You have to understand: Trump got top-of-the-line treatment that most people can only loving dream of and he seemingly got in on time. Yes, he's an absolute loving monstrous rear end in a top hat and I have no doubt he tried to infect Biden given what we now know about the timeline of when he got it. Nothing is going to happen to him due to that callous bullshit because lol the senate.

He's also probably high as a loving kite on steroids, though, so:
  • If he keeps taking them (likely, given all the yes-men around him), poo poo will get really bad really soon (see more here for people who at least seem to put it in legible layman's terms)
  • Even if they wean him off the steroids treatment, the comedown is going to be an absolute bastard. Like that might require another treatment in and of itself. And getting treatment for steroids absolutely shreds healthier people.

The funniest thing about all this, is that he'll probably end up with the only believable case of Wiesenthalitis in the history of authoritarian shitheads

People shouldn't be lowkey lamenting Trump getting better. Dying of COVID, while poetic and good for a laugh, would have been far, far too good for him. For Trump to have escaped an ego shattering election loss on live television and the glistening jaws off all that is waiting for him on the other side of that election loss, while at the same time ascending to martyrdom in the eyes of his cult of weirdos, just at the last minute before he's finally made to pay all that he owes after decades of staying barely one step ahead of the devil in every form, would have been the ultimate act of Trumpian failing upwards. A COVID death would have been such a supreme gift to him, that God really may have been real.

But no, Trump deserves to stay alive and healthy enough to experience the next several years, because every week after January 22nd for the rest of his life is going to be mutherfucking Shark week.

No, I wanted very much that he'd live in a state of semi-consciousness just long enough to watch his own defeat, and then die slowly and painfully of the pandemic he caused thereafter.

If we're talking about hypotheticals, I'm not willing to gamble on him actually being sent to prison. I'll take his painful death via COVID on November 10th over the possibility of him somehow wriggling out of the grip of the justice system in the coming years.

Well the biggest problem is that loving nobody on his medical team has been verifiably honest about when he got infected, what circumstances led to his infection and when he became asymptomatic (IF he became symptomatic)

So anywhere between the next twenty four hours and five days from now

well, when that poo poo happens with me. you slowly decrease the dossage and poo poo. usuualy about 10 days or a week or such. my guess is he is probably near the end of his treatment and they will ween him but i am not a doctor or anything. just a shitposter who hasnt eaten a ban yet.

Actually, instead of going through all the trouble of making a "Downfall" style movie about the reign of President Donald Trump, they should just re-release the Super Mario Bros movie. Of all the movie villains that were thinly-veiled Trump impersonations over the years, King Koopa of Dinohattan may be the spookiest. It's Dennis Hopper doing an eerily perfect imitation of 2016-2020 Donald Trump, and he did it in 1993.

i've never supported trump dying right away, because as you said, that would be too good for him. i want him (hell, NEED him) to be in constant pain, so hosed up that he has to rely on a wheel chair strapped to an oxygen tank at all times. he needs to be seen as a warning to his idiot voting base that their orange god is just as mortal and fat as any of them. he needs outright complete and utter suffering and humiliation.

my disappointment is not that he hasn't dropped dead by now, it's that in the more recent speeches he's made, it doesn't seem like he's having breathing difficulty. is it cause he's still riding high on the steroids and all that other poo poo his doctors gave him? probably. but what if it's not? and the fucker really is getting better and will be back to his normal, pudgy orange self in a matter of no time? :smith:

The thing is, living with the daily shame of defeat and being revealed as a broke, pathetic con man is far worse for a malignant narcissist like Trump, who practically feels physical pain at the idea that people don't like him, than any physical death could ever be.

The emotional abuse Trump has coming his way after the election is only beginning, 5 minutes after he leaves the oval for the last time everyone down to the white house dog walker is going to have a book deal dunking on him endlessly, and that's his worst nightmare, it's like the lady who told the Africa/Aids joke on twitter then got on a cross country flight to find out 13 hours later that she was one of the most hated people on the internet. For narcissists that kind of pain is multiplied a thousand fold.

She was photographed officiating some idiot’s wedding right before she died and everyone called her (the idiot who had RBG officiate) out for being such a loving idiot. If it turns out that RBG died from getting COVID there then my personal opinion goes from “drat it, she died” to “gently caress you RBG for being so loving careless and also gently caress that idiot who had her officiate.”

We have no idea what his course of steroids is. He might already be off of them, if the doctors are responsible and he's listening to them (heh). A standard course of dexamethasone for COVID-19 is apparently 10 days and he's beyond that now. Seems likely he'd need to taper off that to avoid a huge crash but it's possible the doctors already had him tapering

Withdrawal kicks in like 24-48 hours or even faster, it's pretty quick and brutal. He'd likely be exhausted, feel really miserable and depressed, and likely have incredible joint pain and swelling. Assuming he just went off high dose steroids cold turkey.
