Her eyes over her mask lit up and she said, "Is he on a ventilator yet?"
She hates him.
And maybe we will have 14 days without having to hear from him.

Thoughts and prayers, but not the kind you think.

Anderson Cooper said that he needs to look in the mirror. He is old and he has several preexisting conditions.
He is so delusional that he might really have believed that it couldn't touch him.

(1,226 posts)I think it's a hoax!
I really hope it's not tho I don't him to croak (right now) I would be mildly pleased were he to be blessed with all the long lasting gifts that can offer. And I wouldn't be inconsolable with grief if the whole family riding in Air Force C19 with him get a good scare as well.

(7,893 posts)It may be a hoax. Avoiding further debates, looking for the sympathy vote, etc.
Personally, I'm ignoring this until there is definite verification, and Trump showing up visibly sick, like Boris.
Until then, all those people speculating about what happens next should just STFU! And wait patiently.
(If I get an invite to Trump's funeral, I will politely decline.)
But I don't think there's enough of a float of undecideds out there to garner a sympathy vote.
More likely is he wants to avoid the debates, and then pop up after the quarantine and say "SEE I BEAT IT! PUNY VIRUS!"
I honestly don't know what to believe from the White House who cried wolf....
If he doesnt go to his summer palace to play golf, then it might be true.

If he gets over it quickly he'll say "see, it's no big deal"
OR it will turn out the test was faulty and he'll say "see the testing is flawed, so why do them"

(2,638 posts)I think Trump has such a pathological need to be right, plus he wants to bolster his base, that he is pretending that he has it so that he can pretend to recover from it. That way he can proudly exclaim: "See? I said it's no big deal, and whaddya know? It's no big deal!"
And like others, I hope that if he has it that he does not die, just suffers immensely. Dying is too good for him.
