(10,125 posts)Second infections are known to happen, and he obviously takes no precautions. Given how quickly he recovered, Im not sure he even had the virus. I remember reading a speculation somewhere that he needed immediate treatment for something else and the virus was the lesser of the two conditions to claim. We can never believe a word Trump says, and his doctors have lied for him in the past.
