October Surprise No. 1 has arrived. – President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump both tested positive for the China Virus on Thursday, after communications guru Hope Hicks had herself come up with a positive test earlier in the day. Leftists across Twitter and other social media sites immediately jumped in to spew vitriolic hopes of the First Couple dying from the disease, because of course they did. What else would you expect?
I won’t publish any of those despicable tweets and posts, but I will share a positive one with you. This is from MSNBC conspiracy monger Rachel Maddow:
That’s pretty classy for a fake news hostess who has spent pretty much every day the last five years spreading the most repugnant, false claims about this President, and often, his wife.
Meanwhile, over at CNN, sleazy fake journalist Dana Bash expressed her political party’s most fervent hopes:
Think about it: this would be a leftist baby-killer’s wet dream. Should Amy Coney Barrett have to quarantine, then what about Mitch McConnell and other members of the Senate who have met with the Supreme Court nominee this week? With Senate Judiciary Committee hearings to begin on October 12, a two-week quarantine would push the process back at least three days, moving the conclusion to the process ever closer to Election Day, wouldn’t it?
At least, that’s the reasoning of Democrats and the corrupt news media.
For their own part, McConnell and Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham could voluntarily self-quarantine, and, given the fact that pretty much no Democrat members have agreed to even meet with the nominee, use this as a compelling reason to cancel committee hearings entirely related to this nomination. Go straight to a floor vote and deny the Democrats their much-desired committee hearing circus.
Such a move would not change one vote related to the elections, but it would ensure a constitutionalist majority on the court for years to come.
Back at the campaign… – Obviously, another aspect of this that has the left in and out of the corrupt media tingling with glee this morning is that the positive test for the President would put a real cramp in Mr. Trump’s style for the next two weeks.
But does it really? My theory is that the President could send out a call for a rally at a hangar at any random airport in the nation, where people would show up to cheer as they watch him speak on huge video screens, and draw thousands upon thousands of supporters. The rally would be essentially the same, but the novelty of the method would inevitably create massive local news coverage of the event, which is one of the main goals for these rallies.
And if Democrats and the media object, you can just call them “peaceful protests” and any arguments about social distancing or masks would be rendered automatically moot.
More Strategery… – Also, from a strategic standpoint and from the standpoint of what is best for the conduct of his job, the President should reserve time on all the networks at some point today or tonight to deliver a message of reassurance to the country and the financial markets, which are showing signs of having a semi-meltdown this morning. Frankly, the earlier the better on this one.
In light of this diagnosis, people need to see the President’s face, to hear is voice, and to be reassured he remains functioning and in charge. The markets have been by and large expecting a second term for the Trump presidency and a continuation of his economic policies. Investors and traders need to be reassured that this health scare isn’t going to shift the dynamics of the campaign.
The Trumps’ health is paramount. – As of this writing very early on October 2, the White House is reporting that the President is currently asymptomatic, possibly due in some part to his use of hydroxychloroquine as a shield. But he is 74 years old and thus in the high-risk category for the worst features of this Chinese plague. The First Lady is much younger and thus at much lower risk of suffering from the most difficult aspects of the virus.
As Maddow notes above, for anyone over the age of 60 or so, this virus is a very dangerous and cruel affliction. Just because the President is asymptomatic today does not mean he will remain so. He does enjoy the advantages of the finest doctors and health experts the world knows today, but this plague does not necessarily heed to the will or expertise of any man.
We should all pray fervently for the President’s and First Lady’s health, safety and full recovery.
That is all.
At least now they don’t. Hopefully they take some drugs, just to be sure.
I’m pretty sure Trump will outright offer Biden whatever medicine is needed to help him too.
............best explanation I’ve heard!
Are you feeling ok ?
If you’re talking about the flu or the cold, then you have a point. However, hepatitis is not airborne, neither is HIV or STDs, or insect borne diseases.
Why was she on the plane with Trump without testing her?
Actually normal short exposures of a virus in small quantities tends to build up an immune response to those without co.promised jmmune systems. The base theory behind vaccines is a large dose of deactivated viruses in one shot (no pun intended).
Passing someone infected in the supermarket is unlikely to give you enough dose of a virus to overwhelm your natural immunity. It will however train your system to fight it.
What gets you in trouble is long term exposure with a carrier. Social distancing has its uses, staying isolated however is counter productive.

Biden never has been nice. I can’t stand the way he treated Justice Thomas.
Wait until Trump emerges even stronger in a week or so and WITH ANTIBODIES his campaign will be like a locomotive.
“OH NO! And they only have a 99.9% chance of recovery! /s”
Based on the CDC’s updated survivability rates, by age, Melania’s at 99.98% and the President is at 94.6%.
We’ll just hope for an asymptomatic infection and we’ll see the President back, well rested and hitting the campaign trail and debate stages like a boss!
"Gosh, Trump is sick...I'd better switch and vote for the Communist!" :)
Wrong on all counts but plane air.
Please come back soon so everyone can reflect on all that wrongness.
HCL + zithromax + zinc + therapeutic plasma
First you sound like a complete and utter coward. go hide under your bed the rest of your life.

Thanks for saying what I was thinking.
Yes, a chest cold. Some chest colds are nastier than others. Some progress into life-threatening conditions.
But a chest cold nonetheless. Not “stupidity” at all.
(That's not to say we shouldn't pray for the President and First Lady to stay well. I'd say pray for their "recovery" as many well-meaning people are saying but if they don't get sick I'm not sure what they would be "recovering" from ... what, a positive test?)
Why are all these people on Air Force 1. Fly them on a diff plane. Hicks may be a good looker. But she is trouble. Affair with Corey L., then mess with Porter had to leave White House. Now 51 yr old Goldman boyfriend. An unmarried, 31 year old is doing lots of socializing.
As long as its not a Chris Cuomo daily update.
