Yes really. BOTH sides of the road had lines of Supporters on either side. I saw several videos posted from practically every angle. Trump has little time for the media. The media were there but Trump was waving for the supporters.

No news yet on Trump heading back to the White House but I understand he's been Tweeting, which strongly evidences an improvement in his condition.

I assume Trump will still be self-isolating within the White House with the medical areas on stand-by. It's usually the second week where things either get better or get worse we've been told.

I assume Trump will still be self-isolating within the White House, and his armoured SUV when the mood takes him. ;)

Hes been tweeting like crazy. So I'd assume meds are to blame. A barrage of tweets all in caps.

He’s leaving hospital today.

Don't be afraid of COVID if you have unlimited medical coverage, two dozen leading specialist doctors, access to a full range of medications including experimental drugs, and an executive suite at a top hospital...

The man is an absolute knob. But more importantly, what is that knob going to do about making the treatment he received, if indeed it is proved to have worked, available to the rest of the population.

No self-respecting country president, especially and advanced western country, should ignore the plight of people without medical insurance in this sort of emergency situation. Let's hope he comes round to doing the right thing.

He is so irresponsible. Still having COVID and not caring who he infects. Telling America to bot be afraid of it is shambolic in itself. His base will just lap it up and are probably less likely to wear masks etc as they've seen their great leader shrug it off.

However if you watch some of the video from him getting back to the WH he clearly looks to be struggling to breath still and wincing in pain when breathing. Just trying to act the tough guy.

I hope him infecting most of the WH staff and behaving erratically these past few days causes him to loose support.

He gets worse.

Dexamethasone is known to have mental health side effects. It can cause psychosis. It can cause delirium. It can cause mania.

A proven knob - at least in most respects. He certainly led in that department.

Calling him a knob shouldn't detract for what's happening in the Middle East in respect of Israel and various Arab states. A good piece of US work there.

You really don’t have a clue what you’re on about. You are no health expert, fortunately I am. For a start his physician said there is no evidence of viral traces in him, which means others are at low risk of becoming infected.

Covid is survivable by many many more people who die from it, look at the infection rate of people world wide, and the people who have recovered. I had it and survived it.

There needs to be a path back to normality. We are going to have to live this like we have the flu, pneumonia etc etc and yeah people die from these illnesses but we cannot keep stopping our way of life, wrecking people’s livelihoods.

That lends more weight to the theory he had it longer than we thought. 7 days are meant to be when you still can spread with the CDC recommending 10 days isolation as a result.

Did it he have it at the debate I wonder. When was his last negative test before the positive one?

Not necessarily Damien.

He’s been given a cocktail of experimental drugs, that invoke an autoimmune response at what his physician said worked well because he was at the early stages of the illness.

you're of course forgetting that anything, absolutely anything, that he does evokes a negative press and general negative media response.

He has not had a positive thing reported about him since he entered the race for the presidential nomination.

The 365/24/7 negativity is something that no other president has ever received.

despite all that, he won the election and he is still within (or was, haven't seen the latest) the margin of error of the polling of his opponent.

He is not within the margin of error and hasn't been for months.

This is an average for which MOE doesn't apply but if you assume a generous MOE of 4% the last time it was that close between the two was January 14th when the lead was only 4 points.

Now polling can be wrong obviously, it would need to be a much bigger polling error than 2016 for Trump to win if this polling stayed the same, but that's what is is showing at the moment.
