So the lardy bastard has Covid. So many questions.
1 Does he really or is it a ruse to get the election delayed until he can say he personally developed a virus?
2 Same as 1, but does he want to pretend that he recovered so he can say he was always right and Covid is just like mid flu?
3 Will he be like the majority of people and not be too badly affected and can say 'see told ya, no big deal'?
4 Will that truly evil cunt Pence have to take over while Trump suffers?
5 Will he die, reducing the anti-Trump vote, increasing the sympathy vote foe god bothering evil cunt?
I think any of these are entirely possible, tbh. And almost any of them would have been absolutely unimaginable--dystopian novel stuff--just a few years ago. What times we live in.
@Yid mentions bleach, but I could totally see Trump getting better--in fact, even at his age, that's statistically likely--and falsely giving the credit to that hydroxychloriquine snake oil he's been pushing for a year now. I could EVEN see him using his own illness as cover to pivot to a more sensible position that his advisors have been trying to get him to take in order to win the election. Denying that he'd ever discouraged people from wearing masks, etc.

@Dorset's point #4, the short answer is yes--if Trump is incapacitated, and indicates it in writing, Pence will take over the powers of the Presidency temporarily. It's happened a few times when Presidents were in surgery. For a long time, there have been conspiracy theories that if Trump was losing the election, he'd step aside last minute and throw Pence under the bus, so to speak. That way he leaves office undefeated, as it were, and can move on to his next evil, stupid project.
