The president’s transfer to the Walter Reed Medical Center hospital comes less than a day after he announced his diagnosis. First lady Melania Trump also tested positive for Covid-19, but is not as serious as the president.
As I write this, President Trump is being airlifted to Walter Reed Medical Center on Marine One out of an "abundance of caution' should his symptoms grow worse quickly. When you consider the optics of what this move represents, an incapacitated president, you start to think that the president is probably a lot sicker than what they are telling us. They wouldn't be doing this otherwise. I have said on multiple radio shows recently that, in my mind's eye, I don't see President Trump past November, I really want to be wrong about this. Please pray for the president's health and safety, I am thinking he really needs it right about now.
"And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him." Daniel 2:21,22 (KJB)
This crazy, endlessly insane year of 2020 feels like it is not only not retreating any time soon, it feels like things are heating up and growing more intense. One thing is for certain, everything we have known up to now is changing rapidly, and we are entering, or rather have entered, a very different paradigm than any of us are used to. The 'crazy year' that couldn't possibly get any crazier is expanding in both strength and scope. It is very telling that the First Lady is not being taken to the hospital. Is it possible that Donald Trump has done everything the Lord gave him to do regarding Israel and the Jews, and the reason for his presidency has now concluded? I have no idea, but right now, it's a pretty good asking for bible believers to be asking.
NBC, citing three people familiar with his condition, reported Friday afternoon that President Trump has a low-grade fever.
FROM CNBC: Trump was seen wearing a mask as he departed the White House shortly after 6:15 p.m. ET and walked toward his helicopter, Marine One. He waved to the press but did not stop for questions. The move, which appears to mark an escalation in the efforts to treat the president, is being made “as a precautionary measure,” a senior administration official told NBC News.
“President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement to reporters at the White House.
“Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady,” McEnany said.
The president’s transfer to the medical facility comes less than a day after he announced his diagnosis. First lady Melania Trump also tested positive for Covid-19.
Earlier Friday afternoon, the White House physician said Trump was “fatigued but in good spirits.” The physician, Dr. Sean Conley, also said Trump, 74, had been given an experimental antibody cocktail treatment, and was taking several nutritional supplements as well.
Conley said the first lady, who turned 50 earlier this year, “remains well with only a mild cough and headache.” The president announced his diagnosis on Twitter early Friday morning. He has since stayed off the social media platform and out of sight, with White House officials providing few updates about his health throughout the day. NBC, citing three people familiar with his condition, reported Friday afternoon that Trump has a low-grade fever.
The diagnosis has raised questions about the continuity of government if the president is incapacitated. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., who is second in line after Vice President Mike Pence to assume the duties of the presidency, said earlier in the day that the “continuity of government is always in place.”
White House communications director Alyssa Farah assured in a statement to NBC on Friday that “the president is in charge” and that power has not been transferred to Pence.
“It’s not necessarily an indication the president’s condition has worsened. I think that prudence would want to put him into a place where you have access to facilities, in case his condition does change,” former FDA chief Dr. Scott Gottlieb told CNBC. “What we’ve seen with patients who are older, with Covid, is they can decompensate very quickly and so it could be that they want to have him in a facility that if, God forbid, he does get worse quickly, they can have medical resources available,” Gottlieb said.
