If Trump knew he had Covid 19, it makes him look stupider & even more self centered.

...How is that possible? Trump must have been told he had the disease, and went out and dealt
with people anyway. If he was tested a couple of times a day, then he must have been told to stay
"at home" but he went out anyway and infected many more people close to him. Think about that.
Someone infected and sick, is told to stay in, and goes out anyway. Going out will infect others, if they don't know he is infected. Perhaps he covered up the infection, for ego reasons,
but, that action is still unbelievable.
...The selfishness of that one action will define Trump forever. He went to rallies, discussions, etc, and
was infected, and he knew, but he went anyway. So, you want proof?..Even after he was admitted
to the hospital, he still had to take a ride around the block to see his supporters and wave. That proves
this is the stupidest most self centered person around.

2. I think maybe he wasn't tested a couple of times per day...

also, I'm curious how soon a test would reliably show a positive. I don't know the answer but some here may.

Republicans somehow believe testing positive is nothing as long as you don't have symptoms or if you are not on your deathbed. Then you can continue going out and about your life as if nothing is happening.

Nevermind that they are a walking and talking COVID super spreader and there is nothing you can say to convince them otherwise. I Just overheard my dad saying "masking is a personal choice and it's their own decision to not wear them if they want to die" and it's our fault for demanding them to be responsible human being and not infect us with their reckless behaviors.

I used to think "some" people are beyond saving, somehow, Trump made "some" people to "a lot of" people.

7. The argument about that is this, "Is putting on a seatbelt a personal choice?"

11. No use. Everything is about how they think about that issue at the moment, totally not logical

My parents were life long smokers and had no problem smoking all over people for most of their lives. They quitted about 10 years ago and now cursed at my neighbors if they smoke outside their home because their smoke smell got to our front door. There is no consistency with their logic, it's just matter to matter based on how they benefit from it.

And law means little to nothing to them. Like all republicans, laws are just laws to impose on other people but it's selective when it comes to them.

No concern about spreading it as long as he could appear to be okay.

8. It's not just Trump, look at Ron Johnson and his refusal to quarantine after testing positive

They somehow believe that not having symptom or not on their death bed means they can go about their life as if it's normal.

Trump got hot under the collar at the debate with Biden over his own intelligence.
Because deep down, Trump’s made a lifetime of real dumbass moves.

And yes, I do think we will find out when he knew that he had the disease. Trump will try to cover that up too, but he won't be able to. What a selfish asshole. (my apologies to all assholes everywhere for being compared to Donald Trump.)

He is an idiot, but not one who didn't get the dangerous nature of the virus. To expose us all against that backdrop was criminal, but to do it to himself was another level of stupid.

According to Stormy, he doesn’t use a condom. So of course he doesn’t wanna protect anybody but himself. And he thinks he’s invincible.
