MSNBC's Joy Reid suggests Trump is faking COVID diagnosis to 'get out of the debates'
2020-10-04
[FOXNEWS] MSNBC host Joy Reid raised eyebrows on Friday for suggesting that President Trump was fabricating his coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
diagnosis to "get out of the debates."

President Trump shocked the world late Thursday night when he revealed that he and First Lady Melania Trump had contracted the coronavirus.

However,
a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
hours before it was announced that the president was being transported to Walter Reed Medical Center for a lengthy hospital stay, the "ReidOut" host echoed claims that her "friends" were sending her via text.

"Here’s how wrecked Trump’s credibility is at this point: I’ve got a cellphone full of texts from people who aren’t sure whether to believe Trump actually has covid. 'He lies so much,' one friend just texted. 'Is he just doing this to get out of the debates?' others are texting," Reid tweeted on Friday morning.

Reid was alluding to the fallout from Tuesday's chaotic presidential debate and the growing tensions between the Presidential Debate Commission and the Trump campaign over potential rule changes including allowing moderators to cut the microphones of disruptive candidates.

#14  Way to many people equate Covid with Death.
Trump getting back to work almost right away should change that thinking.

#13  Hey, moron Joy, I suppose President Trump leaving Walter Reed is fake, too? Boy, you MSM'ers continue to reach new lows in idiocy. I suppose if you keep going half way each time, you'll never reach total idiocy.

#12  Don't forget the Guam will tip over comment by Uber Liberal Democrat Rep. Hank Johnson of Atlanta..

BTW: His Metro-Atlanta District voters even re-elected him 4+ more times after that 2010 asinine comment.

#11  The moderators have adulterated the process by becoming 'The News'.

#10  The debates are a waste of time under the current set-up. The debates draw moderators who try to tip the scales in favor of the Dem candidate.

#9  /\ I guess I should have clarified in the MSM, but, no doubt, competition would be stiff with the luminaries you mentioned.

#8  ^ I admit she'd get to the Stupid Playoffs, but I don't think she can hang with the really Elite Stupids like Maxine Waters or Patty ("Osama's Day Care Centers") Murray.

Notice I avoided the B word describing this TV panel of dedicated menopausal whiners

We can all pretty much guess the process this will take ... The Liberals, Socialist and Democrats will break out their Agenda Play and start up.

Since Trump tested Positive it means a few things:

1.) He "could" has been exposed.

2.) It "could" be a False Positive result, which we already know happens about 1 in 4 tests.

3. He is actually infected and developing symptoms over the next few days. The severity to be determined by the C-19 Strain Variant he "MAY" have.

So "IF" he is seriously Infected

What we are waiting to see how bad of case he has. As many of us know the C-19 strain variant ORF1A of February is not the primary strain any longer. As less to much less lethal strain variants like ORF1B, S, ORF3 and other ...-> are now in the mix of strain variants now being found. (https://nextstrain.org/sars-cov-2/)
