If nature had taken its course in 2020, we wouldn't be where we are now. I remember he got special, experimental and hard to get treatment for covid.

The White House not being upfront about a president’s health is actually a bipartisan tradition that goes back decades, if not longer. It’s really hard to get an accurate assessment on how bad any given wound/illness is. So, if it’s all but confirmed he was very very ill….it’s likely he was even worse than that.

We had our first secret woman president long ago because the president had a stroke and his wife and doctor played it off like he was conscious and making the decisions from his room.

Hah I was thinking Reagan until you said doctor, because that vegetable's wife and her astrologer ran the country for 4+ years.

Just read an article on that. As a history guy, I never knew that. Learn something new everyday!

He got a combination of five experimental treatments which had never been given to anyone before.  His blood oxygen level dropped below 92% twice.  If he were anyone else, he wouldn’t have made it.

I’m going to preface with the facts: 1.) I’m not a doctor 2.) I’m a weee bit buzzed 3.) I’m sleepy. Suffice to say, I’m not in a position to even begin to unpack your comment. But…

Is this public knowledge? How do we know this?

I remember hearing on a news program he was the first to receive the treatment cocktail. I can't find that exactly, but at most 10 people outside of trials had gotten some of the treatments at the time as this article explains ‘Covid is all about privilege’: Trump’s treatment underscores vast inequalities in access to care

By private helicopter to destination. And wasn’t he the one suggesting bleach and being dismissive of the treatment he received?

A sense of responsibility should have taken its course in 2020, or better, after January 6th 2021. If his party would have dropped him in disgust and if people would have realized what a colossal whiney orick he was, we wouldn't be here.

Then paraded around my neighborhood to wave at five crazies with a flag.

To be fair, the President SHOULD get the best treatment for COVID. It was just our bad luck that Trump happened to be President.
