and at that point, Trump might have still believed that COVID is no big deal, at least for him and that he would be asymptomatic. He thinks he's above all that commoner shit.

However, if we find out that Trump knew he was positive before the debate, then at best he didn't care if he infected Biden -- or Chris Wallace, or anyone else in the room.

We'll know soon enough.

We do know that he knew he was positive before he went to the fundraiser on Wednesday, and clearly didn't give a crap about infecting anybody there.

The simplest explanation that accounts for all the facts is that the Trump White House is terribly, terribly arrogant and stupid.

Don’t expect that to change.

you can't rule anything out with an amoral narcissist like Dump who doesn't care about anything but himself looking like a "winner." As some have pointed out in those threads, Dump probably would have tried to get close enough to cough on Biden and that wasn't visible on the little bit of TV coverage that I saw.

The hypothesis by CNN & MSNBC is that he had it before the WH is saying and that he knew it. I don't consider that a conspiracy. And interestingly, he arrived too late at the debate to be tested as had been agreed.

Speculation is occurring because of the lack of credibility of this administration.

Cruelty has always been the point with trump and his cult followers so it’s not a stretch of the imagination to consider the worst from these people.

I truly believe he would do with probably was hoping he’d be lucky enough to be asymptomatic If he could have passed it on to Biden, that would been a huge plus and maybe have enable him to win.

The Dump’s a psychopath and his cult/entourage are, singlemindedly, dedicated to fulfilling his directives. Are you unaware of this? Surely, Stephen Miller, et al., have thought long and hard about how to weaponize it against their perceived enemies.

Oh, wait, that’s exactly what they’ve done since February.

lying we speculate about their actions. IMO that who fucking worthless family deliberately went to the debate so they couldn't be tested. His spawn wore make in sat down and fucking took them off. The trumps afre worthless less than hum,an slugs. Every fucking one of them. You don't like what we talk abnoujt use the features the admins have set up to personalize your stay.

I believe Trump knew he had been exposed and..................

Stop acting like this administration - or the GOP - has even one shred of credibility. They (over)spent that capital looooooooooooooong ago. Questioning every single action and every single motive of this administration isn't conspiracy theory... it's just GOOD. COMMON. SENSE.

If he knew before the debate, his lack of character and honesty will leave everything on the table.

Indifference or planned, both have the same result: He and his entire family willingly and knowingly exposed Joe Biden to an active COVID-19 swarm.

That ain't Qanon crap - That's a fact Jack.

And btw - Qanon is right wing. Ain't no right wing conspiracy's here. Maybe find a better group to use as an insult.

28. The Democratic Party and Biden himself should STOP accepting "gentlemen's agreements" from tRUMP.
Sat Oct 3, 2020, 01:37 PM
Oct 2020

tRUMP was late to the debate and did not have enough time to be tested prior to being unmasked and shouting during the debate... Which everyone knows that tRUMP was supercharged with his own lunatic behavior and abnormally (despite the many spray tan coats) sweating. All of tRUMP's clan rejected masks and offers for them.

The tRUMP Team gave it's assurance to Biden's Team that tRUMP missing the test was not a concern at all, when they had to have known that they were going to start dropping like flies and tRUMP himself did not look normal with his sweating, when nobody else was.

Sure... And critical thinking absolutely has no application here, since the tRUMP Cabal is the most honest in history.

50 years of one side getting a free pass, allows them to project and blame everything they actually do onto their opponents.

He didn’t give a crap about his donors, he hasn’t given a crap about anyone since the beginning. His own words; “downplay it”.

Trump is a careless sociopath who only cares about
his own image.

And he absolutely does not care about who gets infected
with Covid.

He and his family deliberately spurned the testing before
the debate.

And we are most definitely not getting accurate or full
information on any of this.
