Current Affairs Donald Trump POS: Judgement cometh and that right soon

[BirkenheadBlue]

TBF it isn't the smart thing to do. In 2016 the smart thing to do was to present himself as an alternative to a political class that was doling out the election to one of two favoured camps - this worked because it was fundamentally true, and at no point did any of his rivals ever manage to challenge it effectively.

In 2020 the smart thing to do would be to point to the disaster being as bad as it is going to be because of the state that the US Healthcare industry is in, and that nearly all of the top level of US politicians (Presidents, Senators and Representatives) bear the blame for not reforming it. This is also fundamentally true, and it will lessen the very real blame that should attach to him personally for not reforming healthcare himself, all the cuts his administration has imposed (and is imposing), his personal lies and antics during the crisis and the blatant self-enrichment that so many of his supporters are engaged in right now.

That would be a decent argument if he’d done ANYTHING in the last 3yrs and 2 months to improve it, and wasn’t in court as we speak actively trying to make it worse.

Also, he’d be dangerously close to indirectly giving some modicum of credit to Obama (as the only President in recent times to have made any significant change to healthcare) which we know he’s physiologically incapable of doing

Yes, and as I said he bears as much blame as them for it in reality - however expect to see all them clips of him appearing to favour single-payer that went around before 2016 again, presented as his sage predictions of what needed to be done but was prevented by the deep state etc etc etc.

This is probably the 4th or 5th time
I’ve posted this, but it keeps becoming more and more true...

NO ONE has less respect for Trump voters than Donald Trump does.

Of course he doesn't, but he needs to get them to vote for him. Giving them a "yes, but what about...." response to the slating he will get over this is vital, and this is the best one that remains to him.

Probably the truest thing ever posted on this, or any, message board.

Ive read the article on this treatment. Not overly impressed...very small data set, some differences in baseline viral load between groups, 5 of 26 in the treatment group failed therapy, to name a few issues.

Worth further research but not mass use especially as HCQ is not benign.

My pharmacist friends report big runs on HCQ. Some state boards are starting to restrict use.

Cool cool.

I guess Trump decided that having people dying of ONE medical condition wasn't quite enough, and that the privilege should be extended to other groups as well.

its amazing that he can find new ways to sink even lower

I'd also bet he has money in the firms who make those (though both are generic)

Bayer and Teva are donating HCQ for Covid use. That’s potentially to their ultimate benefit though if the drug proves to be beneficial.

If you think you have been exposed shouldn’t you self isolate until you know for sure one way or the other? And especially keep more than 6ft away from people who are elderly like Trump and Fauci? Particularly as they hold important positions?
