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!

    As the AC you replied to, I want to link you to my position on Trump and his administration: https://soylentnews.org/breakingnews/comments.pl?noupdate=1&sid=39845&page=1&cid=1060051 [soylentnews.org].

    I'll put it this way, if you like. Instead of dying in office, I want Trump to be voted out or impeached for crimes. I want him removed by means prescribed by the Constitution. Then I want him put on trial for his many crimes and human rights violations, and be forced to answer to everyone he's harmed. Trump's crimes and human rights violations are vast. I want him brought to justice. And all of those who are complicit in his crimes also need to be brought to justice.

    Ok, if you like it this way, go ahead.

    After which I want him to die. Of Covid. Before election. So hurry up, there's not much time left.
