    It was totally abnormal.

    No slander; No insults; No bullying; No shouting; No blaming Democrats for his condition; I wish I could say no lies but that would be a lie.

    Trump's behavior is totally out of character and it demonstrates how sick he is.

    For the first time ever, I felt like I was watching a real human being speak openly and honestly. Maybe being diagnosed has helped him realize what so many people have been going through even a little bit. Only time will tell if it's made a real impact. I hope so.

    It was one of his better speeches. He even called it the Coronavirus and not the China Virus. Maybe this is a life altering experience for him.

    He's still a psychopath.

    The empathy he's feeling right now is only for himself.

    The only thing he's thinking of at the moment, apart from his recovery, is to resume his rallies with fans without masks and who don't respect any social distancing.

    That may be true. I'm thinking he at least has some kind of pause because he has a minor son whose mother is also sick. Only time will tell if any of that matters when he returns.

    You’ve outdone yourself with this post, and the bookies said, based on your prior posts, it could never happen.

    Ew. That doesn't even qualify as conspiracy. It's just downright hateful.

    Buh bye. You're a one trick pony. I've seen enough of your sickness.

    He is 74 years old. At that age, you don't change.

    Are you naive enough to believe that he has empathy for Melania?

    A woman he cheated on with a porn star while she was pregnant.

    No, he doesn't give a damn about FLOTUS.

    I agree with you that some older people are stuck in their ways. For sure.

    No, I don't expect he cares about FLOTUS, but I'm hoping he cares about their son. It would be tragic for a boy to lose his mother.

    I guess I'm trying to think positively. I know that I've made mistakes in my life and I try hard to learn and grow from them.

    If he's truly on the road to recovery, we'll know the real deal in the coming weeks. If nothing else, we got one video clip of him not being obnoxious. ;-)

    I think she was actually recovering from child birth and not pregnant. As if that’s any better lol

    Not being hateful is hateful?

    You should seek other employment.

    Wow, I totally missed that.

    Conversely, if he returns to his usual lying, shouting, insulting and blaming Democrats in subsequent videos, it means he thinks he’s recovering.

    Exactly.

    A well-scripted/well-rehearsed performance.

    Obviously, there were multiple takes and they took the best one.

    From now on, Trump should only speak in public through these (obviously) scripted and rehearsed sound bites..

    That, in itself, is impressive. He goes off script constantly much to his staff's chagrin, I'm sure.

    He’s signing his name with a sharpie on blank paper in some of the pics. Clearly something is wrong with his mental facilities.

    It's not a rally, it's not a press conference, it's not a video filmed in response to an attack on him. The fact that some people are so perplexed by his nature in this video shows that their TDS exceeds their ability to contextualize. Don't get me wrong though, he's going to make hay while the sun shines, he'll use this situation to his advantage... for the purpose of being the president you didn't know you needed for another four years.

    Very respectable. Only one self-aggrandizement.

    Has it occurred to anyone Trump might have allergy to spray-on tan? Like those little kids who go crazy after drinking red cordial.
