He's not distancing, and he's around people all the time.
I'm thinking he's going to get caught in his folly before much more time passes.
We won't know, though, unless he falls seriously ill, which is certainly possible.

I don't think there's anyone that is in or has been associated with the Trump Administration besides him that I can say I respect.

And the fact that they are not even modeling social distancing for photo ops...

(7,431 posts)Trumpy-boy needs someone to iron his pants while he's in them. Hope has a special talent for just that task. And I'm sure that Trumpy boy chooses the pants that have a stuck zipper, just to give Hope a little extra something to do.
Grasswire2

MineralMan
(146,287 posts)But, he doesn't cough. If he coughs, he has it. He never coughs.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,681 posts)Coughing is most common but he definitely seems to have trouble breathing. There could be a variety of causes of that symptom, of course - none of them good. If he does get the bug, whatever else is wrong with him (and something else is wrong with him notwithstanding his doctors' hostage-video descriptions of his "perfect" health) is likely to, shall we say, change the dynamics of this election year.
MineralMan
(146,287 posts)that will not help him if he gets this virus. Not at all. He's been breathing like that for a long time now.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,681 posts)Combine either of those with covid-19 and he'll be pinin' for the fjords like Monty Python's parrot.

(8,922 posts)Pence gets sick first and dies, leaving no VP. The House has to approve a new VP, and won't approve a Republican, leaving it vacant.
Then Trump get's sick and has to go on a ventilator, incapacitated, leaving Pelosi next in line.
Do Republicans try to hide that Trump has gone on the ventilator?

trump by most accounts has drug issues.
trump is unhealthy to what extent we aren't privy.
trump has been in close quarters with some that test positive.
strikes as odd his lack of concern
almost as if he sure he can't or won't get it.

there is more to it

LastLiberal in PalmSprings
(12,582 posts)Trump one time stumbled and mumbled about taking the test. Knowing him, however, and knowing how painful the test is (I've had a flu test done before and it felt like the swab was being shoved into my brain), I can't believe he hasn't gone on and on about having done it and how painful it was.
I doubt Fat Donnie has been given the test; he's just assuming that if he ignores the coronavirus (a word he won't use -- he calls it "the virus" ) it won't affect him.
I'm rooting for the coronavirus.
