Trump seemed to defy the laws of science and disease. Then, the coronavirus caught up with him.

Now, dozens of people — donors, aides, Secret Service agents — who had been close to Trump before his diagnosis wondered if they, too, might be infected. A whole world, with Trump at its center, suddenly faced the threat that the president had encouraged them to deny or understate.

Secret Service agents expressed their anger and frustration to colleagues and friends Friday, saying that the president’s actions have repeatedly put them at risk. “He’s never cared about us,” one agent told a confidant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the internal reaction.

Secrect Service speaking up?

In the hours leading up to the president’s announcement of a new coronavirus testing initiative last week in the Rose Garden, officials at the Center for Disease Control were left in the dark about the initiative’s actual details. Earlier in the day, Vice President Mike Pence and Adm. Brett Giroir, the administration’s coronavirus testing czar, had hosted a call with the nation’s governors, during which they said that the federal government planned to send states batches of Abbot BinaxNOW point of care tests, free of charge, with the hope that they use them for the reopening of schools.

But neither Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert, nor CDC Director Robert Redfield were on the call. And when Trump ultimately unveiled the initiative at the Rose Garden, neither Redfield, Fauci nor Dr. Deborah Birx, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force, appeared alongside him. (Birx has been traveling across the country to work with colleges to slow community spread). Instead, the president turned to Pence, Giroir and Scott Atlas, an adviser to Trump on COVID-19 issues, to promote the new testing plan.

Excuse me @matt. Are you accusing me of floating a conspiracy theory? This is an extremely legitimate question and given the volume of lies that have been put forward by Mr. Trump, it is perfectly conceivable that this is another one. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/

I’m amazed that you have ignored me every time I’ve reached out to you over the years, but decided to acknowledge me now only to say this.

No, I’m saying we don’t discuss conspiracies here. We discuss the news, what’s happened, and so forth. And since your question IS directly related to the second item on this list of misleading and false information related to Trump’s positive Covid result, I wanted to arrest any talk of the matter before it spiraled. That, in part, is how you maintain healthy online communities.

Aside from this not being true, if it were I don’t know why you’d expect or feel entitled to a response 100% of the time? I make myself extremely available to the wtf community, but there are limits to that. I don’t think I need to apologize for setting boundaries.

Actually, there were suspicions early, that he might be “trying something” to gain compassion, and avoid the next debates.
All this stemming from the fact that he can’t be trusted, on any subject.
By now, we know he really has C-19, and it seems serious, in his case, the lack of tweets is evidence enough. Lol.

His vote would change the ACB vote…3 R senators outside of Sen Murkowski and Collins and would make up the 5 votes needed to not confirm ACB.

Trump’s doctors said it had been 72 hours since Trump’s diagnosis, which does not fit in with what we know. We were told of Trump’s illness late on Thursday/early Friday Washington DC time. That means Trump went to a fundraiser in New Jersey knowing he had Covid-19. They also kept flip-flopping oddly on whether or not he’s on oxygen.

At a Saturday morning press conference, President Trump’s medical team suggested that the President knew he tested positive for coronavirus earlier than has been previously reported. Dr. Sean Conley, Trump’s physician, said that we’re “72 hours into the diagnosis,” meaning the President could have test positive as early as Wednesday.

At a press conference, Trump’s medical team at Walter Reed said the president is fever-free and that they are “extremely happy” with the progress the president has made. But the team refused to answer key questions about when the president was first diagnosed, first symptomatic and whether he had received supplemental oxygen.

Adding to the confusion, a White House official said after the briefing that the doctor misspoke about the timing of the president’s diagnosis and treatment. The White House has not commented on the record about the doctor’s remarks and whether they contradict the timeline previously communicated to the public by Trump and the White House.

Trump spent the night at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he received the experimental drug remdesivir after experiencing mild coronavirus symptoms.

Here are some significant developments:

  • Chris Christie, who helped Trump prepare for last week’s debate, said Saturday that he has tested positive for the virus.
  • “Going welI, I think! Thank you to all. LOVE!!!” Trump tweeted from the hospital shortly before midnight. His physician said in a statement late Friday that “the President is doing very well” and “is not requiring any supplemental oxygen.”
  • Kellyanne Conway, a former senior adviser to Trump, said Friday that she tested positive for the virus, just days after attending a Rose Garden event announcing Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the Supreme Court. At least a half-dozen people who were at the event have confirmed infections, including Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and University of Notre Dame President John I. Jenkins.
  • Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and top White House aide Hope Hicks have also tested positive for the virus.
  • Trump has no public events scheduled on Saturday; he will spend several days at Walter Reed “out of an abundance of caution,” the White House said.
  • Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, noting that both Lee and Tillis are members of the Judiciary Committee that is scheduled to hold a hearing on the Barrett nomination, asked that the confirmation hearing be delayed.

Source tells reporters Trump’s vitals are ‘very concerning’

A source has told CNN’s White House reporters that President Trump’s vitals in the last 24 hours have been “very concerning,” and that he is “still not on a clear path to full recovery.” CNN’s Jeremy Diamond and Kaitlan Collins have more.

Here’s an AP report, from one of the reporters, Jonathan Lamire who spoke with Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, as we heard “Off the Record.” But this report is far darker than the one T’s chief Dr. Conley spoke about…and I would tend to believe this one.

It’s all about keeping a positive spin on things for the T administration.

President Donald Trump went through a “very concerning” period Friday and the next 48 hours “will be critical” in his care as he battles the coronavirus at a hospital, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows said Saturday. Meadows’ comments contradicted the rosy assessment of Trump’s condition offered by his staff and doctors, who took pains not to reveal the president had received supplemental oxygen at the White House before his hospital admission.

“We’re still not on a clear path yet to a full recovery,” said a weary Meadows.

It was a dramatically different picture than the one painted by the White House staff since Trump revealed his diagnosis as well as by his doctors, who updated the public at a press conference at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The briefing by Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley and other doctors raised more questions than it answered as Conley repeatedly refused to say whether the president ever needed supplemental oxygen, despite repeated questioning, and declined to discuss exactly when he fell ill. Conley also revealed that Trump began exhibiting “clinical indications” of COVID-19 on Thursday afternoon, earlier than previously known.

“Thursday no oxygen. None at this moment. And yesterday with the team, while we were all here, he was not on oxygen,” Conley said.

But according to a person familiar with Trump’s condition, Trump was administered oxygen at the White House on Friday before he was transported to the military hospital. The person was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity,

Conley said Trump’s symptoms, including a cough and nasal congestion, “are now resolving and improving,” and said the president had been fever-free for 24 hours. But Trump also is taking aspirin, which lowers body temperature and could mask or mitigate that symptom.

“He’s in exceptionally good spirits,” said another doctor, Sean Dooley.

Trump is 74 years old and clinically obese, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from a virus that has infected more than 7 million people nationwide and killed more than 200,000 people in the U.S.

White House officials, including Meadows, had insisted Friday that Trump had only “mild symptoms” as they tried to project an image of normalcy.

“President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms and has been working throughout the day,” said press secretary Kayleigh McEnany. She said Trump had only been sent to Walter Reed as a precaution.

Mark Meadows is walking back his more dire comments. So it sure looks like he has to voice the ‘party line.’
