I don't think most of the people on this thread were callous. The problem with being a lying liar that lies is that people then doubt you.
I don't wish illness on anyone. But you have to admit that Trump has been very contradictory to the science of Covid. The lack of masks, making fun of Biden for wearing a mask, saying this would all go away like magic, the it is what it is comment on the number of deaths. He's been callous.
And now this news comes at a time when there's all this controversy going on about the election. The debate. The Melania tapes. The tax issue. He is losing in all the polls. And the one thing that is totally killing him in the polls is his response to covid. And so this announcement looks suspicious. I wish we could believe him. But the fact is, we can't.
And if it's not true and he appears to make a miraculous recovery with no consequence then we have more people saying it's no big deal. So while I don't wish him harm, there's a lot that could go very wrong with this entire scenario. And that's my very real concern.
So if that makes me callous and ugly that I'm looking around at all facets of this test and doubting the legitimacy of it, I'll own that. But you can't be the boy who cried wolf and then think that people are going to have your back when you need them.
I'll continue to pray for my country. I pray for all of us. On both sides. That light can lead the way for all Americans and we can come out of this dark time stronger and better.
But I am not going to be thought of as callous because I stop to consider the political implications of either a true positive test or a lie about being positive. I believe in karma. And I believe that Donald Trump is an ugly person. His karma is going to catch up with him eventually. It's sad if this is the way it will. I would have preferred him voted out and then taken to prison. I want him punished and justice to be served. I don't want him dead.

I’m stunned he hasn’t tweeted he feels great, which I take to mean he feels anything but great.
Karma man. Ain’t it something.

He lies all the time, so I am not sure I believe it.
Great way to gain sympathy, avoid debates, stay in the news, blame Pence for everything if he ends up in charge, and blame a loss on his inability to campaign in the last month. Pence may even get blamed for a loss.

Coney-Barret has been working out of her temp WH office. Was with dt yesterday. Guess no in person interviews in the Capitol for her new appointment. Could be a major issue ...
Pence was with him Tuesday, so....

We thought the debate was a shit show? This is a disastrous GAME. How one person can play millions of people (whichever way this test result is spun) and create such inescapable chaos is beyond my ability to process. #losing #allofus (I forgot that I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MaryMary ! I hope you had a day of being spoiled by people you love and made to feel special and celebrated!)

You people are sick and disgusting. Why have we never heard you say this about all the sick and disgusting things trump has said? Hmmmm.... All bets are off when it comes to him. Like many, first thought was that it’s a ploy to get him out of the next debates, or to “prove” it’s no big deal to have COVID. I wouldn’t put it past him and his henchmen. Second thought was I hope Joe is safe after being yelled/spewed at for 90 minutes. Mind-boggling what this country has for a leader. Thoughts and prayers.....

This feels orchestrated. I’m not buying it. I’ve always believed that if he got it he’d never admit it publicly. I agree the timing is highly suspect. Not to worry, a couple of shots of Lysol and they will be just fine.

Personally, I'm alternating between a deep sense of schadenfreude and resisting the urge to buy Melania's "I really don't care" jacket. I do sincerely hope Barron and the various SS and lower level staff are spared, though. Same. I AM concerned at all of the people he has been around this week. At least they will do thorough contact tracing. I hope that he recovers and has a newfound respect for the seriousness of this virus.

I really hope that Biden is ok and was not close enough to him the other day.
I care as much about trump having Covid as he would care about me having it. But this will definitely cause a distraction, regardless of the severity of his illness.

You people are sick and disgusting. Trump’s family didn’t wear masks at the debate, violating the guidelines put in place. They refused the masks when pressed by a Cleveland Clinic doctor. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. 🤷🏻♀️ There is that.

The sheer number of people he has been with this week makes me nervous. What happens if Biden gets it? It looked like they were six feet apart but the virus travels further than that according to the latest information. Heaven forbid Biden gets it. With both of them being elderly we may not have anyone to vote for on November 3rd!

I don’t wish death on anyone. But I believe mild symptoms will affect policy and attitudes in ways that will ultimately result in increased endangerment and suffering for too many other Americans. So I’m conflicted about virus severity. ☝🏻 This.

Na, he doesn’t have it nor does his wife. He said It’s a hoax, how could he get a hoax! I do not believe anything he says or texts. He supposedly took a regimen of Hydroxychloroquine so how could he possibly test positive. What a joke.

Im very disappointed in myself today. I was not a good human. I saw this headline and I laughed so hard. Its not a good thing to laugh at someone getting this virus no matter how horrible of a human they are, but I did. I am not the type to wish ill will on people and yet I laughed. You're not alone. So much for it being a hoax.

Only problem with that theory? He lives for his rallies. And he’s been getting his fix again, with a bunch scheduled for the next 30 days. This is where I’m sitting. He has a huge ego and is convinced he won the last debate. He has one month left before the election with countless public appearances scheduled. He has spent the last 7 months trying to convince everyone that Covid was an overblown flu. Faking this seems like a drastic step at this point with little to no pay-off.

What is he going to do now that that he can’t even golf while he has all this feee quarantine time? I foresee some golf course also getting put under presidential quarantine or maybe he will have to spend all his time watching fox...oh wait that is just normal business as usual. 😉
Well I am a skeptic. I have no faith on the truthfulness of the information that comes out of this administration...so who knows if he has it.
The worst feeling out of all of the chaos that Trump has brought to our country is that I don’t even feel like I can trust anything that is said or done by this administration, even some of the smallest insignificant things. I have never felt this way before about any previous administration, even those I haven’t agreed with.

If this is true my sympathy lies only with innocent people that may have been infected due to Team Trump’s refusal to take the virus seriously and behave appropriately.

With both of them being elderly we may not have anyone to vote for on November 3rd! This has been my fear for the last few months. That Biden would get sick (or have something else happen to him) and then all of the early votes that went to him are just lost. I will be so pissed if he gets sick because of Trump.

I’m sitting on the not a hoax bench. Not being able to campaign this close to the election is devastating—especially for him. There are plenty of other ways to avoid the debates.
My biggest concerns are 1) whether he infected Biden; and 2) what it could do to the election if he is seriously ill or dies. Ballots are already out in a majority of states and there is no clear protocol if a nominee dies before the election. It could get very messy.

I hope he gets super sick or one of his not minor children get it and get super sick.
I do think this might be a ploy to hide for the next 14 days.

I also hope that this doesn't take over the news for the next month (unless he gets very sick, of course). We need to stay focused on why he is not good for the country.

Though I don't wish COVID on anyone, if he has it and gets really sick, it's kinda just desserts. It would serve him right.

One positive if this is a hoax is that then Biden will hopefully not test positive, because he takes precautions and wears a mask when not debating. Biden would then seem “healthier” than Trump, blowing the “Biden has one foot in the grave” narrative that the GOP has been floating.
I don’t wish death on anyone, but if this isn’t a hoax, I hope that Trump has recoverable symptoms that are severe enough to hamper his ability to tweet and stand before a camera, while also instilling a realistic fear of the virus.
