It took about two full minutes from President Trump’s tweet confirming that he and Melania Trump had both tested positive for COVID-19 for the Twittersphere to go quite literally crazy with conspiracies.
As some people speculated that the conspiracy theories would take hold come daybreak, the head of Instagram tweeted: “It’s already starting...”
A number of Twitter users have pushed the theory that the president is “faking” the diagnosis to get out of any more disastrous debates or to distract the world from his $750 tax scandal.
Author Linda Sarsour posed the question whether the debate played a role.
Others, like curriculum writer Jodi Austin, suggested that a full recovery will be an “added bonus of ‘proving’ that it’s just a mild cold when he doesn’t become catastrophically ill. It’s an insane strategy that could be their last hope.”
"Faking illness is the only way he can get out of more debates and save face. It has the added bonus of "proving" that it's just a mild cold when he doesn't become catastrophically ill. It's an insane strategy that could be their last hope."
More sage posters, like author and self-described conspiracy-theory debunker Mike Rothschild offered this: “The galaxy brain take is that Trump is faking COVID to get out of the debates or distract from the tax stuff. But his image depends on being a bull god street fighter Adonis who outworks men half his age. He wouldn’t pretend to be sick and weak. If anything, he’d cover it up.”
Yet another camp of conspiracy theorists believes that the president is faking the diagnosis so he can say how quickly he recovered and how COVID-19 is not at all as bad as it seems.

Good let them stew!!
Trust science
Test everyone crowd.
My conspiracy theory is that the Deep State saturated Trump’s debate podium with a spray of Covid-19 virus in a solution.
The incubation period is about right...
if it was fake , would they launch these guys? https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/america-launched-its-nuclear-doomsday-planes-after-trumps-positive-covid-test/02/10/
I think Trump should debate Biden face-to-face about the genuineness of his illness.
Ya know I started thinking that as I finished my other post. Is he trolling them so they show their true colors? Which they are in spades.
The idiots that think POTUS is faking it are weapons grade stupid and haven’t learned one thing about his personality.
Twitter is a cesspool ....you go there at your own risk..the crap is well beyond knee deep.
People that suggest Trump is faking it are exposing that they believe the whole virus response is theater.
Deleted Tweet from FAKE NEWS Washington Post.

“Imagine what it would be like to never have to think about Trump again”
That’s BS.
They fly all the time.
I suspect he was deliberately infected by the CIA and/or FBI.
Learn something:
Or that Stzrok went over to Hope Hicks house and rubbed covid on her door nob.
Yep, we'll see
I must admit, my mind went to a conspiracy theory too, but to something like what you’re saying rather than President Trump faking it, which is absurd. RINOs have been distancing themselves from the President recently. I’m wondering if they started to see him as a liability. He’s had so many leakers around him all the time. I can’t help wondering if someone in the White House exposed him deliberately.
Pelosi is out pushing the fake narrative:
"I have concerns about the test because obviously the tests that are happening at the White House are not as accurate as they should be," Pelosi said.
