What if Trump Gets the Coronavirus?

How many have considered what would occur if Trump comes down wth the COVID-19? The effects of this condition would have far reaching effects well beyond the logistics of the President possibly being sick.

Right now the US stock markets are enjoying a rally based on HOPE, rather than actual economic data and conditions. Much of this hope revolves around President Trump who consistently promotes positiveness related to the horrible effects this pandemic has had on the economy. He and his Administration has done a fantastic job of underplaying the true situation we are in and the stock market is hopeful his economic prowess can not only repeat what he did during his first three years but even beat it.

If President Trump becomes sickened with COVID-19 all bets are off. The HOPE and OPTIMISM in the markets would most certainly dissipate and numbers would crash. The overall sentiment among citizens would change and morale would drop. It would be catastrophic.

COVID-19, Coronavirus Task Force, virus, White House

Why is this such a concern at this point in time? First off, many in the White House – including the Coronavirus Task Force and many aides to those members – do not wear PPE on a consistent basis. Next, there are now positive COVID-19 cases in the White House very close to the President and Vice President(Pence spokeswoman Katie Miller and a military valet to the president). This is significant and several Task Force members have now self-quarantined. These members include FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn and CDC Director Robert Redfield. Anthony Fauci himself is reportedly working from home due to the COVID-19 cases in the White House.

It is reported that Pence spokeswoman Miller was testing negative right up to the day she became symptomatic and then tested positive. As we all know many are contagious prior to becoming symptomatic, thus it is likely her negative tests were false. Who has she exposed and possibly infected?

President Trump is certainly in the high-risk category for anyone being exposed to the contagion. He is 73 years old and overweight. Pence himself is younger and in better shape, but certainly not in the low-risk category. I have no doubt their health is being monitored closely and we all need to pray that they remain healthy and virus-free. Should either one of them contract the virus it will certainly add additional complexity to an already volatile situation.

Stay vigilant!

    I think the President is in excellent health. The Chicom virus is a nothing burger to healthy people. It has simply been used as a tool to put the sheep into a panic. A very successful job of it unfortunately.
    The markets would be impacted so I agree with that assessment which is why I have been increasing my investments in the gold mining stocks since March. All the new shares I added at that time are now up 100% or more.

      I hope you are correct on Trump. His diet is terrible and he gets no exercise to speak of. I pray for Trump and that he remains virus-free. You are 100% correct this virus has put the sheep into a panic and allow the government to exercise control over the populace no one would have thought possible in such a short period of time. Thanks CaptTurbo.

    Troubling thought, I have been contemplating that very topic. His positive thoughts and business savvy have brought us a long way. Without his leadership, I am concerned. Praying for the best and preparing for whatever comes. Thanks for your perspective.
    – Keep Looking Up

      Thanks JBernDrApt. I have little doubt he is one of few who could lead us out of this calamity – at least for the short term. Long term I believe our fate has been sealed.

    I have thought about what would happen if you Trump and Pence succumbed to the virus and the thought of Polish taking over scares the he’ll out of me.

      Arlene – Thanks for the comment. New York provides a perfect example of the lunacy of government mandates to stay home. Small towns in upper New York are under the same Stay At HOme orders as New York City, although the risks associated are quite different. You are correct – we need to pray for VP Pence and President Trump. Stay safe Arlene!!!

        JR What do you mean by you believe that our ” fate has been sealed” Elaborate please.
        Upstate NY will probably open sooner than downstate but we must be careful that the down- staters do not all come up here to shop, recreate etc. spreading covid and overwhelming our smaller hospitals.
        I haven’t read one thing about how well prepared preppers were for this or how well those who were already home schooling their children
        have been. AS tough as this virus is it is an opportunity for people to make better choices if only they will or the future. Arlene

    I want to recommend an exc. magazine called Self Reliance
    The summer issue # 17 is particularly exc. I just ordered a book written by DR. Joe Alton and his wife Amy Alton entitled Alton’s Pandemic Preparedness Guide.
    I have read two of their other books and they are filled with exc. inf.
