    Trump is Putin's little lapdog.

    Why arm Ukraine with lethal weapons so? Something Obama wouldn't do in his 8 years.

    Also, if Trump is Putin's "little lapdog" then how come he placed all these sanctions on Russia?

    The collusion definitely happened, the fact that Trump had to stack all the enquiries, and actively fired people who found anything backs this up. Trump creates a wave of disinformation to protect himself, and some people fall for it given all evidence to the contrary.

    You're the last one that should be saying anyone has fallen for something.

    I suggest taking a read of the following and you might get an idea of what was really going on back in 2016:

    Could play well for him if he has mild symptoms and recovers quickly - 'the President who personally battled Covid and won can also beat it for the American people'.

    It throws a big spanner into the works however the disease goes for him.

    An injection of bleach should have him to rights in no time.

    So you're denying that Trump in charge is good for Putin? Putin says jump, Donald says how high.

    If Trump is anyone's puppet, it's Israel's.

    Would be funny if he came out and said he'd been injecting bleach and was starting to feel better..

    By default of alternative, Biden is China's man.

    Wonder if there is any funny Chinese money influencing all those protests, China really isn't enjoying the trade war so far.

    People like a fighter as leader, especially yanks if he comes through that is a big help and will influence voters.

    Joe's campaign will be looking at it like that.

    Is this is an acknowledgement that Bidens campaign is so poor that their only hope of winning is when the other candidate is dead.

    Net Zero means we are paying for the destruction of our economy and society in pursuit of an unachievable and pointless policy.

    so no proof, then. FWIW I expect the news to affect polling. Not sure what direciton though I think a slight sympathy boost to start with, yes. But, in a week or so, back to where we are and as #IMPOTUS is sidelined and dreary Mike Pence is out there, the #IMPOTUS falls further behind.

    How do they feel about having an idiot for a leader? He downplayed the virus, said it would go away, held rallies where very few (himself included) wore masks, He slagged Biden off at the debate about wearing a mask, held meetings in small rooms where no one wore masks.

    He caught covid due to his own stupidity, if he survives it with his health then he won't be a fighter he will be lucky.

    Nah, the virus is highly contagious and unless there's a vaccine we're inevitably all going to get it at some point.

    Depends.

    Trump is debt to the tune of millions to "anonymous" loaners.

    He could be a puppet to a number of shady entities.

    The most likely outcome is that he will have mild symptoms and be back to form in no time. This will serve to bolster his popularity.

    Bad week for Trump.

    Exposed for being a fraud of a businessman, serial tax avoider and then gets Covid.

    You can if you want I suppose.

    The restrictions and lockdowns have been a form of mitigation, they were never going to stop the virus spreading entirely. People will continue to get infected. In this case it's Trump.

    It's inevitable that without a vaccine that it will continue to spread in wave after wave.

    It does seem that the rate can be slowed significantly when higher risk of infection people get it and preventative measures.

    It's scientifically accepted that in the absence of a vaccine that a majority of people will get it eventually.

    It's kinda obvious.

    That's why we all are eager to hear about vaccines. We'll likely have one before the above plays out.

    Much simpler in the meantime - wear a freaking mask. Might've saved the #IMPOTUS and his merry band.

    Absolutely not. The exposure levels during the early stages vs the infection rate don’t support such a dramatic position. It is relatively easy to control for most methods of exposure excluding freak incidents.

    Genuinely, what part of what I said is dramatic?
