If Trump and his people are trying to create the illusion that he's now magically cured, why did they let him go out there with fresh bandages on his hand? It gives away that he's still taking IV injections. And how did the narcissistic Trump not realize this? How far gone is he?
Trump shouldn't have needed the bandaid for more than a few minutes after the IV was removed.
Does Trump have a bleeding problem?
Or did they give him the injection just seconds before he walked onto the balcony?
Most of us wouldn't care, or might forget about it; it's just a bandaid. But Trump is insanely and obsessively vain and hates to show weakness. Ordinarily he'd freak out about something like a visible IV area bandaid, when he's trying to convince the public he's no longer ill.
And what exactly was Trump injected with? He claimed the night before that he didn't "think" he was still taking any drugs. Looks like that was a lie.
What's crazy is this: they apparently had to inject Trump with an IV drug right before he stepped out onto the balcony just so he could give the speech, and he STILL only managed to last 17 or 18 minutes before wrapping it up. Trump doesn't give speeches that short.
Sounds like we have a President who's so ill with a deadly virus that even when he's injected with steroids, he's functional for less than twenty minutes before he goes down the tubes again. Even if Trump were a great President, it would be disqualifying. And he's a terrible one.

If Senate Democrats have any hope of derailing Amy Coney Barrett, they need voters in the middle on board – and that starts by pretending to give her a chance and letting her hang herself. Please stop asking the Democrats to do self-defeating histrionics just so you can enjoy it.
If the Democrats blow their entire wad on day one, it'll just cause people in the middle to ultimately conclude that Barrett is not quite as much of a monster as Democrats said she was, and we'll have no chance of stopping her.
These hearings are not about making your socks roll up and down. They're about winning. And the only possible path to winning this fight doesn't involve histrionic foot stomping right out of the gate. That would only be for your entertainment. Sorry, but this is too important.
Mike Pence displays possible coronavirus symptoms, abruptly cancels his campaign events, disappears for a day and a half, then hits the campaign trail again as if nothing had happened, and the media ignores it because it's too busy attacking Joe Biden over hypothetical questions.
