More that a week ago, Trump announced himself that he tested positive to Covid-19. Except for his doctor, no one could verify if he indeed had the virus in his body.
He made the announcement following Hope Hicks’ infection the day before, did it himself in the wee hours of the morning, which is all but official-looking. Later that day, an avalanche of White House cases was also disclosed.
Conspicuously absent from that list were Trump’s own children. So, some people caught it and some didn’t. I personally think that his wife, Kellyanne Conway and Kayleigh McEnany volunteered to tag along, giving more depth to the cluster and adding badly needed credibility to the president’s claim. “Misery loves company” approach.
What is strange though, is that in spite of his age, obesity and poor dietary habits, Trump got out of the hospital pretty much unscathed and wasted no time to minimize the danger of the virus and wear his recent bout with the pandemic like a badge of honor, just like St. George slaying the dragon, or the “Chinese Virus” in that case.
I concurred with her, as the man who lies like others breathe, is already “credited” by the Washington Post with more than 20,000 certified lies in less than four years into his administration. That’s more than 16 lies a day which is amazing and hard to come even close to.
Moreover, the man is so Machiavellian that this kind of staging would be up his alley. The bottom line is that we’re less gullible than most Americans are, have strong doubts about his infection and besides, we didn’t hear that Air Force One took him on a short trip to Lourdes, France, so we don’t even buy the miracle story either!
