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!

Exactly: is it more fake news? Marketing? Get his name i the news CONSTANTLY and he gets to avoid looking dumb in future debates because they're cancelled?
I'm guessing the NDP got elected in Quebec (Canada) because the NDP leader died and there was CONSTANT news about him: CONSTANTLY being talked about, what a (sarcasm) 'great' man (/sarcasm) he was that Quebeckers said "Hey, everyone is talking about this GREAT NDP leader! I'm voting NDP!"
Trump could avoid debates, gain sympathy for him and his, "get better" with no resulting problems AND have his name in the news CONSTANTLY......
.....watch for him to "get better".
....marketing at it's finest?

Not only avoid debates, but he and Melania now have a sick note from their Doctor telling them they aren't allowed to go out and do all that tiresome last weeks campaigning... totally on-brand for Mr. Bone Spurs.

I thought he liked campaign rallies, even during the pandemic.

after watching the end of the debate where Trump greets Melania with a "Hey, buddy, hows it going" pat on the back, my guess is they won't be spending the time catching up on 'making whoopy', lol.
My bet is if he loses this election, she'll ask for a divorce unless he has a pre-nup giving her nothing. Maybe even if he wins...they do not look like they are in love.

Er, Jack Layton leading the NDP to sweep most of Quebec happened before he died, and the NDP failed to replicate that success in the subsequent general election.

Yeah, sorry: it was all the news about him being caught at the 'massage parlour', getting a massage at a place known for 'massages +'.
