For most people who have caught the coronavirus and experienced symptoms, their illness will likely have some sort impact on their life. They might be thankful to be alive, or they might learn a lesson about disregarding protocols that led to them catching Covid-19. They will hopefully have a heightened awareness about keeping those around them safe. For those who did not take the coronavirus seriously, they may now realize their selfish actions might have even led to another individual contracting the virus. This is the case for most people – with Donald Trump this is not going to happen.
Donald Trump had not even been discharged from Walter Reed Hospital; when he came up with the brilliant idea to take a ride in order to wave at his supporters and inflate his pride. His narcissism could no longer be contained, and wanted to show the world how strong he is. Trump simply craves the adoration and accolades of his supporters as if it was some form of nourishment. The supporters, who were marching outside the hospital, belong to the same genre which he once declared in a meeting he did not want to shake their “disgusting hands.” His supporters must think very little of themselves to stand by someone who has absolutely no respect for them, and is only using them for their votes. But that shame is on them.
Trump claims he really understands the coronavirus now – uh, I don’t think so. Trump tweeted, "I learned it by really going to school. This is the real school." Looks like he flunked out. Donald Trump is unable to think outside himself; this is why it is perilous to have a man like him as our president. This is way beyond partisan politics; it is a crisis for this country to have someone so unfit for the presidency. Having a true sociopath for president is bad enough; but you couple this with someone who is devoid of common sense and out of touch with reality, it is downright dangerous.
Donald Trump did not give a rat’s rump if he infected the two Secret Service agents that drove him around. All he cared about was receiving an ego boost from his adoring fans (a.k.a. supporters). In order to secure that dose of adulation, Trump saw it potentially worth the lives of the two Secret Service agents. The two agents were outfitted with gowns and PPE equipment, but were still enclosed in a Chevy Suburban with two passengers - Donald Trump and Coivid-19. The agents are now quarantining. Trump had no regard for their welfare, and being a narcissistic sociopath he sees the Secret Service as an “extension” of himself. Their welfare is inconsequential to Donald Trump, which in truth that is his general stance for everyone who is in his life.
Donald Trump was said to have become increasingly “concerned” about his image, and feared the media was portraying his condition as being worse than what he would like. He fails to realize this is actually a consequence from his less than forthright administration. In other words, since he’s been in office, everyone lies on a consistent basis to the point it is impossible to decipher truth from fiction. Prolific liar Kayleigh McEnany (who now has the coronavirus), William Barr, Mark Meadows, Mitch McConnell, and King Trump makes it impossible to know what to believe. There are way too many culprits in his administration to name.
Donald Trump made it clear when he boarded the Marine helicopter in route to the hospital he was still in charge. Trump would have to be crawling on all fours before he would relinquish command to Mike Pence, and I question he would even do so then. Mike Pence has diminished himself as a leader due to him acting more like a butler than a vice president. His level of “brown nosing” is truly appalling and demonstrates how he would be ineffective as president. Nevertheless, Trump still worried about being in charge.
I believe Trump became increasingly concerned about his symptoms on Friday after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. At one point someone said throughout the day he appeared more and more anxious. I cannot blame him for that; he and anyone who have Covid-19 should be concerned and cautious. It is hard to know the truth with this group, and I find myself speculating he requested to go to the hospital himself. Once he got there, however, he started contemplating whether or not he appeared weak and unhealthy to the American public. I believe Trump’s greatest fear in life is appearing weak – that matters more to him than anything else (other than himself).
The media is forced to speculate, but I have come to believe Donald Trump case is mild. Someone who has significant symptoms of Covid-19 would not be walking around and functioning like he has. I also do not believe they would they staged a press op of him riding in around in a vehicle to wave to enamored supporters if he was feeling poorly.
It is hard for me to belabor the fact he was administered drugs and treatment normally reserved for the most seriously ill coronavirus patients. I can’t help but think of the many that died and needed those treatments far more than he did. I personally believe but can’t say definitively he requested those treatments, as oppose to Dr. Sean Conley or other doctors at Walter Reed.
Conley is bought and paid for, so don’t expect to get any truth out of him. Some have concluded Trump taking these treatments is indicative of his condition being serious; however, I don’t think this is the case. I believe Trump may have insisted on receiving these treatments, and his doctors simply obliged him.
For those who have lost loved ones to this horrible virus; I am deeply sorry for your loss. But it is imperative to lay the blame on exactly where it belongs, and that is Donald Trump’s failed response to the coronavirus. With the onset of the coronavirus in America, the Trump Administration should have been assisting our governors with the equipment and finances to adequately combat this virus.
With what we now know, the coronavirus task force should had formed no later than November or December to adequately council and provide the data the states needed. Instead, Donald Trump downplayed the coronavirus and did his best to hide it from the American people, until he no longer could. In the beginning mistakes were made because no one really knew the full scope of what they were dealing with; including epidemiologists and scientists. Even today, there remain unknowns about Covid-19, and some experts have back tracked on things once declared as fact.
Don’t think for a second the doctors at Walter Reed Hospital were calling the shots. If they were, they are pretty sad group to allow a coronavirus patient to go on a “joy ride” to show off his stamina, and to seek admiration from his base. Trump feeds on others worshiping him (writing this brought me back to the time Trump’s cabinet went around the room, each member praising him). Talk about a high energy drain. The doctors should have never allowed this according to most medical experts; however, it is virtually impossible for anyone to control Donald Trump.
I wonder about those who succumb to the virus, and whether their outcome would have been if they had available to them the treatments Trump received. What would have happened if they would had even received one treatment, as opposed of the three Donald Trump received. Every form of medication he received is typically reserved for the most severe cases.
Before Trump left the hospital Monday evening, he tweeted "Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life," As I said before, he will leave the hospital unchanged and will continue to downplay the virus. What a disparaging comment to make when so many have died from this deadly virus. Why would he ever make such an irresponsible, negligent statement, even after contracting the virus himself? I will tell you why - he knows he failed America with his poor response to the coronavirus, and is the pivotal catalyst behind the death of over 210,000 Americans. Expect for him to just pick back up the way he left off, which is exactly what he is now doing.
