Has Donald Trump’s experience suffering from COVID-19 “sobered him up” and given him an increased appreciation for how serious the disease is—and how critical it is that he, as the president but also simply as a human being—take every possible precaution to prevent even one more American from contracting it?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
No. [Exhaling deeply and wiping a tear from my eye] No.
Here is what CNN’s Jim Acosta reports about why the president wants to be discharged (it’s not because he’s feeling better and no longer presents a risk to others):
President Donald Trump was demanding to go back to the White House on Sunday, two sources familiar with the situation told CNN.
“He is done with the hospital,” one of the sources said of Trump’s mood yesterday.
Trump is concerned the sight of him being hospitalized “makes him look weak,” the other source said.
He certainly has absolutely no idea the damage he is doing to those around him ,If the white staff and people there ,They all would just walk out and not come back till the place is decontaminated and leave trump thre sitting on the toilet tweeting and wondering what in the hell happened and no one to serve him
Trump is concerned the sight of him being hospitalized “makes him look weak”
Yes, smart people who follow medical advice and listen to doctors are weak. This is well known.
That's why the "weak" people are going to have a much better chance of living through the pandemic than the strong ones. It's evolution, except that people like Trump (social Darwinists) don't understand how it works. "Survival of the fittest" does not mean "survival of the strongest". It means "survival of those who successfully adapt to changing conditions". Right now, that means anyone who's smart enough to wear a mask and follow social distancing guidelines. Trump & the Trumpites are not that smart. They're actively selecting against their own survival.
