It is a sad commentary on today's state of affairs that the President is hit by COVID-19 and some people's reaction is "I'm still not sure it isn't just a campaign stunt."

Michael Moore is certain that it's a campaign stunt.

I’ve read Moore’s take and I wouldn’t summarize it by saying he’s “certain that it’s a campaign stunt.”

Moore draws out why it might not be true — because Trump is a serial liar, because he is losing badly in the polls, because every day more news of his and his administration’s poor character and corruption comes to light (his comments on veterans, Woodward’s book, Melania’s recording, Guilfoyle’s sexual harassment settlement, his tax returns showing he was absolutely financially desperate when he ran in 2016, etc.) and lists those as reasons why Trump needed to change things very badly. He also reminds everyone that Trump is a cunning, mendacious survivor, so people should be wary and cautious. Not bad advice.

I think it is more likely Trump truly is sick. I think Trump is addicted to the crowds and adulation, the constant never-ending Twitter Messianic complex. He is so insecure he has never once stopped proclaiming his “strength and stamina” to the point of absurdity with the health summary he dictated to his doctor.

I have commented in the past that these needs supercede Trump’s own rational best interest for political survival, and now they may have supeceded his literal survival, as well.
