[Mme. Defarge]

3. Alec Baldwin,

[Orrex]

2. Some asshole already posted about this

[milestogo]

12. That was 3 days ago.

time to discuss again

[Orrex]

22. I'm happy to discuss it every day

I was simply pointing out that asshole's post.

4. I picked other because they will hide it as long as they can. If he gets sick, he's at

really high risk of death, and I doubt they could pull off denying that was the cause. They might try though. I would expect even putting out fake tweets from him to cover his being incapacitated. But if they then tell us he died suddenly, that will stink to high heaven. There is probably no way they could hope to get everyone involved to keep their mouths shut about it being CV.

5. Of course not. I think he's in the end stage of a long term STD, hasn't acknowledged it, and...

of course continues to deny he has anything. As many times as this scumbag attacks people, I wouldn't be surprised that being one w/ his history and patterns, that he does has a history of STD, of attacks (look at his twitter attacks), of lying (self explanatory), his crazy, so called doctors and their 'pronouncements' of he being one of the most healthiest persons ever (pure BS).

FDR didn't tell people about his polio condition, but people knew about it, but when a STD or the like can possibly affect the thinking of people, it's time to move on, but unfortunately, those surrounding rump are intellectually lacking in any mental abilities what-so-ever and also, according to their extremely narrow mindset, the Country isn't in danger.

6. Other: it would be leaked. n/t

[Cyrano]

7. They won't be able to hide it.

The creature will insist on being put in his own intensive care unit with dozens of Doctors and nurses. His screaming fits will be heard miles away.

[Dave in VA]

8. Stake out Walter Reed

and you will know when it happens.

[Runningdawg]

9. If he died they would fill him full of holes and swear Pelosi shot him.

[Blue Owl]

10. Weekend at Donnie's

n/t

[catrose]

19. Truly. And if he dies--no funeral! Except by Zoom, maybe?

[northoftheborder]

11. Did we ever hear about this year's health check-up?

I certainly didn't read about it.

[2naSalit]

21. He's going to claim that his one

swab test was it for this year. I just hope he gets it and is one of those who just drop dead without warning. And I hope Pants gets it too and it should be so intense that he's intubated and put in a coma.

[DBoon]

13. They will accuse Hillary Clinton of murdering him

If he dies in office from any cause, the right wing conspiracy engine will go into overdrive.

[brooklynite]

14. It won't be possible to hide it.

[tinrobot]

15. The man is a pile of co-morbidities. It will be hard to hide.

If he was strong enough, he might be able to power his way through it.

But his poor health almost ensures he'll wind up in a gold-plated ICU.

[empedocles]

17. 'pile of co-morbidities'

[milestogo]

18. In medical language, he's an impending train wreck.

[GeorgeGist]

16. Not thru any official channel ...

but it will come out. And Donnie will be in no condition to deny it.

[SeattleVet]

20. Only if they think it will get him sympathy and increase his popularity.

I can see an 'extended working vacation at Camp David' in his future.

[DesertRat]

23. No.

They'd say he's "working hard" in the WH, or maybe having "important meetings" at Camp David. Maybe they'd have someone tweet for him. We wouldn't know unless he didn't recover.
