his results were normal,
Jake Tapper said on CNN, "I've never heard a president's physician invoke HIPAA regulations. Never."
Refusing to answer a simple question about lung scans is cause for concern, especially since it could indicate an attempt to cover up that the president is suffering from more serious problems, like pneumonia.
(Asked directly if Trump had pneumonia, Conley said he was "not at liberty to discuss" it).
4. "We send patients home with medications all the time."
Medical experts have already expressed alarm about the seriousness of treatments Trump is receiving —
"they're throwing the kitchen sink at him,"
further questions about why Trump would be released from hospital observation while on such heavy-duty medications and experimental treatments.
there were reasons Trump went to the hospital in the first place;
Trump being on steroids has also raised questions about his condition on Monday, such as the
possibility the medication is masking how sick he still is.
The drugs can give a patient "false energy" and make them "behave and engage in behavior that is not what the doctor would like to see,"
5. "I'm not going to go into specifics."
the biggest red flag of all was Conley's refusal to answer extremely basic questions about the president's health.
The public still don't know
if he does or does not have pneumonia,
when his last negative test was,
if he's had concerning lab results, or
if there is damage to his lungs and how extensive it might be.
he said the president had "several little temporary drops in his oxygen," because he repeatedly refused to go into specifics.
his health is a national security issue.
He is also a 74-year-old man,
overweight, and
has a number of comorbidities that present challenges when fighting COVID-19.

Eh. Off the cuff, that negligence claim is likely DOA. Been a while since I’ve looked at sovereign immunity cases, but that’s a roadblock. And I’m willing to bet the trump admin, being the piece of it is, made employees sign a waiver of some kind during the pandemic.
"But information about the president's condition—and its severity—remains limited.
Our writers explain:
- Trump, like Benito Mussolini, knows that images matter. “Those staged pictures are what a lot of people want to see,” Anne Applebaum argues. “Don’t underestimate their power.”
- The president’s doctor, Sean Conley, is complicit in this scene-setting. James Hamblin, a staff writer and our resident doctor, writes: “Conley has served as Trump’s publicist in a white coat, reassuring Americans at every turn that Trump is doing well, while leaving out con uous details.”
- Historically, presidential physicians don’t always tell the public the full story."

These Trump apologists would have so much more fun if they would just give in and participate in the mockery of this ridiculous person and his pathetic lackeys. I don't understand the stubborn loyalty. I wouldn't hesitate to mock Joe Biden of this kind of cluster happened around him.
Have you guys seen Chris? Where is Chris?
State of NY wont.
It is amazing that the Executive Branch basically declined to protect itself from the worst respiratory pandemic in a century just to please a cruel, narcissistic maniac. Stunningly self-destructive.
Dangerous, too.
