Well he doesn't have to go on any more debates.  He may believe it will get him the sympathy vote.  Maybe all the liberals wanting him to die will make them look bad so he can get a few more votes there or he can tout his vaccine and hydroxychloroquine/Zinc combo as a cure and comeback saying how he was right.  There are a lot of angles he could play this so it should be interesting to see how things shake out in the next 2 weeks.

Edit:  I just noticed that his doctor said the President is asymptomatic so we can be sure nothing harmful will happen to him, instead this could be more a political play then we thought.

Donald Trump and Melania Trump Have Tested Positive For Covid-19

Donald Trump announced via Twitter that he has tested positive for Coronavirus.

I'll take some time to collect my thoughts, but obviously this race has completely changed.

I'm sure there are going to be strong opinions on both sides. I've already brought up in the mod chat the possibility of setting standards for how discussing this. For now, I will say that to be on the safe side, you should avoid taking joy in a person contracting a life threatening disease or wishing for death of another individual. That is NOT the official stance of the moderation team, but you surely won't get in trouble following that advice. 

When it comes to the law and legal matters, the law of the land trumps culture, beliefs and all else until challenged in a court of law.
For example, same-sex marriage went against Australian/American culture at one point due to their strong right-wing conservative religious power bases, but equality got pushed front and center, conservative culture be damned... And as nations we are better for it.
Change shouldn't always be discouraged.
Change for the sake of change that reduces the benefit to society and it's people should be discouraged.

It's interesting you bring up religion though, because I believe all abrahamic religion to be deplorable in some form, there is a reason why Islam, Judaism and Christianity are derived from the same middle-eastern religious context.
What I have issues with is hypocritical Christians constantly moaning about Islam, but will turn a blind eye to the fact the bible believes in stoning children to death, that we should not eat pork, that it's okay to own slaves... And that we should punish apostasy.
All the same bullshit with a different package essentially... And yes there are Christian denominations that believe and support the old testament in it's literal form.

But we do need to respect peoples rights to 'freedom of religion' as well as peoples rights to 'freedom FROM religion'. - And we do need to crack down hard when religious institutions break the law, no exceptions.
Religion is a part of our cultures, I am happy to learn about it, I'm not going to follow it though until they can prove their Gods exists with empirical evidence.
And I will most certainly fight religion if it encroaches on anyone's freedom.

Considering that most people dont even get symptoms and there is a lot of fake positives, maybe he wont even get sick at all. Which would be bad for him because he needs the debates to try to force Biden to make a mistake. But even if there is a mistake it is already probably too late for him.

Well he doesn't have to go on any more debates.  He may believe it will get him the sympathy vote.  Maybe all the liberals wanting him to die will make them look bad so he can get a few more votes there or he can tout his vaccine and hydroxychloroquine/Zinc combo as a cure and comeback saying how he was right.  There are a lot of angles he could play this so it should be interesting to see how things shake out in the next 2 weeks.

You're gonna have to quantify this statement with evidence because I'm PRETTY sure that sounds like some right-wing nutjob conspiracy 'it's just the common flu' style nonsense. I'd need to see some pretty significant proof to back this claim, since it seems like you think you know better than the doctors and scientists who literally do this shit for a living.

Don't know why I'm wasting time with such a horrible person like you that are only here to pick up fights, provoke and offend other people and look for endless arguments but there you go. I could look for more but again, you are not worthy.

Disclaimer for other people reading this, as I was painted as right wing nutjob that knows more than scientists: I definitely believe in the seriousness of covid-19, I use a mask all the time, pratice social distancing and even downloaded the UK govt app which allows them to track me 100% of the time, and also fulfilled my 15 day quarantine when I had to leave uk recently. My wife is pregnant and we are really scared of she contracting the virus as we dont know yet if there may be any implication on newborn babies when the mother contracted the virus. Also fake positives exist and it is happening a lot with football teams in south america for example. But for trump it is very unlikely this may happen as he probably got a team of scientists that can test him with the best technology available. As of right now reading the news he clearly got the virus and already got symptoms although mild.
