What does it say about your character when no one believes a word out of your mouth without six independent confirmations first? It says you are a serial liar.

That's the point of this thread, which obviously has swooshed right past you.

I'm going with "maybe" as well. If he wasn't such a friggin' liar, I wouldn't question it.

62 votes in and only 58% said "Yes, he really has it".

2020 in a nutshell, folks.

20-f'in-20.

It's a wash, so I'm a firm maybe.

The funny part is that we are even questioning it to begin with. That's what happens when you are dealing with a serial liar. You can never take anything they say at face value.
Usually much longer than that. Generally it's two weeks after being symptom free and then symptoms themselves for a mild case usually take one to two weeks. Of course we're talking Trump, so it's entirely possible even if he has it he's back having rallies a day of two after the fever break so not really much I'd read into it if we see him out in public in ten days or so.

I think be probably has it which really I struggle to care all that much about. I'm not jumping with glee but, well, not unexpected. Not like he was taking many precautions to avoid contracting it or anything.

I think he does have it but I think he’s going to use it to show it’s a bad flu & you will survive if you contract it, unless you have pre-existing exacerbating conditions.

But for Trump to claim that he has COVID19, that means that the White House doctor and several other top military medical staff would have to go along with that lie, which I just don't see happening.

Also, Trump repeatedly goes to rallies with thousands of people and doesn't wear a mask, so it is very reasonable to believe that he has actually contracted the virus.
Masks don't prevent the wearer from catching the virus. Someone coming to the rally would already have to have it, if that's where he caught it. One of his staff could have caught it from getting groceries and spread it around for all anyone knows. Or maybe it's another false positive. No one will ever know for sure.

Right. They were talking about impeaching him before he even took office. I wouldn't put it past some of them to infect him with a virus on purpose.
