Trump tests positive for coronavirus

The comments on the twitter feed are interesting.

If someone was to say them on here they'd probably get banned.

The nation mourns.

Pence and Pompeo tested negative. I hope Barron does not have it.

Biden kept his social distance during and after the debate.

Any way it got out because Trump tweeted it out. After Hope Hicks got it Trump was on Fox news and said he and Melenia were being tested. After that no way to hide it.

And say it wasn't a big deal.

As of Friday morning, the President is "in good spirits" but is experiencing mild symptoms related to Covid-19, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told reporters.
"The President does have mild symptoms," Meadows said, describing him as "very energetic."

Inside the White House, aides described a sense of panic as they worked to determine who else in the senior levels of government may have contracted the disease and whether the President -- who falls squarely within the highest risk category for serious complications and who has been guarded about revealing details of his health -- was displaying symptoms.

Trump appeared tired over the course of Thursday prior to testing positive for coronavirus, according to people who interacted with him, but was not displaying severe symptoms of the disease.

A senior administration official said Friday that Trump wasn't showing major symptoms and planned to work from the White House residence. A White House official also said aides were looking at ways for Trump to speak to the nation on Friday, though no final decision had been made by mid-morning.

Questions remained about why the President proceeded with his schedule on Thursday, including flying to attend a fundraiser in New Jersey, despite being in close contact with an aide, Hope Hicks, who was known by a small group of aides to have tested positive.

A person who attended the fundraiser in New Jersey said he seemed subdued when speaking to an indoor roundtable event and later to a group of supporters gathered outside.

Trump's roundtable occurred indoors at a socially-distanced table. Guests did not wear masks, but a person familiar with the matter said the attendees were tested ahead of time.

Both Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, senior advisers to Trump, tested negative for coronavirus Friday morning, the White House said.

But on Friday, the Republican National Committee said its chairwoman Ronna McDaniel did receive positive test results on Wednesday. She has been at her home in Michigan since the weekend.

the only reason i don't want the SOB to kick the bucket is Pence who is his impeachment insurance.

... Plus now there won't be anymore embarrassing debates.
