NY Times revealing that in election year of 2016, Trump paid a grand total of 750 USD in tax. In fact, he has paid no tax at all in 10 of the last 15 years. Here is an interesting thread on his tax situation and his debts.

One of the more "Trumpian" facts is that he claimed 70.000 USD as a tax deductible expense - for hairdressing services.

I assume that Trump really has caught covid, and the wonder may be that he hasn't caught it earlier with his mask and social dustancing behavior.

Maybe he is trying to change the landscape after his apparent car crash of a first TV debate with Biden, that Biden that Trump has previously riduculed for his personal covid caution. Maybe hoping for some sympathy vote, being such an empathetic guy himself

Whatever, the worse the polls etc get the more desperate Trump will likely become. I was thinking that stir up more race issues would be on the agenda

Apparently it's all a leftist plot.

This is from a former congressional candidate who is implying that the democrats smeared his podium and microphone with CV-19 for the debate.

The fact that one of Trumps closest aids who tested positive recently has been traveling with Trump in Air Force one and on his helicopter with him (probably unmasked) will no doubt have nothing to do with it.

Hmm, Trump's doctior sounded more like an evasive and contradictory politician than a doctor at the doctors' non reassuring news conference.

eg. the answer to the tough question to answer- has he received oxygen at any time? is not repeating "not today". And he's not very good at timelines.

Film of the happy clappy huggy Rose Garden suspected spreader event are unblelieveable and yet with this White House ...

For those who haven't seen it, I think this is the video Indi is referring to.

The guy doing the hugging is positive for Covid 19

Trump has been given EARLY access to two different types of therapeutics hmm

One is Remdesivir, which is a viral RNA polymerase inhibitor initially developed and used clinically for Ebola virus infections. The second is a mixture of two neutralising antibodies specific for the coronavirus and grown to large scale in the lab. Both approaches are tested technologies, but are not yet approved for CoVid-19 because they are still in phase 3 of clinical trials for this particular application.

I was waiting to hear whether he would be ignoring the advice of his Drs and taking bleach biggrin

I don't really have a problem with Remdesivir - it's actually been approved for use in the UK and US, although doesn't have any markedly good results.

However, the Regeneron monoclonal treatment really annoys me (and it shouldn't really but.....)

This is (probably) a real gamechanger, the initial trials were extremely encouraging, with no side effects.

BUT it's very difficult to produce (needs 'humanised' mice) and not easy to administer i.e. needs to be by infusion, so has to be done at hospital, but is for people who are in the early stages (that was the trial group that were so effective) so non-hospitalised patients.

So basically any normal person has zero chance of getting it. But Trump did. And I understand he's President, so not 'normal' but he'll come through, walking on water, claiming he's invincible and it's all over-exaggerated, and the vast bulk of the people he infected will just have to make do with the bog standard stuff, for what that's worth, and hope....

You may need a Sixth Sense to understand it though.

Let me know if anyone wants an explanation.

Hey, nice to see Trump out and about in a little drive past his supporters. And it must have been a real honour for the driver and secret service agents that got to accompany him within a bulletproof and hermetically sealed against chemical attack SUV. Nice of him to wear a mask to make it a bit less likely thst he would pass on covid-19 given that some kiiljoy doctors ( probably socialists ) are suggesting that there are few environments more likely to help pass on the virus.

Oh, and who among his advisers and/or doctors had the backbone to tell him that that wasn't the greatest of ideas? - even if none actually stopped him.

You can tell which of his advisors contradict him today: they are the ones that are fired tomorrow.

If @realDonaldTrump were my patient, in unstable condition + contagious illness, & he suddenly left the hospital to go for a car ride that endangers himself & others:

I'd call security to restrain him then perform a psychiatric evaluation to examine his decision-making capacity.
