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've seen far more headlines detailing Dem attempts to rig elections, than I have seen Rep attempts.

    Headlines, you fucking moron! Reports, untrue, biased, fake-news propaganda. Not actual cases. All the arrests have been Republican operatives, your favorite lying sack of shit and convicted Felon, James O'Keefe, Shannon Brown in Texas [abc13.com], Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman [nytimes.com], Leslie McCrae Dowless in North Carolina [reuters.com], just for some examples. Actual legal action, prosecution, for breaking the law and trying to cheat. You are really, really stupid, Runaway, if you see headlines like you claim. Are you hanging out in bad internet neighborhoods? Andrew Brietbarf is dead. John Birch was never alive. Jim Crow was not a real person. And Herman Cain thanks you for attending the Tulsa rally.
