NOW who's going to be spending weeks in their basement.

It will go away.

It will disappear miraculously.

Yup, just like it has for 99.98% of the people that have ever had it.

I wonder if Trump still thinks it's a hoax?

Wrong, dumbass, I actually heard him say it on live TV several times. Peddle your lie somewhere else.

You feather wearing princess...

Did President Trump Refer to the Coronavirus as a 'Hoax'?

Trump's commentary on the new coronavirus came before the virus began killing patients in the U.S.

Stock markets are tanking.

Gee, I thought they would be skyrocketing, you lefties keep telling us he is so bad for the economy.

Lots of classy responses on this thread. Some of you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves. Even Rachel Maddow could set aside her differences to wish the President and his wife well.

Some of you are truly scum of the earth. Frankly, some of you need to be knocked on your asses.

Not even I, when Ruth Bader Ginsberg was fighting her cancer, did I make light of her illness.

Biden.

Geezus

Were they wearing defective masks by any chance?

Will Pence be sworn in?

He should be...Amendment XXV should come into play given Trump is incapacitated and quarantined. But he just claimed, via his entourage, he will be working from the WH residence. Who the fuck really knows what that Idiot will do though!

Nope... He is not incapacitated...

XXV does not apply..

XXV does not apply..

The Situation Room is not in the Residence. He can't break quarantine. He can't go to the Sit. Room if we went to DefCon 3 or some other emergency. Think about it FOOL! That is the type of issue the Amendment was put into play for proper secession of the Executive and came about after the 1963 assassination of JFK.

And then if Pence turns up positive...

Spoiler

President Pelosi pulls Barrett's name for the Supreme Court and names her own replacement

He better not. If he does, he and Harris better set another date, Pence has to debate her and let Americans understand what they are voting for.

We know what we are voting for. Pence is going to have major problems debating Harris.

You worked hard for this Mr. President. Hope you enjoy every minute of it.
Remember, it's just the flu, a democrat hoax

You are unwise to downplay this. Joe Biden is 78 and he has not been infected yet. That's because he has followed the directions of the experts. trump is not superman, he could die from this. I hope he doesn't but time is up for magical thinking.

I pray for his and Melania's recovery.

 

[IM2]

It will go away.

It will disappear miraculously.

Yup, just like it has for 99.98% of the people that have ever had it.

Except it hasn't disappeared in the people who got it. Many will continue having chronic health problems because of the virus.

 

[XponentialChaos]

In all seriousness, I do hope he recovers.

And for the sake of everyone else, I hope this influences him to change his messaging on this virus.

 

[AntonToo]

Biden better get tested too,Trump was blowing pretty hard on that debate stage.

And btw this probably means the rest of the debates are off. Yep, Trump just can't help from repeatedly shooting himself in the foot.

How many?

Not true for elderly folks.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Something to consider, when the Donald crushes this virus, he will now enter presidential lore and be viewed as even more solid by the world. Fearless and unconcerned. Leading by example even!

The dirty Communists can't make a good car or baby product and they sure as hell can't make a good virus. Trump can block their shot and wag his finger at the Commies. Reagan would be proud.

They tried a Russian witch hunt, Creepy Porn Lawyers, constant allegations, an impeachment, riots and attacks outside the W.H, and now, some virus Made in China. "Surprise! I'm still here ya sobs!"

 

[Chuz Life]

I can see this playing itself out in several ways. Just as many good as bad.

It's a wash.

For everyone except for those in the futures game, that is.

Hence the 0.02%.

You may not have, but there were more than a few rightards here celebrating every hospital visit. Many eagerly wishing for her death. You have no solid ground to stand on.
