Breaking: Don 'Killer' Trumpillini is admitted to Walter Reed Hospital. At one point during his treatment for COVID-19 at the VWH, he was breathing with the help of supplemental oxygen. According to breaking reports from CNN, he was also treated with experimental antibody drugs, a corticosteroid, and an anti-viral, remdesivir--NOT hydroxyQ. He may have been diagnosed as early as Wednesday, but did not immediately isolate himself raising concerns that he may have infected others near him. Mr. Pence, stand by for the shade of LBJ aboard Air Force 1.
After treating the SARS CoV-2 virus like a bad case of flu--refusing to wear a mask in public, holding crowded press conferences without social distancing, and rallies in hot spots--the King of Debates may have been infected by the attractive aide Hope Hicks, who works in close proximity to the macho Don, and who tested positive for the virus before POTUS and FLOTUS. However, there are reports she was one of the few VWH insiders who wore a mask, and was chided for her simple precaution by the official death cult in Trumpworld®.
So, perhaps the Republic can expect a brief respite while he recuperates. His overdue infection comes on top of his bullying, embarrassing and unprecedented performance art--you cannot reasonably call his verbal confrontation of Joe Biden a debate. Sponsors will need to do more than turn off his mike for two minutes so the other guy can speak. His attack dog style was learned at the feet of Roy Cohn, one of the most vicious lawyers ever to come out of New York City.
