    So you think "the leader of the free world" can't infect others?

    His first responsibility is the same as that of any other human being: to not to infect and kill innocent people.

    But being Trump, who couldn't care less about other people, if he hadn't tested positive most likely he would have fabricated some "exception" for himself.

    I have years of unemployment built up. But frankly, I'd be fine with an unpaid vacation. We've been too busy for too long.

    Trump is a germophobe. He never liked being physically close to people, except family, even before the pandemic.

    Anyway, he's feeling well and following the rules. Your speculation is amusing as always though.

    Thats not how unemployment works.
    Its insurance you pay for..Its your money, the same way if you wreak your car the payout is yours..Just because you pay the company for 15 years before you wreak your car doesent mean you get all your money back.

    For 4 months you had the chance to get $1k a week, without a work search requirement. Its back down to 350 a week like regular, with the work search requirement. You have to look for work again, unlike before, and unlike before you have to update weekly your work search.
    It gonna be just like work but for less money...not worth it if you make more then $10 an hour now.

    So just take a vacation with pay :p

    When they say Capt. COVID is going to maintain his normal schedule it means he'll be tweeting, watching Faux, having his hair and make-up done, scarfing down a few egg McMuffins, and effing up the country beginning around 1:00PM.

    Even the most radical germophobe isn't immune to a infinitesimally small virus. That's why people around the country are wearing masks and social distancing.

    I can't. We're backloaded with contracted jobs for the forseeable future. 'I'm tired' isn't an extrenuating circumstance that can bend contractual obligations. 'The govt won't let me leave my house', however, is.

    I saw the latest conspiracy theory which says that Trump got the virus from the mic at the debate - deliberately....

    It says a lot about leftists to read the trash posted in this thread against Donald and Melania Trump. The hate that drives liberals is so incandescent here that it could burn through solid iron. Watch the small minds snigger and kvetch because Trump and his "underwear model" got sick. These critics show themselves for the small minded bigots they truly prove to be.

    Well hopefully he's immune..still means he cant be around people without a mask.
    Immune/asymtpmatic Or not, you dont need to be spreading it. Why I wear a mask..I could have it and not know it..how bad would you feel if you killed someone?

    Yeah.... And we can only wish he had "followed the rules" before because he wanted to protect the people he's supposed to be protecting before we had deaths in the hundreds of thousands. And not just now because he needs to protect himself.

    So, sounds like you think that only Republicans who eschew masks get and give the gift of Covid. That must make you feel comfortably smug.

    I don't disagree, but while Obama was president, the right was expressing similar wishes upon him and his wife, who they call a man.

    It isn't "only Republicans" who resist masks...but it's predominantly Republicans...because they take the lead from Trump

    How's that working out?

    Incidentally he is NOT asymptomatic. He is showing symptoms.

    ~ There were no "rules" . According to the experts Wuhan virus was not a concern for the U.S.. The scientists are still learning. At least now they have to admit it.

    Yup. Stop accusing team "other" of slinging mud, when you are a mud slinger as well.

    It's hypocrisy.

    Is he faking it so he doesn't have to embarrass himself in the next debate?

    Don't confuse reality with what Trump told you.

    There is always one rule when there is danger of an impending disaster: Prepare!

    But nobody can prepare when the person who was supposed to be in charge is telling them that it will go away "like a miracle" and that "it's under control" when it's not. And then hides the facts, as he knows them, from the people and, instead, lies!

    This presents a dilemma for the MSM and the internet shill army here and elsewhere.

    1. Emphasize that the POTUS and FLOTUS are in significant danger, accompanied by frequent media updates and coverage, thus likely engendering unwanted sympathy and humanizing coverage of Trump close to the election? BTW this is also newsworthy enough to make advertisers happy and deflect from media DISASTERS like dishonest RIOT coverage.

    2. Mostly ignore coverage of Trump's COVID thus revealing COVID as the political hoax it has always been?

    If they can't manage the above dilemma, what "LOOK A SQUIRREL!" will they pivot to? The "disavow white supremacy for the Nth time" didn't work, actually backfiring, other "news" in the cycle is long in the tooth.

    SO will they give sympathetic coverage of Trump's COVID maybe breathing some life into the ruse? Will they risk engendering sympathy while showing COVID fakery? Will they fabricate a deflection?

    What will they do? What WILL they DO? Stay tuned.
