The statement does not say explicitly that Trump has tested negative for the virus nor does it say whether he is still on medication. — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately he did not pursue the stunt. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump wanted to appear frail at first when people saw him. But underneath his dress shirt, he would wear a Superman T-shirt, which he would reveal as a symbol of strength when he ripped open the top layer. ⁦@maggieNYT⁩ ⁦@anniekarni⁩ https://t.co/WLJC4IQHlY — PolitiTweet.org

Conley says Trump now meets "CDC criteria for the safe discontinuation of isolation" and "is no longer considered a transmission risk to others." Intriguingly, he says Trump has been "fever free for well over 24 hours," which raises question of whether he had fever a day ago. — PolitiTweet.org

The debate commission cancels next week's debate after Trump refused to do it remotely rather than in person: "It is now apparent there will be no debate on Oct. 15, and the CPD will turn its attention to preparations for the final presidential debate scheduled for Oct. 22." — PolitiTweet.org

Still by far the most revealing account of the president's campaign to crack down on immigration. Full of stunning behind the scenes episodes that will provide future historians with much grist -- like alligators in the moats. A masterpiece by @shearm and @juliehdavis — PolitiTweet.org

"This sounded like Donald Trump talking, not Mike Pence," writes ⁦@sbg1. "A quieter, less bombastic Donald Trump, to be sure, but Trump nonetheless." https://t.co/e4zQzGuKJs — PolitiTweet.org

Reminded of something Trump said about Pence a few months ago: "I think that's one of the greatest answers I've ever heard because Mike was able to speak for five minutes and not even touch your question." — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, this got lost yesterday but the trade deficit, which was such a priority for Trump, not only hasn’t come down but has reached its highest level in 14 years. https://t.co/ZhnVPkg3BV — PolitiTweet.org
