he wont allow us to know.

If Obama did this there would be millions of assholes in the streets rioting.

If he has it and has no symptoms he would tell us he had it without symptoms so he could encourage all of us to get infected.

Kidding, but he might as well be Putin with what he's doing to this country.

and look and sound as though he were on his last legs. It is my conjecture that he has already had an active case, not severe enough to kill him, and, with the best medical care that 315 million of us can afford, was brought through it and is now out the other side of Covid.

Which isn’t half as crazy as some of the sh** he’s suggested injecting— bleach, light, etc.

I think he has very good protection that is kept from the public. I expect there is a team, perhaps secret service, in charge of looking after everything he is and will be doing, and disinfecting, etc. I expect they ensure that any one who meets Trump has been tested shortly before the meeting. They would have no shortage of test kits, and probably the equipment and personal to process them immediately on site.

If there isn't such a system, it would be a failing of the secret service.

No one gets near him who hasn't been tested and cleared.
