I am confused. Loved ones are not allowed into rooms with covid patients. They are video'ing

[LizBeth]

the man in an hospital room with covid, yet patients are dying without loved ones.

[Thekaspervote]

1. White male privilege

[LizBeth]

3. ??? Spewing the virus out of his unmasked face in a room that has to have a high covid load

with at least one other person in there running a camera? I mean, I am thinking about all the gear doctors put on when walking into these rooms yet people are coming in to film him.

[JI7]

2. He has access to what would be available to the President

it's meant to run the country and mainly to protect but he will use it for his own grift.

[LizBeth]

5. Wasn't all the proticals put in place to protect people from the virus load in a closed unventilated

room?

[lunatica]

4. The overwhelming majority of patients aren't Malignant Narcissists who

demand a flag draped backdrop while fighting an illness.

On the serious side Trump gets to go to the hospital very early compared to others. Most patients have to wait till their respiration is very bad. They don’t get admitted before they really get sick.

[LizBeth]

7. Doctors said he was in bad shape not long ago. The load has to be high. He isn't wearing a mask.

And he has people in his room filming.

[lunatica]

9. I am assuming that whoever is in there is suited up appropriately

Officially he is supposed to be working as much as ever, which would mean something if he ever really worked.

My question is about his hair. Is someone doing his coif for him or is he doing it himself. If he’s doing it himself then he must not be feeling that bad. When he gets really sick he’ll stop, and so will the videos.

[LizBeth]

12. I do not do the stupid conspiracy stuff but these people are such liars. Looking at Ops

now sitting here talking about the cabinets and looking at it video'd yesterday before the trip to Reed, I am now sitting back considering maybe just another fuckin lie.

I hate liars. We can't believe a single damn thing from them.

[Resistance1]

6. Because these people don't think rules apply to them

That is why we are where we are today

[LizBeth]

8. Why the fuck isn't anyone saying anything. People are walking into this room that would supposedly

have a high covid load in it while he is not wearing a masked spewing the virus all over the place to be filmed.

[mucifer]

10. hospital staff do video calls with families

[LizBeth]

14. You are thinking the camera man is hospital employees? And they did his hair for him too?

[tblue37]

27. He probably did tape that before he left the WH for Walter Reed.

[Hekate]

11. Some here have looked at that video & are deconstructing the editing. Speculation it was made....

....yesterday in the WH, as background doesn’t match up with photos of the hospital suite.

[LizBeth]

15. I so ignored thata when it first started being said, now I am more and more seeing that a very real

possibility. And that is what we get with liars.

[DrToast]

13. Gosh, do you suppose there are different circumstances when its the President of the United States?

Good lord, people.

[LizBeth]

17. What person is going to step into that room of heavy covid room when we watched months

of doctors and nurses gearing up and walking away and dying.

[crickets]

29. Yes. I seem to recall some posters earlier in the day wondering what

kind of shape he was in and whether we'd get any visual proof about what's going on with him. A video seems perfectly reasonable for a president. If he hadn't released one, people would be antsy. If it were anyone else other than the biggest liar on the planet, I'd take the video at face value. As it is, I'm on the fence about whether it was filmed yesterday or today. I guess we'll see based on what sort of communications we get tomorrow and after.

[Ms. Toad]

16. Same reason he (and his family) have ben allowed to get away without masks,

that he is taking experimental drugs, that he has access to as much testing as he wants, and that he has been able to get away with coercing his staff to put their lives at risk for him.

He's a privileged bully, who happens to be president.

Really not that much of a mystery.

[LizBeth]

19. I visualize the doctors gearing up to walk in a room, and find it hard to believe any employee

is going to just walk into a sick room full of covid load.

I am the only one I guess that am incredulous with this but then I have been isolating for 6 months so I do not get covid so it sticks out to me.

[malaise]

18. Great post

Rec

[LizBeth]

20. Thank you. It really isn't making sense to me. Maybe they have relax the rules a bit, but I have a

friend whose mom is in the hospital and she is not allowed a visit.

But supposedly Trump is so ify with camera men and hairdressers in his room.

[torius]

21. They could have set up the camera

before he went in, then UV'd the room to get rid of virus and then retrieved the camera. Or, he could have put his phone on a stand or something (maybe there's already equipment in the room he's in) and made a selfie video. Then he could save it to the Cloud (probably some White House Cloud) and someone else could download it and edit it.

[LizBeth]

22. And he did his own hair inbetween being in bed sweaty with fever and up and about making video?

[Codeine]

23. He's the president.

It would be the same no matter who was President.

[LizBeth]

25. We are talking about human beings walking into the room. If they are worried about someone getting

covid to say goodbye to their loved one, then there is that same level of concern for a person walking into a room to video a person or do their hair. Are you saying that lives are expendable when it comes to the President, or there is not that great of a risk and people should be able to say good bye to loved ones but it can't be both.

[Codeine]

26. I'm saying that if the president

wants people to come and go he’s going to be allowed to do so. He’s the president. It’s not about right and wrong or fair and unfair, it’s just about him being the supreme executive of the country.

[Sogo]

24. On another thread, someone

posted pictures of the Presidential suite at Walter Reed. Why did they have him in a supply-closet-looking room, as opposed to the lush, cherry-wood paneled rooms of that suite?

[DesertRat]

28. I don't understand the button down shirt with cufflinks?

No monitors or IVs?

[wackadoo wabbit]

30. It wasn't filmed today.

It was filmed before he left for Walter Reed.

As I wrote in a previous post — https://democraticunderground.com/100214204845 — I'm sure he filmed a number of videos, to be disseminated over the next few days.

Think about it: If he's as well as he looks in that video, why isn't he tweeting? (I think we can all agree that the tweets coming out of his account aren't in his voice.)

[LuckyCharms]

31. Here's how to understand all of this.

1) Everything he says is bullshit.

2) Words just fly out of his mouth automatically.

3) Nothing they make public has any relationship to the truth.

4) He literally does not care about anything but himself.

5) He is incapable of changing his ways. Even a bad illness won't do it.
