It's impossible for Trump to have empathy. Sociopaths are incapable of empathy, even if they try.

But for Trump, it was a question that he was unable to answer because he doesn't have any empathy. Sociopaths are missing the ability to empathize. So he threw a tantrum. Over a very simple question(Simple for the 96% of people that have to ability to empathize).

Alexander: So, what do you say Americans who are scared, I guess? Nearly 200 dead and 14,000 who are sick and millions as you witness who are scared right now, what do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?

Trump: I say that you are a terrible reporter, that's what I say. I think it's a very nasty question. I think it's a very bad signal that you are putting out to the American people. They're looking for answers and they're looking for hope. And you're doing sensationalism and the same with NBC and Concast -- I don't call it Comcast I call it Concast. Let me just, who do you work, let me just say something.
That's really bad reporting. And you ought to get back to reporting instead of sensationalism. Let's see if it works. It might and it might not. I happen to feel good about it, but who knows? I've been right a lot.

Trump is as slippery as an eel.
I cannot imagine why he would fake a case of covid with his track record of not taking it seriously, and his refusal to take precautions. Various sources say that the fifth day of symptoms things can go south, so I am interested in the disease progression.

He is receiving some experimental drugs. He is getting good care. I think he might recover. And yes, he is slippery.

Yes, Mr. Reckless will get to use something none of us would have access to. I mean, it's important our president stays alive, right? More important than you or I needing to live.

He got it because of who he is. As you know, no matter how well we adhered to CDC guidelines to take precautions or "believed" in the science, if you had his symptoms, you'd be sent home to "see how you do."

The denier/liar-in-chief who has made this all worse than it needs to be, will have every measure taken on his behalf. Talk about Karma.

No way is he lying, not at this point. Now that he's at Walter Reed, Trump is being treated by multiple senior military officers. They respect themselves and their country too much to lie for a scumbag like Trump.

If never, ever trust Trump's own personal white house doctors, including that one nutjob that's now running for congress.

But truly apolitical, career military officers at Walter Reed...they would not lie to cover for Trump.

I would have simply answered the question with "stop listening to the media and look at the statistics. Don't fear something because some tells you that you should"

At the end of the day, do people really care if they get it? I know my family amd friends dont.

Default Of course, masks protect the wearer. It is dangerous to continue to assert otherwise.

Oh, YES, they DO:

The best masks are Level 3 surgical masks and N95's. No mask is foolproof - but ANY mask is better than none.

Remdesivir is available to the general public.

Quote:
Beginning October 1, 2020, American hospitals can purchase Veklury (remdesivir) directly from the drug's distributor. Veklury is an antiviral drug currently authorized for emergency use by healthcare providers to treat hospitalized adult and pediatric patients with suspected or laboratory-confirmed COVID-19.


Regeneron's polyclonal antibody that he is also receiving is in clinical trials and being evaluated for FDA approval.

The same trials that the Left has been criticizing along with the various vaccines as being "rushed" and "dangerous".


So which is it?

Do you want the drugs rushed so the public can have what he's getting.....or not?

Yes, I believe President Trump, unfortunately, has Covid.
For the record, I also believe that Joe Biden, unfortunately, has dementia.
It doesn't matter what I, or anyone else, believes. Reality is what it is.

People complain they can't breathe in a simple cloth mask, do you really think most people will wear an N95?

That's a pretty expensive helicopter ride for someone who might not have COVID....

I believe he does have COVID. I wish him a speedy recovery and get back out there to his millions of fans
