  1. Everything I have read/heard about Covid is that people feel great one day and lousy the next. Trump could fall prey to this or he could treat the down periods with steroids which is a very bad strategy. Let’s see how it goes. Expect Roid Rage.

    1. @Norma Ragland Nice, that’s the right way to deal with things. It’s fine for people to disagree it’s just the irrationality that gets to me. Its also fine to have a rational opinion but facts to support your statement, like you have, work best. I think for the same reason we shouldn’t take the Rock’s endorsement of Biden too seriously. That guy is definitely on steroids although I cant speak much on his judgement besides the fact he is supporting Joe Biden haha.

    2. @jlushefski Check the difference between anabolic and cortico steroids. You might have provided the most stupid reply of all time – congratulations.

    3. @P H I’m the one who poked fun at the commenter for not understanding the difference; otherwise, she wouldn’t expect “roid rage.” Why am I not surprised that a mainstream media loving mouth-breather couldn’t pick up on something so obvious…

  2. it is best that trump people don’t take this serious, except that THEY INFECT PEOPLE WHO HAVE BRAINS TOO.

  3. You guys should be ashamed of yourself for talking crap about the president our president has a deadly disease that greatly affects our country can’t you put your head aside for too freaking seconds and treat people like human beings

  4. When history is written people will know the desperation of someone losing faking covid-19 to sway voters!!! People will know he is the one and only true Ambassador for Covid-19!! His avid supporters are going to drop dead or be incapacitated like blow flies so he will lose votes!

  5. Why Americans fail to understand, this was a pure PR Stunt to win the votes by Trump.
    tomorrow he will say, no need mail-in ballots, go out and vote because COVID is not harmful.

  6. Trump has no empathy whatsoever towards anyone, who is isn’t apart his own family get rid of him America.

  7. It is our saving grace he is a one trick pony……no one with any sense is buying his touch guy act…he is probably on oxygen and triple steroids…

  8. I’m not at all surprised President Trump and others around him were infected with Ronna. What does surprise me is how long it took for the “Typhoid Mary” to be sent in to do the job. It’s obvious that it was an attack. What better way to salvage a failing election than to spread a little Ronna and take out your opponent?

  9. It’s ONLY his base that will see him as a tough guy. Every other American, see him as the moronic fool, that he is.

    1. @DigitalSynapse0101 how fragile is Trump supporters masculinity that they think that not wearing a mask is a sign of masculinity and strength? Nowonder Fox News had a segment mocking Obama for wearing a helmet, because to the idiots it was not a sign of strength for Obama to wear a helmet. Their stupidity is really exhausting.

  10. I feel better than I did twenty years ago…………….when Epstein and I were feeling anyone up to twenty………………

  11. Why does everyone who “read about the virus” an expert but those who have had it opinions don’t count?

  12. Trump will never take this seriously, Trump will never be humble, Trump will never learn, Trump never had the virus!

  13. Trump is a fake. He is play acting. He has sent one false message after another. His stage managed productions have never been based upon reality but his latest could prove deadly to those attending. Covid is real. It is deadly. It is probably going to get Trump one way or the other.
