What if Trump didn't really have covid, but had the flu?

What if his minions pretended it was covid to try to get sympathy for him, or to make it look like “see, we’re all in this together,” or for some other reason. Maybe to make it appear that he’s human, for instance.

I don’t believe he had Covid not anymore. He recovered too quickly IMO.

Mine is simple. He wanted to appear free of virus. So the first step was to make use of the Whitehouse infection. The second step was preemption of a vaccine with public fanfare followed by a few other fanfare drugs. Third - Off to the hospital acting out of breath (a little; he's a male afterall). Fourth - Magic couple of days and he emerges proving there is a "cure" and it has antibodies in it and everyone can have it so go get sick. And finally, he can travel and throw superspreaders because he isn't spreading, his antibodies protect him and it's ok if the audience is spreading because being infected by COVID is WONDERFUL.

Crazy, yes. True, maybe?
