While I think Trump, indeed, has Covid, I can also understand those who think he's faking it.

That's what happens when so many facts are hidden, obfuscated, obscured, spun, aligned with malign intent.

This poll is binary. What do you think?

These people have lied so many times, even when it wasn't necessary, that I simply cannot tell. And, frankly, I don't care.

Trump is facing a landslide of historic proportions because of these lies, and there is no way out for him any more except cheating.

The fact is nobody trusts Trump to tell the truth.
He has no credibility because he's lied about everything. Everything.
Didn't he ever learn the morals to any age-old fables?
All this mistrust and blowback is his own damn fault.

It really doesn’t matter one way or the other. Whether he has it or has been faking it, the real disease is the duplicity, lack of transparency, absence of empathy, disregard of science and reality, self-aggrandizing grandstanding, and any other nouns or adjectives you can throw at him.

I really don’t care.

and the Pig is playing it up as a PR scam.

Never really believed it would kill him...hoping it would have laid him up for a couple of weeks though.

Even if he quickly recovered.

Also, he’s not a good enough actor to look that sick.

Finally, half the people he knows have tested positive.

He’s got it.
