Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
A report from c|net adds:
White House physician Dr. Sean Conley said in a memorandum late Thursday that the president and first lady were "both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence."
The announcement of the president and first lady's positive coronavirus test results came just hours after the revelation that top White House aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for the virus as well. The president indicated in an earlier tweet that he and the first lady had begun the quarantine process.
Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!

Hope he gets the full Covid experience, wouldn't want him to miss anything.
Old and morbidly obese, mmmmm ....

No. I hope he lives through it. And refuses to resign as a candidate. And gets declared incapacitated around January 1. Bonus points if Pence also turns out to be infected and is also declared incapacitated one day later. (And was too sick to do anything while acting pres.)
Otherwise things get a bit dicier than I prefer. (As a bonus he'll then get to experience the after effects.)

I didn't say I want hm to die, I don't. A quick death would be much too good for him. I want him to have a long painful illness and become a "long-hauler".

what a stupid bitch. it doesn't matter how deadly a disease is. the fucking government has not rightful authority to close anything except their own buildings. something you slaves and bootlickers are going to find out the hard way, evidently.

Government indeed does have rightful authority to impose quarantines and business restrictions.

Even if he's really sick do you think we'll be told? No. If he lives then it will be "I survived it, twas nothing but a scratch..." I don't wish death on him but I do hope it takes him out of the race. Of course he'll say he wants a do-over because he wasn't well enough to campaign but that's just Trump being Trump.

All the actual data shows it is a big load of nothing. You would know this if you were not blinded by your political partisanship. Which, I might add, is making me lose respect for quite a few people in this thread.
