Oh, he got infected with a hoax? How'd that happen? Somebody get this guy some injectable disinfectant and UV light.

Let's take a look back at some of the things Trump has said about covid in the past:

January 24th: “China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

March 12th: "You know, you see what's going on. And so I just wanted that to stop as it pertains to the United States. And that's what we've done. We've stopped it."

April 3rd: "I just don’t want to be doing -- somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful resolute desk, the great resolute desk, I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know, somehow I don’t see it for myself. I just don’t. Maybe I’ll change my mind."

September 14th: Trump, was asked if he is afraid of Coronavirus risk at his rallies: “I’m on a stage, it’s very far away, so I’m not at all concerned.”


ps: to non-Americans, this is not actually a "major blow" to our country; we'll be fine, or else our rate of decline isn't on the increase, anyway...

he has a virus, but seems that it is asymptomatic, if i heard it well
maybe they will postpone elections, do not know about the procedure, but that seems as rational idea, and probably there is some clause that "due to higher cause" elections could be postponed by month/two, and until then everything will probably be back to normal

it will certainly influence elections either way, and people will probably be more emphatic for Trump, so he will higher his chances to win the elections, IMO

What's the big deal? So he has has been infected with a minor virus, and if he is healthy, he will recover and retain his immunity to future infection. Isn't that an advantage if he remains the president of the country that probably developed the virus anyway.
