"When he first felt symptoms ... he refused to get tested or seek medical care. He instead began treating himself with a cocktail of Vitamin C, zinc, aspirin and ivermectin". Now his wife is online begging for money for the medical bills.
Give him a Darwin Award - nothing else.
Trump pal, billionaire Paul Singer, buys substantial amount of Twitter to "make changes." Between he and Rupert Murdoch, conservatives will control most press. This is a step to "state run" media.

Trust, like respect, is earned. Trump thinks he just gets to waltz in and pretend everyone respects him (or fears him, or likes him, or whatever delusion he wants). When you are no longer (as a country) as good as your word, you are worth nothing. Decades to repair America.

Here in France you can go to any pharmacy whenever it is open (Saturdays and some weekday evenings included) to get the Covid test for travel or that you must get to work (and pay for yourself if you have refused vaccination).

While the world's leaders address critical global issues at G7, Trump sits crumpled at the table tweeting about Hillary, the media, Donna Brazile, a Rasmussen poll, happy birthday greetings to "Regis" and Sean Connery, and nothing at all about world affairs.
Having a total knee replacement tomorrow here (France) where I don't speak the language & no visitors are allowed due to Covid. Still, the total bill will be half of one month's health ins. premium in the US. Every democracy but the US has nat'l health care. Ain't rocket science.

This is my Uncle Bill. He was a navigator during WWII. His B-17 was hit by a German Messerschmidt off the coast of France. The crew was never heard from again. Bill was 19 yrs old.
