Since we are dreaming, if he were to die the day after he loses the election, it would avert the constitutional crises of Trump falsely claiming he really won and 50 million people who fantasize of another civil war believing him.
This is actually the reason I've wanted him to die since before we even knew about COVID. It seems to me the most peaceful option this country has to remove him from office, given his rabid, thoughtless fans.

You guys really believe this? If he admitted it on Twitter, it would be the first truthful tweet he tweeted. Don't his doctors make up fake health reports for him? All eyes turn to him for a week or two, nothing happens, and then he affirms that he's had coronavirus, took a little chloroquinine, and it's no big deal.

LM 11/23/2018: one can explain away the soul of human beings...as...a Meat Unit, to use Professor Peterson's clever derogatory description of gemli's ideology.

What a depressingly plausible explanation.

I mean, really, the poetic justice in the guy who fu-cked up this country's response to the pandemic dying from the pandemic
Trump is responsible for probably 10's of thousands of American deaths from covid 19. Trump dying from it may be the best way Trump could communicate to more conservatives to take the virus seriously, and save some lives.

For weeks, conservative pundits have been predicting that Biden would use COVID as an excuse to avoid getting clobbered in the debates. Given their propensity to project, I can't help but wonder if Trump is making this up to avoid facing Biden again.

Today provides a great reminder of how easily one will believe something they want to believe. I totally checked my skepticism at the door hearing this news.

It could be true, but I'll wait for a more reliable source than a Trump tweet.

His doctor released a statement last night.

A thought for Barron Trump. He has tested negative, but he's a 14-year old boy whose parents have Covid-19. That's gotta be tough.

This prediction was made two weeks ago
