I honestly don't put anything past this administration which is why I'm going to just write this out plainly and sound like a total kook.
I don't actually believe that Trump and Melania have Coronavirus.
I don't believe it. It's too perfect. I believe that he will magically "recover" in am effort to mitigate the seriousness of the virus particularly since he got spanked on live television on Tuesday about his handling of it.
I don't believe it because perfect irony is more rare than the Madagascar pochard.
What are the chances of Trump coming down with this virus just a few days after he ridiculed Joe Biden for wearing a mask everywhere?
What are the odds that Trump would come down with this virus just before the debates?
I wouldn't celebrate too hard.
There's something rotten in Denmark. Something is afoot. This feels like a tactic of some kind and if I sound crazy, just take a second to think about whom we're talking. This is a tactic designed to change perceptions about Covid-19.
One month before the election and doing badly in the polls and desperate.
This is a gambit.
It feels like some sort of Hail Mary to me. Something designed, at the least, to affect the debates or, at the most, change enough people's view on the seriousness of the virus. Or maybe just to call attention to the fact that "liberals" are "mean" enough to make fun of him for "contracting" it.
This came too "easy".
Yeah, I know what I must sound like. But, we've been burned many times and perhaps I'm being overly sensitive.
You may now commence to calling me a paranoid kook.
Do you honestly think that this administration would risk the embarrassment of telling us that Trump actually came down with Covid?
But I don't believe this for a second. This is a trick. It's too well-timed, too-convenient, too...perfect.
Perfect irony exists most often in movies and books.
But, out here in the wild, it's as rare as the blue-eyed ground dove. - Brian Broome
