With the 2020 election sprinting toward the finish line, many were wondering what this year’s “October surprise” might be. Well, they didn’t have to wait long, because just one day into October, we have the news that President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania have both tested positive for COVID-19.

This is Common Sense Conspiracy, and we are not a news site. You can find out the who-what-when-where from any number of sites out there, from the mainstream media on down, so we aren’t going to waste our time talking about the circumstances leading up to this diagnosis. We’re here to talk conspiracies, and as you may well imagine, they are running rampant right now in our circles.

There are three schools of thought here and we are going to take a look at each one.

They Were Infected on Purpose


Now bear with us, because this theory takes a winding road that you may not immediately expect. The first thing you think is that somehow the Democratic Party was able to get Trump infected. Why would this help them? That’s an easy one. It effectively grounds his campaign rallies and ground game in the critical final stretch of the election just around the corner. It has been widely reported that Trump’s staff was using these rallies as a means to sign up newly interested voters, and they were signing them up at a dizzying rate. With Trump no doubt planning a blitzkrieg of these rallies over the next few weeks, this deals a pretty substantial blow to the President’s campaign strategy.

How could the Democratic Party insure that Trump would be infected with coronavirus? Easier than you might think. After all, the Trump administration isn’t exactly known for rigorous protocols to protect against this sort of thing. Since the current theory is that the President was infected by Hope Hicks, the strategy may have been to get her sick and then let nature take its course. Donald Trump may be 74 years old, but he never missed an opportunity to be as close to Ms. Hicks as he could be, and there are numerous photos of him with his arm around her and the like. You want to get Trump infected with COVID-19 for sure? Get a pretty girl infected that is close to him and send her on her way to do the deed for you.

They Were Infected on Purpose (Part 2)


There’s a whole different side to this theory, however. What if President Trump decided to get infected on purpose? It sounds crazy at first, but think about it. There’s a sympathy factor here. Then, it could completely validate some of his outlandish theories about various therapeutics. Imagine if Trump beats COVID-19 quickly with any of the remedies he has recommended in the past? Believe it or not, there are benefits to Trump coming down with the virus at this juncture. It’s probably not the most likely scenario, but it’s certainly possible.

A Convenient Coincidence


Yes, you can’t harp on the conspiracy theories without at least recognizing the possibility that it’s all nonsense and this all happened by coincidence. Trump, surrounded by all of these people all the time, just happens to finally contract COVID-19 at this point in the campaign. As earlier pointed out, Trump isn’t known for his precautions. It’s certainly possible that the lax way he went about things has resulted in him now contracting the potentially deadly virus.

For those of us that prefer the conspiratorial side of things, there are still some questions to ask. A lot will be made of when Trump’s people knew about Hope Hicks and what precautions were taken. Trump still traveled to his fundraising event after apparently knowing that he may have been exposed. One problem in the official account of things is timing. After Hope Hicks’ diagnosis went mainstream, Trump was going to get tested, but there was significant gap in time between the test and the results. Everyone has heard the bragging from Trump and everyone else involved with the administration about rapid testing that takes place constantly among the President’s staff. Why did it take hours to find out that Trump and his wife were positive? Or did they know in minutes but were planning how to handle the aftermath? And was Hope Hicks’ diagnosis never supposed to go mainstream so Trump could just continue as normal, secretly knowing that he had COVID-19?

The possibilities are endless, and the speculation is only beginning this morning. It will be a wild couple of weeks as more facts come to light and we see if either Trump or the First Lady show any severe symptoms. Check back with us for more updates. As always, we want to hear what you think in the comments below.
