Trump Tests Positive for COVID

I like Presidents who don't get Covid. Weak.
If the media and the left don't take the high road, how is that any different than how Trump acts on a daily basis? I wish he and his team a healthy recovery which I believe is what will happen.
Best wishes to the President and his family for a recovery. But I don’t expect he will fill stadiums of people without masks anytime soon. Even his most loyal supporters are likely to say, “uh, I will watch on TV.” The next debate is probably off the table now, too. This is a real blow to any chance he had to be re-elected-which was precarious in any case.
I believe in karma, in fact I believe we may be seeing first hand. Trump mocks Biden for mask wearing, he says the diseases affects "nobody", and his own kids refused to wear the required masks at the debate, despite being asked to repeatedly.
I certainly hope both of them get well, but the fact that this guy got this after mocking people who wore masks, including on stage during the debate mocking Biden is the height of Karma and irony.
Yeah I'd say this is pretty clear evidence of that.
Not good for the country. hopefully he recovers and has a few ounces of humility with regards to the virus.
aside from all of the media fire storm from this, the real question we will should come back to, is whether or not it even matters.
we already know that of the 200,000+ deaths attributed to COVID almost all of them are combined issues, and only about 10,000 are solely due to COVID.
What treatment will be receive and is that treatment the same that the public gets?
I stick with my non medical background beliefs on this issue.
1. COVID does kill and can be bad in rare cases
2. COVID does combine with other issues to make symptoms worse
3. COVID spreads easily, I still don't know if a mask works but I wear it in public
4. Without the other impacts, COVID is harmless except in those rare cases.
5. I bet many of us have had it already without even knowing it.

Anyone who is joyful and feeling vengeful that anyone is sick needs to check his or her heart and humanity. That being said... my President will kick the China Virus’s butt. All he does is win.
Here's what I'll say: I view this man's behavior as having lead to the unnecessary deaths of thousands of people. If he's killed by the very thing he refused to take seriously and encouraged other (some now dead) people not to take seriously, I won't feel one iota of sadness. Hopefully he'll recover and tell people that COVID is a big deal and then get obliterated on election day. Probably the best possible outcome.
If he openly comes out of Covid with nothing more than a scratch, he's proven that it's time to open everything back up. This has the potential to be a positive spin on his campaign. It only hurts him if he's hospitalized or so sick he can't stay active, even if just via video
That wouldn't prove anything at all. We already know that some people have mild or no symptoms. And yet....hundreds of thousands of people have died.
Can you articulate what he did that lead to deaths? I'm not really of the same view but want to hear your points to see what I'm missing.
It's pretty rich that YOU of all people are in this thread talkin bout karma. The guy that never missed a chance to jump in a COVID thread in order to hurl snarky kindergarten insults about Deep State conspiracies and dismissals in regards to the seriousness of the virus. If this shuts you up, karma truly triumphs
It proves everything......he's in a higher risk category so if he has flu like symptoms for a week and comes back full strength, you get the economy opened back up. What's your estimated death toll for poverty related deaths? What about depression from losing your job or addiction related?
"hundreds of thousands" is already being questioned. There is a difference between dying from or dying with.......the flu would likely kill high risk elderly for example if it ran through a senior citizen home.
What will you say when he has only a case of the sniffles? Since you seem so upset with me speaking the truth, putting me on ignore might be best for your well being.
He:
- Disassembled the pandemic task force
- Downplayed the risks early when he knew the disease was dangerous
- Constantly stated that COVID wasn't dangerous
- Stopped government officials and departments from communicating accurately about the virus
- Refused to say that wearing masks was important and refused to even wear one on camera until like July
- Held large gatherings of people during a pandemic for his own vanity
- Continued to gallivant about the country AFTER KNOWING he had an exposure
If I walk outside and get killed by a meteor, does that prove that meteors are a huge threat? After all, I'm at a low risk for getting killed by meteors.
The fact that one person doesn't have a very negative reaction to contracting the virus is completely insignificant we have a sample size of millions.
I will say he was stupid for getting tested; if he hadn't, he wouldn't be positive. Just adds to the fake Deep State numbers conspiracy. I could put you on ignore but I'd prefer to follow you around so I can mock your stupidity.
Well, I despise Trump as much as anyone. But I wouldn't wish this on anyone. He's in his 70s, he's overweight, he doesn't exercise... Those are not great things for him personally. On the other hand, he'll be getting the best medical care available. But when you die from COVID, you die in an ICU room gasping for breath b/c you can't get enough oxygen. That doesn't seem a good way to go to me and IMHO anyone that would wish that on another human is WAY F'D up in the head.
If you cared about truths or reality, you wouldn't be a Trump supporter. But since you're the expert, maybe I should have second thoughts about listening to scientists and doctors. Can you point me to your thesis so that I too, may be enlightened?
Should we start with the man-made global warming scientists?
In regards to CV19... if you’re older/unhealthy, take precautions. If you’re younger/take care of yourself...
keep l-i-v-i-n.
It’s really that simple.
I assume you feel this way about pelosi, cuomo, and debalsio? They were all encouraging people to ignore the virus warnings. In particular, de blasio and cuomo are most directly responsible for the largest percentage of deaths in the country than anyone, and its not real close.
You little devil, you tried to start your reply with a game of whataboutism, like a good little MAGA will. Anyway, I'm done with books dude - I will only listen to your juvenille instructions from now on! Thanks for the enlightenment!
removing the pandemic task force was a huge error on trumps part. There is even a video of him bragging about doing it. That task force included a CDC epidemiologist embedded in.... wait for it... Wuhan China!
So let's go through these:
1. He ran the task force until the threat had resided and cases were falling and the death rate slowing........those people had more important jobs to do like figure out how to fight/prevent/cure the virus rather than showing up to press briefings daily
2. Yes, he did and I can see why some might be angry here although this happens a great deal in daily life (like your CEO doesn't tell you things like "we are almost bankrupt" or the CIA doesn't tell you about every terrorist threat......it's the same thing, they don't want to generate panic
3. You covered this in #2
4. No proof of that, in fact quite the opposite per Fauci. Tough to even suggest that when the CDC change their stance weekly and he has zero influence there
4.5 - I'm pretty sure it wasn't Trump telling the Nashville mayor/governor to not share that the total number of cases transmitted due to bars and restaurants opening was less than 22 (they are blue not red)
5. If you say so but everything I heard was that masks were effective in helping stop the spread. What he said was that he didn't need to wear them in the briefings because everyone in the room was being tested daily
6. So it's not ok to hold a rally but it is ok to protest, riot and loot? You can't have it both ways so pick a side, either both are wrong are both are right. Pelosi seem to be doing fine breaking all the rules
6.5 - Biden also continued to hold gatherings post knowing about Covid.
7. Pretty sure he went into quarantine as soon as he found out but happy to research and circle back here
It's not one person, it's millions of people that have gotten the virus and recovered. In fact, the US now knows the virus was here well before January so given that it is deemed to have such a high infection rate, wouldn't you assume that tons and tons more people already had it? That would continue to bring the mortality rate to lower percentages.
If you walked outside, got hit by a meteor but only walked away with small lump on your head.......would just never leave your house again until the government made special helmets or would the risk be low enough to carry on with normal life?
Sweden certainly seem to be doing just fine........
What no one on the left wants to acknowledge is even the jobs that some think are safe, aren't. Corp debt is the next crisis, commercial real estate is the next crisis, tax shortages for cities, states, etc will be the next crisis......... the government can't keep pumping money into the economy without ensuring both us and our children carry the inflation and tax burden for the next 50 years.
I’m excited I made a new friend on TI, but if I’m being honest, I never knew of/noticed you until you responded to me today.
Have a great Friday.
Who has said they hope he dies? Have you seen anything like that on TI? There are always a few people who are wackos. Don't assume they represent the vast majority of people opposed to the president.
This is the only stat that should really matter. Cuomo made the decision to send those elderly people back to their respective nursing homes, that decision wasn't made by Trump.
Also, when Trump did try to mandate at the federal level all he got was abuse from the Governors who said they would fight him in court.......as soon as it got overwhelming for said Governors, they all just pointed the finger saying they didn't get help.
Cuomo should be the recipient of one massive class action lawsuit from all of the families that lost loved ones in nursing homes.
Anyone think the president will insist he be given hydroxychloroquine? People say it has tremendous potential to curing Covid.
By the way, anyone who thinks this will be a net positive for Trump doesn't understand political reality. He told people repeatedly that he was constantly tested and those around him were constantly tested so he had nothing to fear. No reason to wear a mask (and his arrogant family members felt the same way at the Cleveland debate).
Few people trusted the president before about the virus and fewer will now. Plus, the one thing he wanted off the front pages of newspapers was the Coronavirus. He wanted to talk about the economy instead. Well, that wish won't be granted.
He's done. Call Bekins.

That's complete bullshit. Just b/c you WANT it to be true doesn't make it true. I'm sure there are a few asshats that think this way (just as there'd be folks on the right laughing if something happened to Biden). But most people DON'T wish death on other folks. Now I'd laugh my ass off at Trump if he got a flaming case of the clap and had to get a shot so he could pee w/o that burning sensation. Wish death on him? Not so much.
