Seen some folks saying he's faking to avoid more debates, though...

I don't buy it. It hurts his macho image and his downplaying the pandemic. It's 2020 so nothing is impossible, but I seriously doubt it.

Especially like... He still hasn't released his tax returns "because of the audit" for 4 years even though the IRS and almost all journalists say that doesn't affect it

He has no problem making absolutely bullshit exc if he wants an excuse, and calling it a victory
also it looks like, at least according to a quick google search, other staff and personnel that have been in contact with him have also tested positive.

Oh yeah, I don't buy it, either. The conspiracies are something else, though... also saw someone say he's faking it so he can fake a miracle cure before the election, too. 🙃 That he can even draw this much skepticism from people is telling

yeah he's been 100% against masks, quarantines, etc, from the start and he's such a narcissist i just can't see him faking it

if he wanted to avoid them he'd just keep screaming about fake news, bullying, and biden being afraid

he's also been hocking "miracle cures" for months, see: hydrochloriquine (prooobaby spelled that wrong)
the list of infected keeps getting longer & I'm just. O.O we had a household Moment last night that boiled down to "no fucking idea what resolution plays out best for the world here (though we have a fair idea of some of the bad ones), but praying for that"

tessnightoak: That is a very relatable moment. Everything is such a shitstorm that I have little idea how this could play out, but I really hope whatever happens is a net improvement
