Too many other cases in the WH and events where he was at to just hand wave it as fake, but he's been on drugs that could make a corpse feel well enough to walk to the morgue.

My mind wanders over to the question but your points are what usually pull me back to reality. His intent is to infect everyone so he has to get out more to do so before he gets shut down by having no election to run for in two weeks. I suspect he'll collapse with a strike or heart attack by the holidays.

Fuck things up as badly as possible before January 20 so Biden has a smoking crater to deal with. And Republicans in Congress will pívot on a dime and become deficit hawks to stymie any recovery so they can use that in 2022.

And he might just get more republicans infected. Would be a shame if a lot of them were too sick to vote!

Of course I say that in jest. I'm not really wishing COVID on anyone, but I can't get upset if people get sick, because they are stupid enough to go to packed rallies without masks or social distancing.

most likely it will hurt him instead of helping him. He won't be able to be civil in the next debate, and will probably be worse than the first debate. He will be pumped up with who knows what kind of drugs, and will be the bully we have seen for the last few years, only this time it will be a scared narcissist, on drugs, who will do what they do best, attack others, lie, blame others, and "think" they are untouchable.

It's his last chance, and he will lose it.

just like his Covid pressers. Too much of a bad thing and all. Fortunately, he cannot be convinced of that because "everybody loves him, their favorite president."

I get your point though, and say bring it on. Why stop at 3-5 per day? Cram as many in there as they can, Covid doesn't care. The people who show up to those things don't care either.

Run himself ragged and get sick. Fine by me. Nothing like seeing an asshole in discomfort by his own hand.

Please keep showing America who you are Trump.

Personally I think the election is locked in (early voting combined with very few undecideds) but if the needle moves any more Trump being Trump moves it against Trump.

After the election, even his followers won't want to see him. This is his last chance for the adoration he craves.
