Donald Trump has tested positive for COVID-19

[Zero Day Defense]

Cain had stage four pancreatic (I think?) cancer. He was going to die this year before Christmas anyway.

He survived what was advanced cancer, but I'm almost certain it wasn't pancreatic.

 

[Dutch Courage]

Holy shit. What if Trump and Biden both die before the election. What happens then?

If he managed to contaminate Pence, and they both die before the election, you may rise for the President of the United States, Nancy Pelosi.

I have to admit, I thought the election was the longest of shots for him at this point anyway, even without the other side cheating. But this may well seal the deal. Might be time for us all to stock up on lube.

Well Pence and his wife already tested negative

2021 - 2024: Years Of Pence

 

[Peasant]

It shouldn't be a problem, but he could have a really bad roll of the dice. Death is about the only thing that could keep him from getting a second term.

Bouncing back from the coof would be quite a symbolic victory.

 

[Bosmadden]

Pence will have already been tested. If he was positive they'd have announced it.

All in all this is a great development for Trump. Either he'll get sick from it and (hopefully) make a full recovery which will lead to a groundswell of sympathy or he'll shake it off and show how he's still doing the POTUS thing even with the deadly coof.

I'd be legitimately surprised if Joe Biden actually survived the election at all at this rate. He has rapidly declining dementia and now he's got a cough just after loudly debating someone infected with a lung disease that kills old people. Joe Biden is like a tired car with a blown head gasket, and he's on the starting end of throwing white smoke from the tailpipe, only you can't replace his lungs... unless he gets a new pair from China, that is...

 

[The Demon]

Poor guy. Hope he gets better

 

[thismanlies]

ITT, I see people shitting on the most powerful man in the world with the most important job in the world for contracting a disease that’s devastated over 200,000 families in America.

I fucking love you guys. Never change.

 

[Grog]

To people not in the Trump cult, this looks like a dumb reckless man suffering the consequences of his own recklessness. Absolutely not a genius 4D chess political maneuver.

How viable is a lung transplant for Corona?

Would not the illness be troublesome or make the immune system reject the transplant?

I mean I am sure they keep a few organs in freezer for high level geezers like him, just would it be a viable solution outside memes?

The body tends to reject organ transplants as a foreign invasion and those who get one usually have to get treatment to reduce the immune response, meaning that Covid would ravage him even harder, so it would actually ramp up his chances of dying albeit not of asphyxiation.

 

[Dang Woodchucks!]

Requisite "monkey paw post" reminding everyone that unironically wants Trump to die will then have to deal with Mike "Race Bannon" Pence.

Imagine that. A guy with all of Trump's ideas, none of his weaknesses or penchant of saying dumb shit, and at least a decade younger, so you know he could go two terms.

Do you really want that?

Trump has "mild, cold-like" Covid symptoms.

Trump 'showing mild Covid-19 symptoms' as he appears 'lethargic' at fundraiser

The President tested positive for coronavirus late last night, after one of his closest aides, Hope Hicks, fell ill. The diagnosis has thrown the United States into a potential constitutional crisis, just weeks away from a presidential election

Donald Trump is showing 'mild symptoms' of Coronavirus, it has been reported after the President tested positive for the virus.

The New York Times reports the President appeared "lethargic" at a fundraiser in New Jersey last night.

Another source reportedly described President Trump's symptoms as "cold-like."

And he reportedly fell asleep on Air Force One on the way back from his rally in Minnesota on Wednesday night.

The White House announced the President's schedule for today - which was to include a massive rally in Florida - has been cancelled.



A "treatment plan" for the President is being discussed by White House Officials.


And there have been discussions about a national address from the White House, or a pre-recorded statement, to demonstrate that he remains in charge of the country.

Meanwhile, the President's daughter, Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner tested negative on Friday morning.

Both were seen in close proximity to Ms Hicks in recent days, without wearing masks.

A Senior White House Official said that the President was "not incapacitated" and would be working from the White House residence.

However, White House officials said this morning there were currently no plans for the President to address the nation.

The President tested positive for coronavirus late last night, after one of his closest aides, Hope Hicks, fell ill.

• Melania Trump fumed "give me a f***ing break" when asked about migrant children visit

The diagnosis has thrown the United States into a potential constitutional crisis, just weeks away from a presidential election.

The US president, who is in a high risk category due to his age and because he is considered overweight, tweeted in the early hours of Friday: "Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19.

"We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!"

Trump has spent months downplaying the severity of the pandemic and been condemned for his handling of the crisis in America, which has suffered the world's highest number of cases and deaths.

Earlier on Thursday night, the president predicted that the end of the pandemic was in sight.

It is the most serious known health threat to a sitting president for decades, and it dramatically alters the presidential race just over a month before the November 3 election.

Vice President Mike Pence has today tested negative for the virus.

So do you think they'll come up with any wacky narratives when Trump fails to die? It would be pretty funny if they called his case a hoax.

So he has a cold at the moment. Panic!!!!

Calling it now, if he walks away from this with just a minor case of the coof people are going to be saying he faked the test for political reasons.

Dear Arrogant, Careless Idiot-In-Chief: Welcome To The Coronavirus Club


Looks like Donald Trump (and Melania "Give Me A Fucking Break" Trump) are going to get a little adventure in empathy. Whee!

Dear Trumps: if you're lucky enough to get the so-called "mild" version that doesn't require hospitalization, here's the first thing: The symptoms will keep changing.


Right now, Jonathan Lemire is on my teevee saying you had a "raspy throat" the other day. Ooops! This is the first thing: The sore throat, according to me and the other people I know who had it, feels like someone took a razor blade and slashed your throat, and it stays that way for a while. (Try the Vitamin C and zinc lozenges. They do help.)

It took several months before my sore throat finally went away. I hope yours doesn't last that long, I know how you love to yell.

You may or may not have a fever. (I didn't.) You may feel incredibly cold, like you were trapped in a walk-in freezer, yet still show a normal temperature. Whatever! Luckily for you, you have easy access to medical care and tests -- something you made almost impossible for the rest of us in the early stages of this pandemic. But bygones!

The chest tightness is scary as hell. It feels like a grand piano has fallen on your chest! If you're "lucky" like me, it will pass. If it doesn't, well, you have doctors watching you closely.

Maybe the scariest part is, the virus feels like it's knocking on the door of every organ and system in your body, looking for a way in.

After a few weeks, you feel better. If you're really lucky, it stays that way.

If you're not lucky, and you're one of the people like me who has what they call "long haul covid," you have several awful months ahead of you. You will keep relapsing, and during those relapses, you will suffer from enormous, crushing fatigue. Three-naps-a-day fatigue. (And no, Adderall won't help. In fact, if you have heart damage, you will have to stop tooting.)


If you can get past the terror, it's actually kind of interesting to observe your body reacting to this bug you and your administration inflicted on millions by so carelessly ignoring it. A couple of times, my face swelled up and hurt. One of the warning signs of another relapse for me was, my tongue swelled up, too. My hands hurt for quite a while. Neuropathy in my feet, too.

Oh, and the weird blood pressure spikes are scary, too. That time my BP went up to 265/154? Yeah, scared the crap out of me, especially since I normally have blood pressure on the low side.

From what I read, it can also cause severe anxiety symptoms, completely separate from the fact that you're already pretty anxious about being sick for months on end. (That doesn't help with the chest tightness.)

A couple of times, I felt like I couldn't quite catch my breath. Pretty frightening.

Anyway, good luck with that. I really wouldn't wish this on anyone, but I do get to be angry at the fact that your narcissism and willful ignorance made sure so many other people experienced this before you did, with over 200,000 dead.

And if you're looking for a face-saving measure out of your impending crushing defeat, well, you could always pull out of the race.
