My interest in the conspiracy theory that Trump doesn& #39;t actually have COVID-19 is less than zero—for 1,000 reasons, including that it& #39;s insane, *and* Trump would never want to be seen as sick if he wasn& #39;t—so if you& #39;re on this feed to make that comment, feel free to, you know, not

It really is the most incredible misunderstanding of Trump to think he& #39;d let America see him as weak and ailing if he weren& #39;t weak and ailing

As a Trump biographer I& #39;m weirdly offended that folks are on my feed saying something this stupidly out of character with Trump& #39;s history

I& #39;d also note—regarding the asinine conspiracy theory that Trump isn& #39;t actually sick—that the Sunday-morning-cartoon level of chicanery, cover-up, and complicity it& #39;d take to produce such an encompassing and *easily uncovered* lie is roughly at the level of 9/11 truther bullsh*t

The upshot is that rank-and-file Democrats make themselves look stupid and naive and irresponsible as hell when or as they pass off this cockamamie conspiracy theory that Trump isn& #39;t actually sick as even remotely plausible, I mean really it& #39;s Russian-troll-tier internet nonsense
