What will Trump do if he doesn't get his rally fix?

Will he up his other drugs? Will he try to have one anyway before it is safe?

He must be jonesing.

For those that suggest a large screen or some streaming. No, he feeds off of the cheers of his adoring followers. Like some succubus.

Only live events will do.

Nah. He could just say that "many people are saying" that George Soros was planning to come to the rally to cough on him.

and the crowd will share viruses among themselves........

Secret Service agents and his minders may be dropping like flies, though.

He could do back to back guest appearances on their nightly propaganda shows. Maybe take a few callers, or do a late night talk show with his same rally show act for the cheering audience.

He will use a video link from the White House to the cheering mob at the arena. No harm no foul.....

They won't get sick, they don't believe in the virus.

Trump campaign announces Wisconsin event shortly after White House advises to 'avoid crowding' (USA Today)

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's campaign announced an event in Wisconsin hours after two Democratic presidential candidates cancelled rallies and the White House suggested people "avoid crowding" due to the coronavirus.

The president will attend a "Catholics for Trump" event at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee on March 19, his campaign said Tuesday. The event appeared to be different from one of Trump's rallies – which draw thousands of supporters to arena settings – but it was not immediately clear how many people the campaign expected.
