I’m just going to throw this out there. Let’s say Trump knew he had it on Tuesday. What are the odds he’d go to the debate anyway and do his best to raise his voice a lot and spread it toward Biden?
High imo. Pozzing Biden helps Trump win, and he gives no fucks about other human lives.
Most likely he tested positive today, which still means he was contagious Tuesday in all likelihood, but if Hicks flew with him last night after they knew he was positive, we have to ask when he tested positive… He may have been covering it up and super spreading like a total sociopath.
“I just went for a test and we’ll see what happens, I mean who knows?” - ie. he knew he had it, plain as day. Not to say he’s faking it, but for sure he knew he had it before he said this earlier today.
Okay Trump just tweeting this out has to be bullshit I find it hard to believe I picture him as the type to scream FAKE NEWS until he goes into the grave. I am very skeptical of this. He would be the last to admit it. and he just tweets that out? No Way. He is clearly up to something.
I mean it’s fairly standard in the playbook. Any weakness in the presidency for the primary superpower in the world and the opportunities for global instability goes up.
That doesn’t have to mean Russia nuking the US. It could be Russian aggression in Eastern Europe or Syria, or Chinese escalation in HK or expansion in the South China Sea. It could be two smaller, non-nuclear countries who have tense relations having it spill over.
It could also be provocation from Iran toward America or Israel, or Israel toward Iran.
Something like certifying that Trump is potentially incapacitated has gotta be pretty locked down. You can’t have some random doctor just rolling in and being like “hello everybody I’m dr Nick, the President unfortunately has brain aids and the VP has to take over”.
I’m not sure what you’re responding to as far as incapacitation but just not being able to enter the Situation Room is a major national security issue.
Does it? Libs celebrating on FB/Twitter etc are going to turn off a TON of moderates and suburban women types who recently moved over to Biden.
A lot of people who decided to stay home might be activated by the left celebrating.
Did Boris get a bumped when he recovered? Although I don’t think that is a perfect comparison.
I dunno I don’t like this. I feel like any variance right now is bad. We were absolutely crushing, this could be bad for Trump sure, but it could be really good for him.
Variance is bad in general, yes. I think him dying is more variance, or him recovering quickly with no symptoms. But him being sick for a couple weeks or more from something he called a hoax, something he mocked precautions toward, something he said was almost over? That should hurt him.
Also the people that just wanted to go back to normal? This ain’t it. Dems have decried the lack of White House precautions. They won’t have to say “I told you so,” the media will do it for them.
Here’s a point I saw someone make on Twitter. They didn’t get Pence out in front of a camera tonight. The usual PR move in this situation is to do that to demonstrate stability and show that the next in line is totally fine.
It begs questions, but the answer might just be that this administration is completely inept.
