If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

For a guy who’s not defending him, you spend a lot of time doing it and denying it.
Anyway, it is a basic, crucial question and one the White House refuses to answer: When was President Donald Trump’s last negative test for the coronavirus before he tested positive? If anything, dodging the question makes people suspicious that there’s something to hide. Surely the safest strategy is to release that bit of information, which is nothing compared to the flood of data which has been released about his health, and stop any further speculation.
Protect me from my friends, I'll deal with my enemies.

Why is that such a "crutial" question? If those he was in contact with are notified, why does it matter SO MUCH to you exactly? I just don't see why it is such a burning question other than to use the answer in one way or another to bash the man even more than is done regularly. No matter WHAT he answers it is going to be wrong so why bother? If he is keeping the information from those who were in contact with him then yea big problem. Keeping it from people who want to do nothing but use it to bash him is his own choice. See the difference? Why not bash him for things he REALLY does? Lord knows there is PLENTY OF THAT and it gets buried under a mountian of this nonsensical stuff.

I have to pay for his helicopter, doctors, Regeneron, etc. I have a total right to know whether he is physically fit and able to do the job; or for that matter to resume the job in January.

"However, Trump has repeatedly followed up on his pledge to donate his presidential salary."
https://www.snopes.com/news/2019/12/13/p......onation/ Then, regarding protected travel, a bit of a different story, perhaps: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/paying-p......45572927 https://thehill.com/homenews/administrat......00-trips Apparently, his doctor has stated tonight there's no longer evidence of viral replication on his tests. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/presiden......73544866 |

Donating a check changes nothing. It doesn't mean that he can then avoid public scrutiny and responsibility. Wouldn't that be wonderful for him if that were true.
""the administration will not provide details about the cost of travel and security." This is not optional in a republic. This is not a private corporation that he heads. This is the public's money and we have a right to know how every cent is spent. If anyone doesn't think that, then we may as well throw in the towel and get King George back in there.

I see. One of them "on a need to know basis" things is it. Like one of them James Bond films.

I was just putting some information on the table, Jack. His salary, at least, seems to be going to charitable causes. The information about travel and security may play in his detractors' favour.
From the viewpoint of an individual paying his salary, what does that wage rate work out to? https://www.businessinsider.com/how-much......-2016-11 Of course, I suppose this all plays into the income tax situation... And wabout those other presidents you're still paying? |

There's this, too:
https://www.closerweekly.com/posts/does-......-156689/ Seems a bit of a mess. Hence my position on the dollar. And politics. *"wabout" should read "what about". |

Got you, Laurie.
Re First Lady pensions: "The widow of a former president is entitled to a $20,000 annual pension. However, to receive it, she must relinquish any other pensions or annuities. Neither Nancy Reagan nor Betty Ford received the first lady’s pension because they declined to relinquish other pension benefits." https://protectpensions.org/2017/02/20/m......pension/ So I guess I'm off the hook for that one.
