Trump gives a thumbs up as he walks to Marine One to be airlifted to hospital for COVID treatment: President releases video reassuring Americans he is 'doing well' as son Eric asks 'pray for my dad' and White House says he IS staying in charge 

President Donald Trump, who tested positive for the coronavirus, gave a ‘thumbs up’ as he walked from the White House to Marine One to be airlifted to Walter Reed Military Medical Center this evening. The President is being admitted to hospital for tests ‘out of an abundance of caution’. He is expected to remain in hospital for ‘a few days’. In a video message posted to Twitter, the President said: ‘I want to thank everyone for the tremendous support. I’m going to Walter Reed hospital, I think I’m doing well, but we’re going to make sure things work out. The First Lady is doing very well. So, thank you very much, I appreciate it. I will never forget it.’ Trump and the First Lady Melania Trump announced they tested positive in the early hours of Friday morning and at the time were self-isolating at the White House. Melania, who tweeted that she has ‘mild symptoms’ has not been taken to hospital with the President. On Friday evening, Eric Trump tweeted that his father ‘is a true warrior’ and asked Americans to ‘join me in praying for his recovery’. Earlier today, Trump’s physician said he was treated with a single dose of Regenron’s experimental polyclonal antibody cocktail. He added that the President was ‘fatigued but in good spirits’.

Trump has NINE days to overturn his election loss as Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan prepare to certify their results and his campaign keeps filing lawsuits claiming rampant voter fraud

President Trump is running out of time to implement his plan to overturn the results of the election as key battleground states that determined the outcome are set to certify a win for Joe Biden.

 

I am not dead, Mr Trump!': Voter, 94, who the president confused with her deceased husband speaks out - as it's revealed second voter he said was dead didn't take part in election

Two of the four 'dead people' the Trump campaign accused of having voted in Georgia have been found alive and well, having voted entirely legally. One was a widow using her husband's name: the other has the same name as a dead person, but a different date of birth and zip code. Georgia was called for Joe Biden on Friday, but a manual recount will be carried out given the slim margin of victory. Biden won by 14,000 votes, or 0.3 per cent.

Trump administration will start selling licenses to drill in Alaska's Arctic wilderness and plan to have auction complete before Biden is sworn in

The Bureau of Land Management said it will Tuesday officially open a 30-day period to accept nominations and comment on some 1.6 million acres in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

 

Not something I am happy about but unless we move away from oil then they will still need to find some, tragic for the wildlife, good for jobs, guess it depends on which side of the fence you are on when it comes to environment distruction verses keeping the wheels turning in a society that is extremely dependant on oil.

 

In the time since the U.S. presidential election was called in favor of former Vice President Joe Biden, President Donald Trump’s words and actions have raised fears among some observers that he might refuse to relinquish power. Constitutional law scholars say there are protections in place to ensure that every president must leave office when his or her term is up—and if those protections were to fail, the country would be facing a much bigger, constitutional crisis.

 

Although the electoral certification process technically is still ongoing, Biden has emerged the clear winner from the state-by-state vote tallies. Every candidate in modern elections who lost by this wide a margin had conceded by this point. (Formal concessions didn’t become an election custom until 1896, when Republican William McKinley defeated Democrat William Jennings Bryan.)

 

Trump has so far refused to concede, and his campaign has filed more than a dozen lawsuits in several key battleground states while making unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud; many of the suits are based on such thin evidence that they have already been dismissed.

(No modern presidential candidate has refused to concede. Here’s why that matters.)

While a defeated president’s refusal to step down would be unprecedented in American history, anxiety over how to keep a president’s power in check dates as far back as the 1787 Constitutional Convention. “That was a source of tremendous discussion and concern,” says Rick Pildes, professor of constitutional law at the New York University School of Law.

 

I thought you would be interested in this story I found on MSN:       

 

Here s what happens if a U.S. President refuses to leave office http://a.msn.com/01/en-au/BB1bbgaR?ocid=se  

 

This is so one sided for Biden, what about the other side of the view so we get some balance?. Lets just wait until the law sorts out the crooks if there are any (and if they get away with it). There are both good and bad sides of Trump AND Biden, but no one is talking about the good of Trump or the bad of Biden, strange that.

You are a Trump Fan I can hear that Incognito!!

I don't have either side, I just wish the US would create a new Party that is spreading the votes a bit further.  

No not a fan of either, wish there was another choice too lol. I agree with a few things Trump has done but I disagree with some he hasn't, I am hestitant to trust Biden because he is a long term politician and his connections are questionable, time will tell I guess, glad I don't live in the US is all I can say.

Veterans claim Trump is behind Pentagon's controversial proposal to bury presidents who didn't serve in the military at Arlington to make sure he is laid to rest at cemeteryPentagon faces backlash over proposal to allow non-veteran presidents to be buried at

A Pentagon proposal to allow presidents and vice presidents who haven't served in the military to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery has been blasted by veterans.  Some military members are expressing opposition to the potential plans, claiming it is an attempt by President Trump to ensure that he will be laid to rest at the famous cemetery when he eventually passes away.  Back in September, the Defense Department sought feedback on potential plans to restrict who could be buried at Arlington, saying that they were fast running out of space

 

 US coronavirus: Doctors warn US will see 'darkest days' after Thanksgiving | Daily Mail Online

 

'U.S. is going to see darkest days in modern medical history': Doctor's dire warning as 95% of country sees 'uncontrollable COVID-19 spread' and 50 MILLION travel for Thanksgiving - with 17% spike hitting California in just 24hrs

The daily death toll across the country spiked to 2,297 yesterday, which is the highest number of deaths per day since

May and the second day in a row where fatalities have surpassed 2,000 

There were 181,490 new cases recorded yesterday alone and the number of infections has consistently been well above 100,000 every day for the last three weeks Hospitalizations have been surging to record highs over the past month with nearly 90,000 patients being treated as of yesterday 

Doctors in parts of the country have warned that hospitals are already overwhelmed and are nearing capacity in some states Dr Joseph Varon, chief of staff at United Memorial Medical Center in Houston, Texas said the current surges mean 'America is going to see the darkest days in modern American medical history' While the Midwest continues to be the hardest hit, California saw a 17 percent spike in cases in 24 hours and New York recorded it deadliest day since May with 67 fatalities The CDC and state and local authorities spent the past week begging people not to travel and urging them to keep their Thanksgiving celebrations small Yet millions defied the official warnings with nearly six million traveling by plane in the last six days It comes as 95 percent of counties across the country are now seeing an uncontrollable spread of COVID-19 infections, a data map compiled by spatial analytics company Esri shows 

While COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations are spiking nationally, the Midwest - encompassing a dozen states between Ohio and the Dakotas - has been especially brutalized. 

Midwest states continue to be among the hardest hit in the country based on cases and deaths per 100,000 people. 

North Dakota is still the worst affected with 158 cases per 100,000 people in the last week. Wyoming follows with 154 cases, New Mexico with 127 cases, South Dakota with 122 and Minnesota with 115 cases per capita. 

The worst affected states for deaths per capita are South Dakota with 2.8 deaths per 100,000 residents in the last seven days. North Dakota follows with 2.1 deaths and Wyoming with 1.4 fatalities. 

Cases are also rising in every other state with California seeing its number of cases jump 17 percent in 24 hours. 

Dr Anthony Fauci has warned that the US is already in the middle of a spike and that the true impact of Thanksgiving travel and gatherings won't be seen for another three weeks when infections and hospitalizations could surge even higher. 

'The final message is to do what we've been saying for some time... keep the indoor gatherings as small as you possibly can,' he told ABC's Good Morning America. 'By making that sacrifice you're going to prevent people from getting infected. 

'The sacrifice now could save lives and illness and make the future much brighter as we get through this...we're going to get through this. Vaccines are right on the horizon. If we can just hang in there a bit longer and continue to do the simple mitigation - masks, distancing, avoiding crowds. That's my final plea before the holiday.' 

With caseloads soaring, more than half the nation's governors imposed or reimposed statewide measures this month. But despite more stringent face-mask requirements, curfews and limits on bars and restaurants, the metrics of the virus have only worsened.
