The President of the United States has often lied. Why should it be different this time, ask some personalities. Bolsonaro and Johnson gained sympathy after being infected, but does this theory work?
Could a Fake Crown Infection Help You? For critics, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has played with his credibility, with the supporters, the sympathy could increase even more. Trump throws a cap to the audience during an election rally. (September 30, 2020)

In the last four years, Donald Trump has frequently presented things that are not or at least are not entirely true. You have now made your corona virus infection public. And this time too, many do not believe him, although this time there has been no reason to support the assumption of a public lie by the President of the United States.
German climate activist Luisa Neubauer tweeted: “All over the world, the corners of the mouth are trembling.” “Why shouldn’t I lie this time?” Asks left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore on Facebook. Trump knows he can generate sympathy if he’s sick. “By using this as a weapon, he doesn’t care,” Moore wrote.
The filmmaker (“Bowling for Columbine”) has a lot of company online with his opinion. Thousands of users consider it possible that Trump is faking a viral infection, only to go public in a few days as a healthy man and verify his thesis that Corona is hardly more dangerous than the flu, the most credible of all examples: his.
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, like Trump, a populist and skeptic of Corona, was also infected with the virus. A little later he declared himself healthy, without having developed any significant symptoms. Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson made it worse: he had to go to the hospital for a week after a corona infection, including three days in the intensive care unit.
Bolsonaro and Johnson’s sympathy ratings increased
Bolsonaro and Johnson’s sympathy levels then spiked, as the YouGov Institute made clear on Twitter on Friday. “His quick recovery reinforces the claim that the pandemic is not that bad,” Oliver Steunkel of the Getulio Vargas Foundation in Sao Paulo told the Financial Times in September.

How likely is this to apply to Trump as well? YouGov continued. “It’s impossible to tell, especially since Trump doesn’t necessarily end up in the hospital and he’s in the middle of an election campaign.”
Trump’s personal presence at election campaign appearances and also when donations are collected is generally worth gold to the President of the United States. In the end, he, who is lagging further behind rival Joe Biden in the polls, could miss his time in quarantine. “Any type of conventional presidential election campaign is currently out of the question,” writes commentator Niall Stanage of the politics website.The hill».
The upcoming television debate with challenger Biden, scheduled for Oct. 15, is unlikely to go as planned. Another argument against a “hoax,” as the Americans put it, is that the mere news of the infection, much less a possible Trump illness, has massive negative consequences, such as a collapse in stock market prices. But national security issues are also affected.
