It's the bad faith, willful negligence and dereliction of duty as the country's supposed chief executive in addressing the virus on a national basis.

For me, it's not schadenfreude, as I'd rather not let him get out this easy. But it is karma for sure, which I always appreciate cosmic jokes.

Yeah, I think you can not wish the virus upon anyone, but also not feel compelled to get in the way of karma when everyone saw her coming from a mile away.

The fuck does this matter for? Plenty of energetic, healthy young people (AND KIDS!) have been far more energetic and died than the junk food eating, soda pop drinking, thumb typing on his iPhone 74 year old TV addict that happens to be medically declared obese by health standards.

I think the "energetic" aspect is that he can stand still for 75 minutes and rant, because other than walking to and from AF1 and Marine One, have we ever seen him do anything "energetic?"

We should also remember that there have been rumors of Trump on amphetamines for decades, which also increases hypertension, and deceases sleep, both further complicating factors.

But of course it's not about karma, it's about narcissism and the proud rejection of science to own the libs.

In all likelihood, karma and luck and juju and fate have nothing to do with why Trump has covid. In all likelihood, Trump has covid because he views masks as a sign of weakness, and put apparent strength above reason.

As someone said, "Trump's election didn't create the hate from the left, it revealed it."

That is true, in a lot of ways.

It’s not really karma, so much as just some cause and effect or whatever.

You shun health precautions, and assume health risks.

Oh I highly disagree with this. Did Trump get COVID based on his only narcissism and inaction to own the libs. Absolutely. But he could've got COVID any time in the last six months and that would be true.

Did he get COVID, (based on reporting from early contract tracing), from a party to jam through a SC Justice, 32 days before the election, and on one of the worst weeks of his campaign, because of Karma? Undoubtable.

I am no JB fan. So I reckon I should cross my fingers and hope like heck he gets the fungus. Yet I do not.

Must be something rong with me.

Dang, if people were exposed on the day before, that sign might be pretty accurate.

Can you imagine paying a quarter million dollars only to be exposed to COVID?

You are at risk of the fungus every time you walk out your front door.

Hmmm, probably why we should've had a coordinated national shut down instead of the piecemeal stuff we ended up with.

It shows you are doing something right in your life because your heart is not full of resentment and rage. I feel sorry for him that he is trying to take on the responsibility at a time when he is so unfit for it. Then again, the left isn't really counting on him lasting and that's the whole point of having Harris (by far, the worst option of 2020). But realistically, Biden's chances are not good. People don't elect people who have no enthusiasm going for them. Remember John Kerry?

Not really!

You're at no risk if you don't come into contact with other people.

You're at very, very little risk if you, and everyone you interact with, follows some very simple guidelines.

But someone who calls a virus a fungus for attention is probably a lost cause in that regard.

But I don’t prance around the social media wishing ill on those that don’t agree with me.

Oh my, if you got too close to Trump, that's your fault, thus no liability. Lol, wow.

But you should. It's the right thing to do if you want to be part of the herd on the "correct" side.
