Trump has beat syphilis, gonorrhea, and probably several other things so I think his body has a very strong immune system.

What if DJT tests positive?

He gets sick or maybe not? Then he's treated or not?

The Abbott Labs Rapid Test used at the White House has a 50% chance of false negatives.

There could be additional unknown spreaders at the WH today that tested negative, but aren't really negative.

Any thoughts?

He would probably have a tough time with it but we have a succession plan in the event something happens to the President.

They both more than likely already had it and recovered, like 80% of infected people do.

You don't think they tested for antibodies.

And all medical health experts around the world say that while they hope the antibodies home to assure folks don't get it again but they don't know yet.

Can't do that. The Constitution clearly states that elections must be held on certain days. Elections were never postponed, not even in wartime.

Also, it clearly states that if the President becomes unable to perform the duties of President and the VP cannot step in (is also sick with the virus), the Speaker of the House assumes the Presidency for the duration of their illnesses. So Nancy Pelosi would become President. Would you call that Divine Intervention of Divine Retribution?

It would be like that scene in The Kingsman when everyone’s head explodes. But it would be only rightie heads.
