Erratic Trump Behavior Raises Concerns Covid, Treatments Are Warping His Judgment | MSNBC

    1. @Gods God “Well reported” is the real oxymoron of the day. You shall one day have to pay for your blasphemy

    2. You wish to become closer to God,
      stand for who you really are –
      this isn’t Russia, be cool/ not cold.
      ___
      Science, as History – requires people (with character), to understand then disperse that information back to the general populace (books, film, poetry Etc). You wish to speak as an adult (free citizen of any nation), but lack the character (credentials).

      Don’t think speaking English makes one special (nor a citizen_ much less God). Just as with Russia, Putin only wishes to Silence US (individuality), as we are examples to his people of everything they could become (without him).

      Farewell,
      Dk

    1. @Paul Trump’s own doctors admitted they gave him several experimental treatments for COVID, a battery of steroids, and Trump’s been on oxygen at least twice since leaving the hospital. He’s not out of the woods yet, but he has the best healthcare our country can provide, and he only had to pay $750 in taxes to receive it.

    2. @Paul oh dear, you really haven’t been paying attention have you… It has been widely reported on by all the “fake news” (and this category also now includes any one on fox who dares include actual facts in their reporting) what drugs trump was given but you, Average Joe, would not be allowed them until your condition was considered critical and one of them isn’t available for use at all as it is an experimental treatment.. Also, you wouldn’t have access to a raft of doctors and medical staff monitoring you around the clock in the very early stages of your infection, for mere mortals don’t receive that sort of attention until you are seriously on your way to dying.. So the crux of the matter is he doesn’t have to live with the consequences of his irresponsible actions or his administrations totally bungled response to Covid 19

    3. @Jeremy Backup man you really have no idea what you’re talking about do you. None of what you said is true and I’ll go so far as to say I’ll give you a thousand$ if you can prove any of what you said is true

  1. How would anyone ever know if the meds he is taking for COVID have impaired his judgement? Seems to me his judgement is always impaired….

    1. @Bruce we have them here in Australia
      We get ours from the back of the weet bix or corn flakes box

    1. Good point. Imagine giving a guy with full blown dementia the codes. Quid Pro Joe would probably take out Stockholm first.

    2. @Gregg Shhhh. Crazy baby trump is sleeping. 🤑💤 You and Joe, outside and play in the rose garden. And tell those Swedes to stop yodeling. Geez.

  2. When he got in the car and rode around and then left the hospital climbed the long steps at the back of the White House he didn’t act or look normal. He looked hyper and a little unhinged like a parody of himself. No wonder Trump Jr. wanted to have an intervention – trump is not like anybody else when it comes to behavior but this is even unusual for him – it’s the virus, the meds, and his fear of the virus. He just can’t seem to wrap his mind around the fact that HE caught it and that bad things can really happen to him.

    1. The six times bankrupted swindler, felonious tax evader, habitual liar, creepy serial groper and self-proclaimed white nationalist Donald John Trump has been a Russian puppet for decades on end for all to see, quite simply because he is a stable nincompoop in all matters related to money, finance and investment.
      To support Donald John Trump, you have to be either senile demented or extraordinarily dimwitted.

    2. Speaking of the treasonous lardarse, here’s the recipe for a Trump-sandwich:
      Two thick slices of lumpy white bread.
      One truckload of baloney.
      One bucketful of Russian dressing.
      One tiny little spongy toadstool.

    3. @Borvo So if it so ground breaking tell me how it changed anything, I’ll wait. While your at it, send me one positive article or video from MSNBC or CNN in the last 4 years that had a positive slant to it. Bet you can’t find maybe 1 or 2. Pretty sad and they’ll be held accountable for their part in all this. I think you left out a few people who factually did collude with Russia. Does Hillary, Comey, Brennan, Obama, Obiden, McCabe, etc. ring a bell? Trump just ordered the documents released unredacted immediately. The Russia hoax was sedition and treasonous and you won’t read about it here. Nobody should be above the law and DOJ officials to a higher extent, they did take a 24/7 oath……………….Trump included. Too bad the lefties don’t feel that way.

    1. Ellen Peba find Jesus? Eww i bet he ain’t but dust by now ! And who lost him in the first place ?

    2. @Greg McFarland You lost Him, greg–so when you’re dead, that’s it? No one in the world that you love? No spouse? No child? When you’re ALL dead then you’re just cremated?

    3. @Tidbit I sure am ♥ He is the Center of my life. I love Him more than I love my own family ♪♪ How about you, tid?? Would you like to meet Him? You’ll have to give up your love of abortion, though.

    4. Ellen Peba so you are talking about the god that ordered the Israelites to hack the midianite boy children up with swords in numbers 31 ? Do you also indorse the slaughter of children ? What about slavery? Your god CLEARLY does! Do you even know what I’m talking about?

    1. He cancelled them because Pelosi is a POS and couldn’t care less about the people. There is never enough money for her. Then of course if she gets her trillions she’ll turn around and blame Trump for the deficit lol. Trump is ready to address the COVID relief and that which applies to it. He has $1,200 lined up for people but Pelosi won’t play ball unless she gets her trillions to bail out her poorly run Democratic states and cities. That’s not what the stimulus money is supposed to be used for. Let them rot or bail themselves out by being fiscally responsible. All that free stuff and paying for illegals takes it’s toll. She tried to get 1B to fund abortions on the 2nd stimulus bill, got money for the Kennedy Center. None of that has anything to do with stimulus money. Her hair looks nice though huh? She couldn’t care less about anyone other than herself and her special interest groups and lobbyists. She even had the stones to demand an apology from the salon owner. She’s a POS on her best days.

  3. The circus peanut thinks he’s immune? Wow, those bleach injections and light-bulb suppository must really work.

    1. The government, “IS” sick.an they all have to take drugs, an trump’s, brain “IS” a terrible thing to waste..lol..

  4. His “physician to the president” can’t be trusted, displaying his sycophantic love and admiration for the “president”.

    1. It’s spelt Psycopathic and why is admiration of a country’s leader Psychopathic?

      This is why you morons lost the election 😂😂😂

  5. “Don’t be afraid of Covid; don’t let it dominate your life.” Trump is getting millions of dollars in healthcare for his $750, while he takes your healthcare away. Aarrgghh.

    1. Yah, “Don’t be afraid of Covid; don’t let it dominate your life.” Tell that to the families of the 211,000 DEAD AMERICANS. Trump once again demonstrates he has no empathy, and no soul.

  6. This needs looked at. Trump is not stable. NO ONE says 3 days into a Corona Virus diagnosis, “ That I feel 20 years younger”

    1. @Sally F Exactly. I need regular courses of steroids for COPD. The psychological side effects are powerful and unpredictable, from mania to depression including suicidal thoughts.
      That’s why I try to avoid them except in extreme circumstances.
