After months of minimizing the pandemic and more than 200,000 American deaths, President Trump announced in a middle-of-the-night tweet that he and the First Lady have tested positive for COVID-19.

  • The Trumps' positive tests came after senior White House adviser Hope Hick began showing symptoms and tested positive.
  • The President traveled to New Jersey Thursday after learning that Hicks had tested positive.
  • Trump has checked into Walter Reed.
  • Their positive tests come a month before the election.

  1. I’m seriously praying for good health, for Joe and Jill Biden, and all of the folks that were in the debate hall working behind the scenes. That is all.

  2. I’d like to think this would give him pause to reflect on the horrible things he’s done and make an attempt to be a better person, but fuck, who am I kidding?

  3. is it wrong of me not to believe this for a second? Gets him out of future debates. Allows him to really wallow in his victimhood. Can condemn Biden for “campaigning”. Knocks proud boys and whatever other financial bombshells the NYT’s may have had out of the news.

  4. So…someone else tweeted the message since they used the phrase Covid-19.

  5. Nah…this flies in the face of all his lies about the disease. He would never want to admit to this.
