Whatever it is… It all works for him. Now he can claim he’s too sick to run, so if his polls are in the shitter closer to November, he can just drop out. He’s the type to turn the Nintendo off just before you beat him at Mario Kart, and claim it wasn’t a fair race to begin with.
He is a liar and con artist but I don’t think this is hoax.
Edit: if he is asymptomatic or recovers quickly he definitely going to say “I told you so” in his rallies.
I’d love to say it’s not likely, but the last four years have been such a circus of clusterfuckery that I’ll upgrade it to “anything’s possible.”
I will admit it is a possibility, as I have to consider LITERALLY ANYTHING that comes out of the White House a potential lie nowadays.
This scenario also lets him dodge the debates, which as we’ve seen he simply cannot do.
I have a feeling he might have done it to avoid the debates as he just can’t keep his mouth shut. It’s a far-fetched conspiracy theory, but I just can’t help but think about it.
Edit: He probably has it.
