Had a thought. It’s an exit strategy to avoid the electoral bloodbath coming.

Mrs. Awiztherewas says if he survives he will be out saying it was just a cold.

How severe? Not severe enough, IMHO…

Some of his closest aides sensed on Wednesday that Trump “was feeling poorly,” and seemed “exhausted,”

Hey Donnie join the rest of the world.

Trump’s very own grandfather likely died of the Spanish Flu. Old news, I know.

Of course it is. But if it weren’t there, we’d be hearing nonstop yammering about why aren’t you covering this big big news.

Irony is not dead. We might not be saying the same about Fat Nixon.

We can tell what is happening by the tweet count. That they cannot disguise.

Nothing a bottle of hydroxychloroquine can’t exacerbate.

Of course this is premature. But it would be remiss of us and the news not to speculate on how all the scenarios will play out. And I don’t mean this in a snarky way, but a national and domestic security way.

A man went on vacation and left his cat with his brother. While away he called his brother to ask about the cat. “He died,” said the brother. “What?!!!,” replied the other brother. “You’re not supposed to just come out and tell me like that. The first night I call you’re supposed to say the cat is on the roof. The next time I call you’re supposed to tell me that the cat won’t eat or drink and you are worried. The third night I call you tell me that the cat died. Got it?” “Got it.” “Okay, good,” said the brother on vacation. “I’ll call you tomorrow.” The next day the vacationing brother calls and asks, “So how is everything going?” trying to make pleasant chit chat.

“Mom’s on the roof.”

This is just more fake news. How could a hoax virus infect anyone? This is obviously a brilliant move by the Chosen One that proves he’s playing 5-dimensional chess against Sleepy Joe. Yeah, that’s it…that’s the ticket.

Since I don’t believe anything Trump says, I have to wonder if he has COVID, or is too tired to keep up with his rallies.
My other thought is he will recover from COVID, that he does not have, in record time to prove it is no big deal.

Talking comorbidities, there is also the possibility of a TIA (mini-stroke), which is suspected as the reason he had to visit the emergency room last year.

President Skanky Manslut is very sarcastic and has a wry sense of humor. Remember, he fooled the mainstream media, Sara Cooper, TikTok, the Lincoln Project and even Joe Biden with his great joke about using disinfectant intravenously.

And he casually joked on the Wendy Williams show that he shared an interest in sex with Iwanka? All the conservatives I know found that really hilarious.

Notice that the President tweeted and said that he, Melaria and Hope Hicks got COVID-19 from kissing military and law enforcement folks promiscuously. That is the tell. Every conservative and the CDC knows that the virus does not spread from kissing.
