Reply to comment by LDKCP in Feeling “schadenfreude” about Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis may have impacted people’s views on the election by chrisdh79

If you don’t think people felt pleasure at Trump getting Covid then you and I have very different social media feeds

I agree! It was almost like he had a pandemic playbook handed to him that would’ve averted much of the illness, including his own!

That’s great, how is your thoughts on the matter a reflection on what millions of people think tho? I also personally wasn’t celebrating but I can read and go the internet. People were definitely happy he got Covid and hoped for the worst.

I didn’t wish anything bad on him publicly or privately, but I don’t have the hubris to think I can speak to the feelings of hundreds of millions of people, especially when I can see what they’re writing about the subject

I didn't say everyone thinks that way; nor do I think that is what the original comment was trying to say. I am aware most people think differently.

Seems more like a personal reflection of their unique emotional response. Which is - not really best placed in a discussion of the scientific aspect, obviously. I just expanded on that.

And threatened nuclear war while on roid rage.

Doctors don’t pump patients full of those drugs unless it is a very serious infection. Also, Presidents don’t get flown to Walter Reed for experimental treatments for mild “flu-like” illnesses. The dude almost got a Herman Cain award that day.

Nobody is hospitalized for a cold unless their immune system is completely shot. Trump was in a hospital for 3 days.
