"Fuck it. We'll do it live."

I can see it now. It would be, "Fuck it. We will find something to shove down his throat it anyhow."

Sweet peace and quiet would follow.

They'd make him a hero. My bet is that a lot of "leaners" would give him sympaty and support.
I'm not a believer in the occult, but if I was, I'd pray for his continued health...until after the investigations, indictments, charges, trials, and sentencing.

Pence would take over. Trump would be made a martyr. Pence would probably go 8 years.

The world economy would accelerate it's freefall into the next Great Depression.

Chaos would abound.

It will just be a party in the street and we will draw straws to see who is President.

Moments later the cure for COVID19 will be announced. Much rejoicing will follow and then we'll all ride our unicorns home or to work at our 6 figures jobs.

That's all sarcasm of course.

Bottom line is that I'ver never seen a country yet get stronger immediately after it's leader dies. Civil war is the most common result, but chaos always does.

Even when everything is going extremely well, the death of a country leader usually means a turnround point. Things aren't going well right now.

A lot of people were exposed because a Brazilian aide was infected. The next weekend Trump's voice was throaty and his eyes looked swollen.

Speculation... Rumor... Whatever ...they wouldn't tell us anyway

Maybe they gave him chloroquine and now he thinks it's the answer.

And it might be the one and only time Covid-19 itself chooses to practice social distancing. Same for any self-respecting virus.
