NOW: @realDonaldTrump is on the phone with @seanhannity. He says he's "feeling really good" and tells Hannity "I love your show"
"I'm in great shape," says @realDonaldTrump, who is obese and does not believe in exercise.
Trump, speaking with a bit of a subdued affect, says he wants to do rallies in PA and FL this weekend.
.@realDonaldTrump says doctors "found very little infection or virus" when he tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 last week.
.@realDonaldTrump responds to a Hannity question about the upcoming (canceled) debate next week by airing a grievance about his microphone from 2016.
"I asked Biden about why did you get all of that money from the mayor of Russia, from the wife of the mayor of Russia," says @realDonaldTrump, confusing Moscow with the country it is the capital of.
.@realDonaldTrump now attacking @SteveScully for interning for @JoeBiden when he was 18 years old.
.@realDonaldTrump muses about demanding that @JoeBiden participate in a debate moderated by a Fox opinion personality and falsely claims that @SteveScully is a "never-Trumper"
.@realDonaldTrump has revised his prediction that @JoeBiden will die after two months in office. He now says @KamalaHarris will take over after three months.
"nobody talks about life anymore," says @realDonaldTrump, who bragged about being given a drug made with fetal tissue.
Trump's overarching grievance this evening seems to be that @TeamJoe has been successful at defining the terms of this year's race.
"I think I should do very well with suburban women," says @realDonaldTrump, who is currently losing with women by double digits.
Trump complains that @JoeBiden won't mention "the word law and order," but "law and order" is three words.

Problem is Biden did use those words at their last debate.
Trump claims electing Biden would "put our country into a depression, the likes of which our country has never seen before and that possibly includes 1929."

Analysts at Moodys, Goldman Sachs, and other entities all say Biden's economic plan would be better for the US than Trump.
"our country will be a ninth world country" if @JoeBiden is elected, @realDonaldTrump says.

There is no such thing as a "ninth world country"
Trump says California has "the biggest forest fires, because they don't manage their land," but most of the forests in California are on federal land.
Trump has coughed a few times tonight.
Trump again claims he has "sheriffs" and "us marshals" watching ballots.
Trump says "to get into the Democratic National Convention, you had to have voter ID," which is ridiculous because the convention was virtual this year and the few in-person events required credentials the DNC issued.
.@realDonaldTrump says he's "doing great in Ohio" and "doing great in Iowa"

NOW: @realDonaldTrump is telling @MariaBartiromo he won't debate @JoeBiden if it's done remotely.

"No, I'm not gonna waste my time on a virtual debate, that's not what debating is all about."
"I don't think I'm contagious at all," @realDonaldTrump says.

(he is still contagious)
"Remember this — when you catch it you get better. And then you're immune," @realDonaldTrump adds.

This is false because many people — over 210,000 in the US — have not gotten better. They're dead.

NEW: @realDonaldTrump’s bout w/ COVID could further focus voters’ attention on the candidates to be the world's most famous second banana, one of whom, @mike_pence, is currently one obese 74-year-old coronavirus patient’s heartbeat away from the presidency.independent.co.uk/voices/kamala-…
DC Uber-lawyer Robert Barnett, who played Pence during @TimKaine's debate prep, said Harris faces "a whole different situation" than Kaine did in 2016 "because there's not going to be one moment of discussion of [Pence's] Indiana record. independent.co.uk/voices/kamala-…
"In 2016, [Pence] had to defend then-candidate Trump as a reality show host and a real estate developer. Now he's got to defend the top of the ticket as a four-year incumbent, and that's a very different burden," Barnett explained. independent.co.uk/voices/kamala-…

NEW: Trumpworld insiders say @realDonaldTrump’s announcement that he’d tested positive for COVID-19 could also signal the end of his re-election hopes, or as one staffer put it: “He’s fucked, we’re fucked.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-c…
“No matter what we do, the next two weeks or more will be about him not being able to protect himself or us from Covid,” said the staffer.

When informed that ex-VP @JoeBiden and his wife @DrBiden had tested negative, they replied: “Double fucked.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-c…
Dem strategist @Theonlyhonest said Trump’s efforts to change the subject to the economy or “law and order” are now doomed: “Getting infected... after...mocking @JoeBiden for wearing a mask...I think that that's just gonna be the end of it for voters.” independent.co.uk/voices/trump-c…

.@PressSec is about to begin her usual song and dance session (minus singing and dancing). Follow along here for the usual whatever.
.@PressSec opens briefing by noting anniversary of Las Vegas mass shooting, then turns to reciting Judge Barrett's resume.
.@JohnRobertsFox, who asks for "a definitive and declarative statement, without ambiguity, or deflections as the person who speaks for the President" on whether @realDonaldTrump denounces white supremacism and groups that espouse it in all forms.

@PressSec deflects.
