Yes because he is largely responsible for the over 200,O00 American Covid-19 deaths.

I believe pence is just as dangerous as trump, comes across to me as a very rigid ideological persona, but at least he doesn't have as many fanatical followers as trump.

Other than the religious right, the only thing he brought to the party, he has no following. He is not a man of action. He's also not a human sewer which counts for something.

I find it irritating that most of the press seem to assume that Trump contracted Covid from Hope Hicks.

 

IMO It is just as likely that Hope Hicks contracted Covid from Trump.  He was the one front and centre at his super spreader events.

Any chance of a second opinion?

 

Those ‘false positives’ are a thing.

Hardly upheaval. It will be two weeks of peace and quiet. The government will probably work better without the interference.

Trump had a follow-up lab test to confirm it.

Trump experiencing mild Covid symptoms: Why the first week matters

Trump's age and weight have doctors worried the president is at risk for severe complications.

 

The next five to 10 days will be critical for President Donald Trump following his positive test for Covid-19. Doctors warn the illness can suddenly worsen after several days of relatively mild symptoms.

That's particularly true for patients with two of the biggest risk factors for serious and even life-threatening complications of the disease: obesity and older age. Trump, 74, with a body mass index of 30.5, qualifying him as obese, fits both criteria.

 

"I'm worried," Dr. Vin Gupta, a pulmonologist and affiliate assistant professor at UW Medicine in Seattle, said Friday on "TODAY."

President Trump is experiencing mild symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19, a White House official said Friday.

...

According to The New York Times, which first reported Trump had mild symptoms, the president appeared lethargic during a Thursday fundraiser, and he fell asleep while flying back from a rally in Minnesota on Wednesday night.

White House chief of staff Mark Meadows confirmed to reporters later Friday morning that the president was dealing with mild symptoms, but said his spirits remained high.

"The president does have mild symptoms, and as we look to try to make sure that not only his health and safety and welfare is good, we continue to look at that for all of the American people," Meadows said.

Oh please lord.

Maybe this will be a point of pride for his cabal: "I caught it from DT himself!"

The conservative equivalent of getting a blessing from the pope.

Will it humble him?  FAT CHANCE!

As for optimism, well, both Boris Johnson and Bolsonaro survived it.

FYI, the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME), which has advised the federal government, is currently projecting that U.S. CV deaths will nearly double to more than 370,000 by the end of the year.  And that the daily U.S. death toll will be back up to about 1,200 per day by Election Day on Nov. 3.

actually wishing harm and suffering upon others is just immoral and shameful and extremely close minded,
regardless of who the other person is or their race, beliefs or occupation etc
you really should be ashamed of yourself and your small minds.

You are right, he is a hateful and odious person, and The Good Lord is giving him what he deserves.  Maybe.

Myself, I don't believe he has it.  This thing about a WH staff member testing positive is about two weeks old.  I'm anticipating a staged miracle.

Even though he felt unwell and know that Hicks was ill, he still had a meeting with supporters at the White House. A meeting at which neither he nor they were wearing masks.

Biden tests negative for COVID-19

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden have tested negative for COVID-19, his doctor confirmed on Friday.

 

"Vice President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden underwent PCR testing for COVID-19 today and COVID-19 was not detected," said Kevin O'Connor, Biden's primary care physician, in a statement.
 

Biden also tweeted confirmation that he and his wife had tested negative. “I’m happy to report that Jill and I have tested negative for COVID,” Biden tweeted. “Thank you to everyone for your messages of concern. I hope this serves as a reminder: wear a mask, keep social distance, and wash your hands.”

Him and Wallace probably need to get through the weekend clean before they know if they dodged it. Otherwise, Trump might have gotten the last word in

"The CDC data shows the vast majority have not died with C19 alone"

i did not state what was the actual cause of these deaths
merely stated these deaths were not soley by covid, as CDC data clearly shows
huge difference in my statement????

If you check Table 3 of your link https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm you'll find that it does give a breakdown of the comorbidities at the time of death.

I agree too. There is no way he has covid. Just a huge amount of BS to make him look look like a super hero

Masks are still not required for people working in the white house. They're very macho.

...The president received a single 8 gram dose of Regeneron's polyclonal antibody cocktail as a precautionary measure, according to a memo from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley. The antibody cocktail is being studied in four late-stage clinical trials and its safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority, the company said on its page...
