Davo Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Pence has been in close contact with Trump in the last few days. Just a reminder that if Trump and Pence are both unable to carry out their duties the current line of succession would mean President Nancy Pelosi. Link to comment

Davo Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The White House has confirmed that Trump has a fever and is being moved to hospital “out of an abundance of caution”. He’s elderly, clinically obese, refuses to exercise and now is confirmed as not being an asymptomatic case. This could be dicey. Carns and wendybr 2 Link to comment

His supporters will twist anything to justify their belief in him. The ones who don't think COVID exists will simply see this as a democratic conspiracy to try and win the election unfairly. For the ones that aren't that deluded, all Trump has to do is recover and he's like a superhero. COVID couldn't beat Trump! Anyone who dies from COVID is just weak!

The fact that he's now in hospital dispels the notion that you can get Covid and just get on with your life whilst in isolation/recovering. Just depends on how his team spin it as to whether his base change their opinions about Covid. wendybr 1 Link to comment

Davo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 His doctor confirmed they’re using an experimental antibody treatment on him. Everything’s a risk:benefit calculation but you’d think they wouldn’t try something experimental on the president unless they were concerned. wendybr 1 Link to comment

But Trump is a compulsive liar and it would not surprise me one bit that this whole issue is a façade. It could easily be organized by the White House. Announce the President is infected. Send him to a military hospital via helicopter. Have it plastered all over the media. Get the sympathy vote. Announce that special drugs have cured him. He comes back two weeks later recovered. Starts ranting again. It's his style. I wouldn't trust the prick if my life depended on it. He's an awful human being. sonar, Carns, Edinburgh and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Davo Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 If it was just Trump, Melania and Hicks I would have been suspicious but it’s too many people now. It looks like the announcement of the Supreme Court nominee was the source based on who’s tested positive. They’ve been told to wear masks and socially distance but largely did neither at that event so it just makes them look dumb for ignoring obvious advice and getting sick. Plus it’s got two Republican senators who they need for the Supreme Court confirmation vote. Also I think such a complex conspiracy with so many moving parts is beyond the Trump campaign. wendybr, Wanderboy, sonar and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Cynth Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 What everyone has stopped talking about is his taxes, his poor debate performance, his lack of policies, the economy. And the upcoming debates........ Maybe he’s got it but it’s very convenient to a losing incumbent. marron, Carns, wendybr and 2 others 5 Link to comment

Maybe you have more trust in him. I certainly don't. I have zero trust in him. I just don’t think they have the competence or capability to pull off a conspiracy like that. It is possible that they aren’t self aware enough to realise their shortcomings and have a crack anyway although I’d expect it fall over pretty quickly. They’re now up to three Republican senators testing positive and in two weeks quarantine, plus more who were close contacts and should be in quarantine. That’s the senate majority gone and two of the positive cases are part of the judiciary committee responsible for the Supreme Court confirmation hearing. If they don’t turn up and the Democrats don’t turn up they won’t have a quorum and can’t hold hearings. McConnell rejected a proposal for remote voting in congress so there’s no mechanism other than being there in person. I just see more downside than upside for the party. Trump is their useful idiot who gets them tax cuts for the rich and rolls back environmental regulations. Overturning Roe v Wade is one of their big goals and they need this Supreme Court spot. I can’t see them risking that just to benefit Trump. Carns, Wanderboy and wendybr 3 Link to comment
