Biden, who promised a cure and then immediately admitted that was a lie once in office and changed NOTHING from Trumps plan.

"Give me a break man, cmon!"

I bet he was the patient from Heck.

Ex-President Donald Trump had worse symptoms of COVID-19 than the White House publicly acknowledged last fall, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Trump’s blood oxygen level was extremely low ― in the 80s ― according to four unnamed people who spoke with the Times. A blood oxygen level lower than 95% is considered worrisome, and below 90% warrants a trip to the emergency room.

He also displayed a lung condition associated with the virus, called lung infiltrates, that meant his lungs were inflamed and infected with abnormal substances, the Times said.

Trump’s condition deteriorated to the point where officials reportedly believed he would need to be put on a ventilator, despite his attempts to publicly downplay his illness as much as possible.

At the time, it was believed that Trump’s condition had been serious. Doctors said Trump had been experiencing difficulty breathing and had a slight fever, but the White House largely refused to share specific updates about the state of his health.

After then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows attempted to hint at the severity of Trump’s condition, reports emerged that Meadows had enraged the president.

Trump announced that he and his wife, Melania Trump, had contracted the coronavirus in early October, writing on Twitter that the pair would “get through this TOGETHER!” Melania Trump said in a tweet sent in the early morning hours of Oct. 2 that both she and her husband were “feeling good.”

Trump was flown to Walter Reed Medical Center that evening.

“President Trump remains in good spirts, has mild symptoms, and has been working throughout the day,” the White House said in a statement released at the time. “Out of an abundance of caution, and at the recommendation of his physician and medical experts, the President will be working from the presidential offices at Walter Reed for the next few days. President Trump appreciates the outpouring of support for both he and the First Lady.”

At age 74, he represented a demographic at risk of the virus’s most severe symptoms.
