Sounds like Bob Guza vs. Wendy Riche at GH. I'm joking.

Hell, that's Trump even without the damn drug.

You're right, you never plan on the public reaction being what it is. If it's all a sham, then it makes sense why Trump is itching to get back to the WH (apart, of course, from his phobias): he tried it, and as far as the voters were concerned, it didn't work. But again, look at the timing: he gets sick and ends up in the hospital, right on the heels of a debate that even Fox News has dismissed as a disaster, with now less than a month to go before the election. (And that's not even including the bombshells surrounding Melania or his blessed tax returns!). I'm not saying I agree with those who believe Trump is faking; I'm just saying, I see where they're coming from.

I don't see the angle either, @marceline, but I really don't blame those who are viewing this entire situation with a huge side-eye. Again, we've had four years of this circus, where each new low from this administration is met with yet another, sadder new low. At this rate, I halfway expect Trump to die, be buried and be resurrected like Jesus.

Cut us some slack, @Vee. From day one, this administration has deliberately deceived and defrauded the people. Even now, we can't get a straight answer as to how sick he is (if, in fact, he IS sick). Trump might be a germaphobe who sees illnesses and hospital stays as signs of weakness; however, he has proven, over and over again, that he will do or say whatever it takes to remain in power. Nothing is off the table even with a deranged narcissist such as he. So, if some of us are being a little bit gun-shy, for lack of a better word, or are finding the timing a little bit suspicious, again, cut us some slack.

Agree. There's too much smokescreening going on, IMO. He might not be ready for the boneyard just yet, but at the very least, he's probably still on a respirator.

Oh, FFS. Laurel & Hardy could do a much better job covering up this [!@#$%^&*].

They could put a partition between Pence and Harris -- you know, like how they would separate folks on "The Dating Game"?

Heck, he would have forgone the quarantine altogether.

If this is a hoax, then it's a pretty [!@#$%^&*] elaborate one. Ten bucks says the man is on a respirator as we speak.

This is when you need Blanche Devereaux to come in and say, "See, you just got a lil' tickle in your throat!". Don't you mean three? You know Pence doesn't enter ANY room with a woman unless "Mother" is accompanying him.

And it didn't have to be this way. All the WH and GOP had to do was listen to the scientists and health experts. If they had simply taken this virus seriously from the start.... Oh, well.

COVID-19 has done more to help get Joe Biden elected than Joe Biden could ever do himself.

Thanks, @DramatistDreamer. That makes more sense. Like I said, I believe Megan McTavish was on the writing staff, but not in any position to dictate story. And I'm sure Susan Pratt knows whereof she speaks about McTavish, too, given that she had to work under her pen at AMC as well as at GL. I miss when soaps were this adult. When you really felt chemistry between people.

I hope so, too. But, Joe Biden is in pretty good shape for a man his age. Which is more than we could say about our current (and now ill) commander-in-chief. That may be true. But, you have to admit, the timing is awfully suspicious. I don't always show it, but I am a Christian, and I believe there's power in the tongue. So, if Trump IS lying about testing positive, then he better be very, very careful. Because, he could speak COVID-19 upon himself...or something worse.

Are they kidding? On a regular basis, Trump makes Jason Voorhies look like Walter Cronkite. The WH won't condemn white supremacists, because, to them, a vote even from them is still a vote. Period. Translation: They're looking to bail from the next two debates.

I know '80s DAYS gets a lot of flack, but I really miss that period when it seemed like people CARED about putting on an entertaining show.

Looks like Lady G is gonna have to lip sync for her life.

I wouldn't have been surprised to see him end up with Nikki.

Megan McTavish broke up Fletcher and Claire? Huh. That's interesting. I know she was on the writing staff at that point, but I didn't know she had that much influence. How...odd. I guess Michael Malone was a GL/Fletcher and Claire fan?

Shoot, it won't play on my tablet. What did Susan Pratt say specifically about Megan McTavish and Richard Van Vleet?

Frankly, I am bone-tired of people who insist that Donald Trump will behave himself and then are caught off-guard when he doesn't. Trump has shown us over and over and over again that he cannot behave with any sense of decorum befitting a world leader. Stop pretending otherwise.

Trump had his chance to denounce white supremacy after Charlottesville. He didn't. Expecting him to do so last night was flat-out country dumb. I didn't watch it either. I didn't want to give Trump the satisfaction of high viewing numbers. But I watched clips.
