True, but our aim should be to hand anti-terror efforts to foreign governments where it's a much bigger problem. At the same time, we can keep defenses up at home.

You can't stop lone wolf attacks. You need to directly attack the source and shatter their legitimacy.

If they do cover it up and Trump wins as a corpse, Pence gets his next 4 years as the President Nobody Asked For.
If both of them die because Pence and Trump spend too much time cuddling while taking turns coughing in each others mouths as a dare, the chain of command would go in it's usual order, both before and after the election.

The thing is most if not all of the ballots have been printed. We have voted as have an unprecedented number of others. If Biden wins as expected the point is moot whatever happens to Trump. If Trump wins, having died in the meantime, well, there is no precedent. There are no effective laws requiring electors to vote for any candidate so it's possible some unforeseen split within the Republican Party will throw the election into the House.
My working hypothesis is that Trump's demise would be a wash electorally. The number of Trumpists who would simply stay home would roughy balance the number of "soft Republicans" who would turn out to support Pence or whoever. But that's just a guess really.
As for the clown in the Oval Office I don't feel the least bit sorry. He's spent most of the last year sacrificing the health and lives of the people he theoretically governs to serve the interests of his own reelection. It's only just -- not to mention predictable -- that he has contracted the disease that has killed nearly 210,000 Americans. And I hope it goes through the White House staff like gangrene through a Civil War hospital.

I still think Biden won't be a good president by any means but stepping back from campaigning and showing some civility, even when it's someone you dislike as much as Trump, is an admirable thing. Especially nowadays.

The problem? After all the lies; why is to be trusted without question? Is he really sick? Is this a campaign stunt?
He does have several things against him. Obesity, bad health and old age.
If he is in a bad way; Pence would be in charge.
I just don’t know.....

Technically, the Vice President only takes over when the President is otherwise indisposed to make decisions. He only takes over when it becomes otherwise extremely inconvenient to have Trump continue to be in a leadership position.

It’s not a campaign stunt. Campaign and being in front of people is his life blood. He has to give that up and spend at least 5 days in a hospital.
That’s not a campaign stunt that’s a deathnell for a campaign

And yet the debate results were rather dismal. He will not improve as he is a one trick pony and people know what is coming. I wonder if this is to get out of the other debate(s).
If he is sick; he will be in there longer as he has the three strikes against him.
