(17,549 posts)It's natural to assume that this is all a ploy with the history of lies.
After discussing this here in Yonnie's castle we decided it it likely he is infected.
The initial hiding of the Hicks infection from staff and media seems more 'rump's mode of operation. He doesn't want his opinion of the virus contradicted. He doesn't want to be seen as anything other than invincible, but with the White House leaks he needed to say he was ill to control the narrative.
We also wonder just when he first tested positive on the quick test and if he continued fundraising and campaigning after a positive result. That sure sounds like him.
A report now says he is mildly symptomatic. I suspect it is more than mild or he would insist on continuing the campaign and hiding the positive result.
