Liberals rejoiced as President Trump announced that he had tested positive and will be entering quarantine a month before the election.
Just when you thought that it couldn’t get any crazier, the news has broken that President Trump has tested positive for COVID-19 and will be entering quarantine along with First Lady Melania who also tested positive for the virus.
In a tweet just after 1 am on Friday morning, Trump gave the news of the positive tests.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 2, 2020
Per Trump:
“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!”
Only hours before, the news broke that White House aide Hope Hicks had tested positive, the president wished her well and said that he was awaiting test results.
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 tests came back positive.
Via Reuters, “Trump and wife Melania test positive for coronavirus”:
President Donald Trump, who minimized the threat of the coronavirus pandemic for months, said on Friday that he and his wife Melania had tested positive for COVID-19 and were going into quarantine, upending the race for the White House.
“We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” the president said in a tweet early on Friday morning.
Trump, 74, is at high risk with the deadly virus both because of his age and because he is considered overweight. He has remained in good health during his time in office but is not known to exercise regularly or to follow a healthy diet.
Trump minimized the seriousness of the pandemic in its early stages and has repeatedly predicted it would go away. He rarely wears a mask and criticizes people, including Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who do.
More than 200,000 people have died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, in the United States alone, with the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions especially hard hit.
The news comes only days after a brutal debate when moderator Chris Wallace repeatedly interrupted the POTUS in order to protect Joe Biden – it is unknown whether either of them has also been tested.
This is a developing story…
