My immediate reaction is that is smells very fishy. Not that I'm a conspiracy theorist or anything (:sunglasses:), but getting the sympathy vote straight after a debate humiliation is a tad suspect. I predict a 'superman' recovery with nosymptoms...or an attempt to delay the election.

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    Gotta ask though - do we actually believe he's got it? Or desperate last-ditch attempt given recent disasters? I wouldn't put it past him, but what a terrible thing to question... So I'll only do it in private :wink:

    Yes, only discuss this in private...although I see that Carl B. is posing some questions.

    Can't see Trump giving it to Melania as they've been physically distant for years.

    Yeah, the timing ain't right here... And I mean - Hicks is the PR 'genius' right. She reports a positive earlier today, hethen Tweets "we're getting tested" hours later and then two hours after that "we're positive". They have a million IDNow machines at the WH since everybody is getting tested constantly - that's a 15 minute test. Doesn't check out. [not that I'm a conspiracy theorist or anything].

    I'm in the wrong timezone - missed some serious banter.
