Trump faked Covid to get out of the 2nd debate.

I am convinced of it now. He paid off a couple of doctors. The powerful drugs were just a nice bonus. Easy Peasy.

But with no evidence to support this, it's just another set of words wasted.

He thinks he won the first debate. He was the loudest and talked the most. Remember, the 'Rona makes him look weak and feeble, which is why he's doing campaign stops all week to overcompensate for the perception of weakness.
Plus, a lot of other people got infected with him. A lot. To the point where it's spread to people who aren't in the tank for Trump and would never go along with the scam.
He's just a sick old man.

He likely was only mildly symptomatic but was treated very aggressively.

the fact that he’s still backing out for other reasons validates his reluctance for me.

..Im sure he had and probably still has pneumonia. An 18 minute speech from the balcony is not like him. He had a captive paid audience he would have spoken for hours in front of them. I hope he over does it bigly.

If he says right? I go left. If he says down? I go up.. So when it comes to what he has caught and now is cured? All I know is he lies...... and a lot...YMMV

As I pointed out in another thread, he showed up at last night's rally obviously drugged up. He also left the AF1 through a cargo hold door, rather than the usual exit. He still gasps for air and huffs and puffs. He is not well.
