Idiotic.

The Regeneron treatment is allegedly a) experimental and not yet public-approved and b) a serious step for "compassionate use" in severe circumstances.

That is textbook early symptoms, BTW. "Fatigued but in good spirits". We haven't seen or heard from him in almost 24 hours. The admin were gung-ho very, very early this AM to try to get him on TV to prove he is functional and well enough to govern. If that was going to happen, if he was capable of it, it would have by now or very, very soon.

No tweets, no sign.

Had a feeling this was coming when Senate Republicans began getting nervous a few days ago breaking ranks with nihilist Mitch, saying there had to be a relief deal before they left DC. Knock on wood, but I think Pelosi's gambit worked.

You will be! They can't let those two be in the same space.

This shít is gonna move fast and I suspect we're not gonna see him on TV today or this weekend, which says a lot since the WH has been desperate to get him on TV today to prove he is functional.

Exactly. He spends at minimum the next two weeks of the last stretch of the campaign in isolation being seen as ailing and on the verge of death. The entire GOP is thrown into disarray for fear of coronavirus. The SCOTUS process may even be derailed or delayed. And this is some brilliant scheme? Nope!

It's not a stunt, lol. Trump is a germaphobe. He hates appearing physically weak. To him the appearance of strength is everything, hence his fake crackpot doctor claiming he is super healthy and fit when he first took office. This runs counter to all of that. He's already symptomatic. And this has sent his WH and the GOP into even more chaos, which is the opposite of what they need a month before Election Day. Y'all need to get this vision in your heads of Trump the master schemer pulling the strings out of mind - he has never been that. Ever. He's just an idiot. I know it might be more comforting to imagine he's some secret evil genius based on everything we've been through that he has wrought on America, but a supervillain didn't do it. A fool did.

That's Fox. That's not the rest of the world. They're grasping for straws. Even they were angry at him yesterday for not condemning white supremacists.

A lighter moment re: Melania's insane anti-drug ad with the bizarre side profile Streisand angles:

It is not a ploy. He got it from Hicks. He detests weakness, especially physical weakness, and is an intense germaphobe. Being seen as sick, ill and infirm is his worst nightmare. He wanted the debates; he felt he did well Tuesday even though his entire admin thought it was a disaster. He was demanding the next one go fwd unchanged. He did not want this. He was rasping on calls yesterday. For the final time: Everything Trump does is not a masterful 3-D chess ploy. He is just that [!@#$%^&*] stupid and incompetent. He has failed countless times in office. He faces constant political and personal catastrophe because of his own mistakes. He got this disease by being himself. No one is gushing and it is a disaster for a dying campaign and administration - now possibly literally. Stop thinking this man is an unstoppable superman when at every turn he has shown you he is not. In fact, it's only by the grace of God and his utter stupidity and incompetence and legacy of failure and supreme fallibility that have we managed to survive the last four years. An actual superman would have destroyed us all, instead of almost doing it by accident like him.

CNN assumes the debates are done, and so do I.

It will, judging by the above news. Pre-reveal, he blamed the military for Hicks getting it:

But wait - there's more. @DRW50 this one's for you! A perfect rejoinder to Rachel's frankly obnoxious tweet.

LMAO at witches hexing Trump in the comments:

It is not a master plan, lol. Dude has it. Got it from Hope Hicks.
