There's already too much about this already

 

So ... President Trump caught the Covid.  Boo-hoo waw-waw.  Cry me a river.

I don't want him to die, but admittedly, that would make things a lot simpler going forward.   Given the hijinks, election-wise, that the Republican Party is up to, even if he does die, he would probably carry a lot of Red states.

And if he did actually die and lose the election, the GOP would still accuse the Democrats (baselessly) of somehow manipulating the outcome with mail-in ballots;  even though they're quite safe and perfectly legal.

Oh yeah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin caught it too.  Like I said, I don't really want any opposition politician to die of an infection by this insidious virus ... but I have to grit my teeth to say that about Johnson. 

But still, where are we on this?  Greg Sargent of the Washington Post summarizes it well.

Wish Trump well. Then get right back to work in removing him.

"But really, all this is just one more mark on the ledger of a much broader indictment, in which Trump has just never felt any obligation to treat the virus as something worth caring all that much about, no matter how many people got sick and died of it." 

 As the Atlantic summarizes: 

"Trump’s mishandling of the coronavirus defines his presidency. He downplayed the severity of the disease, misled the country repeatedly about it, tried to pin the blame on local governments, did not “take responsibility at all” for the anemic American response, held massive rallies against scientific advice, hammered on states to reopen before it was safe, rejected easy safety measures, and undermined trust in our public-health institutions. Trump was never going to protect the country from the virus. But ultimately he could not even protect himself."

We'll see if he cares now -- because if he doesn't, and acts like he doesn't, it will be obvious how misguided he is.  That's been obvious for a long time, but maybe now it will be clearly in focus for all to view.
