Sympathy? I doubt this will inure to his benefit.

I don't want anybody to get sick or die. That's up to God. With that being said Trump said COVID-19 was a Democratic hoax, promoted miracles cures, encouraged Americans to flout safety protocols like avoiding large gatherings and wearing masks, and mocked Vice President Biden for wearing one.

As an armchair pundit I suspect every American who isn't in the tank for him will see it that way.


ON EDIT- I am a person of faith. My faith is as important to me as my liberalism.

I despise Trump as a person but I hope he makes a full recovery. I want him to be whole when Biden beats him.

My wife taught her when she was in grade school. She was a very polite and nice youngster. Marla Maples was also very nice, friendly and involved in her daughter's upbringing.

The best thing that happened to Tiffany was when her mother got away from Trump.

...just fear that the undecided will vote for Trump/Pence, expecting they won't have to suffer Trump. And the sicker he gets, the more likely I see this scenario playing out.

Therefore I hope Trump suffers tremendously then ends up on a ventilator.

After all, he called the disease a Democratic hoax. I have no sympathy for the liar who let more than 210,000 Americans die.

A man who takes no responsibility gets no support from me.

If that makes me a bad person, fine.

I am not one to support conspiracy stories but right now I cannot help myself. I cannot help but think this is a Trump hoax.

One question I have is does the White House always test for Covid 19 in the middle of the night? Supposedly he is tested every day.

How did both he and Melania come down with Covid 19 at the same time?

Is the White House going to abide to all the quarantine regulations?

Is this just another distraction? It sure does take away attention from Trump and the 300-400 million dollar loans he has coming due and who he owes the money to, the fact he did so badly in the debate that he won’t have to do another one, his years of only paying $750 of income taxes and years of not paying any income tax, his not condemning white supremacy, etc.

He can now have an excuse for his falling poll numbers.

It would not surprise me to see him miraculously get over Covid 19 in record time just to say it is nothing more than just a cold.
