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!

I'm the AC you're replying to. I think civility is important and I think it crosses lines to wish something like ARDS on anyone. I'm not comfortable with it. It's a false dichotomy to assume that disavowing such rhetoric means I'm a Trump supporter.
1) I'm going to vote for Joe Biden. I want Trump removed from office, either through the election or by impeaching him for his many crimes.
2) Trump is a racist. He's a white supremacist. Racism and white supremacy are intrinsically evil and must ALWAYS be condemned without reservation. Full stop.
3) Trump and his administration are responsible for an array of human rights violations. These include the atrocities in the ICE concentration camps and gassing protesters in Lafayette Square for Trump's photo op. Trump, Pence, and other top officials in the administration should be tried for crimes against humanity. I want to put the Trump administration on trial, either in federal court or using the precedent of the Nuremberg trials.
4) It's very clear that the Trump family has engaged in a variety of fraud on a massive scale for decades. The complicit parties should be prosecuted and be forced to repay everyone they've defrauded.
I'm not a defender of Trump. I want Trump removed from office by measures consistent with the Constitution, then for him to be brought ot justice for his many crimes.

There's nothing wrong with "racism". The term was only invented by Jews to demonize any whites who try and resist the White Genocide they have been perpetrating for centuries.

Point made. Now somebody punch this fucking Nazi in the face. A kick to the gonads would also not be out of order.
