You do understand that the majority of people, even older people, who get covid-19 suffer only mild sumptoms, right? Even a fat guy of his age has better than a coin flip of just shrugging it off. If you'd like to consider it a hoax, the most likely explanation is that he is positive for covid, and also totally fine, and going to the hospital was all for show.
That's underselling it a little: closer to rolling 1 on a conventional 6-sided die just to have to be put in an ICU, never mind die.

His secretary has the kung flu. How long unti his adminstration is contaminated?
You mean moreso then it already is?

If he truly has tested positive, then he should be forced to stay in the hospital. Trumps SUV jaunt just shows that he lacks the discipline to physically isolate himself away from his fawning sycophants for another week. Once discharged he will just declare himself as 'cured' and carry on as normal, potentially spreading covid throughout the White House, and quite possibly to members of the US public.
Is it terrible that I have to ask the question "If the entire white house was in the ICU and/or dead from Covid, would anyone really notice at this point?" Aside from the lack of Twitter Screaming from the Trump account? I mean, we are presupposing we have a functioning government prior to this, which is debatable.

I was gonna ask who would pay $100 for this but then I realized I already know the answer.

Seriously, if I were hurting for money, I'd be printing all sorts of Trump shit and finding the nearest MAGA....anything to hawk the shit. I'm pretty sure I'd clean up no time.

I'm kinda surprised I didn't hear about kick starter for trump after his tax returns came out and it sounds like hes much poorer then advertised. Not poor like actual people, but I can totally see just the thought he doesn't have the billions he likes to brag about being something someone would make a stupid kickstarter for, like that scam wall.

He should but he's not and I don't think anyone in the WH has learned shit from this(at least anyone that matters, Staffers are apparently pissed). They weren't following the prooctols before and I doubt they will now.

We can only hope he gives Pence and Mitch a big hug and maybe a sloppy wet kiss upon his return to the White House. Share the love.

On a more serious note, we'll see soon enough if he's gravely ill or dead. I don't think they hand out Steroids for shits and giggles at Walter Reed, especially for the President. OTOH, apparently Alex Jones is already saying the Doctors are trying to off him, because of course he is.

If the President is able to fulfill his presidential duties, then why shouldn't he allowed back in the White House? It's not like CDC recommendations are laws.

But is he? If his condition is so bad they're giving him Steriods and they had to put him on Oxygen at least twice so far, he probably should keep his happy ass in the Hospital.

Lest, I don't know, he gets worse, dies, infects others, etc. Those Guidelines are there for a damn good reason, even if they aren't legally binding.

Knowing him though, he probably wants to go to another Rally tomorrow or something. Pack'em in so they can all bask in high glory.

One only hopes Joe Biden's campaign is insisting on a plexiglass shield(an airtight bubble around Trump would better, arguably) for the 2nd debate if it ends up happening.

Are there any laws against casually spreading a plague? I mean I would assume he could at least be held liable for such actions... once hes out.

Aren't they?

In my country if you are placed into quarantine for exposure or confirmed infection, it is breaking the law to break that quarantine period.

So I wake up this morning and turn on the news to see this walking disaster of a human being saying shit like "don't be worried about Covid-19...we have the best health care in the world, you'll be fine".

Yes...if you're the President of the USA. Other people may not be lucky enough to hold that position in life. Or rich enough to pay for the very best health care money can buy.

Can't anyone shut this fucking idiot up for a week. Please.

He can fulfill his duties. He probably cant do that in the White House, unless the White House is vacated. He's physically removed from his aides, but he should still have access. This is what Zoom is for. (Possible exception would be anyone else infected could probably work physically with him in my books. But the CDC might have other ideas.)

I don't think anybody's job entitles them to put employees at unnecessary risk of ill-health.

To an extent, all the bigwigs in the White House can decide for themselves - assuming of course they also isolate. Although given the past record of the elites in the USA, UK and other places I don't fancy the chances they will. Take Rand Paul: met someone infected, suspects he might therefore be infected and takes a test, and whilst waiting for the result goes to the Senate gym to splatter his covid-19 germs all over the place despite being in a workplace full of old men who are therefore high risk. He's got a medical degree, for heaven's sakes, how can he not know better? We'd put our medical students up before a fitness to practice hearing for that sort of stunt.

I'm more bothered about people like the cleaning staff, plenty probably on about $10 an hour. They shouldn't have to put up with that. Whilst their workplace is swilling with infection, they should be allowed to sit at home on full pay and they can come in again in a few weeks when it's clear.

Some basic respect for other people shouldn't be so hard to expect.

He could fulfill his duties from the hospital. He had an office there.
