Think of the sympahty vote if Melania has a bad case or if she . . . well, you know.

Would this tip the election in Trump's favor.

(And no, I don't feel sorry for posting this. After all Trump has been trying to dismantle our country and has succeeded to a certain extent.)

Words mean nothing unless backed up with action. Her LACK of actions speak volumes.

Why are people on DU searching for a sympathy vote for Trump today? Nope.
If he had a heart attack... Maybe. But not for a serious and deadly pandemic in which he failed to protect himself and the country. Not for a pandemic that killed over 200,000 people because of his inaction.

"I hate Trump and what he has done to the country. But maybe a vote for him will cheer him up."

There will be no sympathy votes.
