1. Very true!!!

2. Perfect. A part of me suspects Trump at least sensed he was ill at his last debate

even if that had not yet been medically confirmed, and that was one of the reasons why he refused to keep his mouth shut throughout the entire debate, the better to shed the virus. If he had to be infected, he didn't want that to give Biden any competitive advantage. Maybe Trump thought he could luck out and get off with mild passing symptoms but Biden would instead get seriously ill from Covid-19.

3. "Pitching a plague corpse at an enemy"

No kidding.

4. He is actively trying to kill his opponent!

5. This has got to be one of the worse things that I've read regarding a president (really the PINO)...

idiot...they're talking about trump (NY Mag) in the following sentence...

--snip--
And who knows, maybe he wants to spread it? He’s not exactly doing well in the polls. At least the CPD has blocked him from accomplishing the 21st-century equivalent of pitching a plague corpse at an enemy.

This moron is trying to deliberately sicken his main target, Mr. Biden. But the debate people (to their big credit) wanted to protect their front line workers (us little people).

trump is a coward, a chicken s**t, and truly is a scumbag with no consideration of anyone else but himself.

He should be thrown into isolation so he won't be able to continue to infect others in the Country, they did this w/ typhoid mary (a lifetime isolation since she broke her word to self isolate, and didn't keep her word).

This is a national security issue!

Actual lives are at risk, look at the WH and all of the people infected w/the CV now. What more needs to be said?

6. They said what many were thinking.

It's not a convenient excuse to skip a debate that Trump knows he will lose. It's the last gasp of covid Donny to kill the opponent that is trouncing him.

7. Cyber-bullying just isn't as fun as the real thing for Donny

Go fuck yourself Trump

[Hekate]

8. That last line is one for the ages: "Pitching a plague corpse at the enemy."

I’ll say it again: Trump is deliberately trying to kill people now.
