He's obviously taking his treatment into his own hands and doing some extremely dangerous things.
Dangerous to himself and others.
He relies completely on his robust luck which has served him well his whole life.
He seems to think he can do anything he wants and reality will never, ever catch up.
If he survives, this will be confirmed and his godlike image to Republicans will increase dramatically.
It seems the only thing that would change this calculation is if he dies.
If others die due to his actions it won't make any difference to Republicans but if he dies the floor will drop out from under them.
If he makes it through this, his base, and his dangerous views on public health, will be set firmly in Republican stone.

(3,498 posts)I said it would be this. Super strong Тяцмр easily fights off covid. Touts miracle cures. And has the benefit of wiping out all his negative news from last week. Hes a master of distraction.
Unless he actually does drop dead, Ill never believe he actually had it.

She's a lost cause anyway, and I'm curious to test the waters.
Meh, not worth it.
