Trump is now on steroids, per his doctor.
His doctor is now saying that Trump had a high fever and low O2 sats on Friday.
He said that Trump had two "transient" episodes of low O2 sats under 94%.
Trump's doctor says Trump was on oxygen for an hour on Friday when his O2 sats dropped under 94%.
Doctor at Walter Reed says that Trump could be released as early as tomorrow, meaning the Biden campaign should put their "contrast" ads back up now, IMO.
The spin coming out of Dr. Conley could take the earth off its axis.
Dr. Conley said he was trying to give the "upbeat attitude of the team" when he lied about Trump getting oxygen yesterday, which makes no fucking sense. Why even bother to brief us?
Not sure why Dr. Conley couldn't say whether Trump was in a negative pressure room or not.

Which means he's probably not.

Which means everyone in proximity is in danger of getting aerosolized virus.

Ridiculous.
Dexamethasone is a steroid given for moderate to extreme inflammation, which means he likely has serious lung involvement.

I can't believe they are talking about sending him back to the White House tomorrow.

Recap.

Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 Thursday night.

Friday morning, Trump's O2 sats dropped below 94% and he had a high fever. He was put on oxygen for an hour. He was given polyclonal antibodies, an experimental treatment usually authorized for "compassionate use".

1/
Saturday, his O2 sats dropped below 94% again and he was put on oxygen again for an undisclosed amount of time. He was started on Remdesivir, generally given for severe COVID-19 infection with significant lung involvement.

2/
Today, Trump's doctors say he was started on Dexamethasone, a corticosteroid generally given to COVID-19 patients with severe inflammation of the lungs and/or other organs.

And they are talking about sending him home tomorrow.

I don't fucking think so.

3/
Remdesivir is used to boost the immune system but can cause inflammation.

Dexamethasone is used to decrease inflammation, which in turn depresses the immune system.

Is he on steroids to reduce liver or other organ inflammation caused by Remdesivir? 4/

So, Dr. Sean Conley has basically decided not to answer about 90% of the questions we deserve answered.

He won't say whether Trump has *ever* been on oxygen.
He won't say when his last negative test was.

He's said, "I'm not going to go into that" about 10 times.
This is absolute bullshit.

Look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but Dr. Sean Conley's explanations, including the whole "we're 72 hours into his diagnosis" when the announcement to the public was made yesterday...wtf.
I mean, why couldn't Dr. Conley even say how high Trump's fever was?

This is insane. I don't even know how you go about contact tracing this kind of #superspreader event.

Confirmed cases of #COVID19 from Rose Garden and debate so far:

Trump
Melania
Hope Hicks
Kellyanne Conway

Sen. Ron Johnson
Sen. Mike Lee
Sen. Thom Tillis

Bill Stepien
Ronna Romney McDaniel
Fr. John Jenkins
11 debate staff
3 White House reporters

This is Trump's travel schedule from September 25-October 1.

I hope everyone who came to see him gets tested ASAP. Especially the ones who were catching the free t-shirts he was throwing into the crowds at the Minnesota fundraiser.

Trump last night about Proud Boys: stand back and standby.

Trump just now about Proud Boys: I don’t know who they are.
Lol he says said that Biden wants to get out of the debates and that Biden looked “weak”. The projection is real, y’all.
“Proud Boys? They used to get my coffee. I’ve never met them.”

This is amazing.

Trump: Your party wants to go socialist medicine.
Biden: I am the Democratic Party right now.

🔥The Times obtained Donald Trump’s tax information extending over more than two decades, revealing struggling properties, vast write-offs, an audit battle and hundreds of millions in debt coming due. #TrumpTaxReturns nytimes.com/interactive/20…
"Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the WH, he paid another $750. He paid no income taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years — largely because he reported losing much more money than he made."

Something tells me the Russians aren't going to bail him out of this one. #TrumpTaxReturns

I grew up on a farm in rural Ohio.

Church every Sunday, family dinner every night.

We were dirt poor, so we hunted so we'd have venison in the co-op freezer and grew a huge garden so we could put up vegetables for the winter. 1/
I still own guns, not for hunting, but for protection after getting credible death threats from the same people that Kristi Noem is hoping to rile up with this culture war BS.

Yes, Democrats live in red states.
Yes, Republicans live in blue states.

They want us divided. 2/
Because when we are divided, it's easier to discourage real conversations about how to move the country forward.

When we are divided, we are easier to conquer. Do you really want to be conquered by the people you elect to represent your interests?
