What do you think the chances are that Trump doesn’t have covid and it’s a hoax to make him look super human to his supporters by beating the disease and confirming it was no big deal like he’s always said?

I doubt it, I think he loves his rallies too much to give them up willingly.

Hm I never thought about it that way. First impression is that it seems like a big stretch

Really low. The timing’s horrible for him, the last thing he wants people talking about right before the election is the Coronavirus.

Well, BBC is reporting that he’s exhibiting mild symptoms already, so….

That would be a ridiculous thing to fake.

1. Totally not in his character to advertise a weakness, no matter the future value
2. What is the plan B for when he really does get infected, later?

Absolutely not, there is no way this is fake. The standard cover-up would be to start a small war somewhere.
