I've been bringing up that story ever since Universal Health care was on the line.

It would be a shame if COVID-45 got taken down by COVID-19. A real shame. And if Mother's boy is collateral damage, that would be a shame too. Bigly. Then maybe President Pelosi could do something meaningful to get it under control.

Fine, I'll wake up now. We couldn't be so lucky.

things as plasma antibody treatments, new but unreleased vaccines, etc. All the stuff we peons aren't going to see for a year.

Still, he's in terrible shape and would be an easy takedown for this virus otherwise.

for the right thing to happen.

A plague, as Trump describes it, would not infect the President out of professional courtesy.

If he caught Covid and recovered...remember presidents get medical treatment we could only hope for... he would be a hero... “Strongly, beautifully, I OVERCAME COVID. Listen to meeeeee...you can beat it too just like meeee.”

If he died...a martyr for the cause.

With Russian and Chinese propaganda infiltrating our collective media and his own campaigns terrorist messages... it could get ugly fast.

If he gets it, things could get ugly for him considering his age and gender. If he gets it and dies, perhaps the no-mask dumbasses will rethink their decisions, making it better for the rest of us. If he gets it and dies, hopefully DC will be purged of the Trumps and Kushners. Pence can be dealt with... he'll never inspire the same sort of cultish devotion as Fat Nixon.

Yeah, lots of reasons why he should get it...

I just don’t want any scenario where he could be deified.

I would love to see his internal organs liquify and slowly, painfully ooze out his anus captured by a tube that’s hooked up to his mouth so he can in effect eat himself.

reading the headlines today. I was hopeful last night when I went to sleep but not yet....must be patient. If he does not at least, or I should say they, get a mild and uncomfortable case I will consider karma to be nothing to ever count on again.

This was inevitable. The White House isn't "heavily fortified" if they're openly flouting the CDC guidelines, and have been doing so for weeks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they're lying about his and Pence's tests, both the frequency and results.
