Trump says he and Melanoma have tested positive for Covid.

Send him some Clorox. Show you care.

Karma's a bitch

Trump and Melania test positive for covid-19

What happens when you take risks with the virus.
There was absolutely no reason for them to have been put at risk.
Absolutely.
Absolutely no way they should've caught it.
It's aerosolised...they should've been isolated months ago.
It should simply not have been "business as usual".
Now look what's happened.

Trump shouldn't have stopped taking the hydroxychloraquine!

Seriously though, this idiot goes to mass rallies and smaller meetings without a mask, mocks Biden for wearing a mask, downplays the virus for months.  And then finally gets infected.  So he's derailed again.  What a train wreck.

Another great week for Trump!

Trump's October surprise. He's going to do his Warren Harding act, now.

[bodiddley]

Early on, back in February and March, when the lethality of the virus was still unknown, I thought it was extremely reckless/negligent that Trump and Pence were often in the same room together.

It really has seemed like just a matter of time before Trump became infected.
Maybe he should go to Belarus and take saunas and vodka with Lukashenko -- the Slavic cure.

But ... it's a hoax? Right Chuck?

“The most outrageous lies are the ones about Covid 19,” wrote Woolery in the message promoted by Trump. “Everyone is lying. The CDC, Media, Democrats, our Doctors, not all but most ,that we are told to trust. I think it’s all about the election and keeping the economy from coming back, which is about the election. I’m sick of it.”

the fucker lies about everything.

How could that have happened, Banks?!

Kid assured us that Hope had been many places, suggesting he believed that Trump was not at risk. Would he have misled us?

But it's okay, because of age and health statistics...

More seriously, though:

1) I hope he doesn't get seriously ill. Ditto his wife.

2) I imagine we will find out pretty soon if he had an underlying condition that they were hiding from the American people (to keep us from panicking).

3) A part of me wonders if this is "just" another way to try to control the news cycle and to make him a sympathetic character to the public. I am both revolted that I would even think that and doubly revolted that having considered it, I cannot categorically reject it.

4) And with that, I have to wonder how this is going to play, in general and especially to his supporters who have claimed it was all a hoax, etc.

1) I hope he doesn't get seriously ill. Ditto his wife.

I'll co-sign that.
But I'd also be somewhat disappointed if Trump were asymptomatic ...

For the 200K dead and the millions of Americans who suffered, doesn't Trump deserve at least some discomfort and worry?

Oh yeah, one I forgot:

In July, Trump’s national security adviser, Robert O’Brien, tested positive.

So Hopeless Hicks was the 5th close call.

Since last Nov/Dec it's been one disaster after another for Trump.
Biden continues to be one lucky dude.

Josh-I don't know how to tell you, so I'll just blurt it out, kid's a liar and an idiot and shouldn't be trusted.

I like you have mixed feeling about Trump's covid infection,  i don't wish disease on anyone, or serious implications etc. but if anyone deserved this, I can't think of anyone more deserving than this evil asshole who has caused so much pain and suffering.

I hope he recovers to lose the election and then be inveestigated and found guilty of tax fraud, perjury, treason, obstruction of justice, and other high crimes, and to rot in prison for the rest of his miserable days.

[bambu.]

He'll be lucky if he doesn't die.
74 overweight, he should've been scared.
Hopefully they'll be ok.

[facilitatorn]

His team might want to minimize damage by keeping him off the trail for a couple of weeks if not the rest of the cycle and using Hope and Melania as confederates, fed him a false positive to “lock him up” at least in the short term.

He might have petulantly thrown in the towel and the best spin his campaign could come up with was that creepy don has Covid-19.

He might have had someone explain the fatal flaw in his election hijacking plan causing him to suffer another stroke and the best spin his campaign could come up with was that creepy don has Covid-19.

It could be real, in which case Herman Cain sends his regards.

999 problems and his disease is one.

He was scared. He’s always scared.

He’s a coward and he knows what he’s done and that he deserves bad things.

Despite that, he’s too lazy and id driven to take precautions.

He’s been bullshitting you, as we’ve pointed out for several years now.
