They can delay it a little bit, but Congress would have to do that. (There's a hard limit sometime in January when the President stops being the President.)

More likely would be he'd insist that they delay the election and then complain bitterly when that didn't happen. (He seems to envisage that he might win the election or that it's stolen from him in some way, so this would be another part of the second option.)

I really doubt it can be delayed. Every state would have to delay it . Anyway, there's no cunning plan here, just dumbness.

Theoretically it can be, but it surely won't.

And yes, the idea that Trump (or his team) are enormously cunning and strategic isn't at all plausible. So in this case it seem most likely that the story is just that he really has had a positive test result and is infected, and it's just coincidence that that'll probably be advantageous (a tiny bit, on balance) to him.

It's far more likely to be very bad for him IMO.
 
Frankly it's not going to matter. Trump will recover and win the election because too high a proportion of Americans are brainless idiots who would vote for him under any circumstances. They elected him after he impersonated a disabled journalist. He is a serial bankrupt and adulterer. Think about that.

Wait to see how many others of his team test positive. This is just a bunch of whackjob muttonheads too dumb to take basic precautions.

Isn't it amazing how descriptive phrases in common parlance in other parts of the English speaking world, are so commonly grasped by far flung parts of it? ROFL

They can't delay the election and the sympathy thing makes zero sense to me. There are only about 12 likely voters in the country who haven't already made up their minds and anyway Trump's only mass appeal is to idiots who think he's "strong".

Nicely put!
 
Maybe its a fake, sorry false, positive.

For the sake of clarity, that comment was a joke. Mabe even a fake joke.
 
I have zero sympathy for him. His attitude and pronouncements have caused extreme suffering and many avoidable deaths. With power comes responsibility and he has exhibited none :(

Someone said on Facebook that RBG has just successfully argued her first case before god 🙂

Doesn't mention anything about him having coronavirus(covid19), only says he tested positive. Doesn't mention if he's ill either or if he knows he's infectious or not.

The news so far seems to be just that he's tested positive. (Using some unknown test, but presumably one of these fast tests.)

(It's said that he gets multiple tests per day, which presumably increases the chance that he'll test positive just because someone messes up in some way, let alone from the false positive risk of whatever test he's using when it's used perfectly.)

They're also saying that if he gets two negative tests 24 hours apart he might well not need to quarantine further.
 
I reckon he might be iller than is being reported, he cancelled a conference call scheduled for today, and apparently hasn’t tweeted for 12 hours. (not that I follow such things, I just heard someone say that!)
Interesting spectator sport, though. If he has it mildly, it’ll reinforce his view that it’s nothing to worry about, if he has it severely, it could throw the election into disarray.
 
On the News earlier they aired him telling whoever we have this pandemic beaten. Oh good for you then - the WHO don't think we have ..... I doubt if even Keith Moon would have though so.

Shades of BJ early in his corona progression?

Does seem similar in that they're making reassuring noises about his condition while acting quite briskly. However, I'd guess that's normal for VIPs, and especially for someone of Trump's age (and size) even if he really does have very mild symptoms they might well want him in a hospital just in case.
 
I bet they put him on a diet. He will be able to compare diet sheets with Boris.
 
Man plans,God chuckles.

A bit ironic that a draft dodger ends up in a military hospital.
Hopefully those military doctors do not take his comments the other week about the WW 2 vets being "loosers" too seriously!
