I suspect he was deliberately infected by the CIA and/or FBI.
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.
