President Trump’s refusal to take medical and scientific advice seriously guaranteed that he’d personally put himself at unnecessary risk of contracting COVID-19, so it’s no at all surprising to learn that he has tested positive and is already suffering from symptoms of the disease. At his age and weight, he’ll be fortunate if he survives. More than 200,000 Americans have already succumbed to the virus, many of whom took better precautions than the president, and most of whom would be alive today if he’d done even a halfway competent job of leading the country.
There’s a good chance Trump murdered some of his biggest donors on Thursday, and they are reportedly “freaking out.” After the president learned that his aide Hope Hicks tested positive for COVID-19, he proceeded anyway to a prescheduled event at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort. While there, he met privately for forty-five minutes with about 19 donors who had paid a quarter million dollars for the privilege. They should have known the president was presumptively contagious. People should assume that about anyone who acts like a moron with respect to this health threat.
And Trump is the most visible moron on this issue in the entire world.
Even if Trump lives, associates like Chris Christie might not. We already know of others from the president’s circle who have been infected and are showing symptoms, like First Lady Melania, RNC chairman Rona McDaniel Romney, and Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
It’s okay to offer thoughts and prayers for these people, but it’s also okay to be pissed off that they’re so stupid and irresponsible.
At least one or two of this crew will be dead from this. If not Trump, then yeah, maybe Christie or some other campaign worker.
Rudy????
For four years all I’ve heard from this guy was one lie after another, maybe 20000 lies and now I’m supposed to believe he’s got the virus. Yeah it has nothing to do with getting out of the debates or maybe to spring a magical cure out of his bag, Riiiiiight! I will believe when few of the old farts drop dead.
The only way I see that making sense is if he has a miraculous quick recovery and then starts talking about how its no big deal to get covid.
There are already quite a few positives in the circle, it seems like this is real.
And of course he was going to eventually catch it. He never wears a mask.
Actually I am surprised at how long he has avoided it. But now he is in the hospital. Herman Cain would just love this.
I’m happy to offer them thoughts and prayers. Just like they offer after a mass shooting. Thoughts, prayers and the back of the hand. Thoughts and prayers and a good hard kick in the nuts.
He is doing fine they say and has no fever for over 24 hrs and won’t say what his fever was. All sounds like bullshit to me. He is either a fucking baby or he had a really mild case. I’m going with a baby who wanted to avoid maybe the next debate.
If Conley’s last statement is correct, and Trump was diagnosed on Thursday morning, then this might be literally true. it’s not even impossible that they didn’t know by Wednesday evening.
