His normal outlet is his stupid rallies but he is too sick to do those now.

It would be laughable if he wasn't also destroying the nation.

He thinks he did great in the debate (which dropped him 8 points in the polls). He should repeat his strategy.

Just more FREE television coverage and abuse of power. He can't go out to have rallies so now we are getting a national address?

He's probably going to tell us that he's been spitting in bottles of Trump-brand water for the past week and you can now buy them for the low price of $100 each.

...which is why I think that the Trump campaign may refrain from doing this. Fox might be willing to just show one side, but Trump does not need to convince Fox viewers.

I hope he insults every last person who was told to pray for him and have empathy. Which he will, because he can't help himself.

I responded to that by saying it would be a win for everyone if he came out of this a more compassionate person. Clearly that won't happen.

Suddenly, they get leaked to the NYT and within a few days they are no longer the leading story, or a story at all. If this happened to a Democrat it would have been the end of their campaign.

Whatever ability he had to make good decisions, as tiny as it was, has clearly left the building. We are two days away from Trump announcing that he will be jogging naked around DC to show how healthy he is.

a National Address.

Whatever he says will be peppered with his trademarked lies and he's using it as a substitute for his inability to stage any of his Super Spreading rallies.

The networks should just ignore him.

Fox will air whatever he says or does - because he is desperate now with his declining poll numbers and he's just trying to maintain his base of deplorable supporters - so the results of Nov 3rd aren't a complete landslide and blowout against him.

He needs to have his deplorable supporters vote. He can't have them sit out the election or lose any more support to Biden/Harris.

He's got to show to the Repugs - that he still has his base in his back pocket or he'll be rendered useless - and won't be considered the leader of the Repug Party after he loses big Nov. 3rd.

like the they do for the State of the Union.

But I am sick of Trump playing the part of President Skroob and sucking up all the air.

Plus, coming into your house and taking a dump to make people sick of politics is a tired of politics is a tried and true Republican Campaign tactic to depress the turnout.

You can bet the Russians will be working online to support it.

like the world has never seen, about how he has more knowledge than anyone because he is infected, and how he took the risk and got infected for the American people. For each point, add a bit more to Joes Biden's lead.
