Trump will be remembered for many things. In addition to his mental state, a lack of dignity will be one of them.

as Trump and his people? I'll actually be a little impressed with that, but more amazed at the insanity. They should wait a week or so, so they could at least lie about Trump testing negative.

If it's some set up where Trump is isolated, then the issue is if they can get a coherent segment where he seems well. If it's something obviously edited, that won't help a bit.

During the coronavirus pandemic, Siegel frequently appeared in conservative media where he pushed medical advice that contradicted Center for Disease Control guidelines.[5] In March 2020, Siegel incorrectly claimed that the coronavirus "should be compared to the flu. Because at worst, at worst, worst-case scenario it could be the flu. He has praised President Donald Trump's handling of the pandemic.
