continue the "it is a hoax", not really serious, meme,

and if Joe actually stands up to him, he will get a sympathy kick in the polls, because he just beat covid and Joe wasn't showing him enough respect.

Hopefully Joe can get him worked up to the point of gasping for breath, or even better, passing out.

Bring it on, Joe!

From everything I have read about this virus & his treatment of designer drugs, it will be hard for his immune system to balance out.
It seems like severe side-effects possibly last quite sometime after the normal body system succumbs to the disease process. He is still in the infection stage.

Chump will be on a ventilator or respirator by next week. White House steps (over-exertion) plus unlimited Adderall (un-prescribed), plus his cocktail of magical medicines (prescribed), are all going to do him in real quick.

And we're all watching it on MSNBC.

Trump is a health and safety risk. We don't know his true condition. To put him in the same room with people is irresponsible and dangerous.

I know that he is doing this to show how "tough" he is and to try to paint Biden as a coward if he refuses, but Biden should simply say, "You have COVID-19, you should recover, and focus on not getting anymore people exposed and sick. We can talk about a debate remotely or once you have had independently verified negative tests."

As some others have said, a remote debate would be acceptable as the moderator would be able to mute Trump (or Biden) if they interrupt. I put Biden in to be balanced but we know that Trump would likely be hopped up on steroids and looking to talk over everyone. Plus, we know that Trump will just be using his new talking point about "personal experience with the virus" which is really stupid.
