To hope Trump actually does catch COVID?

I said all along that this wasn’t real, that this was a publicity stunt so that he could say he’d been through it and this was just proof that COVID wasn’t anything to be afraid of. And now he’s leaving hospital and has said:

"Don't be afraid of Covid. Don't let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!!"
So now he’s saying that he’s come through COVID without issue (after a three whole days,) I hope he actually catches it so he can be exposed as a the liar and fraud he actually is. FWIW I don’t wish him serious illness or worse, just that COVID comes calling to expose him....

Not voted, but I’ve never before wished someone get a little ill. Hope he’s back in hospital. The damage that’s likely to unfold from that tweet doesn’t bear thinking about.

BrutusMcDogface · 05/10/2020 21:35

I haven’t got the swear words to describe how I feel about that utter fucking TWAT.

Dontcarewhatmyusernameis · 05/10/2020 21:39

The whole situation is very, very bizarre.

PossiblyPattio · 05/10/2020 21:41

What a nasty, nasty man.

Missandra · 05/10/2020 21:41

I don’t believe he’s faking it but I do believe he’s twatty enough to use it to fuel his own political agenda.

daisychain01 · 05/10/2020 21:42

I bet Biden is spitting feathers!

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 05/10/2020 21:44

I don’t think he’s faking it but this is unlikely to be a good outcome for America.

StealthPolarBear · 05/10/2020 21:46

So he's out and doing the strong as a horse routine. What a surprise. Shame he's not as intelligent or moral as a horse.

SunInTheSkyYouKnowHowIFeel · 05/10/2020 21:46

Are you saying you still don't believe he has tested positive for covid?

Inthebleakmidwinteriwouldsing · 05/10/2020 21:46

Oh good grief, I only took half a day off from the news!

I can’t keep up 🤦‍♀️

Planty13 · 05/10/2020 21:46

I truly don’t believe he’s gone from 0 to a positive test, hospital treatment and release all within 4 days.

BBCONEANDTWO · 05/10/2020 21:48

@Planty13

I truly don’t believe he’s gone from 0 to a positive test, hospital treatment and release all within 4 days.
I was thinking that but then all the other staff have it as well, so surely they won't be making that up.
Inthebleakmidwinteriwouldsing · 05/10/2020 21:50

Good point @BBCONEANDTWO, I mean you’d surely get struck off for something like that?

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 05/10/2020 21:50

I am more inclined to believe the rumour that he tested positive a few days earlier than they said.

Inthebleakmidwinteriwouldsing · 05/10/2020 21:51

Sorry I mean the physician. I’m tired. I mean the doctors would be in trouble for lying, surely, if they got found out.

Evenstar · 05/10/2020 21:53

He isn’t yet at the danger point from what I understand, he might be back in hospital sooner than he thinks. But YANBU, he is beyond insufferable and has had treatment that won’t be available to the poor fools outside the hospital gates if they catch it.

GetRid · 05/10/2020 21:53

He was obviously positive a few days before he announced he was (putting everyone near him at risk).

I think he's a liar but on this occasion I suspect be probably has had Covid, as half the White House now seem to have caught it. Plus I don't think Melania would have agreed to be in on a fake illness.

He's outdone himself with his latest narcissistic and tone-deaf tweets.

Janegrey333 · 05/10/2020 21:55

Yeah. Knew he was telling lies. Wretched creature.

AlternativePerspective · 05/10/2020 21:59

Are you saying you still don't believe he has tested positive for covid? yes. The fact that several in the White House have tested positive would make it easier for him to claim to be one of them. Nobody else would know, just the person responsible for “doing the test” who was no doubt someone close to him who could be trusted or face the consequences if they didn’t.

The rest of his aids would just be told that the president has COVID, they wouldn’t see the test or anything like that so they would be none the wiser.

As for Melania, she might have tested positive, or she might be towing the party line. After all she is married to him by choice.

We will never know but one thing is for sure, all the Trump family are as bent as he is! You really can't think Melina is a walking conscience of the Trump administration.

BeaverTail · 05/10/2020 22:03

I absolutely believe that he has Covid, but he's a dangerous lunatic and I'm glad he isnt out of the woods yet.

baroqueandblue · 05/10/2020 22:04

He's chief of a confederacy of dunces. Something will give at some point, but in the meantime this grotesque car crash continues on in very slow motion.

Brighterthansunflowers · 05/10/2020 22:05

It’s absolutely the most dangerous thing he’s ever said, and that’s saying a LOT

People will die because he’s basically told them it’s nothing a little snake oil won’t cure.

BeaverTail · 05/10/2020 22:06

I'm reassured to see the polls continuing to slip away from him too, and dont think he's going to be getting a sympathy bounce.

He has only a very small chance of winning the vote...but I guess the danger of him disputing the results is still very real.

Good point. I think people tend to project what they want to believe onto Melania, since we so rarely hear from her, but the idea she is a nice person who is somehow caught up in being married to Trump against her will is probably wishful thinking.
