yes, some horrible inhumane people on here

It seems to me a natural response to a horrible inhumane person.

Yes Sparklefizz it was the same. What is very worrying is the callous disregard for human life, a lack of any kindness and empathy and the influence this may have on the younger generation particularly grandchildren.

“counted”

Clairefontaine Fri 02-Oct-20 09:15:51

As an American citizen, I posted my absentee ballot yesterday, hoping that it will be counting despite Trump’s efforts to question the procedure.

I must confess that having seen the train crash of a debate, my immediate reaction upon hearing that he and Flotus have tested positive is that it is is fake news and damage limitation.

It is difficult to trust anything this man says. I agree with those who have pointed out that it will all be used to his advantage. An excellent way of inspiring sympathy and admiration amongst his undecided possible followers. A winner perhaps after all.....

So if you don’t agree with someone’s politics they deserve to get an illness that could kill them.
What horrible people some of you are.

Appalled at some of the comments on here. What a vicious bunch some of you are. This is a human life regardless of politics.

It was the same over Boris' illness.

Unfortunately he could attract sympathy votes, but perhaps he will use it as a believable reason to leave the Presidency to others? He has discovered that it isn't as much fun being POTUS as he had expected.

Unfortunately it is emerging that he was in a room over several days in the Whitehouse with multiple aids and advisors leading up to the Election Debate.

Many more people could be infected, they and their families have been put at risk.

Well I'm another who thinks it's terrible to be pleased that anyone has this terrible virus What's with the halo emoji? If that's sneering, sneer away.

LauraNorder Fri 02-Oct-20 08:49:53

Sorry but I can’t bring myself to care.

Furret Fri 02-Oct-20 08:49:47

My thoughts go out to Melania.

Two weeks will seem like a lifetime isolating with your husband. Hope you have lots of jigsaws and colouring books to keep him occupied.

Teetime Fri 02-Oct-20 08:42:03

the doctors said I was the best they’d ever seen at beating the virus, nobody knows more about the virus than me, they said I was a tremendous patient”.

I did have to laugh at this lucca

I have no humanity towards Trump at all. I think he’s dangerous and evil.

JenniferEccles Fri 02-Oct-20 08:40:29

How very predictable to see so many nasty comments on here.

No matter how much you dislike him both Trump and his wife are ill, and to come on here rejoicing at the news is just awful.

You may not agree with his politics but to smile about a man, in his 70s, getting this awful virus says a lot about you.

Or him.

Luckygirl Fri 02-Oct-20 08:34:13

Trump is a man beyond contempt.

If he really does have the virus, then he will use it to his advantage - if he recovers.

If he recovers (or is simply lying), then he will use it to his advantage.

It is a win-win for this despicable man.

25Avalon Fri 02-Oct-20 08:32:23

I am appalled by some of the comments on here which reflect badly on those who make them. How about a little humanity?It is a horrible disease and a horrible way to die, which Trump could do even with the best treatment in the world. As to him being president isn’t that for the American people to decide?

BlueBelle Fri 02-Oct-20 08:31:46

Oopsminty I don’t think anyone is being unkind no one wished it on him but you do reap what you sow Have you ever seen The trump kind to anyone ??? I wouldn’t wish it on him but I m not crying into my coffee either
There’s a big part of me thinks it could well be fake news to get him out of the next debate and to make him a hero when he gets over it miraculously he could come out of this a hero

EllanVannin Fri 02-Oct-20 08:31:38

Like Boris, it had to come. Mingling and shaking hands.
These scientists aren't stupid when they say " no contact " !
Anyone who does deserves all they get.

DiscoDancer1975 Fri 02-Oct-20 08:31:38

Oh no....and after all that disinfectant he injected!!?

suziewoozie Fri 02-Oct-20 08:23:17

Can you imagine when he emerges after 2 weeks and talks about all the losers who died? Oh dear.

Dorsetcupcake61 Fri 02-Oct-20 08:14:24

I detest the man. I dont think I could wish a painful,potentially fatal illness on anyone but there is a sense of Karma.
I must admit my initial reaction was has he?
Trump is apparently a germ phobic. Maybe he has got it and it's an example of how infectious this virus is and negative tests are not a guarantee of safety.
In theory due to age and weight Trump is very vulnerable. I wouldnt have thought hed be asymptomatic and have a mild form. Who knows, Prince Charles didnt seem badly affected. Trump will also have access to best care and latest drugs.
I did wonder if it was a political ploy. After his disaster with Biden his advisors may be relieved hes out of action.
I cant imagine Trump agreeing to that,hes too arrogant.
On the other hand if he only had mild symptoms, or let's be outrageous and imagine he hasn't got it. The implications of him emerging in 14 days fit as a fiddle are terrifying. What a scoop that would be,it would make him look indestructible and validate all the rubbish he has come out with about the virus. Terrifying.
