Donald Trump, aka Covita, appeared on one of the White House balconies yesterday afternoon for a political rally. This, again, is a violation of the Hatch Act. No president can throw political rallies at the White House or any federal building. The reason why Trump threw himself a Nazi rally at the All-White House was because he is desperate to get back to campaigning. The problem is that he’s likely still testing positive for the coronavirus and he’s likely still shedding the virus, meaning he’s infectious.
The NY Times made a big deal about how the Nazi rally was “uncharacteristically brief.” His staff said he could speak for 30 minutes, which often means he will riff and bluster and lie for 60-plus minutes. But he ended up speaking for 18 minutes. Probably because he was out of breath. He stepped out onto the balcony wearing a mask but he quickly took it off. The hundreds of people gathered on the White House lawn were mostly unmasked as well, although they were tested before they entered the White House complex. Allegedly. Apparently, 2000 invites were sent out but they only got a few hundred people there, and most of the people were actually in DC for Candace Owens’ “Blexit” rally. The Blexit organization (meaning, white guys) paid for travel and lodging for most of the people in attendance at the Blexit rally AND the White House rally. Meaning these dumbasses were paid to be there.
Meanwhile, this part of the NY Times article was chilling:
For days, Mr. Trump has been pressing advisers to let him resume campaigning, and the White House event on Saturday was a compromise from advisers who wanted to delay the president’s re-entry on the campaign trail.
The gathering was also the latest effort by the president to show he was not as sick as news outlets, including The New York Times, reported last weekend, when he was said to have been administered supplemental oxygen. In a Fox News interview on Friday night, Mr. Trump denied that he had experienced any trouble breathing and said he was no longer taking any medications.
In several phone calls last weekend from the presidential suite at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Mr. Trump shared an idea he was considering: When he left the hospital, he wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him, according to people with knowledge of the conversations. But underneath his button-down dress shirt, he would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal as a symbol of strength when he ripped open the top layer. He ultimately did not go ahead with the stunt.
You know why I find this chilling? Because he’s a sick, demented old Nazi and everyone just kind of shrugs and says “actually let’s not find a Superman t-shirt right at the moment, sir.” No one will look at this crazy f–ker and say “you are an unhinged nutjob and I quit.”

How horrifying and hilarious would it be for all of us to watch him slowly unbutton his shirt. Wish he did it.
Totally!
I wish they had let him do it.
Me, too. Damn.
Well after first reading the Lenny Kravitz post and now this one, I’m glad he didn’t do it. The thought of seeing Trump’s torso would be the stuff of a Saturday night horror movie.
Several days ago someone posted that if this was a scripted TV show the writers were too over the top and unbelievable. This is just unbelievable!!!!! He is out of his mind!!!!!!
I cannot wait to VOTE HIS DUMBASS OUT!!!!!
He is crazy and cold as ice!!!!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=basAEz0YlJ4
I wish he had done it! it would have continued to expose the ridiculousness of this man.
2016 – 2020 are to be forgotten but written on to understand how so many fellow citizens could vote for such madness; I know some did it for tax purposes; but this is not worth it! This man is insane!!
We went from Barack to this shit!
What a downgrade!
Counting the days until this nightmare is over.
Superman whips off his suit to reveal the S when he is called to use his considerable powers to help others, not as a show of personal strength. As always, this nitwit grasps only the most rudimentary symbols of human life, and consistently fails to understand them even a little bit. Pitiful.
I’m surprised he didn’t want a Captain America shield too.
And thank goodness a Wonder Woman costume was never considered. He’s as thick as two short planks. Cunning as a gutter rat, lower than a snake’s belly, slipperier than a thrashing eel, more vile than a bucketful of maggots… but still as thick as fog. Or smog, in his case.
And I’m still wondering if he ever really had the virus. He is a pathological liar, an uncontrollable narcissist, a manipulator and a vindictive bastard, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that this was all staged. It’s not hard to grasp that people will agree to all sorts of things when their livelihood Is threatened. Why him, of all people, did he *suffer* the most mild effects of the virus, when he is smack-bang in the most vulnerable age group, and has comorbidity? Why did he, of all people, *recover so quickly* and seemingly without any lasting effects of the virus, or side effects of the meds he was taking, whatsoever? Ok, he may be a bit tired and unsteady, but so are a lot of people his age, especially if they’ve looked after themselves as well as *smirk* trumporumpo. has. Him coming out like this sends the message to his dumb demographic: “See, I told you there was nothing to worry about! I told it was just like a cold! I told you we’d get the drugs to rid ourselves of it! I told you to trust me! See, I was right , all along!” Yep, that’s my skepticism
And, AnnaKist, don’t forget, it’s been leaked that HE AND HIS FAMILY OWN SHARES IN REGENERON, the Covid drug he’s NOW touting!
Yes!!! Brilliantly put.
Over 200,000 Americans are dead from a virus and the President who is supposed to lead the efforts to fight it is plotting stunts like this, ridiculing their deaths. I just can’t.
@LIghtpurple, my question is WHEN he loses on 11/03, what will his rabid base do? Mainstream Republicans will move and wait for 2024, but Trumpsters will riot. I’m more frightened of 11/04, then I am of Election Day.
He truly has no idea that he’s a morbidly obese, weak, sick, old man. And still nobody at the White House has figured out that testing everybody and doing absolutely nothing else will not prevent the spread.
I was on Facebook last night and people were saying that as soon as he left the balcony, people started taking off those blue t-shirts, lol. He’s a dangerous, yet pathetic old man. As for Candace Owens, no words, at least none that I could post on here.
Candace Owens is in it for the money just like all the others who sell out. She’s a dangerous and evil person.
Superman….really? Such delusions. That Orange 🤡 needs to be gone. The damage he’s done will take years to repair and now that the Magat genie has been let out of the bottle, they will not go away quietly. Also, I read Chris Christie was released from the hospital. Again after receiving drugs and therapies only available to the rich. The rest of us just have to suffer and or die from Covid.
Not *just* rich…. CONNECTED.
That miscreant at the bottom of the crowd pic is wearing a hat that says “woke.” I just…….nevermind. I just can’t.
… And the few of the smurf-looking folk who are actually wearing masks are not wearing them correctly. Come on guys, over the mouth AND the nose … do it for Big Ears and the rest of the garden gnomes!
That blue really does invoke the smurfs
Happy to say both my spouse and I voted early yesterday for Biden. F*ck this guy.
Thank you! I received my mail in ballot and will be voting for him. I need to do some research on some of the other issues on the ballot before I send it.
I got an email this morning that my ballot was counted. I voted for Biden.
I’m in the wish they had let him do it camp!
How is it possible that he doesn’t have pneumonia? Could he have really bounced back? In my mind I keep picturing him collapsing in public, and yet he doesnt look bad at all. He says he is medicine free. Is that just a lie? I’m seriously shaking my head at his recovery. Is it real or just a hoax? It isn’t right that so many people have suffered terribly and he seems to have gotten through this.
Most people didn’t get the medical care he got. But yeah, it is odd how so many died or got severely ill from this virus and this piece of sh*t acted like he just had a mild cold. It makes no sense. He has all the risk factors. There is a conspiracy going around that he never had the virus and it was all a big fat lie to make people think the virus is nothing and no biggie so we should just go back to normal. He is evil enough to lie about something like this so who knows…but it’s strange how no one around him seems to be afraid to be near him. The secret service rode in the same car with him. He walked right into the White House with no mask on. Now look at the hospitals and all the PPE and precautions they use when someone has Covid. They put them in isolation and everything yet Trump was walking around as if he had nothing contagious. They had him doing Presidential “paperwork” during his hospital stay. Why would they want a Covid patient touching anything ??? It’s so odd.
If he is faking anything, it’s that he’s not sick. I believe he’s seriously ill and probably collapses in bed once the cameras are off. There are too many other cases at the White House for him to be faking it. They announced two more positives yesterday.
@MsIam
Yes that could also be what is happening. The fact that he hasn’t been isolated is reckless of him. Does he not care about other people? Oh nevermind, we know he doesn’t !
I ask myself the same exact things.
There just seems to be no justice in the world. He is barely human so maybe his species is less affected by the virus.
“No one will look at this crazy f–ker and say “you are an unhinged nutjob and I quit.”
This. I live in DC (so I’m bathed in this sh-t) and I frequently wonder what Faustian deals these people made. Obviously his family is stuck (google Steve Schmidt’s takedown of Trump 10/7 for a good laugh) but for those whose last name isn’t Trump? Their careers are toast.
They couldn’t find a Superman t-shirt big enough to cover his massive gut.
He is probably collapsing when the cameras are off.
I had a moderate case along with the rest of my family from March to beginning of July (it took that long to no longer be sick)
Because I literally had to, I would make dinner every day and I still had to feed my kids all the other meals.
We had a lot of easy stuff, lots of crockpot meals, but I was still cooking.
I had to work in chunks, with periods of rest to gather my strength again.
So I can totally see him manage short 18 minute engagements. Plus he is on much better drugs than we were obviously to get him through it.
They lied about when he got it, but he isn’t out of the danger zone for pnemonia yet that’s week 3-6
And then he is at high risk for all the organ damage and secondary stuff like the clotty blood that is the 2-4 month zone after you “recover”
I still have hope he’s going to get sicker 😈
Kkat- exactly what i thought when I saw this “rally” was so short: he’s too sick to do longer.
I was wondering if his infection was real for a bit, but we saw him gasping. He’s infected.
I think he had it days before he announced and lied. And I think he is lying about being off drugs and oxygen. I know someone who still needs oxygen months after catching the virus.
I’ll be keeping an eye on the longer rallies he’s planning that involve travel. I think those could be too much.
But he’s saying he’s “immune” and has “a protective glow” Nutcase.
They should have gotten him a little cape too. My four year old loves wearing one with his t-shirt to keep it real.
Hahaha – it would have been even better if they also had him jumping off (striking the Superman pose) the balcony dressed up like this at his little WH rally.
The hilarious irony of attempting to use the symbolism of Superman stunt is not lost on me.
Superman’s origin story may have changed over various incarnations over the years, but two key facts have always remained the same:
1. As a baby, his parents made the hard choice to send him to earth to save him from the destruction of his homeland (Krypton). He ultimately grows up, becomes a US citizen, and makes Metropolis (and the World) a better place because of it. Were this a true story in real time, trump’s administration would lock little Kal-El in a cage and call him an “anchor baby”.
2. Clark Kent’s day job is a news reporter; journalism is something Trump discredits on a daily basis and calls “fake news”.
Not an anchor baby. Anchor babies are babies born in birthright citizenship countries to immigrant parent(s). But yes, Superman is an undocumented immigrant and a journalist, so yeah it’s ironic that trump would want to be him.
You are absolutely right. I stand corrected. Though he’d probably use the term “illegal immigrant” because it’s more cruel and divisive than “undocumented immigrant”
You forgot one more important thing about Superman that has been there since the first issue as a consistent core of the myth: he’s completely in love with and devoted to Lois Lane. The best reporter ever devoted to doing her job. He would never be unfaithful to her. The irony of Trump choosing the male superhero who, historically, is rare even along male heroes for being consistently in love with the same strong woman for decades is not lost on me either. Trump could never. He has never. He doesn’t understand that level of love and he treats women like Lois Lane like garage on a consistent basis.
Someone, please explain to me about this 2020 campaign slogan Make American Great Again. WTF? He is the stupid idiot who had four years and made an almost unimaginable cluster f^$k. Does he realize how bad it sounds that he is telling himself to make something great HE is and has been in charge of? I can’t…
Oh this guy. He really is something. I’m not American, so it may not be my place to comment.
Buuuut…
When I think of current comical leaders throughout the world, I think of Putin, Kim Jong-un, maybe Duterte, maybe Bolsonaro. Comical, a joke…but not funny. At all.
[*This guy is right up there.*]
Pathetic excuse for a human being.
My thoughts exactly!
He’s probably not contagious anymore. After 10 days since your symptoms start, you are only still contagious if you have a fever have same or worsening respiratory symptoms. There’s not much point in repeat testing, because the usual test (the PCR test) may stay positive up to 3 months after the patient has cleared COVID.
Oh, and flush this golden turd in November. (my hopes are not up, folks. We are not OK)
😆😆😆
“Don’t cry for me, White Militiaaaaa…“ 😂
This is what happens people when a child is raised without an emotionally available/nuturing parent.
I thought he wanted to just wear the shirt, but act frail then take off the suit to reveal a superman shirt? Jesus what an attention seeking narcissist joke he is
Can’t Melancholia put on a nurse outfit and pay him some attention? We need the Idiot in Chief occupied so that he doesn’t do something awful like accidentally declare war on Puerto Rico. ( he never has understood that they are Americans.) I had hoped that Covid would keep him quiet for a while, but no such luck. In fact, with his dose of steroids on board he is more manic than ever. Have Mercy!
