hmm... Trump taken a turn for the worse? Pence contracted it? Or did they finally figure out that GOP "events" have been getting people sick?

What a pair.

Trump is apparently pissed at Barr that there haven't been any arrests from the Durham investigation yet.

And Barr is pissed at Trump because he keeps talking about the investigation publicly and shitting on things.

Thus far, the year and a half long investigation has turned up...a single FBI lawyer who pled guilty to altering a government email.

By the Mueller standards, this is truly a "BOGUS WITCH HUNT". I don't think they've even paid for the investigation by confiscating millions worth of suits and other assets.

He tested negative this morning, if we can believe his staff. Apparently they're trying to keep him from burning out ahead of the weekend and next week's busy schedule.

Trump can't even afford air time for ads in Arizona Michigan and several other key states, and yet when given FREE advertisement on primetime network television with the debates, he's too much of a chicken shit bitch scared to even do that. what a little bitch.

They're telling us that they're trying to keep a presidential election candidate from burning out while campaigning with less than 4 weeks to the election, while running behind in the polls?

I don't buy it for a second.

Twitterverse is running with 2 hypothesis, either:

A) He has Covid, or

B) He's going back to invoke the 25th

Given that the WH has been keeping a covid case serious enough to require a month of hospitalization for a staffer secret, I'm not entirely buying the story either. This is when you run your VP ragged as the incumbent.

Guess we'll find out sometime next week, I imagine around the same time that the roids wear off of Trump.

[Rasulis]

Trump/Pence campaign need to come up with some edgy memes. They are totally being trolled by Biden/Harris campaign.

These were absolutely my initial two thoughts, as well.

No way they are pulling him off the campaign trail to keep him healthy. That makes zero sense given less than a month to go before the election.

Has anyone seen/heard from Trump in the past four hours?

I'm playing catch up, but yeah, those are really the only two choices.

As far as I'm aware he hasn't been seen publicly in more than 48 hours--"proof of life" videos notwithstanding.

Allow me to ask an ignorant foreigner question but what is considered a good, red-blooded American vegetable?

Bacon or Gun.

I'm...figuring that's just a Deadline error and they had a generic headline ready to go? Maybe?

Holy shit that was funny. Props.

Well, there's a Google record of the Tweet in search so it's not shooped so...uh...yeah.

This is not "generic tweet", this is, "they broke a press emgargo" by the looks of it.

UUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH guys?

So now both Trump and Pence have gone to debates with coronavirus without informing anyone.

Fantastic. It's almost like they're intentionally trying to infect Biden and Harris.

hahaha, I have to assume that's just one of the "in case it happens" news stories that newspapers prep. That's been a thing for decades. Until I see it otherwise confirmed I'm going to assume this was an "oops".

Not fully confirmed yet, but given the tagging on the post it seems like it's under embargo and likely real. So I guess we'll see in the next few days.
