Trump A Victim Of His Own Inadequate Actions

Karma and schadenfreude are just two words i have heard often today on the news that Donald Trump and his wife have tested positive for Coronavirus.
There was also talks of chickens coming home to roost and what goes around comes around and jokes about White House doctors running around with bottles and syringes full of bleach but we have to bear in mind that this is a person who could potentially be very, very ill or worse.
I agree with all the comments that Trump is an abhorrent and awful person but on a purely human level, i have seen people with Coronavirus in hospital on respirators hooked to machines and it isn't pleasant and i wouldn't want to see anyone going through that, even repugnant imbeciles like Trump.  
It is ironic though that the three leaders who did the most to dismiss the disease, Boris Johnson, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro and now Donald Trump have all gone down with the disease that has killed over a million people worldwide with 410,000 of those 1 million coming in their three countries alone.
Apart from the newsroom meetings this morning on how to mention his weight (do we call him obese, clinically obese, morbidly obese or just overweight) there has been some conspiracy theories springing up as usual.
Some include that he isn't really ill and this is just a way to silence him to stop him further wrecking his chances after the debacle in the first debate and there is the one where he has seen the polling numbers and knowing he is in for a massive fall, will use this to withdraw and stand down before the election rather than lose it heavily and i have also heard it pondered that it is to try and gain a few sympathy votes or even that it is a ruse to get the election postponed.
All very doubtful, his ego wouldn't allow him to pretend to go down from the very thing that he has spent the last six months trying to dismiss as not that important so i hope him and his wife gets better soon but he shouldn't be expecting too much sympathy from many people, especially those families of the 204,000 American's who have been victims of Trumps own woefully inadequate and harmful actions on the disease, inadequate actions which he himself and his wife are now a victim of.
