(29,098 posts)The enticement of pity points if Melania or Baron are at deaths door may just be too much for him to resist. Yes, I beat you on the cynicism score board. Not necessarily a thing to boast about. But I am just that jaded when it comes to those fricken criminals.
On the other side when I slip into positive thought, I wonder which staffer(s) brought it in...It's a bloodless coup by the invisible enemy.

Donald Trump tests positive for every medical ailment. All of them. Supposedly, that's what his doctor saysor at least, that's what the Trump campaign portrays him as saying....
On December 4, 2015, the Trump campaign released something.
(letter image at https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/490839/donaldtrumpdoctorletter.webp)
It purports to be a medical letter, but it is one of the most ridiculous documents ever to emerge in any political campaign....
...The letter also has problems with sentence structure and major typographical errors, such as the opening line, "To Whom My Concern." Most amusing, it says that his medical examination of Trump has "only positive results." In medical terms, if the test is positive, it confirms the existence of disease. Is this doctor saying Trump has every medical ailment that could be found in examination?...

(2,201 posts)No, it wouldn't.
But a smart bettor wouldn't enter the pool because they would know that it's almost impossible for trump to be infected by the virus. he's the healthiest President of all time, maybe the healthiest person of all time..because of his great genes....I don't know, but some people are saying that.
And if he did somehow get the virus, it would only be because Obama left the virus someplace in the White House where trump would be sure to come into contact with it, which could be pretty much any place, except for in a book.
If that actually is the case, then I'd just have one thing to say:
Thanks, Obama.

They'll just say he had to make an urgent trip to the Kingdom of Atlantis for extended negotiations over freeing up shipping lanes for American maritime traffic. Since the Kingdom of Atlantis has strict rules about the number of air breathers they allow in at any one time, no surface press coverage was allowed. But they did allow Trump and his team to send back reports. The first one said that the king of Atlantis was a good friend of his, and that they were already making "tremendous progress," and hoped to arrive at an agreement just as soon as Trump stopped coughing.
Er, umm, make that, "as soon as Atlantis agrees to our terms."
