Trump has Coronavirus :(

[rdbase]

He knows how to spin things in his favor sure.
But his odds of winning with this tactic is looking to backfire on him.

My initial thought is that Biden is ok: The protocols at the debate were strong and oddly enough Trump would demand protections as he is a germophile.
However Trump did make a mistake by allowing his cum dumpster to get close to him. Or maybe frenching a Proud Boy, possible as well. These things do happen....

Here are some remarks from world leaders weighing in on the news of the POTUS announcement via twitter this morning:


Japanese social media is just savage.


Atleast the Italian and Indian PMs have sympathy for the devil.

[cygan]

he could now pour a whole bottle of disinfectant into his body and see if it has as good an effect on him personally as he claimed at the beginning of the pandemic...
even if i do not like him - get well quickly!

[eddie13]

How unfortunate for the first family.. I hope they all, and everyone beat the virus easily..

[Quickseller]

The hatred in this thread and elsewhere on social media is disgusting, and should be condemned in the strongest way possible.

The appropriate reaction to this is to wish the Trump family a quick recovery.

That's so nice of you.

But this just means that no matter who you are, if you're not careful enough, there's a big chance that you'll get the virus. No exceptions.

I'm may not be an American citizen and I may not like him, too, but I just hope that they get well soon. As well as those who have been in contact with him and his wife.

I don't wish anyone to get sick with Corona...or anything else, for that matter... Including those I despise...

On the positive side, Trump can now tell the American people that they don't have to worry about him catching coronavirus during his 2nd term. He'll already be past that!!

Pure spirit is a great disinfectant. I wouldn't mind fighting covid this way. I could check out if high doses of ethanol make you immune to the pandemic. They sure make you care less about this worldwide theatrics.

Market is reacting very bad on news that Trump tested positive on coronavirus, and I expect this to continue for few more days.
I am wishing Trump family fast recovery and hoping to see better second debate with Biden soon.
One thing is sure, year 2020 is unforgettable.

Go to the site to see a list of government people who have had Covid. Probably everybody in the world has had it. It's just that for most people the symptoms are so mild, and so similar to the flu, that nobody knows that they had it. They only way to tell would be through testing... if you could find a test that didn't flip-flop, positive to negative and back again a dozen times... or didn't multiply the virus so many times that they could call it a "case," like the PCR test does.


Trump In "Good Spirits" Despite "Mild" COVID-19 Symptoms

Update (0832ET): The NYT beat its competitors by publishing the first "behind-the-scenes" look at the events of Thursday and Friday, as President Trump confronted the news that one of his top aides had fallen ill, before learning that he and his wife had been infected.

It also offered the first hint that the next two debates will likely be cancelled, or the format substantially modified.

It's almost certain that the remaining two debates between Mr. Trump and Mr. Biden will be canceled or drastically changed. The next one is scheduled for less than two weeks from now, on Oct. 15, and medical guidance would most likely keep the president isolated until then.

While also pointing out that under Washington DC's quarantine rules, Trump won't be able to leave the area during the final stretch of the campaign.

And after having gone forward with the rallies he craves, despite rules against large gatherings in many states, Mr. Trump will not be able to leave Washington during a final, crucial stretch of the campaign.

Perhaps the most salacious claim reported by the NYT is that Trump aides are discussing ways to get him out in front of the cameras on Friday to project an image of strength and reassure the American electorate that he would still be leading the country. One aide even suggested delivering a national address

He may not have the authority, but that's not stopped him trying things before. If he thinks he's going to lose - and he's already lined up 'fraudulent' postal votes as an excuse ...

He actually didn't 'line up fraudulent postal votes..."

The Democrats are doing that.

And he's not the only one reporting it.

[franky1]

He is now in quarantine, I wonder how would this affect his presidential candidacy.

1. sympathy vote
2. bidens team door knocking peoples homes would annoy people and not want to vote. im in the UK and whenever i get some over enthusiastic canditates groupie knocking on my door promoting his leader. it made me want to think why dont they just use the time/resources to fix the world. if a candidate actually has a good action plan he wont need to canvas the neighbourhoods.
by canvasing neighbourhoods is like showing you have not got a good action plan that speaks for itself. so you need groupies to over promise/over promote it door by door

so with trump held up at home for a week or 2 atleast. and biden annoying suburbs. it can actually work in trumps favour


but with that said. trump shouldnt get through the elections. he had his chance. and wasted 4 years just beating his chest to make himself look good. while making other people miserable.
time to let someone else have a chance

trump googled examples of people finding a dozen pieces of paper.. and exaggerated it into a big opposition ploy of millions of vote miscounts that can affect the tally of ~130mill votes
sorry but a couple dozen lost pieces of paper does not amount to a election fruad

You give slightly incorrect info. He tweeted that he "tested positive for COVID-19", but not with "Chinese Coronavirus" 
I know that this all started from China, but there are lots of debates who created the virus. And I'm not sure he got tested positive with Chinese version of covid-19, but most probably by its already evolved form. So its not Chinese, but local.

Naturally the patriotic thing to say is that this was proudly made in America. After deliberately promoting people to get infected, making sure a local strain and not the Chinese import did the job.

Now lets see if they can recover, he is in the danger group, very old. Melanie is probably safe, i think?

when 130m vote and you show me 1300 cases.. thats not even a 1%.. heck not even 0.1% nor 0.01% .. but its 0.001%

so if trump wants to think the election can be rigged becasue of a 0.001% sway in count.. then that is a massive exaggeration

if there was a 10% fraud.. he'd have a point. but finger pointing 0.001% is 10,000x exaggeration of the impact voter fraud has

[Renampun]

Trump being infected with the coronavirus is horrendous news around the world..
this is due to him too trusting his personal health assistant who said that he is immune to corona. it looks like the United States elections will be disrupted because of this.

Read the facts and understand before blabbing garbage. The convictions are NOT typically for single vote frauds.

For example,

"Louis Wise was involved in a scheme that offered cigarettes and money to homeless people on Skid Row in exchange for fake signatures on ballot initiatives and voter registration forms. This resulted in hundreds of fraudulent signatures. He pleaded no contest to one felony count of subscribing a fictitious name, or the name of another to an initiative petition and registration of a fictitious person. He was sentenced to a suspended sentence of 16 months in state prison and three years of formal probation."

Totally agree. Close your inappropriate thread. And let's be civil, let's show Trump the empathy he considers appropriate.

read the actual facts. 'hundreds' a few thousand is not and no were near millions.
i truly understand and recognise your loyalty to trump. i get it. but. take off the loyal red hat and actually think like a human.
you are trying to defend trumps exagerations to such an extent that you are starting to look foolish.
if you atleast put a brave face on it and said. 'yea the numbers are not enough to actually affect the final tally. but it happens'. fair enough. but you are not saying such. instead your trying to make it sound like voter fraud is soo rife that it can change the balance of an election result.. and your saying that purely because thats trumps thoughts.
seems when it comes to trump you turn off your own independant mind and just go full trump repeat
try to tone down your trump obedience. its not going to win you any prizes
