Meanwhile, it looks like the president will be discharged from Walter Reed and returning HOME to the White House today or tomorrow.

Not since the text of a cable dispatched from London to U.S. press by iconic author Mark Twain after his obituary was mistakenly published, has anyone made a laughing stock of the pious press like President Donald Trump did yesterday. “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated,” Twain wrote. Media rumors that President Trump is dying of Covid are also greatly exaggerated:

Doctors, Nurses and ALL at the GREAT Walter Reed Medical Center, and others from likewise incredible institutions who have joined them, are AMAZING!!!Tremendous progress has been made over the last 6 months in fighting this PLAGUE. With their help, I am feeling well!

Here the media had the president dying of Covid

Here the media had the president dying of Covid, with wishes for his imminent death dominating social media when he took a brief joyride in front of Walter Reed Medical Center to acknowledge fans and supporters holding signs telling America’s spunky 45th” “We Love Trump!” How dare this ‘dying’ man treat himself to a Sunday afternoon drive-by?! But nobody in the media remains calm when there’s a perfect excuse to go apoplectic. “Left-wing media figures took to Twitter on Sunday afternoon following President Donald Trump temporarily leaving Walter Reed Medical Center and taking a short drive to see his supporters who were outside showing their enthusiasm for the president. (Daily Wire, Oct. 5, 2020) “The most notable hit came from Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin, who called for the Maryland Attorney General to “indict Trump for reckless endangerment” and “assault.”

I would hope that if any harm comes to those agents the attorney general of MD will indict Trump for reckless endangerment, assault (yes the virus he gives off count), etc.

Rubin suggested that Trump needed to be immediately removed from power through the 25th Amendment and claimed that the GOP was a “death cult” and not a “pro-life party.”

I would suggest covid has already impaired his judgment so he is a risk to others. 25th Amendment, anyone?

next question to Pence: intentionally risking the lives of others for personal gratification sounds like the actions of someone not in his right mind. When do you go to the Cabinet to activate the 25th A?

Twitter doesn’t correct grammar and spelling, from Trump-hater posts

Rubin also claimed that Trump was willing to “infect his supporters,” even though the windows were not rolled down in the SUV that was carrying the president.

He is in the hospital for covid and he wants to infect his supporters??!???!?

The mask the president was wearing never hid the smile in his eyes, and many who saw it knew what would be coming next. They didn’t have to wait long.

“CBS News reporter David Begnaud complained that Trump appeared to not wear the correct type of mask. (Daily Wire) “The president who is infected with coronavirus, doesn’t appear to be wearing a medical grade mask, there’s a secret service agent in front of him is [sic],” Begnaud wrote. “The president looks to be wearing a cloth mask similarity [sic] to the one he has occasionally been seen wearing.”

Twitter doesn’t correct grammar and spelling, from Trump-hater posts.

“A reporter for Vice News claimed that a Secret Service agent told her that Trump’s actions were “so reckless and careless and heartless.” (Daily Wire)

Why is it that so many foam-flecked reporters come complete with their own nameless Secret Service agents?

Hey, Doc, so do the media, only they use chicken bones, feathers, colored baubles and the occasional secret service agent!

Just sent this video to a Secret Service source who responded: "So reckless and careless and heartless" https://t.co/5DE6Y9GSEe

“White House physician Sean Conley, D.O., gave additional details on Sunday about Trump’s overall health condition, saying: "Since we spoke last, the president has continued to improve. As with any illness, there are frequent ups and downs over the course, particularly when a patient is being so closely watched 24 hours a day. We review and debate every finding, compare it to existing science and literature, weighing the risks and benefits of every intervention, its timing, as well as any potential impacts a delay may have.

Hey, Doc, so do the media, only they use chicken bones, feathers, colored baubles and the occasional secret service agent! There can be little doubt that the president is going to beat the virus and return soon to the campaign trail. This is not good news for a media who only wants to hear bad news for their next move which they hope will see him removed from the ballot. Meanwhile, it looks like the president will be discharged from Walter Reed and returning HOME to the White House today or tomorrow. You can bet the family farm that the ghouls who will be out there chanting, “I hope you die!” are already heading over to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
