Trump and Melania test positive test positive for Covid 19

Who in here is thinking, just for second, that it might be just a stunt?

Him getting through this without any health problems would surely give him a boost and would also divert any other headlines for some weeks.
 
They'll probably get convalescent plasma or some other experimental treatment or therapeutic.
 
It also seems that Trump meets at least some of the characteristics of a "super spreader" which includes being large, sweaty, shouty and maskless. I have just finished "Rage" and, not to anyone's surprise, his propensity to lurch into a long, loud rant at anyone who dares disagree is legendary. I'll bet a lot of his staff test positive.
 
The rules of the first debate specifically said they would NOT shake hands.

The regulations also said audience members would wear masks. Guess who didn't?

Okay, thanks. I imagined they would have passed each other and instinctively shook hands. Perhaps not.
 
I feel no guilt about celebrating this. US democracy is being destroyed by this fascist lunatic. On top of which, if he wins the election and continues his policy of "herd mentality", that could cost millions of lives. If I was a believer, I'd be thanking God.

Not only am I not feeling guilty about having a huge Fozzie Bear smile stuck on my face right now, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping he gets as deathly ill as possible with this thing without actually dying.

This guy desperately needs to come as close to dying as possible, he needs a good strong dose of terror injected into his veins. It's the only way he's ever going to do an about-face on how serious he needs to take this coronavirus thing. If he starts to take it seriously, then so too will his faithful cult following.

If that happens, everyone benefits. Full stop.

It's a real possibility in order to divert attention from the disastrous debate headlines. I don't put anything past the Liar-in Chief.
 
Good. Hope he dies slowly and painfully

I don't. I want him to lose in a landslide and have to face the entire world seeing what a failure he is and laughing at him. And then I want him to go to prison, along with his crotch-goblins Eric, Ivanka, and Junior. I want him to die in prison penniless.

And also, I don't want the trash in his cult to have a martyr.
 
Will Biden have to quarantine? They must have shook hands sometime before or after the debate.

Oh crap, they didn't shake hands but they were definitely in the same room together, unmasked, for 90 minutes while Trump was blathering most of the time.

I don't think so. There's exactly one month of campaign left before the election and Trump and much of his staff have to spend fully half of it in quarantine, and surviving Covid with mild symptoms isn't rare or unusual. It's too much campaigning time to sacrifice for too little return.
 
They will both get the best treatment available, and if he recovers, no matter how sick he gets, he'll claim he hardly knew the virus.

Also, he'll get some sympathy votes.
 
He could absolutely be outright lying, just to strut around asymptomatically and declare himself an übermensch

Even a stiff prison term might make him a martyr. I'd rather just have him bankrupt and living on a lender-approved allowance like in the 1990s - but this time one that would just barely support a middle-class lifestyle. Including barber-hairdressers who don't make anywhere near $70k a year.
 
Thoughts and prayers to the virus within Mr and Mrs Trump. Hope it has a long and reproductive life.
 
Without doubt.

Don’t underestimate the sympathy votes which might flow his way though. “Poor Donnie, leading from the front where he gets the virus, while Biden locks himself in his home”.

He's gonna get the best care available and if he recovers, no matter how sick he gets, he'll proclaim it was nothing at all.

I agree about the sympathy vote; as unbelievable as it sounds, there are still undecideds, and who knows how they'll react.
