If anything, since he and Melania got it, I'm optimistic this may be a sobering experience for him since even he was afflicted, and it may even humble him a bit concerning his own mortality. Can't say for sure, but hope springs eternal.
And I believe it may be overly pessimistic to think people who like Trump to some degree (raises hand) are going to laugh off COVID no matter what. I've considered this plague to be deadly serious since day one, and I would be very disappointed if this experience does not leave Trump a little more grateful for his life assuming he passes through this trial of disease alive. Assuming he tries to laugh it off in any way, I will be the first to voice my disgust if he takes this lightly.
The Brazilian president Bolsonaro got Covid and proceeded to laugh it off and claim his recovery was evidence that it was overblown and could be cured by taking anti-malarial pills.
