Shit I'll say it and be that person. I hope he dies. I know that's a horrible thought and I do honestly feel bad thinking it. But still.

Gotta admit. I don’t wish death on him, but if he does, I’m not losing any sleep over it either.
Slamtastik
That's what I thought at first, then I realized if he died all these white supremist extremists that have been rising up would fizzle out./1

He's also bumming our taxes for the best healthcare money can buy. He'll be fine and then claim it was no big deal for anyone.
He's looking at 3/4 chance of hospitalization and ~1/3 chance of death, just to put some numbers to it.
That's assuming that he receives the same "care" as the rest of peons. He's the president, and abuses the position for all it's worth.

And after 14 days he will come out and say it’s not so bad and his followers will cheer and things will get even worse

If it's a stunt, it will backfire spectacularly. He could only recover in the polls by actually handling the pandemic. This is the opposite.

Friend of 10+ years got covid and in that same week had a massive stroke. Perfectly healthy otherwise. People argued because it was a...

It's unbelievably frustrating having locals tell you to your face "He must have had something else wrong with him he didn't know about"

He is sick. He was a sick man long before he got COVID.

It is out now that he has mild symptoms. So there it is
electronicbovine
It was only a few days ago he was mocking biden for wearing a mask. Mocking.
JoseCanada79
He'll be fine and he'll continue to mock people because we're just not that lucky
KobaltKaiju
He also said there have been no negative side effects from his rallies and Herman Cain rolled in his grave.
CantEscapePolitics1
If you think Trump doesn't wear a mask, your news source is biased towards one side. He even says(from his own mouth) that he wears it
IBentMyWookie
Unchartify
no he was saying biden over uses it and that he uses it when needed but guess it didn't work out for him
ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
"Over-uses it." Well, one of them caught COVID and the other didn't. Seems like Biden didn't over-use anything.
Maybe we watched different debates. He was mocking him.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
I genuinely think he doesn’t have it and that it’s a campaign tactic
What? To fake a disease to avoid embarrassing debates and gain political support for facing a challenge? That'd be... deplorable.

2 months later. You nailed it
somerandomusernamething
He isn't smart enough to do something initially bad, but has long term gains. He doeant think that far ahead.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
No. It's all bullshit. He's doing to emerge healthy and push his stupid medicine he's invested in and the covid deniers will have their hoax
As "true".
ObiWanJabr0ni
I feel that if Trump ACTUALLY has covid, he wouldn't just come out and say it because things could actually go bad. I don' think he has it.
TatanyaTanatia
This^
I also imagine him going 'critical' right around the time they try to push a vote on his new justice. Fire up the Repubs and guilt the dems
QuackWok
Sadly you're prolly right. It's some kind of ploy, I know it. Isn't it sad we have a president that plays dumbass fuckin high school games
weerdo
Tbh.. the majority voted for him, so the majority of your country is like that.. thats the way the rest of the world looks at the US.
My friend if you judge someone by their geography then that makes you a straight up cunt. Just sayin.
No they didn’t.
My friend let me introduce you to the bullshit that is the electoral college. Not even the majority of people who voted voted for Trump
Chrono2055
He was behind by almost 3 million votes, wasn't the majority. Unfortunately our electoral college system is broken
OhNoDontTouch
Less than half of all eligible voters participated in the 2016 election and less than half of those actually voted for Trump over Clinton.
ShamanOfHigh
To be fair, due to it's small particle size masks *may* not work at all. I mean I still wear one but it *may* only be superstitiously.
HFlashman
Because I wear a mask like everyone else? I don't get it.
I don’t know if you’re trolling. But it‘s been proven scientifically that masks work. It‘s no superstition. Stop spreading nonsense.
ThisIsMyDogLily
you 'may' be immune to learning things. It's droplet based transmission and any cloth barrier will effectively reduce it's ability to spread
StalkerSan
You wear a seatbelt not because it will prevent your death, but because it reduces the likelihood of it. But yeah, superstition.
Seatbelts have been proven to work, masks have been theorized to work. I trust the theories, but the theories may still be incorrect.
Masks are proven to work, dumbass.
In what article? The one I read said the droplets were too small to be contained by the fabric of a mask and it may effect the face anyway.
idocccocaine
Have you seen the candle test? You can't blow out a candle while wearing a surgical mask. The cloth ones maybe but not surgical
I read a pretty specific article about efficacy of masks, droplets are of different sizes, some can pass through masks. Virus droplets=tiny.
RealNamesAreNotGreatUsernames
Pretty sure it's been empirically demonstrated that they do reduce transmission, and it's not "airborne" as a free-floating virus, 1/2
ididthisforthedogs
Yes, there are actual medical professionals saying masks HELP dramatically. I'll take their advice over *OP* over here.
I wasn't giving advice? I was stating that I haven't seen any conclusive proof. If you have a relevant article proving masks work, link pls?
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html
it's carried by droplets, which are much bigger. 2/2
Where's this info? The info I had may have been outdated, basically it was hypothesized masks may help (airflow) but it wasn't conclusive.
MagiicHat
And now he's going to beat it in 5 days. Calling it now. Going to rub the 3 drug combo in everyones faces.
WhoNeedsToiletPaperAnywayEh
As long as it reduces his voter base ... I'm at this point already :(
kozzillakilla
Hey some of your grandparents are his voter base. Good people can be rubes. Sucks, this virus doesn’t discriminate
MOOOOOOOOOOOSE
Nah he's going to claim he's too sick to debate so he doesn't fuck up his chances any more than he already has.
lol.
SophieClockwise
No way, he'll say he feels fine, but that he has been told a mandatory quarantine means he can't attend the debates.
bacononbacon
Zoom them so we can mute his ass
Or worse he gets “too sick” that he has to elevate Pence to presidency who then pardons him for his incalculable crimes.
Atomic2
You think his fanbase thinks he LOST that debate?
SeriousCloud
Fox acted like it
scJazz
no one is concerned with his fan base the impact on the undecideds is the question.
Okay, but do you think HE thinks he lost?
Varimothras
Maybe his advisors are telling him his followers will be enough to get him elected if he continues his current course.
Not be*

Hrafna55
And he still looks like shit. Even more so that historically. I think he has long Covid.

Is it bad that I wish he had died? It would have forced a lot of people to start taking this seriously much sooner

It helped because the UK had not yet seen the levels of death that we are seeing today
ctotheg2
Except his ratings went up. So we can pretty much expect the same for Trump
Zakon05
His numbers went up prior to him catching the disease, and it was at the start of the pandemic. Trump's numbers also went up then.
Oh really? Thank you for clarifying that’s good to know.
ISayShenanigans
But that was in the UK. Voter's in the US had made their choice long before the debate, and Trump getting Covid isn't going to change minds.
Yeah. The irony was amazing
JurgenWindcallerz
Check out my post in regards to this!!! #ads
gnibler
What irony? He never denied it as far as I know
Dreamdayer
https://twitter.com/FrizFrizzle/status/1243498624862113793
tinyCabbage
Why is that? Did he denied covid exisits?
He never went that far but he did originally have a "herd immunity" plan... i.e. let everyone get sick and hope for the best
jerner15
I think he was trying to make the virus widespread in the UK to develop a heard immunity, when everyone said that would kill many people
NinkyStonce
Heard immunity is the way to go tho
CaptainMisanthropy
It's herd immunity. And it would lead to at least 500k dead in the UK alone. So no, it isn't the way to go.
FuzzyBear
and that is just the dead ones.... how about those that dont die but have serious health issues from it
https://www.ft.com/content/38a81588-6508-11ea-b3f3-fe4680ea68b5 seems the chief med off recommended it, and then as they learnt more about t
He virus, they changed tactic. They did however retrospective lied and said its wasn't the strategy
Did all the lead scientist say that was a valid strategy back then, then they realise it didn't work?
noimaginationtomakeupwittyname
Yes at the start it was science led that’s why we had a three month shutdown,then it went political but now it’s creeping back the other way
HylianDweeb
I mean, I know that as a human being, I shouldn’t take delight in another contracting a sickness. BUUUUUUT......
AManWoman
Yeah, you shouldn't delight in another *human being* contracting sickness. Orange-faced demons, it's ok to celebrate
Apply utilitarianism; His continued asshattery is actively exposing millions to the stuff. The sooner he chokes on it, sooner it ends.
TacoBellinHumanForm
You know it’s gonna be mild and he’ll use his experience to downplay whole thing
MahSya
It's ok since Trump isn't human anyways
Diamondgurl
Thats like saying, Hitler wasn't such a bad guy..same difference
Not really, I’m after trying to preserve my own humanity in this case. Maybe not doing a great job? Whatever, fuck that guy.

MiZfUnKy45
He deserves to suffer for all the death and suffering he encouraged. Evil people deserve to die and deserve to die miserable deaths Justice!
Deserve? Sure. But I can't wish people's deserts on them. I just want the threat gone.
and we need him fucking gone as soon as possible (3/3)
This is where I’m at, just put more eloquently.
revenantC
It's a cute idea and all but some people deserve to get dropped into a meatgrinder and he is one of em.
He's faking it. However, To proof it to everyone, he just needs to release his test returns... I mean tax results....
LoudAngryJerk
"he's a human being" no he isn't. You lose that claim when you care so little for the suffering of your own people, that you let 200k of>

Hey I never claimed he was, just that I like to think that I am. I mean, you don’t want your pet to get sick either...
I'd care more about the death of a virus than him.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
At a certain point, it has to be okay to say "If you're indifferent to or even the cause of suffering for millions, fuck ya."
It has to be okay to not kowtow to the feelings of someone whose policies are directly responsible for getting thousands of people killed.
Oh, best believe I am basking in the delicious justice of it (providing it’s not another Kim Jong-Un play)

More than anyone else, Trump is responsible for over 200K American deaths. Fuck him, and you're being charitable calling him a human being.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
I mean in most countries that did do their best to actually stop it there where still deaths, so 190K is more accurate.
Neoeon
Theres two schools of thought about defining people as monsters. 1 says that we should call them human but flawed or else start to believe
that they werent created and allowed to flourish by human society. Nature AND nurture. Trump is who he is in part because of other people,
and so are they. On the other hand, calling him a monster, a thing that only looks like a person but isnt, something so heinous that it lost
its essential right to humanity, the empathy and respect everyone is due as a card carrying member of the OUR species, is quite accurate.

I expect it’s to avoid further embarrassing debates and to also downplay the severity of the virus for his cult..
pyroshen
2 months later. You nailed it
somerandomusernamething
He isn't smart enough to do something initially bad, but has long term gains. He doeant think that far ahead.
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
No. It's all bullshit. He's doing to emerge healthy and push his stupid medicine he's invested in and the covid deniers will have their hoax
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
As "true".
ObiWanJabr0ni
I feel that if Trump ACTUALLY has covid, he wouldn't just come out and say it because things could actually go bad. I don' think he has it.
TatanyaTanatia
This^
TatanyaTanatia
I also imagine him going 'critical' right around the time they try to push a vote on his new justice. Fire up the Repubs and guilt the dems
QuackWok
Sadly you're prolly right. It's some kind of ploy, I know it. Isn't it sad we have a president that plays dumbass fuckin high school games
weerdo
Tbh.. the majority voted for him, so the majority of your country is like that.. thats the way the rest of the world looks at the US.
QuackWok
My friend if you judge someone by their geography then that makes you a straight up cunt. Just sayin.
ratfaceddog
No they didn’t.
Narwhilian
My friend let me introduce you to the bullshit that is the electoral college. Not even the majority of people who voted voted for Trump
Chrono2055
He was behind by almost 3 million votes, wasn't the majority. Unfortunately our electoral college system is broken
OhNoDontTouch
Less than half of all eligible voters participated in the 2016 election and less than half of those actually voted for Trump over Clinton.
ShamanOfHigh
To be fair, due to it's small particle size masks *may* not work at all. I mean I still wear one but it *may* only be superstitiously.
HFlashman
ShamanOfHigh
Because I wear a mask like everyone else? I don't get it.
HFlashman
I don’t know if you’re trolling. But it‘s been proven scientifically that masks work. It‘s no superstition. Stop spreading nonsense.
ThisIsMyDogLily
you 'may' be immune to learning things. It's droplet based transmission and any cloth barrier will effectively reduce it's ability to spread
StalkerSan
You wear a seatbelt not because it will prevent your death, but because it reduces the likelihood of it. But yeah, superstition.
ShamanOfHigh
Seatbelts have been proven to work, masks have been theorized to work. I trust the theories, but the theories may still be incorrect.
StalkerSan
Masks are proven to work, dumbass.
ShamanOfHigh
In what article? The one I read said the droplets were too small to be contained by the fabric of a mask and it may effect the face anyway.
idocccocaine
Have you seen the candle test? You can't blow out a candle while wearing a surgical mask. The cloth ones maybe but not surgical
ShamanOfHigh
I read a pretty specific article about efficacy of masks, droplets are of different sizes, some can pass through masks. Virus droplets=tiny.
RealNamesAreNotGreatUsernames
Pretty sure it's been empirically demonstrated that they do reduce transmission, and it's not "airborne" as a free-floating virus, 1/2
ididthisforthedogs
Yes, there are actual medical professionals saying masks HELP dramatically. I'll take their advice over *OP* over here.
ShamanOfHigh
I wasn't giving advice? I was stating that I haven't seen any conclusive proof. If you have a relevant article proving masks work, link pls?
ididthisforthedogs
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html
RealNamesAreNotGreatUsernames
it's carried by droplets, which are much bigger. 2/2
ShamanOfHigh
Where's this info? The info I had may have been outdated, basically it was hypothesized masks may help (airflow) but it wasn't conclusive.
MagiicHat
And now he's going to beat it in 5 days. Calling it now. Going to rub the 3 drug combo in everyones faces.
WhoNeedsToiletPaperAnywayEh
As long as it reduces his voter base ... I'm at this point already :(
kozzillakilla
Hey some of your grandparents are his voter base. Good people can be rubes. Sucks, this virus doesn’t discriminate
MOOOOOOOOOOOSE
Nah he's going to claim he's too sick to debate so he doesn't fuck up his chances any more than he already has.
MagiicHat
lol.
SophieClockwise
No way, he'll say he feels fine, but that he has been told a mandatory quarantine means he can't attend the debates.
bacononbacon
Zoom them so we can mute his ass
PropainAndPropainAccesories
Or worse he gets “too sick” that he has to elevate Pence to presidency who then pardons him for his incalculable crimes.
Atomic2
You think his fanbase thinks he LOST that debate?
SeriousCloud
Fox acted like it
scJazz
no one is concerned with his fan base the impact on the undecideds is the question.
Atomic2
Okay, but do you think HE thinks he lost?
Varimothras
Maybe his advisors are telling him his followers will be enough to get him elected if he continues his current course.
Varimothras
Not be*
enheru
It was also funny when Boris got it.
Youhavinagiraffe
And Bolsonaro
marchingAntz
Yea but that MF was shaking hands with COVID-19 section nurses and doctors he didn’t even pass Trump IQ test!
daguq
If you believe he actually got it.
FoamingToad
Bit anticlimactic if you were to ask me.
Hrafna55
And he still looks like shit. Even more so that historically. I think he has long Covid.
itstoodamnearly5am
Is it bad that I wish he had died? It would have forced a lot of people to start taking this seriously much sooner
ActionJohnnie
Still funny
namAehT
Visiting COVID wards without a mask and shaking hands with people that were positive was the pinnacle of stupidity

At least he did that, unlike Trump who mocked them and denied them hello from a bunker

unfortunately it helped his popularity

It helped because the UK had not yet seen the levels of death that we are seeing today
ctotheg2
Except his ratings went up. So we can pretty much expect the same for Trump
Zakon05
His numbers went up prior to him catching the disease, and it was at the start of the pandemic. Trump's numbers also went up then.
ctotheg2
Oh really? Thank you for clarifying that’s good to know.
ISayShenanigans
But that was in the UK. Voter's in the US had made their choice long before the debate, and Trump getting Covid isn't going to change minds.
Sleepyhead22
Yeah. The irony was amazing
JurgenWindcallerz
Check out my post in regards to this!!! #ads
gnibler
What irony? He never denied it as far as I know

tinyCabbage
Why is that? Did he denied covid exisits?
Youhavinagiraffe
He never went that far but he did originally have a "herd immunity" plan... i.e. let everyone get sick and hope for the best
jerner15
I think he was trying to make the virus widespread in the UK to develop a heard immunity, when everyone said that would kill many people
NinkyStonce
Heard immunity is the way to go tho
CaptainMisanthropy
It's herd immunity. And it would lead to at least 500k dead in the UK alone. So no, it isn't the way to go.
FuzzyBear
and that is just the dead ones.... how about those that dont die but have serious health issues from it
tinyCabbage
https://www.ft.com/content/38a81588-6508-11ea-b3f3-fe4680ea68b5 seems the chief med off recommended it, and then as they learnt more about t
tinyCabbage
He virus, they changed tactic. They did however retrospective lied and said its wasn't the strategy
tinyCabbage
Did all the lead scientist say that was a valid strategy back then, then they realise it didn't work?
noimaginationtomakeupwittyname
Yes at the start it was science led that’s why we had a three month shutdown,then it went political but now it’s creeping back the other way
HylianDweeb
I mean, I know that as a human being, I shouldn’t take delight in another contracting a sickness. BUUUUUUT......
AManWoman
Yeah, you shouldn't delight in another *human being* contracting sickness. Orange-faced demons, it's ok to celebrate
Nuttsy
Apply utilitarianism; His continued asshattery is actively exposing millions to the stuff. The sooner he chokes on it, sooner it ends.
TacoBellinHumanForm
You know it’s gonna be mild and he’ll use his experience to downplay whole thing
MahSya
It's ok since Trump isn't human anyways
Diamondgurl
Thats like saying, Hitler wasn't such a bad guy..same difference
HylianDweeb
Not really, I’m after trying to preserve my own humanity in this case. Maybe not doing a great job? Whatever, fuck that guy.

You can enjoy the irony though.

No, fuck that and fuck him.

virus to do it, then so be it. I hope he doesn't suffer (I hope everybody doesn't suffer) but the world is worse for having him in it (2/3)

He deserves to suffer for all the death and suffering he encouraged. Evil people deserve to die and deserve to die miserable deaths Justice!
SnakuPlisskin
Deserve? Sure. But I can't wish people's deserts on them. I just want the threat gone.
SnakuPlisskin
and we need him fucking gone as soon as possible (3/3)
HylianDweeb
This is where I’m at, just put more eloquently.
revenantC
It's a cute idea and all but some people deserve to get dropped into a meatgrinder and he is one of em.
Sm9yCg
He's faking it. However, To proof it to everyone, he just needs to release his test returns... I mean tax results....

"he's a human being" no he isn't. You lose that claim when you care so little for the suffering of your own people, that you let 200k of>

HylianDweeb
Hey I never claimed he was, just that I like to think that I am. I mean, you don’t want your pet to get sick either...
LoudAngryJerk
I'd care more about the death of a virus than him.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
At a certain point, it has to be okay to say "If you're indifferent to or even the cause of suffering for millions, fuck ya."
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
It has to be okay to not kowtow to the feelings of someone whose policies are directly responsible for getting thousands of people killed.
HylianDweeb
Oh, best believe I am basking in the delicious justice of it (providing it’s not another Kim Jong-Un play)

My wife: I don't want him to die, but maybe it'll humble him and...

Humble him...

Me: No I hope he dies. He ENDORSED domestic terrorists ON NATIONAL TV during a PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE. Fuck him.

I got shit from imgur trolls a while ago when i said I hope he got covid. This makes me happy.

More than anyone else, Trump is responsible for over 200K American deaths. Fuck him, and you're being charitable calling him a human being.
PleasantPeasantPheasant
I mean in most countries that did do their best to actually stop it there where still deaths, so 190K is more accurate.
Neoeon
Theres two schools of thought about defining people as monsters. 1 says that we should call them human but flawed or else start to believe
Neoeon
that they werent created and allowed to flourish by human society. Nature AND nurture. Trump is who he is in part because of other people,
Neoeon
and so are they. On the other hand, calling him a monster, a thing that only looks like a person but isnt, something so heinous that it lost
Neoeon
its essential right to humanity, the empathy and respect everyone is due as a card carrying member of the OUR species, is quite accurate.
