I'm still utterly baffled about what people think he would have to gain from faking it. Biden is out here healthy and campaigning while Trump is in isolation and his own wife refuses to visit him. I don't see what the angle could possibly be.

 

If you (anyone) thinks rationally --  

you (anyone) might *normally* expect other people to behave in ways that would logically methodically further their agendas.
Therefore you might be baffled at someone thinking DJT was faking it.

But DJT constantly does and says irrational things. 

I think it's rational to expect him to behave irrationally.

I'm just waiting for McConnell to test positive. Of course if he does, he won't tell anyone. Just like Chuck Grassley is just flat out refusing to get tested even though he serves on the Judiciary Committee. These Republicans are going to kill themselves and their families all in service to the cult.

I still say it’s all a ploy to take up news 24/7. 

 

Whether or not all this chaos was orchestrated or unplanned, doesn't matter.
He has COVID.

 

But what *does* matter *now*, is that he and the entire Republican machine ...

are trying to use the current circumstances as a ploy to take up news 24/7.

McConnell was asked if he tested on Friday and he refused to answer if he even took a test.  

The Republican machine and those with corporate greed/power ...

are perfectly happy to use the Trump/COVID news cycle

to distract from the issues of 

racism, voter suppression, poverty, the attempt to overthrow the Affordable Care Act,

the Supreme Court, Trump's taxes, etc, etc, etc.

 

There are so many important things going on in the world, that nobody is talking about.

Climate change!

I’m supposed to feel sorry for this guy?  Reports are he knew that he and members of his staff possibly were  infected BEFORE going to rallies and fundraisers in Minnesota and New Jersey, thus KNOWINGLY putting many innocent people at risk.  One indoor fundraiser cost attendees $200,000 to mingle, shake hands, take pictures, and potentially get sick and die.  What a nice way to support your supporters.

The party never stops.

 

Is it terrible of me to not care about the press corp all over twitter whining about Kayleigh having COVID and being in the press room yesterday with no mask. Are these people idiots. They knew she had been exposed and stayed in that room when she stood there with no mask.

Yep. There's a lot of people in the press not taking responsibility for their own behavior.
