    Imagine if the last thing he sees is Biden's smiling face. It would be darkly poetic.

    He hasn't tweeted all day. There is no way this is a hoax. If it was, he would be tweeting up a storm.

    This seems to be escalating way faster then I expected. It hasn't even been a full day yet, and he is on his way to Walter Reed. Now, we can say "Precautionary measures", but all President's hide the severity of their medical issues like crazy. Reagan even faked like a bullet didn't face him, and he was in constant pain even before someone shot him. So to announce the President is being taken to Walter Reed at this point... yeah, this isn't nothing. Trump's administration is incompetent at a lot of things, but they understand the optics of not looking weak.

    Unlikely. The last faces he sees, following that line of thinking and not an actual prediction, would be a group of medical experts using masks, gloves, and PPE -- the very stuff he both claimed didn't work and also hoarded for himself.

    We've seen that before, when really bad news hits. Yes, I know there's a lot of circumstantial evidence here, but he could just be depressed because of the message he's sending. The self-proclaimed healthiest man to run for office is spending several days in a hospital bed while someone he called sleepy, low-energy, and senile is doing literal whistlestops.

    Per not-a-medical-doctor Larry Kudlow, it went from "minor symptoms" to a "moderate case" by this afternoon.

    If he's not tweeting, specifically about the campaign/news media, you know he's probably laid out.

    To be serious for moment, what happens if he dies before the election? Delayed for mourning procedures etc and then later goes ahead with Pence automatically becoming the Republican candidate?

    We can get this pandemic under control so we can get our economy working for everyone. But this cannot be a partisan moment. It must be an American moment.

    This is not a matter of politics. It’s a bracing reminder to all of us that we have to take this virus seriously

    Congress can delay the election if they wish, but January 20th is the hard deadline for Pence's term if he takes over. There will need to be an election before then.

    Must be nice on day one to be able to jump right into the hospital for hundreds of thousands of dollars care and treatment

    In other news Trump administration proceeds with taking away healthcare/insurance from 40 million people.
    Buh Byeeeeeeeeeeee !!

    Why are you guys laughing about Trump being in the 20-49 group? That sounds about right to me.

    We are talking about Stones here, aren't we?

    I don't think it works that way; Trump would remain on most ballots at this point. They would have to write in Pence. Not sure what happens if Trump actually wins.

    Because he ticks all the boxes on the list of Covid risks and waiting until his condition gets bad (if it isn't already) could mean its to late for the cocktail do have a lot of effect.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Pence is technically also on the ballot so if trump wins and is dead, then Pence would be president I assume.

    Voting in some states has already started. I predict a lot of lawsuits if Trump has to be exchanged on the ballot for whatever reason.

    They whine that people are calling karma against Trump for denying that the virus was dangerous, even though he knew full well that it was dangerous back in February. But they absolutely went after Chrissy Tiegan after she and John Legend lost their baby literally a couple days ago. Hypocrisy at it's finest.

    Pretty sure Pence takes all those ballots by default. I think. It gets messy. States would have to declare electors, and I image that they would just commit the electors to the party that won, even if Trump isn't alive.

    That said, I REALLY hope he is. I want him to get better, be healthy, run the best campaign he can, and lose. To get past this as a country, we need more then this one guy gone. We need his movement gone, and I don't think Trump going away helps.

    So I hope the piece of shit gets well soon. Thoughts and Prayers and such.
