Earlier today Trump took to the podium to address the nation and said “he’s now in stable condition at the hospital”, and that he would make a “full and speedy recovery,” but that’s not what the hospital just reported just a few hours after Trump’s statement.
Trump either made up the statement entirely or was misinformed by an aide or the press. Some reports in the media had him “at stable condition,” but they could have been relying on Trump’s statement for that reporting. We’re not sure.
Given Trump’s history of misleading and untrue statements, it’s possible Trump just plain lied.

Trump lied
So what else is new?

Re: Trump lied
This isn't the time, Bob. Most likely, Rep. Scalise's condition was downgraded after surgery. But even if you were spot on, this would be downright petty under the circumstances. --BobBob Juch wrote:So what else is new?

Re: Trump lied
I was making a different point. With a man's life hanging in the balance, I don't have the patience for petty potshots about unimportant inaccuracies. Whether the statement was accurate at the time is, in this context, unimportant to me. Even if it was wrong and deliberately so, I don't care. --BobBeebs52 wrote:Updates weren't provided til several hours later. That's sorta the point.Bob78164 wrote:This isn't the time, Bob.

Re: Trump lied
For someone who regularly posts obits of celebrities who died years earlier, quibbling over whether or not Trump accurately reported the latest update on the Congressman's medical condition is exceedingly tacky and petty.

Trump is using Scalise for his own purposes. Yesterday evening he went to the hospital briefly then tweeted, "Just left hospital. Rep. Steve Scalise, one of the truly great people, is in very tough shape - but he is a real fighter. Pray for Steve!" He never saw Steve or any of the other victims. It was just a photo op.
Trump lies. He even lies about the "Today" show ratings, saying how bad they are when they're at an all-time high.

Every time, when I think Bob Juch has sunk to his lowest point, he breaks out a shovel and starts to dig.

The Washington Post (not Trump's favorite rag) wrote that the Trumps sat by Scalise's bed.Bob Juch wrote:Trump is using Scalise for his own purposes.

If Trump laid his hands on Scalise and cured him, Bob would complain that Trump provides health care to his friends while taking it away from 23 million Americans.

Re: Trump lied
The nurses and Mrs. Scalise say Trump did not go to Scalise's room. I very much doubt the Post reporter was allowed to either; his report was probably based on Trump's statement.jarnon wrote:The Washington Post (not Trump's favorite rag) wrote that the Trumps sat by Scalise's bed.Bob Juch wrote:Trump is using Scalise for his own purposes.

Re: Trump lied
Not commenting on the accuracy of the where Trump was in the hospital when report, but the WP has been on the 'kick' to be first than right' track a lot lately. Maybe Prime doesn't work in all of Bezos's businesses.
