I'm wagering that Trump is infected.

[berni_mccoy]

Based on the people he’s been in contact with and the fact that the Brazilian official tested positive immediately after being in close proximity with Trump.

In a week I bet it’s official.

And I’d wager he’s been tested already. They are not answering this question when pressed. That is a glaring red flag.

[Claustrum]

1. I never believed them when they said he didn't test for it.

In face of danger or illness, rich people are the first one to get tested and get treated no matter how much it costs.

[NCDem47]

24. Because he says he has not been tested means he HAS been tested.

He's all in on showing the world that he's above it all and this is liberal hysteria. But you know behind the scenes HE...IS...FREAKING...OUT! I thought it was widely known he was a germaphobe.

[lame54]

38. He's probably hoarding the test and gets tested every 15 minutes

[underpants]

2. I was thinking that earlier

How does a Dr. NOT advise to take the test? Doesn’t make sense.

[leftieNanner]

4. But he's smarter than all the doctors

So he can make up his own genius mind. Plus he is afraid that he will turn out positive so he's avoiding the test. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

[underpants]

27. It would expose him completely as an ass after the "Hoax" comment

completely and forever

BTW - at first the RW talking point (I’ve seen repeated all over the place) was that he was pointing out the Democrats hoax....now they claim he never said it.

[smirkymonkey]

29. It would serve him right.

Karma is a bitch. Just not as whiny as he is.

[HarlanPepper]

3. They'll wait for him to recover before making it public

Hopefully he won’t, but if he does they’ll just say “see the libs wet their pants over nothing.”

[Bucky]

5. More worrisome, if Trump is infected, his daughter will be too, due to close contact

and if the infection spreads to Trump's ass, McConnell could be at risk as well!

[dewsgirl]

12. Oh no, we can't have that.

[Dem2]

16. .

[misanthrope]

20. So it's an STD?

I had no idea.

[Ilsa]

31. The CDC and WHO had no idea

that trump's ass was a vector! Who knew?

[Stevegberg]

23. LOL

[C_U_L8R]

34. Obviously, Melania is in the clear

[DENVERPOPS]

43. You are right

but all three should be tested for more than the Virus........STD's come to mind.......or STI's as they are becoming called out......

[Cognitive_Resonance]

6. Pence as well. nt

[Ghost Dog]

14. .

[andym]

7. If he is infected he surely got remdesivir

the Gilead experimental drug that is in clinical trials.

[DENVERPOPS]

47. Who ever makes up the injection

I sure hope that nurse/doctor doesn't accidentally use KCL..................

[leftieNanner]

8. If he is,

Then there should be a lot of nervous people in the West Wing right now!

We have joked about President Pelosi in the past - but this time, it might just happen!

[scrabblequeen40]

9. of course. who do you think gave it to the brazilian?

I'm surprised the media hasn't asked the question -- who exposed who in that photo.

[flibbitygiblets]

10. At a minimum he should be self-quarantined based on the # of infected people

he's been shown in pictures with, just in the past week.

There's no way in HELL he hasn't been tested. If he had been, he'd say he didn't have it. Even asymptomatic people can have it.

By not self-quarantining after having been exposed repeatedly, he's at best setting a very bad example for others.

[getagrip_already]

11. Not likely....

If he were, his path from first symptoms to hospitalization will be rapid. Days at most. Same for fatality.

He is the definition of underlying conditions. He is over 70, morbidly obese, has heart disease, high blood pressure, and like is diabetic.

It would be obvious quickly.

[totodeinhere]

18. Maybe but the incubation period may vary quite a bit.

But if he were infected we will probably know soon enough.

[totodeinhere]

13. And of course at his age it could hit him really hard.

And if he has been exposed then Pence may also have been exposed. So I hope that Speaker Pelosi is taking great precautions since she is next in line after Pence.

[leftieNanner]

41. But..but..but

His "doctor" wrote a letter that said he was the healthiest president ever in the whole universe!! Are you suggesting that this isn't true?? Quelle horreur!

We used to joke about President Pelosi, but this might actually happen!

[blm]

15. Probably

[WestLosAngelesGal]

17. World leaders should be tested and release the results,

And if he is infected, he needs to self-quarantine.

[Nikki28]

19. I have

a worst explanation ever in USA in my lifetime. I think when Trump and his GOP cronies turned down the testing weeks ago,they got tested and treated then. My fear is they have a secret operation going on with some people in red states as well. I think this is why he is comfortable shaking hands and think most of them are covered. I think this is also why they rejected the legislation the house put on the floor. Most do not seem to worried about this epidemic or the election because they know Russia already have their backs . If what I am thinking comes to fruition ,than we are screwed.

[Wednesdays]

35. ...

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

21. Well maybe but...

...I'm thinking long term syphilis is more likely.

[Stevegberg]

22. With the lies and lack of transparency from this administration who the fuck knows

[duforsure]

25. Look at the example he's setting for others possibly infected,

Ignores self quarantining just because. He could be spreading it to many others in this administration, and world leaders, and to his own family, but he could care less about others, he's too busy trying to rig everything with this to financially help his own profits, and only others that can help him.s

[empedocles]

26. mccoy, don't let your emotions affect you investment [wager] decisions

[berni_mccoy]

37. Hah! Lol

[budkin]

28. He seemed sick in the address last night

I've seen the sniffing before but this was different. He looked BAD.

[Wednesdays]

36. My SO said he looked drugged

Which may not be anything new.

[tosh]

40. Yeah, I've long thought

that they sedate him for those “major” make-or-break speeches to keep him from going off the rails.

[PubliusEnigma]

30. That's the only reason he would ever back down on calling it a hoax.

[Javaman]

32. 1) they will never admit it...

2) we will then be told that he's gone into self protection isolation to not get the virus

3) we won't hear from him for a few days or up to a week. and no tweets. and if there are tweets it will be by some third person.

4) the vp houseplant will be taking a more active day to day roll.

5) they still won't admit that the orange asshole is sick.

6) they will swear in the houseplant behind closed doors unknown to the public.

7) the houseplant will go on national tv to announce he's prezzz because the orange asshole is incapacitated.

[Pacifist Patriot]

46. The second tweets get marginally saner with proper spelling...

And punctuation, the gigs up!

[elias7]

33. Posed for photo 4-5 days ago, incubation 5-14 days

They’ll test him daily for 10 days if he doesn’t get ii sooner.

[Brainfodder]

39. Spreader and Chief?

Ground Zero Blame Boy for the U.S.A.?

Raw dogging specialist, and you expect him to protect US?

[hvn_nbr_2]

42. That, and whatever drugs, could help explain why he seemed zombie-like in the Oval Office speech. nt

[Blue Owl]

44. Don Corona

n/t

[Pacifist Patriot]

45. There is zero chance POTUS is not tested daily.

Whether or not they would be honest about the results...oh who are we kidding they won't be honest about the results.
