Doesn't matter. Trumps doctor said he's making antibodie already. The antibodies were produced in 1 week rather than the usual 2 weeks and are said to be extremely potent. His plasma is literally liquid gold right now, each ml can cure one covid patient.

> We found that the most potent neutralizing antibodies are extremely rare and recognize the RBD, followed in potency by antibodies that recognize the S1 domain, the S-protein trimeric structure and the S2 subunit. The three most potent monoclonal antibodies identified were able to neutralize the wild type and D614G mutant viruses with less than 10 ng/mL and are good candidates for the development of prophylactic and therapeutic tools against SARS−CoV−2.

The Fly! [youtube.com] Horror movie starring Mike Pence. Coming this Halloween on VHS !!!
Even second graders know it is impolite to keep speaking when your turn is over.
If he can't obey even simple debate rules -- which he agreed to -- then why should I expect him to obey the law or the constitution?
The fly gets more views than the vice president. So maybe he hired the fly to inflate his views? Maybe the fly was supposed to land on his ear to whisper instructions from Putin? Difficult to believe that Stephen Miller and Jeff Sessions combined could suck enough blood out to turn him so wonder bread white.

If he swore an oath to uphold and defund the constitution, is that a stronger promise than agreeing to debate rules and then violating them?
Maybe he thought uphold was to "hold up" the constitution? Like either slowing it down (hold up) or a bank robbery (hold up).
How would that compare with a police officer's duty to swerve and infect?
