Donald Trump

Gern Blansten

When the news about Hicks first broke last night we know that tRump got one of the "quick tests."  

My thought is that if the quick test was negative, he would have said so when he tweeted about Hicks.  It was positive so they gave him the more reliable test which, again, was positive.

While my first thought upon seeing the positive result was that he could be lying to try to rally everyone around him.  I think the response to the initial quick test (if my theory is right) seems to show that he really did test positive.

I do not wish death on him for sure.  I do hope he gets some serious symptoms that makes him change his tune hopefully at least a little as it could help save lives.  

Worst case scenario is he never gets many or any symptoms and uses it to double down on the Dem Hoax.

I don’t want him dying because I think it’s important the go out disgracefully...I.e., losing. I want his movement invalidated. The country mourning him doesn’t help that.

Will he inject bleach?

How are his supporters who are deniers going to deal with this?

No more debates? Campaigning?

I have so many questions.

Well he says he has it.  He’s lied so much about so many things the cynic in me thinks what if this is just another play?  Like “look I got it and it wasn’t that bad”

But if he does have it he’s going to be freaked out.  He’s a huge germaphobe.

My first thought was “I got it it isn’t bad let’s open the country”.  We will see I guess.   Let’s see if he stays quarantined or if his immune system is the best and he beats it in a couple days like a miracle.

I’m believing this is real. Chris Christie was on Morning Joe earlier and you could tell he was rattled about it. Consider he’s a person of volume who had spent a good chunk of time with Trump earlier in the week.

They also listed all of the people who had traveled with Hicks the past few days. A who’s who of Trumpland goons.

Also saw a pundit commenting that Pelosi should be placed in isolation in case Pence comes down with it and things go south for him and Trump.

I predict this as well.  That said, still woke up to amazing news for once.

I would rather have 1/3 of the country supports him mourning his death than trying to violently reinforce him stealing the election and destroying the country. I still think it’s a sympathy play and I won’t believe it until the test has been verified.  He is a liar

I am conflicted.  My humanity would never allow me to feel positive about someone getting sick especially with something that could kill them.  That being said  hard not to think that Karma is winning today.  

And let's stop with the conspiracy theories. that's for their side. let's be better

Yes be better.   
Remember it was only 3 days ago he was in the same room with Biden.  This could be bad for the Country.

The fact that many of us think he's faking it. Says a lot about trump

I don't believe it until the WH doctor produces the actual test results and they are independently verified

even then I would be very, very skeptical 

me too. as much as I agree this is bad optics for trump and his handling of the virus, i think this might be a heil mary for the campaign.

Considering the possibility that a proven liar might be lying isn't giving into a conspiracy theory, it's pragmatism.

If he wasn’t president and he lied that much I wouldn’t trust him.  He has a years long track record of lying, I can’t bring myself to believe he for once in his life isn’t lying.

I see people here hypothesizing, not spreading conspiracy theories.  There's a line.

I did see the WH Physician letter that reflected the positive test.  If it were still Ronnie Jackson it would be hard to believe but I don't think the Dr would lie....maybe

that escalated quickly...
