Very short term. Just like it plummeted for a day or so after his surprising win over Hillary.
Short term or long term?

Weren't masks supposed to prevent others from getting it and stopping spread? Where is the goal post at this point? First it was to stop the spread from infected people to others and now it stops the virus from getting in you? Which is it?
Either way he won't die. Wishing his son dead is also pretty sick. Lots of people I don't like, but wishing death on others is being a shitty human. Congrats.
I wonder what new excuses the mask deniers will come up with next .

Think you got it backwards. It fell while Hillary was expected, when Trump won it surged. S&P500:
DOW & Nasdaq are similar.
Although, I do remember all the "expert" talking heads told me so many times that if Trump won, it would be chaos and doomsday.

LOL! Some fake newsters are saying Trump is faking Covid because he is afraid of debating Biden again.
I have to admit that when Clintons et alia send their best wishes for his recovery, it is NOT a good sign.

Corona virus is going to be sorry it ever met Trump. The only thing worse would be meeting Chuck Norris.
Edit: Or Bruce Lee if he were still alive. The only person who can beat Bruce Lee is Bruce Lee.

True believers can't be convinced.
Once they have it in their head that catastrophe is imminent even evidence to the contrary will not change their minds.

Hmmm..... thank you for sharing. I remembered there was some kind of drama.
OK then, stock market will plunge, very short term.

Pence becomes president, then appointments Trump Jr as VP. Then Pence resigns, and Trump Jr becomes President. Trump Jr then picks Pence as VP. Trump Jr gets re-elected in 2024.

That means that twice as many people are betting that Trump will live. The generic claim of a "74 year old with heart problems" does not apply to Trump.
Online Betting Websites Place ODDS Of Trump Dying From Corona At 33%!

And in the meantime all the news is about Trump having Corona. Even if Biden was campaigning, the main coverage is still Trump as he sits in a hospital. Trump getting rona is probably going to bump him a point or two in the BS polls.
Yup. Trump will be in the hospital for maybe two weeks. Then he'll be cleared and get to boast being the guy who beat the "China Virus" while Biden will have been hiding in fear behind his mask and non-campaigning the entire time.

When you throttle Irony like that, Biden might die before the election. Trump is returning home tomorrow.
Biden must get the tube and wait and pray for a vaccine. Per Fauci, because nothing is effective.

Well Trump is Trump and he’s taking the tack that Covid is no big thing when set against the therapeutics we have to combat it today.
Although I do think he’s just high on Dexamethasone and feeling good. That drug alone will probably turn around almost any Covid infection and clear up lung issues. High altitude mountain climbers use it to keep their lungs clear and not water logged as can happen when scaling very high mountains over a course of days and weeks.
Trump isn’t bowing to the Covid fear, he’s turning that tale on its head and modeling the optimist’s course through the pandemic. Basically, he’s saying that Covid is easily beaten now.
What happens when they harvest Trump’s plasma and clone it so they can offer Trumpian “tiger blood” for anyone battling Covid?

So what if Pence gets it next after the VP debate?
(Not that I want to see that happen.)
Suddenly well go from "keep 6 ft apart to keep 18 ft apart... in full hazmat suits"
Don't get me wrong I'm not trying to downplay this... but it is strange to see the amount of caution (or lack there of) generally fall along political lines.
Its a shame really. What ever happened to we all isolate for 14 days and this goes away? Or Flatten the curve. Now it's wait for a vaccine... but we can't rush a vaccine. Masks work, not they don't, yes they do...
Ugh. Its clear they are making it up as the go and have no real idea what "best practices" are or are not effective; except washing your hands regularly which is just common sense.

If Trump dies before election (or is "deathly ill" by November) I predict Trump voters will mostly stay home and Biden will win. If the Dems grab the upper and lower houses as well as the oval office, that'll be the end of the country as we know it... next stop: Venezuela or Civil War II.

Here are my predictions:
- Trump and Melania get better, remain fine after that
- public consciousness starts to turn from "OMG we're all going to die!" to "huh, only 0.26% of the people who get this die, and they are all obese or in very poor health"
- the media desperately hypes the "OMG we're all going to die!" yet again and BIGGER AND LOUDER
- even more people realize the MSM is complete and utter bullshit, turning to the National Enquirer for much higher quality news than the MSM
- Trump wins by an even bigger margin than he would have otherwise
