May Americans NOT make this political.... When FDR was hospitalized, ALL Americans prayed for him and wanted nothing more than for him to recover; no one suggested we should celebrate and hope he dies. When JFK was shot, ALL Americans prayed for him and wanted nothing other than for him to survive and recover, no one suggested we should celebrate. When Reagan was shot, ALL Americans prayed for him and wanted nothing other than for him to quickly recover. When Clinton has his heart attack, ALL Americans (Republicans and Democrats, people who liked his politics and those who did not) prayed for him and wanted nothing other than a full and swift recovery. But today, I saw two items on facebook - one showing a man celebrating and rejoicing and laughing. Another with multiple four-letter words to punctuate, "I hope the _____ _____dies and rots in hell."
Regardless of what any may think of his policies, our president and his wife have a HORRIBLE disease and because of his age and a health issue, he is at a higher risk. As Christians (or even as civilized people), can we join in just praying for him and genuinely hoping God answers it? We ONCE could.

Something else to just consider.....
NO ONE in the United States of America is more protected than is the president, including for health issues. Anyone who is remotely going to get anywhere close to him is tested, EVERY precaution imaginable has been taken to prevent him getting this. NONE of us are as safe from this as he was. And he got it. What does that say for us?
Perhaps our prayers should be even more passionate - that ALL of us be kept safe from this pandemic, including those doing everything possible to prevent it.

Trump lies so often and so egregiously that I don't know whether or not to believe that he and Melania have actually tested positive. He can spin this in so many ways. First is the sympathy factor. Second his performance in the recent debate was such a disaster that this is a convenient out on completing the debate schedule. Third is the possibility of delaying the election itself. All these would provide Trump with extra time to further muddy the waters and try to spin things his way. IMHO the only solution is that he should submit to several independent tests conducted through respected medical institutions such as the CDC and Johns Hopkins. I am skeptical, very skeptical.
On the other hand if they are actually ill, I wish them a speedy recovery.

Since this thread was placed in the Prayer forum could we please keep it to prayer responses?

If anyone politically opposed to Trump really wants to make it political, read this first:

As a Muslim, I consider it my duty to pray for Boris Johnson. I'm shocked by my peers who don't think the same
Personally and politically, I worry for what would happen if the PM succumbed to this cruel disease

Excellent commentary.
