Is Donald Trump faking he had coronavirus?
Hello, my name is flowing_strategy and we will be discussing if Donald Trump is faking that he has coronavirus.
In the start of October Trump caught coronavirus. But then, recently this week, it appears that Donald Trump has "recovered" completely. Suprisingly, that was only 5 or 6 days ago. And, a few days before his positive test he had his debate with Joe Biden and many other spectators, along with his rallies. And Joe Biden surprisingly hasn't contracted the virus yet.
There are also many rumors that he recieved false treatment, because of the extremely short period of time. He said he recieved treatment in Hospital, but only stayed for less than 2 days. Where patients usually stay for more than 5 days. His doctors mentioned that he was better only within the first 24 hours of being hospitalized. How could he be well so quickly?
He also seems to have called his coronavirus diagnosis "a blessing from god," which is pretty unusual, because of the severity of COVID-19.
Is all this a hoax? Share your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks for reading,

Can you link this post to the election campaign? If Trump has faked it, why? How might this benefit his campaign to be re-elected? How could it damage it? How could we verify whether or not this news is real?
Hello Olivia, thanks for accepting your post. Here are my answers to your questions.
(Note: I don't understand what you mean by "link to the election campaign" Do you mean link this to a post or try and find connections between this and the campaign?)
- If Trump did fake it, he is probably faking it to hide something bigger. Like to hide a spike in coronavirus cases or to get people to feel sorry for him in my opinion. This could benefit him because people will begin to feel sorry for him and start supporting him, and the staying in the White House giving people a good impression of Trump, to show that he cares about his citizens. (Yet he never wears a mask and complains about Biden not wearing one!)
- Now, it could damage it because he could loose a lot of support and cause a lot of anger and hatred if he really did fake it. And, it could damage it currently as he won't be attending campaigns .etc which won't get him as many votes as he could've gotten.
- I'm not sure whether we can verify whether its real or not but maybe there could be facial expressions, body movements .etc by his doctor. And he looked quite fine in his speeches, and when he went to the hospital.
Thank you for your reply, flowing_strategy! When we said linking to the election campaign - yes, finding connections between this and the campaign. For example, how might this story effect how the campaign is run?

I don’t think he would be faking if he had tested positive but maybe he tested positive but doesn’t have any symptoms so maybe he could but I’m my opinion he probably isn’t but he could not have any symptoms??? Never know
09 Oct 2020
I think that he lied
Can you explain what you mean, eager_mango?
09 Oct 2020
Has he faked or not?I think that he has lied because no one has recovered from COVID 19
This is untrue, bold_cello, the vast majority of people recover from covid-19 and a safe recovery was actually the likeliest for Donald Trump, despite his age.
09 Oct 2020
good job flowing_strategy I've been hearing lots of this on the news and social media and I've been really doubting if he has covid-19
09 Oct 2020
Wow great post. I really liked the fact that you have contributed some information from the Internet and frame the lessons
09 Oct 2020
Wow great post.I really liked the facts

My opinion is I think he is definitely faking having covid how could he recover so quickly and it's absurd him calling a life-threatening virus a blessing from god he probably is hiding something thank you flowing_strategy for this intriguing post
Trump had access to a team of doctors very quickly, and took medication that hasn't yet been made available to the public. He could therefore have recovered faster than others who perhaps don't have as easy access to medical staff and new drugs. That being said, he has played down the impact of the virus on 'ordinary' American's lives but what specifically do you think he is hiding by faking having Covid19?
I think he is hiding a raise in covid-19 cases
thank you for pointing out what I missed
09 Oct 2020
My opinion is that he is faking this because he has told people not to worry about this life threatening virus and as flowing_strategy has stated, trump has called it "a blessing from God". If this was a blessing from God then why are thousands of people dying?
09 Oct 2020
I like your post, I think he has coronavirus but I think he will be wars he is 73 so he is old so it will be bad for him.
It seems to have not affected him too badly so far - we'll have to see what happens over the next few days.
09 Oct 2020
Sorry I pressed it bye accident he will get better but he has to get better befor he can run a county
09 Oct 2020
I think that Donald trump is faking his coved -19 so he gets attention
09 Oct 2020
Yes I agree
Yes so do I aswell
09 Oct 2020
He lied
09 Oct 2020
Donald is a lie
09 Oct 2020
I don'think he fake it because his quick recovery could mean he had it for a while and not realise then had a test and be it be positive and have little symptoms because he's just recovering when he had the test.
09 Oct 2020
I agree I think Trump facked the virus to get votes for people feeling sorry for him also how could he have gotten better that quickly.
09 Oct 2020
It is possible that he doesn't have covid because he would be in hospital because most 74 year olds are in hospital because of it so he might of faked it might he?
I Agree It’s Absurd
09 Oct 2020
Faked the virus
I think he didn't face it as after a while he was out of hospital and tested negative because that is what you'd normally do
09 Oct 2020
Me to I defiantly think that Trump is faking having COVID reading this post because it is absurd he called it "a blessing from god" because it is killing lots of the worlds population and he has recovered so quickly. Also the testing maybe he told or maybe threatened the people to say he was positive
Is this solid proof he might have been faking it, though? Lots of people have recovered from covid-19.
True but has anyone been this quick to recover
You have a good point and i agree
Thank you artistic grape
Your welcome :)

I think he faked it because he is president so he could maybe threaten people to say he has it so that people would feel sorry for him and vote for him.
09 Oct 2020
Yes he most likely has faked it because he said this "codvid 19 is a blessing from God"
Exactly outgoing_fox

Documentarian and left-wing activist Michael Moore has floated a conspiracy theory on his Facebook page that suggested Donald Trump's coronavirus diagnosis was faked.
Mr Moore justified his scepticism of Mr Trump's diagnosis by citing the president's many lies and incorrect statements.
"There is one absolute truth about Trump: He is a consistent, absolute, unrelenting, fearless, and professional liar. A serial liar. A factually proven liar. How many lies now has the Washington Post proven in these four years? 25,000? A lie at least twice during every waking hour? Think of all the bad people you’ve known in your life. Even the worst ones you couldn’t say that about.," he wrote.
Mr Moore then asked "so why on earth would we believe him today? Has he earned your trust now?"
He pondered why Mr Trump would "all of a sudden just start telling the truth."
This is interesting as it's an example of a conspiracy theory from a side that opposes Donald Trump, when we are perhaps used to seeing Donald Trump promoting conspiracy theories himself! So it proves conspiracy theories can come from anywhere and we should treat them all with the same scepticism and make our own judgments on them based on evidence.

thank you for the feedback

I think he may be hiding a raise in covid. Thank you for pointing out some things I have missed
13 Oct 2020
Donald trump is proble just telling a lie
13 Oct 2020
Wow great facts. Love the post
13 Oct 2020
I think he has the corona virus but he has only stated it to make his supporters support him even more and buy more of his merchandise so he has a higher chance in winning the election because he has more money than Biden, so that Biden will loose because he has less money than trump.
13 Oct 2020
I believe that Donald Trump did have this deadly virus.
My reasoning behind my statement is because why would he risk the chance of losing his precious career by lying, what if someone found out? What would happen then? Also, there are too many people involved for it be fake news that he had coranavirus - Donald Trump's doctor and everyone else at the hospital who had been treating him could speak out. However, there is always the possibility that they could have been paid to lie on his behalf. Again, this would be very risky for Donald Trump if someone revealed what would be a wicked secret.
On the other hand, if he was faking it, he would gain more popularity and some swing states could turn to vote for him. In the public's eye, they would most likely see him as an amazing, heroic warrior, who is fighting through this germ and carrying on with the election nevertheless. Perhaps in his eyes, it might be worth the risk?
I can see you've carefully weighed up the evidence, ambitious_owl. Do you think his diagnosis, and his comeback from illness, could influence the election?
14 Oct 2020
Thank you for your message Tom.
Yes, my opinion is that I think his comeback from his recent illness will definitely influence the crowd of voters. As I said in my last post, I think that Americans will see him as wounded soldier, rising up from the clutches of Corona virus, like some sort of hero who has overcome a virus that has killed thousands of people - but not him, despite being in the at risk age and weight group. It also makes him more real because he can now relate to people who have had the virus and can even talk about how the drugs that they give you work and the experience in general. I think that all of these things might go in his favour for some American voters.

I believe that Donald Trump is lying about having corona virus, for example feeling better after 24 hours.
15 Oct 2020
Donald Trump is lying about the crona virus because he recovers really quickly to be back
15 Oct 2020
If he had covid so would biden so then there will be a Vice President
15 Oct 2020
I'm not really sure if he was faking it or not but it was a very quick recovery and no people have recovered that quickly. Donald trump does say a lot of things like when he said inject bleach and chemicals into you and it gets rid of the virus but then he said that he had never told anybody to do that! So I'm not sure if he was faking it or not but he has lied before.
15 Oct 2020
Also, he said that his son doesn't have it even though they live in the same household... bit weird right..
15 Oct 2020
I think that trump had covid so would joe biden so then there will be a Vice President as well
15 Oct 2020
I doubt it. After all, Boris Johnson, a man younger than Trump, recovered after a MUCH shorter treatment.
16 Oct 2020
I think trump faked it and there could be a chance he go a vaccine very fast and go really good intensive care
16 Oct 2020
I do think trumps faking covid great work I read all of it
Can you say why, productive_fig?
16 Oct 2020
