Mia Farrow joins in on conspiracy theory Trump may be faking Covid-19 faced with losing election to save face

Farrow chimed in on the conspiracy theory that Trump could be making up testing positive for coronavirus as 'a way of bailing out while saving face', leaving social media users divided

Actress Mia Farrow has joined in on the Donald Trump COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Trump and Melania tested positive for the virus on Thursday, October 1. Trump himself had taken to Twitter to confirm the news that he had tested positive for the same. A conspiracy theory suggests that POTUS Trump could be making up testing positive for coronavirus as he is facing being defeated in the upcoming election.

Mia Farrow has chimed in on the theory and had taken to social media to express the same. Farrow had taken to Twitter to share, "Could he be making this up because he’s faced with losing & this is a way of bailing out while saving face."

Farrow who is a vocal supporter of Trump's presidential candidate rival Joe Biden had echoed the same sentiments as Michael Moore who had taken to Facebook to share a long post. Moore had written, "He’s an evil genius and I raise the possibility of him lying about having COVID-19 to prepare us and counteract his game." "He knows being sick tends to gain one sympathy. He’s not above weaponizing this," the post read. 

Many social media users commented on Farrow's post with the users being left divided. One user had written, "Would he do it for a diversion? Sympathy? Attention? Delay the election? Appear in 10 days to say it’s nothing? I hate that we are pushed to this thinking but the constant lies from the WH provoke it." Another user who was speculating the same commented and shared, "That’s the saddest thing about this administration. We never know who or what is true. He may have a light case & wants to rally his base for 'God’s Miracle' or he could be very ill. There is no trusted information."

"Or to have a miraculously fast recovery, proving his physical 'health,' that COVID is just like the flu, and be a big hero to his followers. Also, avoids debates. I don't put any trick past him," wrote yet another social media user. 

There were many social media users who seemed to be in disagreement and shared that it was unlikely that Trump was faking it. One such user shared, "I actually thought the same thing, but I don’t believe he would have gone to the hospital. He’s scared to death of hospitals. His father and both his brothers went in and didn’t come home. He wouldn’t go unless he had to."

"That crossed my mind, but then again there are a lot of doctors involved. If it's just the WH doctor testing him, there is some doubt, but if it's the hospital it would be much more difficult to fake testing positive," another social media user had written. Yet another social media had continued, "There has been a lot of speculation about that, but I just can't see him giving up his rallies with his adoring fans. And his ego is too fragile to intentionally appear weak. As much as he lies, I don't think he's faking this."

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump tested positive for Covid-19 on October 2. The news was confirmed after POTUS took to Twitter. He wrote, “Tonight, FLOTUS, and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”
