Trump +ve for Covid

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

If he was a decent person I'd be wishing him well. He's not. I'm not.

@captainpantbeard

It doesn’t ring true. There’s something wrong about the way he’s tweeted it.

THIS.

@KenDodd

It is probably in the best interest of Americans for Trump to die as that might make his supporters become more responsible

This is the last thing I want to happen.

I agree. His supporters will say he was murdered.

I agree

Who's thinking that he's just hiding away after that shit show of a debate?

Keeping a very low profile and possibly being prevented from making an even bigger arse of himself.

I don't want him to die of Covid. I want him to be fully sentient and lose the election fairly and squarely.

If he remains reasonably well, no reason why he can't do the debate online. I noticed on Twitter earlier that there was a suggestion he had mild symptoms. That could mean anything.

Yes.

There's no way he can do the debate via Zoom, McNinny would be standing behind the camera with her infamous big white folder, holding up flashcards for him to read

If he is perfectly well and doesn't participate in the debate remotely then will people believe he has it ?

If he is too unwell to participate in the debate remotely, then will a lot of people see him as a weaker older gentleman, who perhaps isn't up to another 4 years as POTUS ?

Oh yes, I would like to think either of those two scenarios

@eaglejulesk

Whether you like him or despise him, remember he is a fellow human being. I think it is wicked to wish him dead. I hope he and Melania are both OK.

Well said. Those who wish him ill are showing themselves up as no better than he is tbh.

Wow. Much sanctimony.

SoI just googled and he hasn't tweeted for 16 hours. Is that normal? Surely, if his case was mild he would be tweeting to reassure his supporters that he is fine and dandy.

I do not do twitter so this lack of tweets may be normal.....but it feels odd to me. Why is he so quiet?

Well...
Breaking news
He's being admitted to Walter Reed hospital as a precautionary measure

Yes, helicopter preparing to airlift him out. Hmm.

@Roussette

Well... Breaking news He's being admitted to Walter Reed hospital as a precautionary measure

The White House is already fully equipped with a medical centre and staff.

Wonder what he needs at a general hospital?

Hmm.

It's where he goes when it's anything more than routine...

Do you think a hospital stay would be part of the plan?

(complete aside here but fyi: on twitter....Trump has 31.5 million followers....Obama has 123.2 million followers....Obama is beating Trump bigly )

@StealthPolarBear

Do you think a hospital stay would be part of the plan?

No, assuming he has CV !!

At his age and weight, he has a 1:25 chance of dying, regardless, few obese 74 yo's have no side effects from CV.

It is worrying that he's been taken in. Perhaps the same caution as for Johnson? I hope this will wake up some people to take the virus a bit more seriously. I think Melania will be ok due to younger age.

It is worrying that he's been taken in.

No it's not.
He saw the good press, public sympathy and improved approval ratings Boris Johnson got from being in hospital. I bet his team have asked him to go in to try to win some more votes.

I bet he wins the election because of this.

Similar messaging to Johnson

Good spirits / precaution

Still not convinced but if you make a career made up of lies and fabrication then it’ll follow you whatever you say

Johnson would have had little pity if his illness had been in June.

Similar for Trump, his illness won't garner him extra votes, which is apparently what he needs, he is more likely never to stand in November.

You’re kidding yourself if you think Trump followed Boris Johnson’s illness and is copying it. Britain is not that important let alone to an egomaniac like Trump.

Being Trump, he'd be more likely to ride out his illness in the WH. Doing office work from the hospital doesn't sound convincing. I think his condition is more serious than he'd like people to believe.
