As I said... not the details, the broad strokes.

I am saying that the "details" that are different are the ones that make it tremendously unlikely it's a hoax, because they would be directly harmful to the message the hoax would be trying to convey There'd be no reason to be get in the damn helicopter and go to the hospital

Except if you wanted to create more
#TrumpTheater in order to make the narrative that the virus isn't serious, that the drugs absolutely work, that everything is fine, and that the MSM is 100% lying.... from that perspective, it makes PERFECT sense to hoax.3 replies 0 retweets 5 likes -
How does sending him off in a helicopter support that narrative? All outward signs indicate that Trump is taking the disease quite seriously, or at least way more seriously than he would if he were trying to sell the disease being weak.

The way it works is: "OMG, the virus!" reaction. Then a "Look, all is well! The virus isn't even serious." It's a shell game, and a rather convincing con, not unlike a few of the ones PT Barnum famously pulled.

It can't possibly work that way because even if Trump makes a full recovery everyone will remember that he did so by taking an extremely expensive experimental drug that he only got because he's the President

Like, if the whole thing were a "hoax", they would just leave out that detail If it were a hoax then he can't possibly have REALLY used the drug -- who the fuck would actually inject experimental chemicals into themselves for a hoax?! -- so why the hell would you write that in

If you had the power to just make shit up then why wouldn't you just say it was hydroxychloroquine That would literally be the obvious perfect ending to the story, but it's not there, it's missing

You're thinking too much like someone who gives a damn. He doesn't. And I'm sorry for upsetting you. It's really obvious to me that the point is lost on you. I'll stop.

I know he doesn't give a damn, which is why he would not go to the effort to set up any kind of "hoax" If he disrupts his daily routine enough to fucking go to the hospital, it's because he had no other choice but to go to the hospital

Do you understand that the person in this conversation trying to bend the facts to make COVID-19 seem less serious than it is is YOU
