    Signs point to yes!



    The refusals to test on Tuesday and the sweatiness seems like a big tell.

    She’s likely afraid his cult will come after her if he passes from this.

    Could this explain his bad debate performance? Hopefully he does better if there is another debate. An illness like this can change a man

    We know Trump never takes responsibility so this would fit his MO

    Ten members of Trump's inner circle and Capitol Hill allies have now tested positive, including at least four strategists who helped him prep for Tuesday's debate (campaign manager Bill Stepien, Hope Hicks, Kellyanne Conway, and Chris Christie) and three GOP senators (Mike Lee of Utah, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin).

    Not postponing an appearance(s) despite knowing you have a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease... Maskless on top of that.

    Yeah I hope an illness like that can mentally change him.

    Nowhere to go but up, right?

    Trump being Trump explains his debate performance. He did exactly what you'd expect him to do without Covid.

    I think that's more easily explained by who he is, as indicated by the preceding 10 years or so.

    He's already shown that he won't follow the rules laid out by the debate commission. He shouldn't be permitted another debate. Law and order.

    His disruptive tendencies?

    Even worse when he is fully healthy.

    A good clue you're spreading fake news when your source begins with "a friend of a friend who ..."

    Name one person watching the debates who said "oh look. Trump is displaying symptoms".

    You're starting to come across as half of my FB feed who are Trumpers.

    No, this is an instance of valid speculation. He didn’t show up to the debate on time for a test, as he should have, and shortly after he publicly acknowledges that he is positive (after his aide discloses the same). That is suspicious.

    And Trump is exactly the sort of person who’d insist on hiding a positive diagnosis before a big televised appearance, despite putting others at risk. Someone else would have to intervene to prevent him from doing so, and there’s all the evidence to suggest that he has surrounded himself with people who don’t have the integrity or backbone to do this.

    Maybe you think he deserves the benefit of the doubt on this one. I don’t.

    I actually wondered yesterday why this hadn't come up yet.

    The question is why would he? It has no affect on the debate because him having it is bad regardless and at some point iits gonna be known and him having it is gonna cancel any news including who won the debate

    You know he isn’t saying that but yes Trump should have let Biden bluster and talk - the more Biden speaks without the teleprompter the more he sounds gaffe
