Trump is an obese geriatric, what happens if he actually gets covid before the election?

[GusFring]

And he's incapacitated. What would happen with the election?

[lagomorph777]

1. Putin will continue running it; Trump's just the frontman.

[Aristus]

2. First of all, how would we know if he's incapacitated?

Incapacitated implies that he was previously operating on some level physical or mental capacity.

He's the most physically and mentally inert person on the planet...

[yellowcanine]

12. When we see Pence with a cheesyass grin on his face crying

Crocodile tears.

[mucifer]

14. how about in the ICU?

[tblue37]

3. People would be busy doing this:

[patricia92243]

4. When Prez can't work, VP steps in.

[Ferrets are Cool]

5. Sarcastic answer

I think he is so vile that even covid-19 wont go near him.

[SoonerPride]

6. He dies. That's what. He would be dead.

[dflprincess]

7. I assume either Pence would step in

Or the Republicans would pick a new candidate. I think this is Romney's fantasy. For some reason Spanky can't run and Mittens steps in as the savior. It's why he tries to appear reasonable.

[yellowcanine]

10. No. Trumpets will not nominate Mittens. It would be Pence.

[Ilsa]

15. Trumpsters would nominate Junior. nt

[dflprincess]

18. True

But if it happened after the convention the RNC might step in and try to pick someone with broader appeal. Of course that depends who is on the RNC

[rzemanfl]

8. I will contemplate that situation while I wash some socks. n/t

[yellowcanine]

9. He will die and Pence becomes Prrsident. Lucky us.

[Vinca]

11. We combine it with a state funeral? Works for me.

Pains me to think the moron will get a state funeral, but it's probably inevitable.

[Blue Owl]

13. Well I'd love to find out, wouldn't you?

Roll the dice, Fat Donny...

[Thomas Hurt]

16. Though I hate to wish any disease on anyone...

the longer he goes unscathed, the longer it helps him front his CV scam. He supposed super human stamina and health, good Aryan genes bee ess.

[soothsayer]

17. You mean if he's incapacitated -- like he gets a case of it like that poor Broadway actor

(took ill March 20, died July 5) — and he’s still on a ventilator in a medically induced coma on Election Day?

What WOULD happen?

[IggleDuer]

19. 25th Amendment

N/t

[Captain Zero]

20. I think he had it already, and was asymptomatic

To me, knowing what a germophobe he is, it is the only thing that explains his behavior and attitude. My guess is, he has antibodies,and this is one thing he is keeping his mouth shut about. A reporter really should ask McNinny.

[sop]

21. His armed-to-the-teeth followers would say the Deep State is trying to eliminate their hero.

Trump would tweet encouragement to his MAGATs from his hospital bed, urging revolt. QAnon would promote a bunch of new conspiracy theories. Barr would launch another investigation into the previous administration. It would be a shitstorm.

[Me.]

22. 25th Amendment

[manhattan123]

23. I'd change my mind on the existence of God

[Algernon Moncrieff]

24. I can answer that

He might be asymptomatic or get a mild case, but if he gets it - or even if he imagines he got it, he will drop out. After the election, he will re-emerge, start TrumpTV, and tell anyone who will listen that he'd have certainly won, but the damn Wuhan virus got him.

[scrabblequeen40]

25. Pop the cork!

We'll all be celebrating the world over!

[lettucebe]

26. If he's literally incapacitated Pence takes over -- election? Dunno, depends if he lives

He's still running otherwise, but there's nothing to stop the repugs from nominating someone else at their convention. That's in the cards already, according to the rumor mill.
