Donald Trump’s doctor is more full of crap than ever
On Friday, October 2, Donald Trump went to Walter Reed Medical Center, having tested positive for the coronavirus. A few days later, he returned to the White House and has since returned to the Oval Office, and hosted a stupid campaign stunt at the White House on Saturday. Before going to Walter Reed, he insisted his doctors sign NDAs, and Dr. Conley has been worthless when it comes to understanding Trump’s condition, refusing to state anything of substance.
When asked when the last negative test had occurred for Trump, we have been told nothing, suggesting that he had no tests done until he fell ill. One clue that we are not being told the truth about any of this is the inane statement to Tucker Carlson on Friday: “I have been retested, and I haven’t even found out numbers or anything yet. But I’ve been retested, and I know I’m at either the bottom of the scale or free.”
The test is pass/fail. You are either one or other, there is not a scale. Reckless behavior for sure. What is more troubling is that on Saturday, Conley issued a memo stating that Trump was free to resume his normal activity, given 10 days from symptoms had passed. But the CDC site warns that those like Trump, who have been seriously ill, should quarantine longer.
Dating back to the time he was a teenager avoiding military service with fake bone spurs, all of Donald Trump’s medical reports have been bogus. So we once again have a reckless, dangerous administration potentially making others sick. Not just Trump, but Lindsey Graham, Chuck Grassley, and Mike Pence, all of whom have been exposed and could be spreading the virus as we speak.
