Hope Hicks gets sick and Trump attends an indoor event in Bedminster. This would be funny if it were not so frightening and negligent. Pelosi must be on high alert after Pence. Wouldn't most of the Trump clan be exposed? I am thinking of our enemies in the world and how vulnerable we have become as a nation. Getting to the truth of this and the timeline of infection(s) will not happen without pulling teeth. Biden is likely getting tested and observed now.

Trump clan? What about Biden, on stage with Trump, who was talking in a loud voice, often screaming, for about two hours, two days ago? Both Biden and Trump were maskless during their debate.

No doubt. I did mention Biden above.

Chad ochoseis Oct 02 2020 03:51 AM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

My main worry is that it turns out to be a mild case, as most are, and it gives more ammunition to the "it's no worse than the flu" section of the science denying numbskull contingent.

Frayed Knot Oct 02 2020 04:30 AM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

... timing seems suspect. is the new campaign strategy going to be 'sympathetic trump quarantining with you!' I saw a 'Letter to the Editor' (forget where) from a Trump fan opining that Biden was going to pull that same kind of strategy: announce a positive test right on the verge of the debates as a) a way to get out of them (cuz he's sceeered y'know) and b) as a way to deflect the age/fitness issues by staying asymptomatic It's easy to see ulterior motives behind everything when you don't trust the other side/person, but I think the Occam's Razor principle probably applies here. Now all someone needs to do is grab that tape of him arrogantly saying (does he say things any other way?) back in February "We've got this under control" and put that on an endless loop in the background anytime his current condition is being discussed.

That's one of the first things I thought of. The evilest thing I though of is whether Trump knew he had covid-19 before the debate and kept it mum, hoping to purposely infect Biden. I suppose this is very unlikely because Trump's infection couldn't be kept secret for that long -- and even if it could, there would still be the high risk that the timing of Trump's infection would eventually get out. The possibilities are endless, given this administration's disdain for safe covid prevention practices. For instance, does Amy Comey Barrett now have to self-quarantine? This wouldn't necessarily derail her confirmation, but it could delay it enough so that she's not seated on the Supreme Court in time to hear oral arguments on the Obamacare case, scheduled for one week after election day.

Lefty Specialist Oct 02 2020 05:05 AM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Yeah, my big worry is Biden. I guarantee Trump makes it through this with barely a sniffle and says, "See, it's nothing!" This means no rallies and fundraisers for 14 days. And when was the last time Mike Pence was close to him?

Johnny Lunchbucket Oct 02 2020 05:12 AM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

My first thought was Trump fakes having the disease so as to bail on the election and presidency itself as as he'd probably prefer that to the beating he's otherwise about to take.

Nah....they're not competent enough to pull that off. But this throws a lot of things into the blender. First, Trump's off the campaign trail for at least two weeks. Nobody in the White House wears masks. He had a fundraiser in Bedminster yesterday where he was posing with big donors. And he spent a lot of time in close proximity to Amy Coney Barrett, who spent a lot of time close to Mark Meadows, who spent a lot of time close to a number of Republican senators, including Mitch McConnell. I'm guessing those hearings won't go off on October 12th like originally planned. A lot of Republicans are going to be quarantining. And not 60 hours ago, he was chastising Joe Biden for wearing a mask. That'll be played incessantly. If nothing else, it keeps his failure on COVID front and center in the news.

Apparently, Trump got it from kissing cops. But it's very, very hard when you are with people from the military or … law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you, and they want to kiss you, because we really have done a good job for them,” Trump said. “And you get close, and things happen. I dunno. When I kissed a cop on 34th and Vine, he broke my last bottle of Love Potion #9. But I'm no Trump.

While acknowledging that I'm getting way out over my skis here, this is an issue with the recent and growing trend towards not just early voting but super early voting. It raises the very real possibility that a significant percentage of people have cast votes, ones that they can't change, for someone no longer alive by the time Election Day rolls around.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 02 2020 04:31 PM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Even if he's dead on Election Day, he'd still be on the ballot. A vote for Trump / Pence would become a vote for President Pence. I don't know what would happen if they were both dead, Pelosi was president, and the doubly dead GOP ticket won. Not likely to happen, but lots of unlikely things have been happening.

Kinda looks like this virus is ripping through the White House right now. I'm betting Mark Meadows has it and is hiding the fact. And where are Jared and Ivanka these days? Trump is desperate to get out of the hospital. He hates showing weakness, which is why he's been shown 'working' (actually signing blank pieces of paper) and taking that idiotic ride around the block to wave at The Deplorables. Everybody else who gets COVID has to stay in their hospital bed isolated from their loved ones, while he has a little parade. Pathetic.

Mary Trump is putting forth the story that Fred Trump Sr treated illnesses as a personal weakness and that that filtered down through Donald. She's certainly got an ax to grind and I'm not prepared to take everything she claims as gospel, nut this rings true to me.

Lefty Specialist Oct 06 2020 04:36 AM Re: Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Trump breaks out of the hospital but shows signs of breathing problems. But back in the White House he can seem like he's working and in charge while he alternates between tweeting and getting oxygen. He's not better. He's just pretending that he is. But this is very much 'on-brand'.

Particularly since there is essentially a hospital setup IN the White House. But it will give him ammo to claim that he was only hospitalized for a day and a half or whatever (a claim he'll have whittled down to a few hours before long) ... he's so virile you know.

You know what I'd like to see concerning Trump post-presidency? ... I want to see him collectively IGNORED. It was our country and our media's cult of celebrity that, if not got him elected, then at least set the stage for him to be so. I'm sure that most of those on 'The View, for instance, and certainty most of those who run shows such as that, wouldn't vote for Trump to a local school board. But when he wanted some place to spin his 'Born in 'Kenya shit, they tripped over themselves because 'WE'RE GOING TO GET THE DONALD ON OUR SHOW' without bothering to consider whether he had an intelligent word to say or any facts to back it up. So they fed the beast for a couple of ratings points and need to check the mirror if they're confused as to how all this happened.

Trump is going to have a live physical exam tonight on the Tucker Calrson Show (where else?) to prove he's healthy: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/wtaf-trump-undergo-medical-examination-013203633.html Because we live in a whacko nightmare gameshow hellscape, it shouldn't really surprise anyone that our lunatic president is appearing on a rightwing news network tonight to undergo a live “medical examination” after being diagnosed with COVID-19 barely over a week ago. The whole thing is batshit on its face but takes on a special brand of nutbar when you hear that the “exam” is being administered by a confirmed kook who spread COVID misinformation on TV, and the fact that Trump is still not at the 2-week mark from his diagnosis with the virus, which means that he could absolutely be contagious.

And now, David Bossie, in charge of Trump's delusional campaign to upset the election results: Then, on Friday, news broke that his chief of staff, Mark Meadows, who was at the party, had tested positive for COVID-19, as had four other campaign and White House aides. Meadows' positive result had reportedly come back on Wednesday, but he kept his infection secret from the White House staff at large until after the news reached the general public. Then, on Monday, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, who was at the party, tested positive for COVID-19. Then, later on Monday, campaign adviser David Bossie, who . . . was brought in to spearhead the president's “post-election legal and political battle” (despite not, technically speaking, being any sort of lawyer) because Meadows had tested positive for COVID-19, also tested positive for COVID-19. Bossie was at the White House election night party too. It appears that Donald Trump's decision not to take the coronavirus seriously—in either personal or professional contexts—contributed to him losing the election. Then it turned a gathering that underscored his failure to win that election into a superspreader event that is handicapping his efforts to overturn its results. Too bad! https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/11/david-bossie-whos-supposed-to-help-trump-challenge-the-election-has-covid-19-now.html
