Immunity Bravado

The egotistical and potentially mistaken belief that one is so healthy that they a) would have no issues with the Covid infection and take very little or no precautions not to get it or b) believe they probably have had a case already and it was mild since they are so healthy and are now immune and may seek an antibody test to confirm or c) they announce their wish to get infected just to get it over with and again are overconfident with their current state of health.

bravado

When you’re an ex-President test driving excuse #13 for willfully retaining classified documents.

There is no Iran war plan. In fact, there is no document. I guess you could say it was bravado. I’m a legitimate person.
