Am I wrong to be very cynical, about both the announcement and the timing?

Maybe his GoP party associates have found a way to keep Trump's mouth shut and out of the live debates!

It will be interesting to see how both sides play this.

If the Dem's go too hard it will fire up the Trump folk even more.
Missing two weeks in a campaign is (can be) a huge hurdle.
Pence now comes to the forefront...
A very ill Trump may not be able to continue...and thus never really loses the election.

Self-inflicted. Karma bus hit him and backed over him. He has a whole medical department to look after him but the other 43,000 Americans who caught Covid over the last 24 hours don’t. Just desserts if he pays the ultimate price. I’m sure a lot of people who lost loved ones because of his depravity have had their prayers answered.

What makes you think it would be GoP members? Could be a cunning ruse.....🤪

You mean one of his aides, Baldrick, told Trump, “I have a cunning plan ...”?

Who knows but we live in very interesting times. Could it be something like Trump sending out the message to the people  "I'm sharing your pain"? A big drama, he gets over it and he's beaten the Big C and he's indestructible?? What a hero!!

Wonder if he will take his own advice and take a jab of Pine O Clean to kill his Covid..

He already spends a lot of time under the UV lamp.
Just on the radio that share markets have taken a hit over this news.

Rich people worrying that they won’t have anyone to funnel taxpayer money into their pockets via tax cuts & bailouts? Gotta feel for them I guess.

I wonder if Trump is in love with Dan Andrews because of that nickname Murdoch gave him? He’s probably invited him to the White House already for a military parade.

That was the first thing i thought of......Is this legit? If not, how would this benefit trump?

Hard to see how it helps. The only benefit is that it moves the attention away from Trump playing footsies with the Proud Boys. But it directs attention towards the issue Trump really wants to avoid: covid. It undercuts his assertion covid is a hoax & that hardly anybody can be affected by it. His attacks on Biden wearing masks blow up in his face. Biden can now be magnanimous & declare that he’ll limit himself to remote campaigning so he doesn’t gain an undue advantage (which suits him just fine). Trump loses the ability to cram in rallies while saying they’re completely safe. And the next debate may be confined to zoom which will enable the moderators to cut his mic. Can’t see how it’ll help.

Only Trump fans will rally around the flag. The rest will see this as an own goal.

And how will his fans react to his weakness? Superheroes don’t succumb to the flu. Bolsonaro had to show he was still a tough guy when he caught covid by continuing to go out in public without a mask. Will Trump need to blow off the virus by continuing to host rallies?

Apparently he said, "I have a cunning stunt to solicit sympathy for the President..." ;)  ;D

Dunno....there'd be a way though.

At a guess....
- Trump feels like he won the debate, having COVID gives him an out to avoid any future debates for a while and leave more of an imprint on his 'win' to the voters.
- If/when he comes back from COVID he can pump himself up as a superhero for personally defeaing the dreaded COVID.
- .....and he can promote products/services that helped him do that.....getting kickbacks from it of course.
- Perhaps he simply needs a break from being POTUS to recharge his batteries and be out of the public eye for a while and this is the only way that will happen.

or perhaps many more ways i haven't even thought about.

But, its certainly possible.
