I assume it would generate a lot of sympathy votes if he got it before the election?

Trump and Biden never came within 6 feet, did they? I would fucking shit if Biden contracted COVID-19 right now.

I'm not sure I want him to get it. If he does, he's statistically likely not to have major complications, and then centrist idiots will be like "see it's overblown".

Frankly, at this point, "no shakeups" is the most damaging thing to Trump. I'd prefer nothing crazy happen between now and November.

(I don't... actually want him to get the virus, karmic though it might be. I want him to be voted out of office, indicted, tried, and locked up in prison for the rest of his natural life, along with a good chunk of his administration.)

A morbidly obese septuagenarian doesn't sound like someone who is statistically likely to avoid complications...

I worry about Biden and his wife being in close proximity with that entire family not wearing masks.

Hicks traveled with Trump to his debate with Biden on Tuesday and to a Minnesota rally on Wednesday. Trump's entourage entered the debate hall without face coverings, or removed them as they sat down, and refused an offer of masks from a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic, which was co-hosting the event.

Biden's guests wore masks.

Hicks was seen on Tuesday riding maskless in a staff van with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, campaign adviser Jason Miller and others.

When they returned to Washington on Tuesday, Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella as they exited Air Force One in the rain. Miller's wife, Katie Miller -- Vice President Mike Pence's press secretary -- recovered from Covid-19 earlier this year.

Trump is tested regularly for infection, though is not clear precisely how often. People who work in the White House are tested daily, including members of the press corps, and anyone scheduled to meet with the president is tested beforehand.


Trump's staff wear masks when traveling with him aboard the presidential helicopter, Marine One, and Hicks observed that protocol this week.

But his aides worry that Trump's lack of sleep during the final stretch of the campaign could leave him especially vulnerable to infection. The president did not return to the White House until after midnight following his Tuesday and Wednesday trips. Trump's age, 74, also puts him at greater risk for serious illness from the virus.
