Assassination Attempt - Secret Service - DEI

[ceeboo]

Perhaps the reason for the daily briefings about Reagan had something to do with a punctured lung, emergency surgery, and being in the hospital for almost two weeks. While Trump sent a tweet that he was okay that night, a very short hospital visit, and a public appearance a day later?

Could that be a possible explanation that answers your attempt to compare the two events?

Or maybe Trump's just a dick.

Maybe?

Here is what Trump would do with this question: He would refuse to give the lying press any information and claim he was the champion of the people for not going along with them, when the entire point was to keep the people informed in the first place. You know, so they can make informed decisions.

Do you believe that a lying press exists?

[Kishkumen]

Maybe?

Yeah, you’re right. Definitely.

Do you believe that a lying press exists?

You mean the Lügenpresse?

Do you believe that a lying press exists?

You mean the Lügenpresse?

No, nothing to do with Nazis. I mean the current press in America (MSNBC, CNN, Fox, NY Times, NY Post, Wash Post, etc)

I wasn't expecting this, which makes it pure comedy gold.

Ahhhh... that was a good laugh.

Here’s an example I saw this morning that goes the other way. Donald Trump has released no medical information about the injury he received in the assassination attempt. Press briefings were held every day on Reagan’s health after Hinkley shot him. What is Trump hiding?

Yes, Trump went to a HOSPITAL and was examined by DOCTORS. If the injury isn't serious, why won't he disclose the medical records that say that. This man wants to hold the most powerful political office in the world. We, the people, have the right to know whether the doctors who examined him in the hospital found any other serious medical condition. We have the right to know whether the doctors instructed Trump to wear that huge bandage or whether he's using it as prop. The fact that we are having to discuss this at all is a disgrace. it is a scandal that we are left to guess, with all kinds of conspiracy theories floating around. Trump's campaign could post the medical records with two minutes effort. Why haven't they. isn't it time we held people who want to run the country accountable?

Did you notice the color of that prop? It was white!

Racist dictator!

I’ve seen lots of ER docs and nurses say they would never bandage an ear like he has it bandaged. It wouldn’t require such a visible or unwieldy bandage. That is if the injury as it seems it was.

So either Trump is hiding something, or as I think, using it as a show prop.

Amen, RI!

Why is the bar so high for everyone BUT Trump?

The double standard just kills me. Mike Johnson and others pillory Biden for using a teleprompter even for shorter speeches, and then Johnson can't finish a flipping introduction of a speaker at the GOP convention because his teleprompter failed!

It happens again, and again, and again. Biden needs to reveal everything. Trump doesn't have to reveal anything.

Is this incompetence or just arrogance? Or maybe a combination of the two?
