Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

[Solitaire]

I thought Trump looked blood orange during the debate.

If McConnell, Pence, and Trump die then Pelosi becomes the head
of the Republican Party and will rule them with an iron fist like
Margaret Thatcher did in the eighties.

If it is a hoax, there are certainly some unplanned consequences from it.
Dow Jones Futures are taking a nosedive.

Yes.

Traders will be forced to buy options and sell shares they don’t own to contain
the fire that will burn middle class retirement funds to the ground.

Note:

You cannot use these strategies in your 401K because of the inherent risk involved.
Professionals only.

In the normal pre-Trumpism universe, this would be a very serious, conclusive news item. But because of the prolific lies that come with Trump territory, we have to be open to the idea this is a stunt/hoax to boost Trump's poll numbers when he "miraculously survives."

Trump is not intelligent enough to carry out such a plan, never mind that his mental illness would mean he couldn't carry if off for the two weeks.

Only took three days for this one to not age well.

Indeed. Fake or real, unless he is physically incapacitated, he'll break quarantine before next Friday.

I like presidents who don’t test positive for Covid

 

[newyorkguy]

I would just urge the president to remember, there are more important things than living.

Trump is really in risky territory, election aside. He has almost all the risk factors.

74 years old, male, obese, shouty, stressed, on medication.

Just not sure about his lung function, being so shouty.

Even so, it's worth pointing out that the odds are fairly certainly much higher on the "survives" side. I won't mourn his death if he dies, but I'm certainly not going to expect it to happen.

The idea that it's a hoax is not credible. It would suffer from the same problem that every conspiracy theory suffers from. There would be too many people who knew about it to keep it a secret.

Just from a practical view, I don't think that you would need many people. In fact, you need his personal doc and the ones which are doing the test. That's it.

The second the POTUS is diagnosed with COVID, he gets into isolation. And everyone else treats him as such.

As “Churchillian” has come to represent great stature, intelligence, oratorical skill and leadership, “Trumpian” will come to represent (if it hasn’t already) the polar opposite. What a legacy....

But he was never a smoker, right?
That's unfortunate.

NYT reporting Hicks already felt unwell at the Rally in Minnesota and was put in a separate cabin aboard Air Force One for the flight back and exited from the rear of the plane.

A ray of consolation for Trump: Herman Cain proved it's possible to Tweet from the afterlife.

No one: "Everybody in the danger age of 74 who gets COVID dies"

Brian Kilmeade (Fox & Friends): "if Trump easily overcomes his covid infection, doesn't that also send a message that you could say whatever you want in stats & graphs but I give you an example of somebody who's in that danger age of 74 who is out there, gets it, and beats it?"

What are you talking about, this aged like fine wine ^_^!

Apparently Hicks tested positive yesterday morning, and Trump knew. And then he carried on with indoor events, putting others at risk before learning he was infected.

Sociopathic to the not yet bitter end.

 

[fishbob]

Here we go:

Trump Tweets his and Melanie's tests are positive.

He will do anything to get out of another debate.

That is a really weird position.

Anyway, most people are asymptomatic. It isn't a thoughts and prayers situation until that changes.

I assure you I am very much in a thoughts and prayers situation, hoping that the asymptomatic situation goes away quickly.

I'm already praying for the virus.
