As the President arrived from Walter Reed hospital, he immediately  pulled off his mask for a photo op despite having Covid-19.

In U.S. political jargon, an October surprise is a news event that may influence the outcome of an upcoming election (particularly one for the U.S. presidency), whether deliberately planned or spontaneously occurring.

The mystery is around Donald Trump’s contraction of COVID-19.  It has been reported that he was given three drugs that are not approved for use except in the most extreme cases.

• • He was given a “cocktail” experimental drug for the virus.
  • He has received a at least two doses of Regeneron’s polyclonal antibody cocktail, “as a precautionary measure.”
  • He has been given Dexamethasone, a steroid, that is generally reserved for patients who have serious disease.

Trump’s COVID-19 diagnosis has drowned out talk of his low income tax payments, his proud boys statement, his supreme court nomination tavesty, and the failed first debate performance.  Think about that.

Many people posting on Facebook and other media platforms suspect that Trump does not have COVID-19.

This is the October surprise in the making. I predict he will be totally recovered from COVID-19 just before election day. The reason? He never did contract the disease. This is his best performance to date.

My suspicions may be wrong.

It will take investigative reporters like Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to learn the truth.
