    Refused to wear a mask. Any one that gets near Trump is tested for covid every week

    Who's next in line if he is out of action?
    The VP Mike Pence, and then Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi if he goes down too...


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,483 ✭✭✭mr_fegelien


    What are the chances he'll survive.

    What would happen to the elections if he died? Would Biden automatically win or Pence will become the nominee and Americans would still have to vote?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 366 ✭✭RurtBeynolds


    It's probably BS, just a way to get out of the debates.

    Boris, Bolsanaro, now this lad. 3 countries with some of the worst responses to the virus, have all had their leaders test positive.

    Any chance they'll start to listen to the science now?

    I can't help but suspect this. Time will tell - faking a bit of a headcold is one thing, but faking a potentially debilitating respiratory disease which is particularly dangerous for the elderly? That would be pretty hard.

    If a top official in the WH medical staff announces this, I'd give it more credence because they probably wouldn't be so happy to straight lie.

    Just a way to become relatable to a lot of his disenfranchised voters who have fallen out with him over C-19. I doubt they have it at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,733 ✭✭✭OMM 0000


    Imagine being happy someone has caught this virus.

    Those of you taking delight in this are disgusting people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 814 ✭✭✭Macdarack


    If he recovers fast, he'll hover up votes.
    It'll be very interesting, I hope he'll be OK. He hasn't started any wars yet he's OK with me.

    Wishing the virus on them is seriously messed up, I imagine you like the whole Putin ideology of taking out anyone who doesn't agree with your political beliefs

    He hasn't shown any empathy to those who have contracted it or died from it. He consistently refuses to show any leadership to help keep those numbers down. I'm not saying he deserved it but it seems like a definite case of karma.

    I don't actually believe he has it, the next debate is exactly 14 days from now so this seems a bit too convenient.

    Stop lying.

    You are lying so you can justify your unhinged hatred.

    Depending on how he handles this and how sick he becomes (fingers crossed), he could win a sizeable sympathy vote out of this. Although I prefer the presidents who didn't get Covid19.

    Okay first of all when did he ever not have empathy over someone's death? Do you Know what goes on in his head?
    Also I think most politicians don't give a rats about deaths, some are just good at acting.

    If he pulls through this without any issue at all it will only serve to verify his downplaying of the virus and probably encourage anti maskers even further.

    In air was he's hardly the picture of health, if he shows up in a week or two without a bother ill be asking was it fake.

    It will be ironic if biden has caught covid from Trump he could have had it for last 5 days

    Expect biden to get tested tommie

    Did the shake hands at the debate

    Wow. The comments on here are absolutely despicable.

    I don't think they did shake hands but they both are on the same stage without masks indoors. Hopefully Joe is okay.

    Why? Even people in the highest risk groups are more likely to have mild illness and survive than not, at an individual level. So it wouldn't be that surprising

    Best post of the thread.

    Wish he an the wife recovers soon and then is hammered in November and we don't hear from him again.

    The man is a neanderthal, but doesn't sit well with me cheering him getting this knowing I have older relatives around same age would be vulnerable if they got it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 767 ✭✭✭barryribs


    What are you talking about?

    You're blaming him for 200k deaths, european leaders never killed anyone despite the fact that 40k of spain's population is dead with it, similar levels, if not higher than the US

    I can't help but feel like this is sabotage. He never looked at the moderator and camera, always spoke over at Joe and then three days later he announces he's positive. Hmm.

    I wish Joe a mild dose and a speedy recovery and the moderator as well. I'm only glad that nothing Trump has will ever be inside me :D

    interesting. i don't buy that he is trying to avoid debates but there could be an advantage from fighting off the virus.

    Yeah but I doubt your relatives were actively responsible for letting other people get it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    I wonder if this is an elaborate setup.
    If not, is Biden a close contact?
    Is he in quarantine?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,218 ✭✭✭✭Rjd2


    Pelosi met with Hope a few days ago, not her biggest fan but this is concerning she needs to get tested asap.

    Biden mantained social distancing thankfully and assume he is getting tested every day but would advise him to isolate for a while.

    Its pretty worrying as trump, hope and whoever else she passed the virus to has clearly interacted with a lot of very important people not just in the Trump inner circle.

    His clear inaction on masks, social distancing, a dem hoax, telling people it was a flu and will be gone next week. Floating ideas like injecting bleach or using light to cure it and basically telling everybody it was a hoax just to bring him down. Also being recognised as the leading source of disinformation globally would Kind of mean that he is responsible or am I off the mark here? I don't see any European leaders taking this line or I have been watching the wrong channels

    He's probably getting tested regularly no matter what, but yeah definitely could do worse than isolating. I was going to make a very original joke :rolleyes: about him been in the basement but probably not the worst place to be for him atm.

    He's probably the most disliked POTUS ever and has stoked a huge level of hate.

    It's no real surprise. He has had a massively negative impact on many people's lives.

    This isn't just some celebrity people don't like.
