I'm not going to block you, Carl. I am going to block people claiming it's all a hoax from now on. I think you know that when even the cleaning staff are getting it it's not a hoax.

I'm going to start blocking people posting tinfoil hoax [!@#$%^&*].

Exactly.

It is not a hoax and it is not going to work for anyone but the cult. And that narrative you describe has never materialized in the mainstream. He also did not want to go to Walter Reed; he was forced to. He is not going to get the victory lap he wanted - the public and more importantly in this case the Beltway media are appalled and disgusted. He is almost certainly ordering the military doctors to release him against medical advice. He is contagious and dangerous, and will return to the WH to infect everyone and everything in sight. He is Typhoid Don now. He will demand a return to rallies and touring, which are impossible. And his admin will be lucky if he does not collapse in the next 6-10 days. So like I said this morning: If he wants to go home, go for it. To paraphrase Obama, please proceed.

It's not a con. He's just insane.

Both worth a read.

It makes sense because he is in denial, jacked up on roids and desperate to regain control. That's why yesterday's insane joyride was the compromise to force him to stay on site.

Yes, he is a deranged narcissist and a liar. But he is not a master strategist or manipulator. He has endured catastrophe after catastrophe of his own making for years, especially this year, especially the last 30 days. Now he's literally fallen prey to the disease he has spent the year calling a hoax and no big deal and the national reaction is largely schadenfreude and disgust. That is not something you plan.

It's not a sham, lmao. What will it take for you guys to believe that a demented narcissist on steroids who hates the idea of illness in every way, and had to be forced by his staff to go to Walter Reed, is now living in denial and operating against medical advice?

IMO: He's going to pull rank on the naval doctors and demand discharge. And before anyone says otherwise, no, that's not going to end well and be seen as a triumphant return by anyone but the cult. Not after the past week (or 24 hours).

Now trending: "Steroids"

Yes, yes, he's an invincible god whose every move is a masterful ploy while his polling and public/media opinion close in on the center of the earth. Moving along.

I assume it will one way or another. But that's still getting more difficult by the day, and I am glad they will suffer for it. It may become the very definition of pyrrhic victory - especially with the Dems becoming increasingly open to responding in kind.
