Re: Donald Trump's health
UK driving licences didn't have photos until about 20 years ago. (I haven't changed address since 1996 and so I still have one of the old green paper licenses with no photo card. This anachronism is increasingly puzzling to people who expect one to have photo ID.)bmforre wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:53 pmSurely he could have shown his driving licence, presumably with picture and name?sTeamTraen wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:22 pmCan you imagine him getting pulled over by the cops, especially in the era before most people had printed ID?

I didn't have official photo id (other than passport) until I got my Irish passport card last year.

Re: Donald Trump's health
Is he taking a percentage for product placement? Or is it just he gets fixated?
Apparently it's not just soup cans that protesters are throwing... it's Bumble Bee brand cans of tuna too according to Trump as:

Less "Bend It Like Beckham" and more "Riot Like Ronaldo"?They throw it. It’s the perfect weight, tuna fish, they can really rip it, right? And that hits you. No, it’s true. Bumble Bee brand tuna. And you can throw that, you can put a curve on it, you can do whatever the hell you want.
Trump has the virus
Trump confirms he has the virus
What treatment will he be getting I wonder?President Trump said early Friday that he and the first lady have tested positive for the coronavirus, throwing the nation’s leadership into uncertainty and escalating the crisis posed by a pandemic that has already killed more than 207,000 Americans and devastated the economy.
“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19,” Mr. Trump wrote on Twitter. “We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”
The president’s result came after he spent months playing down the severity of the outbreak that has killed more than 207,000 in the United States and hours after insisting that “the end of the pandemic is in sight.”

Re: Trump has the virus
There's been discussion here and elsewhere about the possibility of false positive results from the tests. It's very worrying, so I hope that this turns out well.

I have never wished death on anyone, and I’m trying really hard not to do so now.

I know some people have said that they will do anything to avoid the next televised debate, but this is a bit extreme.

Re: Trump has the virus
Can you imagine Trump if he doesn't get seriously ill though? I actually think from the point of view of saving as many lives as possible, he needs a pretty strong brush with death. If he remains asymptomatic then he will try to further trash the USA's pandemic response and downplay its severity.

Re: Trump has the virus
Totally agree. If he gets no symptoms, or just very mild symptoms, it will totally reinforce his apparent belief that it's not serious.mediocrity511 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:37 amCan you imagine Trump if he doesn't get seriously ill though?

Re: Trump has the virus
He's in his 70s, obese and with (possibly) other underlying health problems. I'm hoping he at least gets it as badly as Boris did (to make him realise that it's not "just the flu"!)bagpuss wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:39 amTotally agree.

Re: Donald Trump's health
A severe case followed by long COVID would do the job as well. And prolong his suffering. If he hadn’t been so dismissive of the science around this pandemic I wouldn’t be feeling quite this way, even though I don’t think I’d be wishing him well somehow.

Re: Trump has the virus
I'm keeping my schadenfreude in check, because I am not sure this is good news. There are two ways in which this could work well for Trump. The first is that, even at his age, he might experience only mild symptoms (or be able to pretend that they were mild). That will just add weight to his dismissive comments about the virus. The second is that he might experience more severe symptoms and that this might earn him a sympathy vote from right-leaning Americans. That wouldn't be logical, but there are right-leaning Americans who are none too bright. There's a good chance that some left-leaning Americans will audibly wish death or serious illness on him, which will help him (if the US is anything like the UK, then there plenty of left-leaning Americans who are none too bright as well).
In six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them. The human body was knocked up pretty late on the Friday afternoon, with a deadline looming. How well do you expect it to work?

No. Because if that happens, Trump is effectively beatified, Pence romps in on November 3rd and this utter shitshow just continues with a different malevolent face.Bewildered wrote: ↑Fri Oct 02, 2020 6:52 amOk this was worth coming back in for, seeing as I have been waiting for it since March.
