In addition to the SOB (shortness of breath, son of bitch, whatever), he was desperately trying to stifle a cough.  He really wanted to breath through his mouth to get a full breath, but he knew he would cough if he did.  IMHO. 

I was thinking the same thing. This man has obviously not even has a cortizone shot before. I had one for some really persistent shoulder pain and I fucking felt like superman afterward. The doctor even made sure to tell that I would feel that way and to not do anything stupid and screw up my shoulder more. It was…

He did respond and then Trump tried to deflect:

Trump retweeted someone today (though I can’t find it now for some reason) saying he should receive a Purple Heart for his bravery in this “war” on COVID.

When Joe Biden was Vice-President, we had a President.

So much empathy and so much experience that the White House is not doing any contact tracing for the Rose Garden event.

Yep! Not a doctor myself, but as someone who has to take courses of dexamethasone regularly, this definitely seemed like a steroid “surge,” given the timing of the joyride, and his “I feel better than I did 20 years ago.”

When Joe Biden was Vice-President, we had a Pandemic Response team.

She’s missing some logic: Joe Biden does have experience fighting the coronavirus as an individual: HE WEARS A MASK SO THAT HE DOESN’T CONTRACT IT!!! This is the best covid-fighting experience one can possess.

[CUT TO: INT. Donald Trump signs his name to blank sheets of paper for a photo op.]

It took Herman Cain 28 days to die after his positive test. He tweeted 3 days before he died that he was really feeling better!

Its why they’ve refused to actually disclose anything negative and say he’s doing great, you ain’t doing great with this virus if you’re in the hospital.

It’s a cult. They can’t think logically where he is concerned. My neighborhood forbids lawn signs except during the 30 days before an election. A bunch of Trump signs appeared like clockwork on Oct 3rd. Now I know the houses to avoid at all costs if we ever have an emergency.

Trump’s artificial stamina will be flattening as he withdraws from the dexamethasone steroid (6 times as powerful as prednisone) that propelled him into his joyride. Either that or he’ll stay pumped up on a very dangerous drug and get crazier by the minute.

I’m honestly disappointed that none of the adult kids or their partners have tested positive. Jared doesn’t have enough meat on his bones or blood in his body to survive the flu, let alone coronavirus.

Hope Claudia doesn’t have a serious case and fully recovers.

“the side effects of dexamethasone may include dizziness, agitation, mood swings, and hallucinations.”

They are cutting out his coughs and I got 20 he ordered it due to ego....check out the bad edit after “therapeutics”

Fuck him so much.  At this point I’m surprised his Secret Service detail hasn’t quit in protest.  Their job is to take a bullet for him, not from him.

Like I noted above, using something like dexamethasone on a covid patient who isn’t severely or critically ill can actually work against their recovery as the drug might suppress their immune system’s ability to fight the virus. Using it on someone who’s “doing very well” seems like it would be very risky!
