I have a hard time with the conspiracy theory Trump is faking his illness in order to get out of the debates or to try and incur a sympathy vote. Roger Stone isn't even that clever to think up something like that.
Besides, how could such a theory explain all the COVID-19 cases which have been linked to the Amy Coney Barrett event of last Saturday at the Rose Garden? A whole bunch of people who were there have come down with it. Barrett had the disease late in the summer and is apparently recovered. However, some rumors had it that perhaps her children, who were there and weren't wearing masks, either, were asymptomatic carriers.
In any case, I doubt Trump is faking it. Yesterday, he was in fairly bad shape and was on oxygen. Today he is reportedly feeling better though earlier he asked people if he was going to die.
In the meantime, just who in fact is running the country? It should be Pence now that Trump is pretty much incapacitated.
Trump's Twitter message from today:
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 3, 2020He's not faking it. He looks pretty sick there.
