Trump's going to get the virus...

He won't survive it, and that's how this story is going to end.

He's such a reckless, desperate fool - he can't avoid getting infected - and most likely very soon.

One more super-spreader event should do it.

He'll go down in history as the worst American president. One who committed treason by conspiring with Russia to steal the election, was impeached, allowed the U.S. to be overrun by Covid-19, admitted to slowing down testing for the virus, suggested Americans inject themselves with disinfectant, led a movement to reject the wearing of protective masks, and finally caught the virus himself, which he quickly succumbed to.

He's been whistling past the graveyard all year. And he has put far too much trust in those Covid tests he takes every day and that he insists on for any WH visitors. There are both false positives and false negatives.

His stupidity and vanity will be the death of him. Sadly, it has been and will be the death of hundreds of thousands of Americans too.

Near people. Everyone is not tested everywhere he goes.

Only fools get as cocky and overconfident as he does with something as deadly as this virus.

They've righteously (? I know, it's idiotic, but they would say it's righteous not to test because Trump says testing=bad except for those in his immediate vicinity) stopped testing others who are coming into the White House-- the entire staff.

So-- KA Conway (just to pick someone) comes chirping in with her crazy eyes and gets tested today because she's going to go into the Oval Office and babble to the president.

Along the way from the test, she passes a few low-level staffers who aren't "good enough" to get tested. She stops to chat. Unbeknownst to any of them, one of the young staffers was out last night at a DC cigar bar drinking shots and toasting to the refrain of "Lock Her Up!" and "Free Manafort!". He is so excited that he gets to tell this to a bigwig, and he pulls out his phone and shows KAC the hilarious photos of him with the punching bag with Soros's face on it.

Then KAC goes in and does whatever the hell she does in the Oval Office. This involves breathing.

Her breath globules get picked up by the airconditioning and flung into Trump's face.
She wants to make a strong point, so she leans over the desk and says it loudly. More globules.

It could happen.

Hee hee.

He used to say he's a "germaphobe", which is another of his weird lies (like "I never drink" ) . A germaphobe would not have unprotected sex, as we know he's done repeatedly.

I'm sorry that we have to know that, btw. Ick.

Especially when you're boinking strippers because your own wife is so repulsed by you that she won't hold still.

Okay, so Melania was also pregnant...but that was just a front: she just didn't want that orange bastid touching her again...

...the CT-palooza will promptly commence, about how "the deep state" and Democrats "assassinated" him by deliberately infecting him.

And don't count on "reasonable" Republicans to refrain from playing footsie with all of it, winking and nodding at it even if they don't expound it themselves directly. Mitt did with birtherism.

If he doesn't have it already. And he's the type of guy who would never admit to getting sick, that's not manly enough for him.

The virus has a history of targeting stupidity. And honestly Trump's stupidity and failure to act is the best way for this nightmare to end.

Once he decides which country to flee to that has no extradition treaty (my bet is SA), they'll let the results be known.

He will already be in the air, on his way. He will for sure take Ivanka, and possibly the dufus brothers, but will probably leave Jared, Melania and the deadweight behind.

Hopefully the plane will end up in the Potomac, due to a well planned, yet unfortunate, engine malfunction.

To which the country will give a collective "meh"..., then burst into nationwide celebrations.

A boy can dream, can't he?

didn't announce that he did.

He and his advisors know they have very, very little to offer the American people as to why we should vote for him and that he is pretty much despised by the majority of the voting population - the last resort would be to pretend he got the virus, fought it bravely and recovered.

Trump knows that this is a reality television show for most people and it would be a great plot point for season three that would provide wall-to-wall coverage for him (will he make it ??!!?!!??). Our Liberal Media™ LOVES a comeback story - the 'Biden is kicking his ass' narrative is boring and the beast (and advertisers) must be fed.

...if he gets it, I hope he spends two months on a respirator, choking in his phlegm, gasping in pain, tubes shoved down his throat in isolation, clots forming his his legs.

Since he has never faced justice for what he has done, that would be a kind of justice wouldn't it, since out of ignorance and self importance, he caused hundreds of thousands to face just that.
