He is dropping in the polls, failed in his debate, a short few days ago the "bombshell" tax report drops.
And now he has COVID. What does that announcement do?
Takes the taxes issue off the table, takes the Proud Boys comment off the table, AND get's him sympathy.
Next he will announce he has some symptoms but is taking a new drug developed by Brand X. He has a miraculous recovery, comes out in a week and says he is fine due to the miracle cure and pounds his chest and says only he was right, everyone else was wrong about a vaccine, especially Biden. Then he will do a bullshit display of the bullshit drug in the Rose Garden and say he saved the World.
He lies, he is a scam artist, and he hates to be wrong. This will be his latest scam.

(4,845 posts)His poll dropped when COVID got bad. He is still against COVID as soon as during the debate.
And with COVID, he won't be able to do any real campaigning for the next few weeks. This is important time for him to be out there, not quarantining.

His out, claim he has it, claim due to his leadership rapid release of a vaccine occurred, take a miracle drug, push it, come out in 10 days and say see how healthy I am! Drink this snake oil!
He is a fucking reality TV star!!!!!
Claustrum
(4,845 posts)During the debate and even today in a press conference, he said COVID turned a corner. Now he got it. Every question he will get is about COVID. That's not the thing he wanted to talk about.

(2,012 posts)you nailed my thoughts. Since when do we take a Trump tweet at face value?
I don't know what to think about ALL of this, but... I'm proceeding with caution.
That being said, I was ABOUT to turn the TV off when Brian Williams got the call in his ear. Now I won't be getting to sleep soon.

He dies from COVID and I will offer my apologies.

(9,481 posts)That criticizing Trump for his handling of Coronavirus is the same as blaming him for being sick. You know, us mean, heartless Democrats.

I wonder if he deliberately tried to infect Biden.

(8,419 posts)Only then will I believe him. Until then he is the scared kid in bed holding a thermometer up to a light bulb.
For full disclosure, I did that in 1st grade, but it was over a girl who kept chasing me around at school. I think my temp was 106 but for some reason my Mom didn't panic

(57,081 posts)the proof he's been laundering money still goes on.
Nothing stops because he got sick. He did to himself. We don't take pity on patri and matricides just because they're orphans.

(32,704 posts)with foreign countries and/or leaders. He's not dying, at least not within the next 20 days or so.
I don't know if he has corona or not, but I think he's trying to distract us from his ongoing corruption. Also, she said a lot of his deals will be taking place around the 10th-13th. The good news is, a lot of his plans are probably not going anywhere due to mars retrograde. lol.

Midnight Writer
(21,765 posts)The President was pronounced dead at 6:05 PM. An intern shakily pulled the sheet over his face.
The Doctors and the Nurses in the room were in shocked silence, then breaking into sobs.
The Head Doctor, a big, strapping guy with rough hands, suddenly cried out "Dammit, Sir. You can't leave us like this! You had so much more to do for The Country!"
Another man in the room sighed. "Who's going to tell his beautiful widow?"
And then. "Is there a breeze in here?" "No, of course not. This ICU is sealed." "Well, I swear I saw that sheet move!"
Suddenly the President sat up from the table, the sheet pooling in his lap.
The President's eyes focused like a laser on the Head Doctor.
The Doctor said "No! No! This can't be. You were dead!"
"I don't have time to die! I spoke with God, and after he begged me to forgive him for the very unfair treatment I've received, he told me he would send me back for another term, to make up for what the Liberal Communist Anarchists took from me!"
The Head Doctor collapsed in astonishment. "It's a miracle! A true miracle! I was a Godless atheist, but now I believe!"
"Oh, I know you believe, Doctor. And now They all will believe. I took the power from God! Now all must either bow before me or fall before me!"
Then Kayleigh asked "Are there any questions?"
