He is dropping in the polls, failed in his debate, a short few days ago the "bombshell" tax report drops.

And now he has COVID. What does that announcement do?

Takes the taxes issue off the table, takes the Proud Boys comment off the table, AND get's him sympathy.

Next he will announce he has some symptoms but is taking a new drug developed by Brand X. He has a miraculous recovery, comes out in a week and says he is fine due to the miracle cure and pounds his chest and says only he was right, everyone else was wrong about a vaccine, especially Biden. Then he will do a bullshit display of the bullshit drug in the Rose Garden and say he saved the World.

He lies, he is a scam artist, and he hates to be wrong. This will be his latest scam.
