This is an unmitigated disaster for Trump, his campaign and the whole GOP. If it's a ruse, it's idiotic.

But Trump SUX at political strategy.

Yes. That’s what he SHOULD do, and, for that very reason, I doubt that he will do it.

A few died. But those that lived said they've never had such an ass kicking. It just sucks every bit of energy out of your bones. And it lingered for months.

Even if he is on his deathbed, he will admit his monumental mistake in his handling of this pandemic.

He has infected a lot of people, not just himself. I think we’ll start hearing stories of others who we’re close to him getting ill and that noise will drown out anything else.

Also, to reverse course on COVID is akin to Trump admitting he was wrong which would also be an admission that his previous approach WAS responsible for 200,000+ deaths. He won’t do that.

good Aryan genes and positive thinking will keep him safe. It was yet another con to play the base with his strength and how he fights for their liberty to be fn idiots.

Plays up all the conspiracy theories and religious nuttery about the bug being a punishment or a test blah, blah.

This is simply the grifter try to scam us and failing.

The last thing trump wanted was testing positive when he just predicted the end of the pandemic was in sight.

They tried to keep Hicks' infection quiet but "Bloomberg News" got wind of it and broke the story. That's the only reason why they fessed up.
