Best way to not test positive was not to test at all like he said. Guy also did poke at Biden for wearing masks other day. Key follow ups include
- is Trump going to wear a mask in front of everyone now to stop spread or sit in his room / closet / basement (where he actually went couple of months ago)?
- is trump going to cancel rallies that many people apparently join but told Biden no would go to his? Wisconsin already got relocated before this
- is trump going to cancel debate coming up in two weeks? Too close to quarantine period
biden is sitting there laughing so hard right now
are you going to stfu?
STFU intern.
Biden laughing?? Are you retarded, they just had a debate and definitely came into contact. With biden's age I wouldnt be laughing if i were him
Well Biden’s wife got on stage after debate w mask. Trump wife didn’t. Biden and wife tested negative today. Guess I’m little less retarded now but hey at least Biden was being careful unlike this crew

Worth noting that other world leaders who tested positive for COVID--Boris Johnson in the UK and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil--enjoyed sizeable polling bumps in the weeks following testing positive. Obviously the situation is very different in this case, coming much later in the pandemic and before a very different electorate. But personally feel as if the cheers from the Biden team may be a bit premature
More like non-existent. It's easy to think that just because one side lacks any empathy or human decency whatsoever that both sides do, but no one on "Biden's Team," including the Vice President himself, has cheered this news.
I think he meant in terms of the polls
"It is what it is."
I can already see the press conference: "I am so strong I have the hardest, meanest, toughest immune system there is. I don't know anyone with an immune system like mine".
Jokes aside, if he does not get very sick from it to the point where he has to cancel the rest of his campaign, I believe that he could turn this out to be positive for his polls.
Antibody tests used to determine if people have been infected in the past with COVID-19 might be wrong up to one-half of the time, CDC said in new guidance. The tests are not accurate enough to use to make important policy decisions, according to CDC.
WHO stands by recommendation to not wear masks if you are not sick or not caring for someone who is sick
By Jacqueline Howard, CNN
Wait what
Antibody test is different from a swab test that Trump probably did.

tRump is in several high risk groups. He is elderly, obese, and low income.
The low income attribute is funny. I am skeptical of this POTUS to the point where I am questioning whether it is true or a clever plan to get some votes.
It’s sad, but based on this guy’s record, you are right to be skeptical. It crossed my mind too that this could be a lie. It would be a stupid plan, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t try it. From the reports I’ve read, this is the real deal, he’s said to be showing symptoms.
You could have just taken 2 minutes to do the research on your own to see that him and Melania do have Covid...
Same thoughts, I am also skeptical
Joke of the year. This just made my day. Thanks
Using this today at the office for sure
Have a SB
Already back in the office? Is your firm fully back in or rotational?
lol saw this on reddit just now. Everyone should go to the reddit thread. Comments are lit
got a link? I went to Reddit but couldn't find much good on this...
Is it wrong to root for the virus?
Yes, of course it is wrong.
Also weren’t you previously in the hospital with the virus? Not really a good look imo.
I will consider my 5 weeks in the hospital time well spent, and will name my child COVIDA, if it takes tRump out for the good of the nation.
Actually, it might be considered patriotic by some to root for the virus.
I think more attention is going to fall on Pence and whether he is capable to lead the country. Even if Trump doesn’t fall gravely ill or have permanent organ damage, this has just shown that Trump is getting older and can succumb to disease.
Breaking: Old people can potentially succumb to diseases. More at 5, back to you Dan.
Everybody "knows" that old people can succumb to disease, but it's different when Trump has COVID.

This isn't rocket science...
First of all, I wish President Trump and the First Lady well.
Second, the guy f***ing deserves it.
EDIT: Although it looks like what went around came around for Trump, the above was inappropriate. I apologize in advance in case Trump gets gravely ill.
Karma's definitely a bitch though
Whether you like him or not, Trump is the president of the US. A time like this is a time for us to come together. If you want to argue about who “deserves” Covid, create another thread for your hot take.
Ok Prospect.
Why do you think I said this?
Also Trump's been so cavalier about this whole situation not wearing masks when he should and telling people that it's okay. People going to his rallies getting COVID on top of that. I'd say it's a fair statement.
Maybe tell that to the divider in chief.
That is bullshit with a capital B. Why should anyone rally around him when he does not give a shit about anyone but himself?
Spooktober's only 2 days in and already throwing some massive curveballs. If he dies, the market is going to shit itself like it's contracted cholera. If he lives, those next debates we'll all be choking on the smug. 2020 just keeps on coming.
Good year for options traders.
Straddle, Straddle, Straddle
I wish I'd been doing this. I'm up handsomely YTD but could've been up enough for a new house if I'd just grown a pair, levered up, and straddled the fuck out of Tesla/Apple/Amazon.

I think the Covid news might be bad news for dems. If Trump dies or can not perform his duties as POTUS. Pence would be the new POTUS. People might be more likely to vote for Pence.
That's actually possibly true. tRump is far more polarizing,that's for sure. If tRump died in the next couple of weeks then I suppose Pence would be the GOP ticket leader. He's far less polarizing than tRump, but also far less visible and known. He's made a point of hiding in the background. I wonder what would happen.
I think the highest-probability scenario is that this will actually help him politically. Of course there's a significant downside risk, but it's not as likely to materialize.
He's in a higher-risk category, but he also has the best possible healthcare. And the treatment protocols are significantly better than they were in March. Odds that he'll die are fairly low, and that he'll be hospitalized are higher but still substantially less than 50%. And if his case turns out to be mild to moderate - which, statistically speaking, is the most likely outcome- then his own experience will reinforce the attitude he's had about COVID all along. Again, anything is possible.
I see three outcomes:
- mild illness, which reinforces attitude he has had
- severe enough illness to remove him from race, Pence runs at top of ticket I believe
- severe illness but he runs anyway
If Pence gets top of ticket would Trump be VP?
