President Trump Testing Positive for Covid-19

Maybe they'll follow the Minhag of those who had a lchaim in honor of RBG dying.

You have to be consistent.
Which Shul had a lchaim?

Idk about shuls, but people were happy to write into the Jewish vues about it.

Do we have a halacha obligation to pray for the president (ruler) just like we make the bracha when we meet him?

R' Shmuel Kaminetzky said you should vote for him, and my LOR said therefore we can daven for him to win on R"H/Y"K, so I'd say you can pray for him. Although I can't say if it's an obligation.
My issue is another one of my LORs votes for Biden, so I have no idea what to do.

How many LORs do you have?

That's what happens to everyone with mild cases.

Aren't you giddy.

[shaulyaakov]

Aren't you giddy.

Not giddy, I just think the white house is lying about the lack of severity here. Not to mention still mad that they didn't think to cancel last night's event.

[Kobe Bryant]

Wishful thinking.

[yuneeq]

Wishful thinking.

They’re saying he will be there at least a few days, does not sound mild to me. Hopefully he will recover quickly.

[Kobe Bryant]

President Trump in public for first time since COVID-19 diagnosis, gives thumbs-up before boarding marine one helicopter where he'll be taken to Walter Reed Medical Center as a precaution.

Given the current makeup of the executive branch, it’s not hard to imagine a scenario in which Secretary of State Mike Pompeo might, with the help of an aggressive attorney general, William Barr, challenge any attempt by Nancy Pelosi to ascend to the presidency if both Trump and Pence are incapacitated by Covid-19—perhaps even preemptively putting out a legal opinion that Pompeo is legally next in line for the acting presidency.

[shaulyaakov]

So, what we learned over the weekend:

- Trump tested positive on a rapid before PCR that was not disclosed (WSJ)
- Trump required O2 at WH before going to Walter Reid, all while his Dr was saying the case was mild
-Trump is getting a steroid treatment usually used in serious cases
-Trump needlessly exposed Secret Service Agents so he could be driven around the outside of the hospital.

Amazing.

Wonky government rules are fun to explore (see The West Wing, Designated Survivor, or Madam Secretary), until they aren't.

Mike Pence should be in  bubble wrap.

Funny that you mention

The vice president is under pressure from some Republicans to secure himself in Washington. Trump’s campaign has other plans.

This administration has never cared about good government - why start now?
