What did you expect?  Basically what he said was not to let Covid dominate your life, don’t be afraid we have great Drs and we are going to beat this.  Would you rather he said:  “This is freaking scary stuff.  Stay in your room and hide. Otherwise your f—-ed.  I had the best care in the world or I’d have died. We are doomed.”

Seriously.  It’s not as if he came out, said it’s a walk in the park, let’s open up the stadiums and party.

Those are really the only alternatives you see?

I was trying to make a point.  Which, of course, you know.    

Trump deserves a lot of (most) the criticism he gets.  But it’s over the top at times.  I think the comments regarding his statement leaving the hospital is one of those times.  Thus, my comment.

I really don't get your point. Trump really did try to make it sound like it's no big deal, just go out and do stuff. He really did rip off his mask while gasping for air and swaying like his head was spinning and then  go in close proximity to a bunch of people. I don't get the compulsion to constantly defend this creep and attack anyone that looks crosswise at him.

Hey now - I am definitely right there with everyone that dreams of a better day in mid-January.   Still today we can give him a bit of a pass.

President Trump is clearly on a bunch of meds that make it very hard for him to think rationally.  He also lacks a normal level of campaign and political support because, for some reason, a large number of his staff are unable to go to work in the West Wing right now.

So a guy apparently close to roid-rage has no one near him that can guide him.   What could possibly go wrong???

FWIW the stadium comment was curious BTW because Trump has been on record for a long time that stadiums should be open.
