President and first Lady test positive for Covid-19 (Trumps)

[K1052]

He was a total dick when Hillary got pneumonia around this time in 2016.

Just sayin.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If he has it but the list of people he's been close to lately is

Fake news generated by the radical left to uproot his racist agenda!!! In other news I checked my sympathy chest and its effin empty.

Personally I believe that this is a GOP rouse to keep him from more gaffing on tv before the election and to keep him from debating any further with Biden.

Coffin dancing dudes should stand back and stand by

I would just like to say, "You're welcome." I deleted all of my social media on Thursday earlier in the day and then this happens, so now I can't wittily comment on it anywhere but here!

The exposures to the west wing staff who traveled and the campaign has to be just massive.

Yuge, just yuge. People are saying it's the bigliest exposure ever.

I think it was inevitable he gets it.

I hope he takes HCQ by the fistful....

 

[senseamp]

This year sure delivers on the plot twists. I hope he recovers, and wish Melania the best, not sure if those two are mutually exclusive.

While Trump's stupid enough to make some shit like this up, so it could be fake. He's also fucking stupid enough to think Covid's a hoax and wearing a mask is pointless. So basically he's been extremely wreckless in keeping himself safe. Which would fall in line with him not believing it's as serious a threat as it is. So it's very plausible he and his wife do in fact have it.

I cant say that this is unexpected.
Fat, unhealthy, mask avoiding idiot that has lots of mass gatherings of like minded fools gets covid.

If he doesn’t get severe symptoms then expect him to be even more callous.

If he's got it, at his age and with his physical condition, I supsect he _would_ get it pretty bad. But SteveGrawbowski might be right - if it's only Trump's word for it, I'm not sure if that's proof of anything. He can play the sympathy card, and also act macho and continue to downplay the seriousness of the virus.

Do the rules mean that Biden now has to quarantine as well? He's been around someone who tested positive, after all. Could be a very quiet election campaign all-round.

Imagine if both candidates end up really ill during the actual election! I mean neither of them look like they would survive a nasty dose of it.

How did he catch a hoax? From Hoax Hicks, of course… What a loser, amirite?

If he REALLY has it, I don't wish harm to him, or his wife

Part of me...My gut feeling is that it is fake news. Probably Hicks tested positive so Trump realized that if he “tested positive” he could lead the headlines away from the debates and his taxes. He wouldn’t have to do any more debates and he could sit home and watch TV all day.
It gives him an excuse to hide for two weeks and then emerge and brag about how it was no big deal and look at how strong and healthy he is! ... Everything about this guy has been smoke and mirrors... either way - it is what it is.

 

[DigDog]

Trump claims he won the first debate

 

[IronWing]

I think he’s lying.

 

[sportage]

It Is What It Is, as they say...
However, I don't see how or why this news should bother the world markets or the US stock market. I mean, other that seeing a huge uptick because.... we "might" have a new president sooner than expected. I'd think a market rally, really.

We should look at Boris Johnson as to what we can expect. Boris was 16 years younger than Trump, and he was put in the hospital because of this virus. Can we expect the same for Trump whose older, and who has health issues? This could go either way, and the stock market will probably do the same. It just depends on how Trump gets over this virus.

 

[IronWing]

Trump has a rally scheduled for my fair city on Monday. I guess we dodged a plane load of stupid.

 

[pmv]

I for one will be following Jessie Jackson's advice and praying for the President. Admitedly, I probably wouldn't if I believed prayers had any effect whatsoever. But as I'm confident they won't do anything...

I'm guessing there are a lot of factors in play, I wouldn't expect this to be worse for Trump than it was for Johnson solely because he's older and less healthy.

Yea. Trump is overweight. Many of the people who are dying look exactly like Trump. Overweight, old, not taking care of themselves. What will be his saving grace is he will have the best treatment that is currently available. Treatment that isn't available to the common folk, and he will be monitored 24/7 by white house physicans. He won't have to wrry about going to the store, or work. He can relax.

I hope he lives long enough to lose the election.
