Biden must be having the laugh of his life right now. Just the other day during the debates Trump was giving him shit about the size of his mask.
On another note, how the hell are we going to have an election now?

Fucking gross, get this shit out of here. Do not give the man responsible for this your sympathy liberals jesus christ, it's like the bare fucking minimum you can do.God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.
This might be the end of Trump's chances to win this election and we could maybe even get a winner on election night.
If Trump ends up in the hospital or even stops showing his face for a month the speculation alone will destroy any chance he has to win.
I don't want Trump to die from this. I want Trump to answer for his crimes. Him dying of this only serves to make him a martyr in the eyes of the right. Anything but an electoral defeat in November will only serve to engender his base when they need to be politically crushed and cast aside.
Trump dying doesn't bring any sense of justice or recompense to the 200,000 people who lost their lives quite needlessly. But him being exposed for the abject shill he is in a court of law and/or being rejected by the American people? I figure there's far more justice in that.
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
Trump gets to skip the next debate, so that's probably in his favor. But he also loses any opportunities to go out and campaign for the next 2 weeks or more depending on how severe his case is. Which can be very bad since several of those swing states are already in Biden's favor and Trump needs to pick them up.
Nor do I think he's likely to. As said, he'd be getting the highest quality care.
The impact on this is much more one of optics, particularly as quarantine ends ten days from cessation of symptoms; meaning that if the test is positive and he's symptomatic, he could easily be out of commission until after the election - no debates, no rallies, no Fox interviews.

What a crazy Thursday. Total karmic reversal of October 2016.
Considering that Trump can barely acknowledge those that already died to the virus makes him really undeserving of sympathy.
Thoughts and prayers, and a Merry Christmas!
Also, better reschedule that SCOTUS hearing...
Trump met for a few hours with his Supreme Court nominee and her team AFTER Hicks tested positive.
Ronnie Jackson on Fox News going out on real limb here saying “I know he’s in excellent health ... and I think everything is going to be fine.”
He adds “there are a lot of people who have had coronavirus and didn’t know we had it” and suggests the same will happen for Trump.
Thanks a tankie accelerationist account. I guess that's an improvement of you linking LongIslandPatriot accounts.
With the Covid going around, you should be more careful about letting your mask slip like this.

Am I alone in thinking this is all a ploy? I don't doubt he may actually have it, but for some reason I'm more inclined to think this is a stunt. Maybe it's the 20,000+ lies or whatever the number is at now. He'll "be slightly sick" for a few days, magically be better and claim it was because he took hydroxychloroquine. It's a miracle cure and he was pushing for it the entire time and all of those 200,000 dead would've been saved if people just listened to him! So now none of the dead will be on his conscience (not that he has one). It has the added benefit of sympathy, getting out of the next debate, and showing everyone how tough he is that he can beat something so deadly so quickly.
Maybe I'm wrong but I wouldn't put anything past this man.
