How Ill is President Trump?

I see many posts on social media about the state of the President’s health. Most of them are distrustful of the information coming out of the administration. These posts are mainly from the center-left of the political spectrum. One group believes the President is faking his illness to gain sympathy and improve his political standing. They believe this because they don’t trust anything that comes out of the White House because he lies all the time. The second group believes the administration is undermining the severity of his illness for political purposes because, you know, he lies all the time. I’m in the second group. I believe he’s very ill.

It's certainly a serious business for someone of his age and physical condition to contract Covid-19. The Daily Mirror (UK) seems to think that things are very far from well over there!
EXCLUSIVE: Some US critics claim that he is desperate to seem better than he really is to avoid appearing weak in the run-up to the election on November 3

I've just read the article. The journalist(s) clearly enjoyed writing it.

@MALUSE Here in the States we often don't know whether to laugh or cry.

I believe he is very ill. The doctor has already been caught lying about whether or not Trump received oxygen. There's no reason to believe these people. They lie about everything.

Either way he went back to the White House today. The one I read said he took his mask off when he got there.

He took his mask off and made a big production of that act and the whole coming back to WH spectacle.

I'm with you. He's as sick as hell and about to get the full brunt of it.

I do hope he recovers. I want him to be soundly defeated in November.

I don't believe he's faking his illness or doing it for political gain. I hope he gets well.

I hope he gets well also so he can be soundly defeated at the voting booth. I just want this nightmare to be over so we can all get back to our lives.

l think he is infected with it and is trying to recuperate from it. l think he is lucky to have access with all possible treatment for him to not worry about the cost because it would all be charged to the government. l do think that this would not help him bolster his bid for the presidency since this will hamper him to be physically present in his campaign sorties. What he needs to project is a healthy candidate and not sickly one.

He truly may be, faking that he is not. He seems to be able to push his doctors around.

Trying to at least. We'll see how that goes.

A humbling experience for such a pompous, high-headed, non-stop MAGA President. His complete recovery, I suppose, has given all groups their answers to their questions-- if they are willing to hear and decide for themselves.
