How does getting sick, largely due to his own stubbornness and poor judgement, equate to securing his re-election?  Most people will conclude that this is akin to running around with scissors in your hand or driving home drunk...not something that instills a lot of confidence.

I agree with you, but still, isn't it amazing how Trump manages to draw all the attention to himself no matter what?  He blots out the sun.  He's Jesus to some, he's the Devil himself to others.  But no matter what happens, all the attention is on him.  

The way I see it (and of course this is a product of my own opinion of the guy), it's as if he does one bad thing, and follows it with a worse thing in order to get the previous bad thing out of the news.  Didn't pay any taxes?  So he goes to the debate and acts like he's on meth and we all forget about the tax issue.  Getting criticism for his debate performance?  So he gets himself infected with Covid and all the attention goes to him being in the hospital.  

He stumbles from one disaster after another, with each disaster taking the attention off the previous disaster.  And all the attention is on him.
