If Trump lives through this he will be considered a resurrected God by the Republicans.

[Kablooie]

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.

1. The Antichrist nt

2. ONLY if he can

WALK on water!

[Demsrule86]

3. I don't believe that...so many infected in the White House and 210,000

are dead...he can't tweet that away.

[Thekaspervote]

10. This... those with loved ones that died, or are sick, or have big medical bills

They will hate him all the more

I have been fortunate enough to not have been personally touched by covid and it just kills me to see this

[Tom Rinaldo]

4. Just by his hard core base, who will believe exactly that, I agree

But his reaction to coming down with Covid-19 will alarm many better educated suburban voters who traditionally have voted Republican.

5. No he won't. He was hospitalized and received fairly intensive expert treatment

that most people wouldn't get (unless they were critical/intubated), or couldn't afford. No one is fooled by his foolishness.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

6. The right-wing propagandists could have lied...

... and told everyone that he died, but miraculously resurrected like Jesus.... thus securing their gullible evangelical voters.

[Wounded Bear]

7. I've been saying, he wants out today so he can use the 3 days and resurrection meme...

You know they will.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. Yep! Three days!

[LakeArenal]

9. Only 39% will even consider it true.

[BlueTsunami2018]

11. Which is the point of this whole propaganda stunt.

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. He’s a master of distraction.

Unless he actually does drop dead, I’ll never believe he actually had it.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. I'm tempted to text my evangelical sister...

... that Trump has "risen" after three days, and how he beat this "demonic" virus.


She's a lost cause anyway, and I'm curious to test the waters.

Meh, not worth it.
