One idea Trump considered while still at Walter Reed was wearing a Superman T-shirt under his dress shirt as he left the hospital.

The part where he wanted to "appear frail at first" shows just how much he understands appearances and is willing to go to any lengths to manipulate the media. He could have decided to "appear frail" for the emergency ride to Walter Reed.

The other option is that he knew he was positive for a while and was keeping it to use at the right time. When he didn't get the sympathy bump he was expecting he turned on a dime to the magical recovery storyline.

The timing of the diagnosis was suspect coming off the disastrous debate and the tax storry.

The reality is that every thing that comes out of the white house is suspect.

Is this why they will not tell when he supposedly tested positive? Hope was diagnosed & he decided he & Melanie would play the part???? Also, everyone points to the first balcony appearance & him sucking air---well, that's from climbing the steps because he is morbidly out of shape. We have been conned but those suspicions make things even worse for the moron😠
