    1. @Canadian Civilian It could be fascinating either way. If he has no major health concerns or gets better fast will his opposition change their stance? If he gets really sick will his supporters? I’m guessing no, everyone seems to be dug in and doesn’t really want new information, but I would love to be proven wrong.

    2. Bobby Marr he’s one person though no one should take what happens to him and use it to form an opinion on the virus.

    3. I bet you his ideas about prevention and treatment get a lot smarter now…

      It’s like Catholicism, the converts are always the most devout.

    1. @Designgirl2009 Fauci has interest in it yet he doesn’t recommend it. THAT is the best reason to realize it’s a dumb thing to use for COVID-19. Thank you for proving it is hogwash to use the drug for this.

    2. @Obsidikis Necrosine and only if it already agrees with what they believe, or if it triggers them. Such underdeveloped brains and thin skins they all seem to have.

    3. @Designgirl2009 So he has a financial interest in something he is telling everyone to stay away from. Go to the hospital right now and get sterilized before you spread your stupidity to the next generation.

    1. Isn’t that what everyone want to know ? Trump entourage is acting like any other dictatorship tough, they wont tell if it’s bad until they know for sure he’s not gonna recover…

    2. @PhoenixHinds 1 million deaths worldwide. There’s barely a problem to start out with. That’s 1 in 7,800 and you dumb commies want to shut down all economic activity over it. Driving a car is a much bigger threat to your life.

    3. @Buddy Van Cigrit shut up boomer, who uses the term “commies” as an insult? The Cold War ended, go read a book.

  1. Don’t worry folks…he will release his test results along with his income tax returns for the last 55 years…lmaoooooo

    1. @Abaddan 🤣🤣🤣 NOPE!!!
      TV OR THE HEALTH EXPERTS ON IT IS NOT GIVING THAT OPTION….No other forms of death exist either in 2020!!!!
      😂😂😂

    1. I think your comment is asinine, but not nearly as much so as half of the replies. Some dude is going off about the simpsons

  2. It’s a simple way to have the press talk about you and expect nothing from you, except that you get well. He plays the victim very well.
