Trump: "Those people -- all of those people – excuse me, I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee."
Trump: "As I said on -- remember, Saturday -- we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry, and violence. It has no place in America. And then it went on from there. Now, here’s the thing --"
Trump: "So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly.

Good people on both
Wray Antifa is an ideologue not an atheist
The President has discounted the use of masks and he has quite possibly infected his staff and the secret service and conduct mass infection rallies.
Your quite pathetic.
not an organization
He knew that Hope Hicks had been infected, he had been in close contact with her.
He still went to a fundraiser with his staff and security staff.
The contact tracing is extremely difficult.

It’s Not Clear When Trump Contracted Virus
New York Times:
“It is not yet clear when and how Mr. Trump contracted the virus. The president and the first lady said they had both tested positive hours after one of his closest aides, Hope Hicks, also tested positive. Ms. Hicks received the diagnosis after she began experiencing symptoms on Wednesday while attending the president’s rally in Minnesota. Mr. Trump kept his appearance there to about 45 minutes, roughly half the length of one of his typical rally speeches.
“Early Friday morning, it was still unclear how many other aides who had come into close contact with Mr. Trump had tested positive, but the White House said its medical unit was conducting contact tracing. Top advisers to the president described themselves as in a state of shock and said they expected a number of additional cases among people in Mr. Trump’s orbit. White House officials had hoped to keep the news about Ms. Hicks from becoming public, to no avail.
Washington Post:
“After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event.”
Keep fighting wearing a mask fucked up....Simple protection could have prevented this crisis but you are too big of a man to wear a silly mask because trump did not!!!!!!!! BWAAAAAAPAAAAAA!

Kimberly Guilfoyle, President Donald Trump's top fundraiser, is accused of sexually harassing her personal assistant at Fox News.
In a report for The New Yorker, journalist Jane Mayer reveals that Guilfoyle's former assistant filed a 42-page complaint against her, resulting in an out-of-court settlement that sources valued at over $4 million.
According to The New Yorker's description of the complaint, Guilfoyle subjected her assistant "to degrading, abusive, and sexually inappropriate behavior."
Guilfoyle, who denies the charges, left Fox News in July 2018.

President Donald Trump's top campaign fundraiser, Kimberly Guilfoyle, is accused of sexually harassing her former personal assistant at Fox News, resulting in her departure from the media outlet and an out-of-court settlement of more than $4 million, according to a story published Thursday by The New Yorker.
Guilfoyle, who is dating the president's son, Donald Jr., subjected her assistant "to degrading, abusive, and sexually inappropriate behavior," according to The New Yorker's Jane Mayer, who obtained a 42-page complaint leveled against the former Fox News television personality that reportedly led to her ouster from the network.
In particular, the story, based on the complaint and interviews with current and former Fox News employees, alleges that Guilfoyle forced her assistant to view photographs of male genitalia and required her to sleep over at her home, where she often "displayed herself naked."

BWAAAAAAAAAAA TRY TO KEEP UP CRAMPS.....You are a day late again.....LOLOLOLOLOL
The democrat governor of Virginia has Covid and he is a mask fanatic and doesn't do rallies but does social distance.
Covid is a virus.
It spreads, you can "slow" it but not stop it.
Sweden went without masks or anything else and the country is already back.
Politics don't stop Covid, but sure can prolong it.
According to what I heard on Public Radio, Trump had planned to hold a rally tonight in Florida and tomorrow in Wisconsin.
Those plans are now off, as he and he First Lady stay in isolation for two weeks.
Trump's age and obesity place him in a special danger zone. He takes medicine for high cholesterol, but has been less forthcoming about his general health than other presidents.
It is reported that he and the First Lady are "well" meaning that symptoms have apparently not appeared, or are mild.
People who test positive sometimes are not strongly affected at all. Some are well for a while and then become sick. Some become sick and then improve and then become very sick, as was the case with Boris Johnson who seemed to improve but later had to be placed in an ER on a ventilator.
The line for the wantonly lazy slurper

Trump’s Positive Coronavirus Test Upends Campaign
October 2, 2020 at 6:31 am EDT by Taegan Goddard
New York Times:
“Mr. Trump had already been trailing in the polls to Joseph R. Biden Jr., in part because of his mishandling of a virus that has unsettled the day-to-day lives of voters for over six months. He compounded his difficulties by disregarding and at times belittling the basic precautions, such as wearing a mask, that his health advisers were urging Americans to take to protect themselves.
“Now, though, his personal indifference toward the virus could threaten his own health, the stability of the country and his already dimming hopes for re-election.
“As stock futures fell overnight Friday, strategists in both parties and even senior aides to Mr. Trump said the president would face a harsh judgment from voters for throwing the country into greater uncertainty after one of the most trying years in American history.”
“President Trump revealed early Friday that he and the first lady have tested positive for the coronavirus, throwing the nation’s leadership into uncertainty and escalating the crisis posed by a pandemic that has already killed more than 207,000 Americans and devastated the economy,” the New York Times reports.
“Mr. Trump received the test result after one of his closest advisers, Hope Hicks, became infected, bringing the virus into his inner circle and underscoring the difficulty of containing it even with the resources of a president.
“Mr. Trump’s positive test result could pose immediate difficulties for the future of his campaign against Joe Biden, with just 33 days before the election on Nov. 3. Even if Mr. Trump remains asymptomatic, he will have to withdraw from the campaign trail and stay isolated in the White House for an unknown period of time. If he becomes sick, it could raise questions about whether he should remain on the ballot at all.”
Washington Post:
“Aides said all of his political events will be canceled for the foreseeable future.”
After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event.

Biden to Be Tested This Morning
October 2, 2020 at 7:42 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
According to CNN
Joe Biden is expected to get tested for coronavirus this morning.
“Earlier this week, President Trump and Biden shared the debate stage during the first presidential debate. The candidates did not shake hands with each other and did not shake hands with the moderator. Neither Biden nor Trump wore masks on stage."
Melania wore no mask. Biden's wife did.
"Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event."
oh joy.
the next debate moderator has a history of having Biden's scrotum nestled softly on his chin.

What if Trump like Boris Johnson should become very, very sick and have to go on a ventilator?
The supreme court pick spent lots of time with Meadows yesterday .....who probably should be quarantined due to his contact with Hope.....sure seems the contact tracer is going to be very busy today......Sad so many on the right think this is not a serious virus and will still avoid masks and distancing due to trumps actions....

excellent. since we're all likely to get it anyway we might as well get on with it.
the politicization of this event and the legion of leftists wishing death upon Trump and Melania is as predictable as the sun rising in the east this morning.
good job liberals. you did not disappoint.
i do wonder however exactly what the reaction will be if the Trump's "recover" from this with nary a sniffle. what a way to deflate a narrative.
LOL.

and there it is. the death wish from the pederast that we all knew was coming.
i have never known a "pastor" to ever wish death upon another person until i crossed paths with this piece of shit.
Did I say anything about wishing he would die?

Bloomberg:
Trump’s Covid-19 Diagnosis Reshapes Election a Month From Vote
Donald Trump’s Covid-19 diagnosis has dramatically altered the closing weeks of the U.S. presidential campaign, with the president now facing not only an unprecedented health challenge but also logistical and staffing chaos about a month before Election Day.
Trump’s illness prompted the White House to cancel political events on Friday, including a rally planned outside Orlando, Florida. Campaign and fundraising trips planned for the coming days -- including visits to key battlegrounds including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Nevada -- are expected to be scrapped as the president remains quarantined at the White House.
Trump leans on his in-person political events to raise cash and create enthusiasm among supporters as he tries to make up ground against Democratic nominee Joe Biden, who leads in polls and fundraising in no small part due to the president’s response to the virus now afflicting him.
Trump had hoped to turn the focus of the final weeks of the campaign away from the pandemic and toward his Supreme Court nominee, the economic recovery and civil unrest -- issues where he believes he holds an advantage. But the lack of his signature rallies and the shift in focus away from the very issues that most excite his voters are likely to make it harder to close the gap with Biden, who has held a steady lead of about 7 percentage points in national polls for some time.
Now, the weeks ahead are sure to be dominated by constant discussion of Trump’s health, turning attention back to a pandemic most Americans think he’s mishandled.
His political concerns are only compounded by the immediate risk of the virus to Trump, a 74-year-old now fighting a disease that has killed more than 200,000 Americans since February. Even if the president remains asymptomatic, he’ll be challenged to keep both the public and financial markets calm as he tries to wage his come-from-behind campaign while sequestered in the White House residence.
U.S. stock futures were down about 1% early Friday after Trump said he and his wife had tested positive. The announcement came hours after a Bloomberg News report that Hope Hicks, one of the president’s closest aides, had fallen ill with the virus.
The implications of the president’s diagnosis are also likely to impact his Democratic challenger, beyond inserting a major new variable into an already unpredictable campaign.
Biden will need to decide whether he too should quarantine, after sharing a debate stage with the president just 72 hours before his positive test. While Biden’s campaign didn’t immediately comment on Trump’s infection, they have said Biden is tested regularly and that they would announce if he contracted the virus.
The former vice president is scheduled to travel to Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday to deliver remarks on his economic agenda and then participate in a voter mobilization event. His campaign didn’t respond to a question about whether that trip is still on.
Even if Biden and his team avoided exposure at the first debate, they face the challenge of navigating the historic development as voters across the nation begin to cast ballots. The Democratic nominee will need to strike the right tone, making sure not to appear to revel in his opponent’s illness while continuing to assail the president’s attitude and policies toward the virus.
and there it is. the death wish from the pederast that we all knew was coming.
The single biggest motivation for me to go to the polls is to keep hateful people like him from gaining power.
8:15 AM EDT.
has Biden put a lid on it yet?
LOL.
Liberal conspiracy theory of the day...
Trump is taking the positive covid test to show how strong he is in handling it and contrast it with the feeble Biden.
The left has lost their minds.
Faking
Bloomberg:
In the past, presidents have seen their poll numbers improve in the aftermath of health scares, and the president may be rewarded if voters rally around him. President Ronald Reagan’s approval in the Washington Post-ABC News poll rose 11 percentage points after a failed assassination attempt in his first term.
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson -- who battled the virus in April -- saw a sharp increase in popularity after his diagnosis....
But voters may have a different outlook on Trump, who has flouted the advice of public health authorities. The president seldom wears a mask and he’s defiantly resumed holding large campaign rallies, even when state and local officials have implored him not to. In a Reuters poll released earlier this week, just 41% of voters said they approved of the way Trump was handling the pandemic.
And the president is likely to face criticism for his decision to travel Thursday to New Jersey for a fundraiser at his Bedminster golf course -- despite Hicks testing positive for the virus and displaying symptoms aboard Air Force One the previous night. Despite that exposure, Trump pushed ahead with travel that saw him share enclosed spaces with key staffers.
During their debate, Biden and Trump sparred over precautions including mask-wearing during Tuesday’s debate, with the former vice president calling the president a “fool” and “totally irresponsible” for discouraging preventive measures. Trump responded by mocking his Democratic challenger for being too cautious.
“I don’t wear masks like him,” Trump said. “Every time you see him, he’s got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from me, and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen.”
Trump’s diagnosis could prove especially tricky because of the president’s public messaging about the virus. He has urged Americans to return to work and school, frequently downplaying the risk that any individual will get infected or die. If he and his wife are fortunate and experience no symptoms or mild illness, the president may be further emboldened.
Trump could also face a dilemma over whether to withdraw from the race if his health deteriorates. In 2016 after the release of the “Access Hollywood” tape, senior Republicans investigated the logistics involved replacing Trump with Mike Pence atop the ticket. But more than 30 states have already sent ballots to voters, with more kicking off early voting efforts in the coming days.
Trump’s physician said early Friday he expected “the president to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering,” but the implications of the diagnosis are far-reaching.
It’s unclear but unlikely Trump that can participate in the second presidential debate, scheduled for Oct. 15. The president’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about its plans, but if Trump is forced to pull out of the debate, it could deprive him of one of his final opportunities to highlight his contrasts with Biden before a large television audience.
The president trails Biden by about 7.2 points nationally, according to a RealClearPolitics average of polls. Surveys conducted by television networks following the first, chaotic debate showed that voters viewed the Democrat as the winner.
Bloomberg:
The president’s diagnosis is also expected to have a significant impact on campaign and White House staff, who -- if they follow existing federal health guidelines -- may need to quarantine for the next two weeks.
The president, First Lady Melania Trump, and Hicks traveled with a large cadre of White House and campaign staff to the first presidential debate Tuesday night in Cleveland, with the president and Hicks also attending political events Wednesday in Minnesota.
Those spotted in the president’s company in recent days include campaign manager Bill Stepien, senior aides Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Stephen Miller, as well as top communications aides Jason Miller and Kayleigh McEnany.
“Contract tracing is being done and the appropriate notifications and recommendations will be made,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said.
As I said, the Bloomberg commentary I linked at
7:06am is quite good.
I may as well give you how it ends:
The diagnosis may also hamstring Trump’s ability to raise cash for the final weeks of the campaign, even as Biden’s campaign set another fundraising record in September, surpassing the unprecedented $365 million it raised in August. Trump fell $154 million short of Biden in August, and his campaign has pulled back on television advertising in swing states even as the Democrat fills the airwaves.
Trump has tried to bridge that gap with high-dollar in-person fundraisers. His luncheon event Thursday in New Jersey raised $5 million, according to a Republican official.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tweets:
“We now have two members of the Senate Judiciary Committee who have tested positive for COVID, and there may be more. I wish my colleagues well. It is irresponsible and dangerous to move forward with a hearing, and there is absolutely no good reason to do so.”
Not Wearing Mask May Make Virus Worse for Trump
“President Trump may experience worse symptoms because of his failure to wear a mask,” the New York Times reports.
“Dr. David Nace, a geriatrics expert at the University of Pittsburgh, said in an interview that people who don’t wear masks are exposed to higher concentrations of the virus, which can worsen the course of the disease.”

It's almost like he was just asking for it, isn't it?
White House Staff Frustrated by Lack of Info
Axios:
“Some current and former White House officials have been privately complaining about the reckless attitude internally toward social distancing and mask wearing, feeling they are being put at risk unnecessarily every day when they show up to work.
“The White House has still not adequately explained why Trump went to a donor event in New Jersey on Thursday after learning that one of his closest aides contracted the virus.
“Even some top West Wing aides were left in the dark about the chain of events that started with Hope Hicks feeling symptoms and isolating on Air Force One on Wednesday, and culminated with the president’s 1 a.m. tweet that he had tested positive.”
_____________
They were even going to keep Hicks' infection secret, until they couldn't.
It can't get any worse than this.
Or at least, it never has before.
