Oxygen levels dipped twice all of a sudden, but its nothing..

He will probably say he handed COVID better than anyone has handled it or will ever handle it and that the doctors told him he was in very very good shape was in better shape than any other 74 year old doctors had ever seen, but with his age and the shape he is in, he will will feel this for awhile. His energy level will go down for sure.

I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!

This was his tweet.

quote:

That is a good message and exactly what we need from a leader. A positive message.


Not really, a real leader would not have made it about himself. "I will be leaving the walter reed hospital...

"I feel better than I did 20 years ago"

"Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life" is not a responsible response a leader should say.

Should people live in fear? No. But should people be responsible? Yes. A real leader would have said something along the lines of "This is something we still need to be aware of, but we can't allow it to stop our lives so we have to be responsible while we are out doing the things we enjoy".

By using "we" it is somewhat more unifying, but what he said will create an even bigger divide because you will have those who think that its no big deal then you are going to have the other side who isn't going to believe him because.. Well, he isn't known for being the most truthful person in the world.

His message isn't something a real leader would send out.

Anything he says you people will try to create a bigger divide. There is no changing the minds of people who already have their mind made up that every word out of his mouth is bad. So sincerely stfu

He is a real leader.

Whether you support him or not, he won a a free and fair election. He is validated by that. He is the President as chosen by the American people.

So a real leader tweeted the message.

You can disagree with the message but the elected President of the United States is a real leader.

You could say "a bad leader" but not "a real leader"

Are you afraid of heart disease? Are you afraid of Cancer?



I watched my dad die from heart disease, and my gradnmother die from cancer. Yes, I am afraid of being diagnosed with both. Neither are highly contagious like Covid is, so you comparison is stupid to begin with.

quote:

Do you let those fears dominate your life?


I don't think there are many, if any, people that are allowing Covid to dominate their lives. Perhaps some of the doctors and nurses that go to the hospital to treat people with everyday do. Do I take precautions to avoid catching it? Yes. Do I take precautions to try and prevent spreading it in the case I do have it? Also yes. The latter is something this WH hasn't done, as evidenced by the nearly 30 people that have been at the WH in the last week that have tested positive for it.

Real leaders don't bankrupt multiple companies and default on debts and have people in their immediate inner circle go to prison. Real leaders don't hire and fire people in 6 months all the dn time because they know how to hire the best people.

This fricking guy.

Just remember folks, don't let this dominate your life. If you happen to come down with it, just call up the chopper, have them fly you to the top military hospital in the world where you'll be placed into a multi-room suite with mahogany conference rooms and chandeliers, have a team of the nation's top doctors monitoring you 24x7, and ask for emergency approval for a drug that isn't even available to any other citizen in the country. Of course, all of this is FREE because the tax payers will pick up the tab. If you start to feel a bit anxious from the steroids they put you, just call up your taxypayer funded security team to drive you around the block!

No clue why people are scared of COVID. It's EASY to beat.

I am basing what I said on his personality and how he has acted in the past, but what's funny is that you are saying to me the exact thing you are doing. Could someone change your mind to vote for someone other than Trump?

As a registered Republican, who considers himself independent, I do not like the fact that he has become the Republican party. From day one, the moment he decided to run for for president, it has been all about him.

Just read this article.

BBC



quote:

If Mr Trump received updates about Cohen's dealings with top Kremlin officials in a project that Mr Mueller's team says could have made him "hundreds of millions of dollars", the president's calls for camaraderie with Russia may have served his personal interest instead of a patriotic one.


You can't trust him. He is only a Republican because that's what he had to be to run for president. That's why I don't like him.

At least Trump isn't a little bitch like Hidin' Biden who has barley left his house in 6-months.

You can be POTUS and not be a leader. Getting elected doesn't automatically make you a leader. One can hold a position of leadership, but if they do not act as a leader then they are not a leader.

LOL. What was he supposed to say, "The President will be leaving...." LOL. Pure nonsense on you part.

Should people live in fear? No. But should people be responsible? Yes. A real leader would have said something along the lines of "This is something we still need to be aware of, but we can't allow it to stop our lives so we have to be responsible while we are out doing the things we enjoy".


That is just semantics. His statement says what you wrote without pussyfooting around it.

More than anything we need people to deliver a strong, direct message. That is what a leader does.

And regarding truthfulness. Who do you consider truthful these days? Biden? LOL Obama? LOL The media? C'mon.

It doesn't matter what Trump does, those that oppose him will find fault.

We know. Most of us were around from 2008-2016, during the Obama admins.
