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!

The ONLY reason he caught the COVID was because he got tested for it like an idiot, phfft amateur! What did he expect? I guess masks don't work after all.

masks work if the infected person was wearing one, properly, and everyone was also practicing proper social distancing and correct hygiene practices...
too much for some.

Masks don't stop it from sporeading in fecal matter or via tears, ears, and sweat.
You need to plug all orifices to be safe.

Yes, but the infected person that gave Trump a golden shower WAS wearing a mask, and he still got COVID.
