MSNBC’s Joy Reid is claiming that President Trump is far sicker than he is letting on, saying he looks like “a very sick elderly man.” This is a completely different story after last week when she alleged that the President was faking his Coronavirus diagnosis in an effort to avoid the debates. Reid even went so far as to compare President Trump’s Coronavirus timeline with that of Herman Cain who tragically passed away from this virus in July.
Reid shared the following tweet from Tim O’Brien in an effort to draw comparisons between Trump and Cain’s COVID-19 timeline.
A humbling Herman Cain/coronavirus timeline:
6/24: Attends Trump rally, maskless
7/2: Tests positive for Covid-19
7/10: Says he’s improving
7/15: Says his doctors seem happy
7/27: Says he’s really getting better
7/30: Dies— Tim O'Brien (@TimOBrien) October 5, 2020
In a report from Fox News:
Reid suggested that Trump “appeared to be laboring” when breathing as she played doctor and claimed the president didn’t look healthy.
“At one point he put his hand on his diaphragm, like he was wincing in pain. He was trying to look like a tough guys but he looked, quite frankly, like a very sick elderly man with a lot of makeup on. That’s what he looked like to my eye,” Reid said.
NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck wrote that it seemed like Reid was rooting for the president to die.
Is Joy Reid hoping that President Trump dies? It sure seems like it,” Houck wrote. “Joy Reid gloats about the Herman Cain timeline from when he attended the Trump rally to testing positive to when he died, boasting that his life could be in danger.”
Reid should stop trying to play doctor and get back to reporting actual facts instead of her own sad conspiracy theories. President Trump was admitted to Walter Reed hospital out of an abundance of caution and was released 72 hours later. The President has even said how great he feels and doctor Sean Conley reported the President has “no symptoms” of the virus anymore.
