Is it disingenuous to hope Trump doesn't get sick, or recovers quickly?

There's no denying that this one man, more than anybody else, had the power to stop this from getting out of hand. It's almost a certainty that the only way he'll change his mind--and policies--about how this pandemic is managed, will be if he is severely personally affected. Unless he gets really, really sick, he won't change.

So, it is in the world's best interest if Trump gets really, terribly ill.

as Melania had said, "I don't care, do U?"

The best case scenario is that somehow, the virus increases Biden's margin of victory, and reduces Trump's chances of overturning that victory in the courts.

I hope they have access to the same rapid testing the Trumps do.

I'm desperate to hear from the Biden Campaign that everything is okay.

They will do fine and recover.

It's still the rest of us who have to worry.
