He knows the MSM will salivate over it which places them in a strange dichotomy; they appreciate Trump's exhibitionism because he's getting them more clicks and eyeballs than they ever would with doddering Biden - or a Republican candidate they could control at will in the past, but at the same time it conflicts with their deep-seated bias. The news and pundit people hate him, corporate loves him.

We enjoyed peace and prosperity until the pandemic brought the whole world down. The craziness is rooted in the left's attempt to create a (failed) narrative of unrest by burning and rioting. The fact their candidate didn't win in 2016 after it was all but promised to them coupled with the unmasking of the deep state and the MSM fully out of the closet and exposed has driven them to new heights of insanity. Especially since they can't make anything stick to Trump after going through their overused playbook of character assassinations for the umpteenth time.

Trump has three nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. How much do you see of that in the MSM? Very little, of course. But if it were one of their own it would be inserted into their daily news headers along with a 'Nobel Peace Prize watch'. They must try to control the narrative.

It's all perspective. The left will use their extensive media resources to attack and persuade. Reasonable people see it for what it is.

This is a pile of crap. He put on that triumphant return to the White House show, after his tour for his supporters while still a patient at Walter Reed, as a show of strength. A pathetic attempt to keep himself in  the spotlight, to show the world the virus didn't "dominate" him. Climbing the stairway alone, dramatically removing his mask to show the world that he was gasping for breath. All this while needlessly endangering everyone around him. And if he was trolling the MSM, how do you think the families of 210,000 dead Americans feel about that? Did their loved ones get helicoptered to Walter Reed hospital, where they were in a 4 room suite being cared for by a team of our top doctors (well, one bumbling Osteopath) and given experimental treatments? Or anyone else still feeling the affects of a virus they contracted months ago. Did they get to leave isolation to wave to their loved ones? He was making a [BLEEP] campaign ad.

Trump has done plenty to deserve every bit of scrutiny he's received, before and after the election. the problem is nobody reads beyond what they are told by the news outlet they trust to read. He tried grifting his family, squandered so many millions (maybe billions) on failed business ventures that no reputable bank would loan him money so he turned to the Russians. Eric said it out loud. But you and others just cover your ears and chant FAKE NEWS over and over so you don't have hear it.

Doddering Biden? Now who's buying into the Fox nonsense? He was sharp and focused at his recent town hall, and clearly the adult on the debate stage. 

I'm fairly certain you and the other Trump apologists will label me as having TDS. Whatever, I'll refer you to FBT's signature. After Trump leaves office and no longer has AG Cohn...err...Barr to cover his [BLEEP], the facts will come out. I'll be waiting, doubtlessly in vain, to hear Trumpettes accept the truth.

OH bull [BLEEP].

He was a patient at Walter Reed because of his position, not because of his condition.  Do you honestly think he made the choice to go there?

While in the hospital much of the MSM was breathlessly awaiting news that he was on a ventilator and that his condition was "dire".  It didn't happen.  I saw a montage where they were saying that he is "clinically obese" which is false.  He is in his 70's and over weight, but by no means "obese", yet that's what the liberal MSM kept calling it.

From the little that has been released, he was not given anything more than anyone else would have gotten.  He didn't get some "secret, special experimental miracle" drug.

When he arrived home (The White House) he was not "gasping for breath".

His message was right on target.  We should not live in fear by shutting down the economy or not going about our daily lives.  Guess what?  Next year it's not only going to be "flu and cold season" it's also going to include COVID.  It's not going away and it's not an immediate death sentence to get it.
