Tell Me I'm Not Dreaming! - The Sequel

 Well, well, well, what do we have here now?

Seems Trump caught the bug that's been bugging America for seven months from Hope Hicks, one of his most trusted advisers, who got it a couple of days earlier and came into great proximity with just about everyone on the White House staff.

This happens after months of Trump downplaying the virus and undermining every effort by the medical experts to get people to do everything possible while waiting for a vaccine - washing hands, staying far apart form each other, going into supermarkets looking like ninja warriors and walking into banks looking like they're about to rob the place - and also after months of Trump mocking Biden for telling people repeatedly to do all that while Biden was doing all that himself. 

Trump isn't the first world leader to get COVID-19, but he's the only one who disregarded the disease and the only one with a lot of nukes.  The seriousness of this keeps it from being funnier than it already is.

Oh yeah, Melania's got it too.  Wonder what her folks think?

This comes as a moment of poetic justice for Trump three days after hijacking and corrupting the presidential debate in Cleveland, preventing Biden from getting his message across and being so belligerent and impossible, Chris Wallace couldn't control him.  He undistinguished himself be refusing to condemn a white supremacist group and using code words to encourage them and similar groups to keep an eye on the polling places in the election to prevent potential Biden supporters from voting - like the Know-Nothings of the 1850s used to do.  The debate was so bad that the commission that oversees them was seriously considering new rules for the next two presidential debates.  Many people were urging Biden not to debate Trump again.  But if Biden was afraid of looking like he was chicken by refusing to debate again, he can now rest easy; the next two debates likely won't be held now because Trump is sick, and so Biden - who just tested negative for COVID after having been in near-close contact with Trump at the debate - is free as a bird.  He's also free to campaign in person while Trump cannot.

So much for those rallies. 

Other folks on Capitol Hill are testing or may test positive for the virus.  Heck, maybe that will delay the Amy Coney Barrett hearings!  (Judge Barrett, for the record, has tested negative.) 

This is where the Trump Republican Party plot begins to unravel like Alec Guinness' suitcoat in The Man In the White Suit.

Tell me I'm not dreaming, indeed.
