Trump Has Got Corona!

[Sunk]

He just tweeted

// Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER! //

[ichkeria]

He is talking about a Mr and Mrs Alphonsus Hilter of Edgware, N London, who took ill on Muswell Hill golf course and took refuge in a sand trap :-)

// "I survived coronavirus. I survived it 100%. nobody survived it better than me".....//
I am ashamed I imagined:
" ya gardda vote for me - I gotta pair of barlz big and boodiful they are. Melania loves them - - and me. And that Sleepy Joe if he gart covid who would tell ?"

and the markets want trump and not biden

[allenlondon]

Precisely ichkeria. Mr & Mrs Hilter of Edgware were a nasty pair, lying, cheating, general bad eggs.

Curiously, the dimwitted of NW London loved them, fawning on their every inarticulate word, and never realising that this was the Emperor (and his ‘first lady’) who Had No Clothes.

// (b) isn’t this laying the ground for postponing the election ... //

There is no mechanism for postponing the election, at least not one that's under Trump's direct control.

[bhg481]

The election cannot be postponed but the Republicans have the option of changing their candidate if they wish.

Thanks for the correction, I thought Johnson had been very ill with the virus.

7,500,000 Americans have had the virus. Over 200,000 have died. We have been out of the step with the rest of the world in trying to protect our citizens. We have a worse record than China and Indian who have bigger populations than us. Our President and Governors have let us down badly.
Hopefully, if any good comes out of this, it may be that POTUS begins to to stop denying Coronavirus is not a problem, and begins to deal with it.

I was particularly struck by how, at the debate recently, Trump's family and a lot of Trump's advisors were refusing to wear masks in spite of the rules at the venue. Leaving aside the fact that it was horribly arrogant of them (especially when an official at the venue clearly tried to point out the rules and offer them a chance to put masks on), I'm going to bet that that's the last time we'll see Trump's family breaking such rules.

It's easy to be flippant when the problem only affects other people.

Alright, I can’t comment on what ****s do, so I’ll try this.

Tora 1013, naomi 1016, Tora 1017. All examples of the Ad Hominem tactic favoured here - go for the man, not the ball.

Allen, that wasn’t an attack. Reading your earlier post bizarrely comparing Trump to Hitler it was the natural conclusion.

[youngmafbog]

Nasty left still at it.

[allenlondon]

That’s better! Run your stick along the bars and hear the barking.

Who said Hitler? Not me.

Who said ‘attack’? Not me.

Losing it, or what?

[Zacs-Master]

Ignorant right still commenting.

I'm not going to enter the fray between smugness from the lefties and the faux indignation from the right, but I'll say this: I'm quite pleased that he has got it. Not because I want him to die, because I really don't, but it'll be good for him to feel a little of what others have felt. It might just knock him off of his pedestal and teach him a little much needed humility. I wish him a speedy recovery, but have little sympathy towards him.

[youngmafbog]

That ripe coming from you ZM.
