And that would be fine with me.

That's exactly what I think as well - liked Andropov and Chernenko with no public appearances for weeks etc.

on a second test, yet others exposed to Bolsonaro are now testing positive, including the Mayor of Miami.
It would not be unusual to go from negative to positive on an RT-PCR, but near-instantly positive to negative? Not likely but?


So, I think there is reason to be suspect right now of what is coming from all the authoritarian (and authoritarian wannabe) leaders of the world right now. I believe those who still act as democratically elected and democratically-leading heads-of-state. That excludes Trump, obviously.

What gives you the idea they’re going to start being honest with us?

pattern and tell all that he has the CV, a 'chinese' virus of all things, considering that he's been ranting and raving against foreigners and the like for what it seems like forever.

When Trump stops making public appearances, assume he's reached room temperature.

and he would have a sudden personality change and start trying to repair the damage of the past 3 1/2 years. Melania might start liking him too.

There will be signs that things aren't right but I'm sure he'll get his treatment at the WH and just block off big chunks of time for "executive time". I don't think they'll make a statement unless he gets admitted to Walter Reed, in which case there will be so much action happening at WR with secret service and dignitaries that they will have to.

I hope to god he doesn't die in office, they will martyr him like the next Lincoln. Instead I just hope he lives and loses so that he can fade away (hopefully in prison).

unless whoever takes it over remembers to misspell and randomly capitalize a lot of words.

If the Tweets start sounding vaguely intelligent, Trump is sick (in ways than just mentally).

Of course, we'd probably be able to tell because it would make more sense.

I bet they have a plan.

he can't lie and meantweet his way out of this. And the fact that old people are impacted the most is just an extra fuck you to him.

you haven't been paying attention for the last 3 years.

He'll have trouble getting out of the cart.

His wife acted as gatekeeper and controlled who got to see him, and what information he got, according to a recent biographer. I can see Ivanka/Jared stepping into that role.

with signed presidential papers.

was hidden from the public too.

He is the healthiest potus ever, he eats covid for breakfast.

We are being lied to by every level of government!

service! What parks did you work?

At any rate, Welcome to DU.

for his tv appearances. Luckily, his reading ability was already sub-optimal.

they'll just use even more make-up and prop him up.

I'm just spitballing here.

to ignore all the self-quarantining protocols, and still show up in public as "proof" that he is a superhuman who can't be touched by the virus. He looks so bad already that it'll be difficult to determine if he looks even worse.

He'd be proud to be known as a "super spreader"...nothing he does, in his mind, is less than super.

You will know when funereal music is playing on the tv.

I doubt DJT even knows the truth from lies anymore.

I wonder if they'd tell us even if he had to be hospitalized?
