Trump Tests Positive for COVID-19

Uh-oh

Ok, that’s as close to a red alert as we’re likely to get.

Credit where it is due, Biden is not a ghoul. He gets the 100% certified Legalsteel anti-ghoul certificate.

What an asshole. His dad has mild symptoms and he’s never been more proud of what someone has had to endure.

That’s a sheltered life right there. Meanwhile Trump has been downplaying the virus the whole time but the minute someone has mild symptoms they’re Eric Trump’s hero.

I’m watching live, and he just walked out and boarded Marine 1. No signs of difficulty or frailty.

Shows how futile this whole thing is. Unless you’re prepared to live in a plastic bubble the rest of your life, you will get sick.

In response to Trump coming down with Covid someone tweeted ā€œlooks like RBG just successfully argued her first case before Godā€

:smile:

And we could have two.

It’s not beyond the realms of possibility, to be sure.

No, it doesn’t. It shows how exercising even basic common sense with precautions in meetings results in people getting unnecessarily sick (and also derailing your whole campaign). So, is that ignorance, incompetence, or ill intent?

It might be, but think of it this way:

You have unlimited resources and an entire staff of people contingency planning this very event for months, starting with the initial outbreak.

If I were in that circumstance I would hammer aggressive treatment right away BEFORE it got bad in attempts to head it off at the pass.

So I don’t think it’s true that it’s necessarily an emergency. When you have an entire room of people spending months on figuring out EXACTLY how to throw everything at this event, they’ll often come up with great plans.

No, and that’s something more people should really appreciate these days (but don’t). Good show.

Yep he may be winded from the walk but again, unlimited resources and all the smart people usually bring out big guns early.

Huh? Dude who is notorious for downplaying virus and not taking any precautions/listening to doctors gets virus and now we’re all doomed to get it?

He has to be careful what he says, if he was rejoicing at Trump’s misfortune then some people who would otherwise vote for Biden might change their minds. It’s al for political points.

I don’t particularly care why he isn’t being a ghoul. It’s quite clearly not a common compulsion today and I will applaud him for not engaging in gutter politics.

Horseshit.
Let’s not pretend the white house is ignoring precautions. Let’s also not pretend that people who do everything their ā€œsupposed toā€ don’t get sick. How did Chris Cuomo catch it?

If I catch a cold from a coworker that touched a door handle 20 minutes before me it’s not because I’m ignoring common sense.

If I get ecoli from eating a donut I dropped on a dog turd, it’s my fault.

Yeah. Not to sound too winey librul, but that’s a far cry from the pep talk and pat on the back I got.

ā€œCome on back if you feel worseā€¦ā€ :joy:

ā€œOK. Hopefully not feet first. :+1:ā€.

Have you been paying attention to Trump? He’s been ignoring precautions this whole time. His Vice President went to the fucking Mayo Clinic without a mask on. Why did he do this? Because of the optics. Imagine that the fucking optics of taking precautions during a pandemic. In a hospital. He held big rallies and didn’t care if people had masks on.

Yes people who do everything their ā€œsupposed toā€ are still at risk. They are even more at risk because of people like Trump and their followers who absolutely don’t do what they are ā€œsupposed toā€ and belittle those who do.

Taking precautions doesn’t mean you can’t get Covid. It just decreases your chances. And no one has been more cavalier with the need for those precautions than Trump. It’s like you’re saying ā€œare you saying a guy who hasn’t taken this seriously is not taking this seriously?ā€

False. #15DaysToSlowTheSpread

It is, if you weren’t wearing a mask on your penis.

At the debate, Team Trump refused on wear masks and socially distance. They didn’t on AF1. Masks weren’t required in the WH.

Yep, and he’s probably doing it because he’s not a total asshole . And, he knows it wouldn’t be good optics to be happy about this.

On the other hand, remember this…

Stay classy Trump supporters.
