Remember the one where hardly anyone showed up? I think it will be a replay of that one only worse since now he'll be sharing his Covid with his people.

It's a win-win for us.

It's a commemorative Covid infection. If you live through it, you'll never forget it. It comes with a certificate of authenticity.

You didn't get just any Jack-nuts vivid, you got the presidential covid.*

The positive: we won't have to put up with his debate tactics.

The negative: yet another super spreader event by a man
even more demented than usual... if he makes it that far.

I think it’s ideal that he just meets with his fan club. He’s not going to pick up any votes and he’ll spread his cooties to them. Of course there will be collateral damage. Actually it could work out well if they hold the debate and Joe faces an empty chair as long as the TV coverage is maintained. That would really twist trumps undies to find out his rally didn’t get TV coverage but Joe got more just talking to an empty chair.

But face it, there will be multiple flip flops and demands right up to the day. Don’t let him dominate the news cycle, Joe should just show up on time, ready to go.

If Trump is such a fabulous debater I would think he should be able handle it no matter what format it was.

Clearly he's the one bailing out.

about 5 miles away. The infected pResident couldn't expose himself to another catastrophic performance like the past one so he invents excuses. Didn't he do much the same thing with one of the debates in 2016?

Is Stepien in 8th grade? Did he just agree to put his name on something written by Impatient Zero in a moment of ‘roid rage? Do they care one bit about the perception of normal, rational people? Do they not think about how they’re giving Joe a full night with an empty chair on national TV, doing an event of a kind he’s really great at? Is it all about the ego boost of a rally with dwindling, maskless morons?

Doing the rally remotely won't give him the ability to personally enjoy the cult-like worship of his white supremacist core supporters. Plus, it will just reinforce that he is sick and contagious. Trump will double down and disregard any public safety measures to push the idea that COVID is no worse than the flu.

Either that, or he decided to channel the Genuine Trump Gibberish to make Trump feel he's less alone. That's not a campaign statement, it's a drug-fuelled rant.
