 This seems like the most plausible scenario to me. 

Since when does a nominated presidential candidate dropout of the race via a Xitter statement not on offical letterhead and with his old signature, with no video or press conference?

Biden didn’t know he was getting rolled and will be forced to take the deal (money & pardons) because the news cycle has already solidified before his demented old arse could act to halt it. https://i.nostr.build/TY0Ew6hX7wqSNa8K.jpg https://i.nostr.build/OQ07Vf8MGc4JM1ht.jpg https://i.nostr.build/SVTWpvoWo4V8hqjy.jpg

 I thought it was an account hack. It happened to Gensler, it can happen to the president too.

 The SEC account hack was “clarified” within ~10 minutes. 

Given no retraction or comms via another medium hours later with other Democrat higher-ups immediately weighing in, insider takeover of his comms channels to coup him before the Biden camp could respond seems more likely imo.

 Oh I know it’s not now. Just when the news broke I was skeptical until it was confirmed.

 They haven't told him yet. He's sleeping until Wednesday

 If this is one’s theory, seems more plausible they just tell him he has Covid, rather than actually infect him.
