    Trump's a verified con artist and the people around him are scoundrels who aren't above any kind of scam but this line of thinking doesn't stand up to scrutiny. The Trump administration is a chaotic and poorly oiled machine that places rakes in front just so that it can step on them. It's competence at just about anything is non-existent. Its experts have been pushed out in favour of opportunistic sycophants. It leaks like a sieve (as has been pointed out by others). There is no way that there is enough intelligence or coordination or loyalty in this administration to pull such a scheme off successfully.

    But...hear me out...

    Is it conceivable that there was a 'plan B' in place if it looked liked Trump might lose the election? His ego simply would not tolerate that.

    He fakes an illness, Pence takes over and loses to Biden. Trump runs again for a second term in 2024.

    I just don't trust the man (and I may have watched too much House of Cards over the last few weeks...)

    Is it such an outlandish suggestion, given how many lies he consistently tells?

    There are 3 helicopters usually. One has the President and the others are decoys.

    If he's not winning this time around, he's never winning again. The people have woken up. They'll not slip again in the near future.

    Leave it out - the man is ill.

    He is very brave to walk out to the helicopter

    Tonight we all pray for his recovery.

    Trump should be ashamed for calling him 'not smart' and denigrating his son.

    He should also be eternally ashamed for being so cavalier about a virus that has claimed over 200,000 of his citizens and has now caught up with him.

    It's going interesting to be interesting to figure out why America has had so few Covid deaths given the scale of the infection there.

    Trump walks to helicopter, Trump disembarks from helicopter. Stay tuned for slow-motion replays folks.

    3 white house journalists have tested positive now too. Must be rampant in there.

    I was literally just saying this. Her death couldn't possibly have sparked a tinderbox with more efficacy.

    Her replacement is considered a given and her passing is already old news , no disrespect to her and her incredible achievements.

    If she had of wanted to advance her position, she would surely have chosen a different way to how it worked out.

    If Biden does win, there will always be an asterisk beside his name in the history books

    Biden should be ashamed of himself - calling a POTUS a clown

    Telling a POTUS to “shut up, man”

    How about Trump he has been doing the same. Will there be an asterisk he was to win

    Just looking at the slow motion replay he did sort of lurch but I think it was him simultaneously bending and turning to his right in the cramped helicopter

    Biden says it's an "American moment".

    Whatever that means.

    Maybe something to do with a POTUS spouting bull with regards how serious this virus is..

    Not so fast.

    Say he recovers from Covid (irrespective of how bad he actually gets).
    His team put out that his Dr's expected the worst but he pulled through to their amazement.
    They say he will take 3 weeks to recuperate and rest.
    He appears on the campaign trail a week later saying he couldn't abandon his country during such a time of great need.
    He says his experience has thought him exactly what needs to happen with Covid and he will formulate a new strategy which will protect the economy, help businesses and save lives. All he needs from you is his vote to return him to put his plan in to action.

    No more debates. No more hard questions. An easy excuse if he needs to disappear from a story for a day or 2.

    Say what you want about America, but it fcuking loves a real life hero, even if this guy is no real life hero.

    If I was Biden, I'd pull all negative ads but push Bidens message vigorously and have him appear and talk about how he hopes Trump recovers but that it is clear that his plan did not work, and cannot work. Get out ahead of the next Trump message.

    His voice def weaker than usual in that video
