Much to the dismay of any competent doctor&#8217;s recommendations, Trump returned to the White House the following Monday, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"took off his mask and visibly wheezing and struggling to breathe, declared that people shouldn't fear COVID-19 (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/video\/2020\/oct\/06\/footage-suggests-trump-was-short-of-breath-during-maskless-photo-op-at-white-house-video\" target=\"_blank\">took off his mask and visibly wheezing and struggling to breathe, declared that people shouldn&#8217;t fear COVID-19<\/a>. Over the course of the following week, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Trump has proclaimed that he must be 'immune' (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/trump-claim-covid-19-immunity-transmission-twitter-flag-tweet\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trump has proclaimed that he must be &#8216;immune&#8217;<\/a>, implying himself to be some kind of superhuman. He gave an interview with his favorite ass-kisser Fox Propaganda Network&#8217;s Sean Hannity where<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" he noticeably hacked during the interview (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/10\/09\/media\/trump-coughs-on-fox-news\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\"> he noticeably hacked his way through the interview<\/a>.  Meanwhile, White House doctor Sean Conley trashed any trace of respectability he had left by stating that Trump was symptom free, despite not having tested negative for the virus, and could resume regularly scheduled campaigning events, while <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"most medical experts are crying bullshit (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/trump-claims-coronavirus-immunity-but-science-is-unclear-2020-10\" target=\"_blank\">most medical experts are crying bullshit<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s no way Trump is not contagious, that is if he even had coronavirus in the first place. The whole scenario just doesn&#8217;t pass the sniff test.  But yet <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Trump is out again doing his rallies, completely maskless (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2020\/10\/few-masks-social-distancing-trump-florida-sanford-rally.html\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is out again doing his rallies, completely maskless<\/a>.  His message of not fearing COVID falls woefully flat because 99.9% of people in the United States can&#8217;t be airlifted to Walter Reed and given the same treatment the President gets. If people do end up contracting the disease, most would end up with debilitating hospital bills and possibly permanent health damage. But then again, Trump&#8217;s only concern is about getting elected again, not if Jane and Joe Smith end up getting the virus and paying for it with their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do the Republicans really think they can get away with this tomfoolery? Of course they do!  They&#8217;ve gotten away with it for four years, why wouldn&#8217;t they.  Hell, that&#8217;s been the modus operandi for the GOP the past fifty years: bully their way into doing anything they want and if things go wrong, blame it on the Democrats, who inevitably end up fixing things only for the Republican sheeple to buy the next con the Republicans dish out to them. Rinse and repeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpcoronavirusfearcovid19healthcare.jpg\" alt=\"America's Impeached CEO\/Dictator, petulant man child and coronavirus superspreader, Donald Trump, declares that Americans shouldn't fear COVID-19 despite most not having access to the same medical care that the President does, while 'Doctor' and Republican lackey Sean Conley proclaims the orange skinned megalomaniac to be the perfect human specimen.\" class=\"wp-image-7819\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpcoronavirusfearcovid19healthcare.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/trumpcoronavirusfearcovid19healthcare-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption>America&#8217;s Impeached CEO\/Dictator, petulant man child and coronavirus superspreader, Donald Trump, declares that Americans shouldn&#8217;t fear COVID-19 despite most not having access to the same medical care that the President does, while &#8216;Doctor&#8217; and Republican lackey Sean Conley proclaims the orange skinned megalomaniac to be the perfect human specimen.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Straight from the poetic justice files: recently America&#8217;s Impeached CEO\/Dictator and petulant man child Donald Trump, fresh from being thumped and humiliated at the first and hopefully last Presidential debate of the 2020 election season, announced that he tested positive for coronavirus, this after months of downplaying the virus despite over 200,000 Americans dying from &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/?p=7820\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Trump Sez Don&#8217;t Fear The COVID!&#8221;<\/span><\/a><!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1462,61,2054,60,8,68,85,3,198],"tags":[2070,1745,1575,401,2274,22,2086,2243,2142,958,421,147,914,915,4,9,461,781,2127,663,98,296,2272,19,47,48,2273,694,2089,2271,1391],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7820"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7820"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7820\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7828,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7820\/revisions\/7828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
