87. He was sweating like a pig at the debate

Fri Oct 2, 2020, 11:58 AM

Oct 2020

And hanging on to the podium for dear life. He has a tendency to exhibit weird behavior anyway, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was under the weather even on Tuesday night.

If he's gravely ill, I have no pity whatsoever. The man has caused suffering and death across the country, so now he's getting a dose of what he's defiantly denied. His recklessness has come back to bite him. Let's see how he spins his own illness to his supporters because just the other day he was bloviating that the pandemic was ending.

For Joe Biden, this proves his point: no one is safe from a Covid infection, not even Trump or his inner circle. Safety protocols (which I understand have been ignored in the WH) limit exposure and spread.The lack of transparency is outrageous because Trump, reckless as ever, attended a fundraiser in NJ after Hope Hicks tested positive.

Karma is alive and right now she's squatting in the White House.
