I wonder if trump will exit using COVID-19 as a cover?

If the handwriting is on the wall and he fears losing in November, then he's going to be massively worried about those lawsuits and investigations and sealed indictments. If he fakes his death using a COVID-19 story, he could disappear to "Rusher" or some place and let the question of his demise be an urban legend.

It'd be more in character if 45 suspended the election, citing emergency, etc. VOX Mar 2020 #4
It is already being floated that "the presidential campaign should be halted" due to covid 19. not_the_one Mar 2020 #7

You KNOW 45 and crew are mulling this. It’s in their nature to take advantage of suffering.

They are referring to all the rallies, etc.

Then next logical step is the election.

Don't say it can't be done. Republican state controlled legislatures will LEAP at the chance....

It’d be right in keeping with Republicans’ growing love of fascism and total control.

You can bet they’re on the phones right now, making “plans.”
