I doubt it's fake, it's push covid back to the very top of the news agenda, the last thing the Trump campaign wanted.

Not if the story is their guy beating it and showing how strong he is compared to Biden.

He’s not going to die. He’s going to beat Covid

Given his behaviour, the unwillingness to socially distance or wear masks, and the number of people he comes into contact with, it was highly likely he would get it at some point. There's really no need to seek out an alternative explanation involving a conspiracy to create a pretence that he has it - the chances of such a scheme being hatched and successfully carried out without leaking are tiny in comparison.

is it two weeks he is supposed to stay at home with his wife who hates him, no crowds no press to shout at, just eating burgers in front of the tv?

St. Coronavirus? Hmm, has a certain ring to it.

If he doesn't get ill from it, it'll feed the narrative that it's no worse than flu, maybe even less of a deal than flu. Whatever happens, Trumpets will bend it to suit their narrative.

I thought the only reason he hadn't gotten it until now might have been because he has built up an incredibly strong immune system over a lifetime of servants spitting in his food.

Yep, I can see more scenarios where this harms Biden than Trump.
But just thinking about the Trump dies or becomes too ill to stand scenario (unlikely, I know), how do they get Pence or anyone else on the ballot fro President? Significant numbers will have already voted on a Trump v Biden ballot. Admittedly, I could go and look this up...

Trump tests positive for Covid-19: What happens if a US presidential candidate is incapacitated or dies before the election?
There have been concerns for both Mr Trump, 74, and his presidential rival Mr Joe Biden, 77, due to their advanced age, writes US bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Herman Cain, another 74-year-old Republican hydroxychloroquine enthusiast, died 31 days after he was diagnosed with the coronavirus following a Trump rally.
If it goes the same way for Trump, he'll die on Election Day - hard to imagine him gaining many votes after the diagnosis, but everything else this year has been so weird that it seems fitting that Americans might end up electing a dead president.

Imagine if he dies a few days before the election, and it all dissolves into some Weekend At Bernie's farce to get him over the line so Pence can take over....

Meanwhile it looks like Biden's fundraising hit another record month:

That gives Biden the most cash on hand before the election. Most of the time the candidate who raised the most money generally wins. That's wrong on a lot of levels, but gives me some hope that Trump won't win again. I still have a feeling deep in the pit of my stomach that Trump will still win.
Biden Breaks Fundraising Record Again, Buoyed by Debate
Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign set another fundraising record in September, surpassing the unprecedented $364.5 million it raised in August, according to three people familiar with the matter.

If he wins then dies, Pence would become president

Wacky Races-style dash to the White House. Whoever gets to the chair in the Oval Office first wins the presidency.

Only if he makes it to the chair first.
He looks like he'd be faster than Biden tbf.

I think Kamala Harris would then be the President Elect, but don't quote me on it. It would certainly muddy things up when they least need it.
