It's almost like viruses spread...
Its almost as if he's been hosting rallies around thousands of people, mocking masks, and downplaying it. Weird he contracted it.

Does he go out in the middle of the crowd like a 1992 Porch break down? The rallies are dangerous for others, not him.

It underlines how easy some of the mitigation efforts are, and how absurd it is to be in opposition to them. If Trump and his staff were in the practice of wearing masks around each other, this may have started and ended with Hicks.

You have to pick one. Either you disagree with Trump on a purely formal level but don't find him personally reprehensible, or you think he is a uniquely bad influence on the world and support his removal by any means.
I rather him be removed by the people voting his dumb ass out but yea ill take whateve.r
I think a lot of people underestimate what a mess the next 4 months could be if he succumbs, or even what a mess the next month will be if he gets really sick and recovers.
Beyond that, I don’t want to get through all this just to live in a world where all the people now saying “He was down in 2016 too and look what happened” spend the rest of our lives pointing out that “Donald Trump was worse than (x) and technically no one ever beat him.”
Or where he gets turned from a conservative messiah into a conservative martyr.

It's entirely possible he's lying about having the virus

Even if he's not, he'll come back and claim it was nothing. "I wasn't in the hospital. Fake News. The doctors said I dealt with COVID better than anyone they've ever seen. 'Sir,' they said, 'sir, we can't understand how you fought off COVID so well.'"

It baffles me that multiple people on this board have even toyed with a theory this absurd.

If he doesn’t get worse than right now (the White House says he’s got mild symptoms), probably. But who cares? Nobody takes him at his word except his base. Clearly people don’t even really trust him when he admits he got COVID, exposed his Supreme Court nominee, attended a fundraiser, and tried to hide it from us.
They’ll make some strongman memes, polls won’t change, and we will have our best case scenario.

This is the third WH official or staffer with daily Oval Office contact time to be seen walking around maskless today, that I know of.

On Today, they were showing Hope Hicks entering Air Force One, and then just counting off the people who touched the railing after her.
"There's Jared Kushner right behind her. Now, Stephen Miller. There's the Secret Service detail. .... and a few minutes later, there's the President touching that same railing."
