Trump tests positive for coronavirus. Discuss.

I wish him well. I hope neither he nor Melania suffer at all from this let alone die. Trump is a vile man, but I would never wish death or physical suffering on anyone.

I do share the idea that he might get a sympathy vote here. I hope that doesn't happen, but I could see that. Hopefully it won't be in large enough numbers to affect the election.

I hope they recover quickly and Trump loses in a landside.

Trump was very irresponsible to go to a fundraiser event after knowing he was exposed to someone who tested positive. I hope none of the people at the event were infected. I hope knowing that he would put his own supporters at risk costs him votes.

Slow down coach, he needs to first NOT die, then turn around 5 or 6 states he's losing by around 10%

He's actually not that far behind. He just has to win NC, OH, FL, AZ (all of which he's with 3%). Then one of: PA, MI, MN, or NV. That would get him over the line.

It's all relative I guess, Trump's chances keep going down, he's now sank to 20% chance of winning. So if we held the election 5 times on average he'd win one.

He needs to win all top four and one of the other large PA, MI, MN, and depending which he wins make sure not to lose: IA,AR,GA,TX (at this moment Biden is as likely to win Texas as Trump Ohio and that's game over)

Nevada by itself won't do of the bottom 4.

I hope it is true and not something they say in order for him to win. After hearing so many say the US is not a true democracy anymore from the Scandinavian media it wouldn't totally surprise me.

A physician at work tested positive for almost two months

What do you think all those foolish cult members who attended crowded Trump rallies are thinking right now?

How's all that winning going?

The true cult members think trump is invincible and even though positive, won't get sick.

When you are stupid enough to attend an event like that during the pandemic it's impossible to guess what they think now.

He just won the election. No way will anyone attack him now and he's going to get sympathy votes. He's going to work while quarantining and show that it's not a death sentence. He's going to come out of this as a tough macho hero.

UH No! he called it a Hoax all year long. Two days ago made fun of Biden for wearing a mask.

The real issue is Trump knew Hicks had Covid Thursday morning, he did a fundraiser thursday aftenroon. WTF goes against everything CDC protocol and WH protocol...

As I always said with Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg when she was sick, same with Trump and his Wife, I hope they get well, NO ONE should wish death on anyone, but with Ginsburg and now Trump the Twitter feed has countless people hoping for death, which is disgusting (Regardless of politics)

My guess is Joe Biden will wish Trump a speedy recovery, as with Politics there is time to mud sling and there is also time to be a Human Being (And by showing Class by wishing Trump and his Wife a speedy recovery it would likely help him get votes as a bonus)

Trump getting sick will save thousands of lives. It will serve as a lesson to others and they will be more careful.

I don't wish him harm, but I do wish him a real sickness from which he recovers.

Pence could do the debates for trump. Biden would have trouble will Pence.

If trump dropped out, would Pence be a tougher candidate than Trump?

Why did Trump have the doctor release this informatuon?

Surely its a stitch up to deflect from his performance

The most likely outcome is that he comes out fine after two weeks. Even if he's on his deathbed he will go to great lengths to downplay it and make it seem like the virus was no big deal. He will inevitably use this to further downplay the virus and show that things should be opening up faster. If anything this will speak to his base and reaffirm some of the ideas he has already marketed towards them.

He's a terrible guy and I am viscerally opposed to his politics, but he's good at the spin game and this won't hurt his chances in the election unless he has a very severe case of the virus.

There won't be any more debates.

Anybody else think this is fake news? Could be pretty crafty electioneering...

the mortality rate for obese 75 year olds who don't believe in exercise has to be pretty high....

Covfefe!

Better question is why did he get tested in the first place? If you don't test, there's no virus.

Why wish him well? He doesn't read LR. I don't wish him well or harm. If he dies, it is what it is.
