President Trump and US politics catchall

[MungoMan]

Donald and Melania have both tested positive.

For what? Being idiots?

[Kiwias]

[Green light echo]

Great news. The arch prick has just tested positive to Covid

[Carter's Choice]

Will be interesting to see how this plays out politically.

It could benefit Donald Trump, as people across the USA break out in sympathy for him.

Or it could work against him, by drawing attention to the spread of COVID-19 in the USA, and the 207,000 deaths that the USA has suffered.

[Enzedder]

Or, knowing this bugger as we do, we could wonder if it is all bull and he can come out next week and say he has beaten it.

Meantime no debate for Biden and Trump gets the headlines.

[ScarfaceClaw]

He won’t have it. This is a way of keeping him out of any more car crash debates and trying for the sympathy vote from the rednecks and racists.

In the meantime he’ll be able to snipe away from the safety of Twitter. It’s a great plan by his PR people.

Looks like his Twitter account has been attacked as well

Should just disappear. But if not, thank god a cure is just a few days away

Sorry about your phones.

Arse!

You could well be spot on with that. He'll also look like a fucken hero, either for beating the nasty virus, or proving it was not much more than a niggly cold.

[Enzedder]

Be nice to Mick M guys - he could be a little bit manic for a few days

The real victims in all this are the Mick Ms. No one will think of them.

'tis no more than a wee blip on my PC screen.

[obelixtim]

All those high risk health complications also - old,obese, bone spurs. Not looking good.

Wouldn’t want to be callous but couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke

Fuck him. "If you're gonna be stupid, you better be tough".

Karma is such a bitch.

Richly deserved.

Go Rona...

[Uncle fester]

Apparently doctors first suspected he might have it when they went to one of his resorts and saw that he has no taste.

I don't think this will be the case, his aides leak almost everything to the media, so if this was an elaborate attempt to garner sympathy you can be sure it will be leaked before day end

Oh it's real all right. The fat fück did everything possible to catch the flipping virus.

[Monkey Magic]

How long did it take Boris to go from, hey I've got it to, sure we need to get you into hospital

Jacinda has issued an order to get all NZ nurses overseas to come home immediately.

If you remember, one was credited in helping to save BoJo. We don't want to see a repeat of such nonsense.

You are a very bad man

[Rinkals]

Trump confirms he will quarantine

Sorry, but

'kinell

I really don't find the news terribly surprising, TBH.

[penguin]

I don't wish him dead, but I sure as hell don't have any sympathy for the twat.

I hope he has a nasty run with it, because it might have a positive message for his supporters and the anti-mask knobheads about the gravity of the situation. Maybe some will start to do the bare fucking minimum that they've been asked for.

Normally I wouldn't wish anyone dead. And maybe not Trump even. But I think the USA would be better off if he was incapacitated for the rest of his term. As long as he then didn't manage to get voted in again anyway.

I know what you mean.

I'm going to be interested to see how it plays. Does it draw out some sympathy for him? Does a very light brush make him look strong in the eyes of the voters, and help cement his general covid-downplaying message? Does him having to shut the fuck up for 2 weeks and stay away from people actually help him?

The polls seem to be showing Biden leading from anywhere between 3 and 9 points in the majority of swing states, so there is already a sense that Trump is losing...does this further increase that sense he is on the slide and going to lose. Americans love a winner, and Biden seems to have good momentum.

The other thing that occurred to me is what the Q anon nutjobs do if he dies of covid...considering the lunacy they can drum up out of the most mundane things, imagine what they can do with a presidential death!

[sturginho]

What happens if he is incapacitated, still wins the election but then isn't able to return to work after the election? Pence serves the whole second term?

[Hal Jordan]

They'll say Pence had him killed to get the Not Trump GOP brigade back to the voting booths

Yes, I struggle to wish anyone dead, particularly as he has a family that obviously loves him.

But, he is such a cunt and the world would be a better place....

Pence has been in close contact as well.

Pelosi will be the boss.

This is without a doubt, the only Positive news story out of his Presidency !

Yanks have been shown they are capable of voting in a man in intensive care on a ventilator as their next President.

As long as the electoral college doesn't go haywire at that point, then yes. Pence would server out that term, and would then be eligible to run at the next election (assuming he hasn't also been infected....)
