got to do this. too bad we cant bet on it.
A more suspicious person might think after his terribly bad, no good, awful debate performance and his roundly condemned shout out of the Proud Boys and the massive blowback for his planned rallies in states where coronavirus is surging again, that it’s awfully convenient that right after he finally “condemns” white supremacy on Fox News tonight that Hope Hicks suddenly tested positive for coronavirus. And, after alllllllllll the other people who have tested positive around him including dozens of Secret Service staffers and White House staff and aides, that Trump & Melania NOW have decided to quarantine. A suspicious mind might think a lot of things about a so-called “President” who has shown he’ll do almost anything. Like try to make a gambit for sympathy after a terribly bad no good week. Like remove himself from the stage, and the press. Like push himself out of maybe doing the next debate or two because “he can’t.”
A suspicious person — far more suspicious than I am — could think a lot of things about that.
I get the cynicism but I'm not sure it would be enough to bounce him out of the hole he is in, I can't see how it changes anyone's mind.if his polls suddenly go up he'll hole up for a month thanking people for their get well soon cards, make a spectacular recovery on Nov 2 and hope to eke out a victory.
if his polls dive then he'll go back to rally mode and Hope Hicks will have tested postive falsely and just had a cold so need need to continue quarantine.
yes i am still in cynical mode, can't shake it off this week for some reason.
If he's faking it for publicity, we'll know soon enough. Though fake, real, or false positive, it could be enough to kick off a rally around the president, and give him the election.I get the cynicism but I'm not sure it would be enough to bounce him out of the hole he is in, I can't see how it changes anyone's mind.
Rona has caught his ass and I’m laying in bed cackling!!!!! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]
You are echoing my thoughts exactly. I’m wondering if it will at least teach them the the pointlessness of daily testing vs. just taking the recommended precaution of wearing a mask. Nahhhhh.if his polls suddenly go up he'll hole up for a month thanking people for their get well soon cards, make a spectacular recovery on Nov 2 and hope to eke out a victory.
if his polls dive then he'll go back to rally mode and Hope Hicks will have tested postive falsely and just had a cold so need need to continue quarantine.

Let’s hope not. Any way you look at it though, it will give him the opportunity to once again proclaim “fake news!”If he's faking it for publicity, we'll know soon enough. Though fake, real, or false positive, it could be enough to kick off a rally around the president, and give him the election.

I'm curious what that argument would be though?Another option is required: He'll be in quarantine as long as it is political expedient from him to be in quarantine.
And worse, it might yet serve to give him another argument with which to challenge the outcome of the election subsequent, in court.
Just be careful what you wish for. You may just get it.
...and the ensuing consequences we'll ALL have to deal with.
Still waiting for official word that the debates will be cancelled, seems like it's just a matter of time.
Am I unkind, or merely suffering from a mild case of paranoia, when I think that the timing of the fact that Mr Trump has tested positive for Covid-19 is awfully convenient (and will allow him to cancel further debates) given that even his own supporters (if not his brainless, but fanatical, base) thought that his performance in the debate earlier this week bordered on disastrous and was borderline deranged?
