I just posted on this in the Clusterfuck thread: > [@The Trump Administration: A Clusterfuck in the Making Part Deux (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-trump-administration-a-clusterfuck-in-the-making-part-deux/911083/4264): > > I don’t wish anyone harm from Covid, even trump, but like many have already said, I’m concerned that showing no or very mild symptoms will cause him to claim that it’s not serious, no worse than a mild flu, and have him double down on stonewalling virus mitigation efforts. I’m also concerned for Biden because with all trump’s loud debate bloviating I’m sure there were tons of airborne particles flying around there. Also I’m concerned this might give trump a sympathy vote bump. Of course trump … In addition to not wishing harm on anybody, I really don’t wish harm on trump because I don’t him to become a martyr to his followers, or gain sympathy from people on the fence about him. As I said in my post I quoted above, the irony that he brought it on himself will be lost on a lot of people. No, I want a healthy trump to be roundly voted out of office, his tactics and worldview thoroughly discredited, and live long enough to be punished for his crimes and see his empire of corruption crumble. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-has-covid/922022)._
