here's my take: him dying right now would be the funniest fucking thing
― frogbs, Saturday, 3 October 2020 04:45 (five years ago)
yes
I want Trump to suffer and survive to lose the election and go to jail (but it would be very funny if Pelosi is President by November)
Kellyanne Conway lied to her daughter about testing positive and spent the day exposing her to it, so it would probably be bitter justice if she died sooner
Tonight I tested positive tonight.

like you can't fucking write a better ending than this. dude is getting his ass stomped in the polls to Joe fucking Biden, then RBG dies, so they decide to go for one last power grab before they get wiped out, and when they introduce their nominee they wind up running a superspreader event which winds up getting half the GOP sick with Covid-19 (the virus whose failure to do a damn thing about will be Trump's lasting legacy), not only tanking the Supreme Court nomination but also leaving Trump incapacitated, flying out to the hospital and having his last communication to the world being "Doing Wel1, Thank you!!!" on Twitter

1) He's a guy who even out of office can cause so much disruption. Finance a buyout of OANN (etc.), pushing self-serving conspiracy theories and authoritarian politics for years to come.
2) The anti-masker anti-public health element would take a full recovery as confirmation of their views, continue perpetuating this epidemic, and tens of thousands more would die unnecessarily.
An ideal outcome for the nation's future may be that Trump recovers, but is left in a perilous state, for example, requiring a lung transplant. Just cogent enough to witness his world crumble around him, but attached to an oxygen machine indefinitely, and no longer able to cause more harm. Think Cheney on his heart pump.

I legitimately think if the GOP actually is possible of having the come-to-Jesus moment Rick wilson and a bunch of other idiots think they're gonna have it's going to be because Trump died of Covid like a fucking moron

I can't imagine the GOP returning to the relatively genteel racism of Rick Wilson - loudly owning the libs is the only satisfaction Republicans earning under $100k get.

David Roth dropped his first big wet Defector dispatch
Think Of How Easy It Would’ve Been For Donald Trump To Not Catch The Coronavirus
The basic premise of Trumpism and the fundamental promise that Trump has made during his political career is that those who are with him will be treated one way, and those who are not will be treated in another, much worse way. Because of how Trump is—because of how avaricious and joyless he is, and because of how fearful and paranoid he is, and because of how unrelentingly aggrieved he is—this promise is fundamentally negative. Only the most powerful of the people that fell into formation behind him will receive any positive benefit from anything that he does; this is axiomatic, as Trump doesn’t do anything for anyone other than himself. Everyone that follows him understands and accepts this to some extent, and the less influential of those who lined up behind him either out of perceived interest or some rote and sour habit or pure servile instinct surely know as much. They also know that they will receive a more diffuse but still quite valuable dividend for their service, which is the certainty that they will never be treated as badly as the people on the other side.That certainty is false, of course, but that doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Trump has lived his life inside a curdled and childish belief that he can do and take and keep whatever he wants, without consequence, forever. As a sort of tabloid cartoon of a rich person, an adult Richie Rich that had somehow figured out how to use a smartphone and commit adultery, this delusion has served him decently well;

As a sort of tabloid cartoon of a rich person, an adult Richie Rich that had somehow figured out how to use a smartphone and commit adultery, this delusion has served him decently well;
When it comes to building a brand or a public image, the utility of this sort of theatrical dishonesty is at least debatable. But the open secret with Trump is that there is nothing underneath all of this—not just no actual values beneath the pretend ones or actual product behind the pitch, but nothing at all. There is just bottomless idiotic appetite and unstinting demand, the urgency and endlessness of which makes any number of outlandish cruelties not just possible but inevitable. Trump is not the only person who is like this, but it may be that no one is more like this than him.

D'you think Melania actually has it? For him to have it and not her would reveal how little contact they have. And for her to disappear now would be so preferable to having to go through the last month of the campaign, and answer to those audio bites.If I were her I'd want to fake my own death, on balance.

If I'm understanding correctly, Trump tested positive sometime Wednesday and lied about it until Thursday night, meanwhile going to a rally/fundraiser and not isolating himself aboard Air Force One?
Yeah, that checks out.
― Johnny Fever, Saturday, 3 October 2020 16:43 (five years ago)
So after testing positive, his plan was to continue about his day, infecting whomever he came in contact with, until he developed symptoms? I guess he was hoping he’d stay asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic so no one would know?
I know people who couldn’t visit their dying grandparents in the hospital because of precautions taken to limit the spread of this disease. Trump is vile.

i always thought it was "your butts don't break" as in you do not have enough force left to even break your cigarette butts. and it was like one of my favorite lines. i can see now that i'm probably making it up. kind of a bummer but on the other hand trumps got covid.
anyone wake up this morning and think "he's probably in debilitating pain right now" and start your day off with a smile?

If Trump gets away with only a half-ass case of this I guess the silver lining would be that the experimental treatment seems to be a very promising development concerning a future treatment of the rest of us.

― idkwtf (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 October 2020 18:48 (five years ago)
Seriously - would be anyone be against changing the title to something similar? It is more accurate. “Trump got Covid” is like “Jeffrey Dahmer are until he was full”
― idkwtf (Karl Malone), Saturday, 3 October 2020 18:49 (five years ago)
aTe
that's true. even according to their timeline, trump didn't quarantine after he knew he was exposed, and in fact went ahead with unmasked events.
the true timeline seems to suggest something even worse -- that he was continuing to infect people after he knew he was infected.
― treeship., Saturday, 3 October 2020 18:55 (five years ago)
also, after hicks tested positive, they should have contacted people their team came in contact with at the debate.

So let’s say the President drove drunk with a bunch of WH officials in tow and smashed into a car full of innocent people and now they’re all in the hospital. I wonder how much sympathy people would have for him then. It’s not like this is any different, in fact it’s actually much worse

On the timeline, my assumption is that he got a quick test that came back positive - but he didn't want to announce it in case it was a false positive. Presumably they wanted a second opinion from the more accurate PCR test.
In the meantime, of course he kept to his schedule - because he's a vain and selfish narcissist, but also to avoid attracting attention and "causing a panic." He only announced when his hand was forced by the Hicks revelation and the realization that there would be a lot more.
― May you live in interesting Times New Roman (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 3 October 2020 19:32 (five years ago)
My guess is he knew for days and had no intention of disclosing any positive test or protecting anyone else until he became symptomatic and shat himself.

Conversations w Republicans close to WH over last 12 hours indicate it’s been far more dire than WH has said.
