TRUMP IS FAKING TO CHANGE THE NEWS CYCLE AND TO CANCEL REMAINING DEBATES, DONT GET DISTRACTED

It’s not like he does any governing.

President Trump is so important that NY STOCK, UK, Europe Stocks can drop because he has COVID-19.

May President Trump and the first lady get well soon. My family and I pray to my Bhagavan for their speedy recovery.

Corona is usually a 48 hour sickness. Trump tested positive few days back and has already recovered from it and will come out very soon in public. Most likely he got it in Duluth, MN but it does not matter as he recovered already. He is in quarantine just as precaution.
