Let’s start with this:
Less than an hour after news broke of Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis, the Washington Post tweeted, “Imagine what it will be like to never have to think about Trump again.” pic.twitter.com/tSovK6YTH0

Who expects anything less than this from the Washington Post? I certainly don’t.
On Thursday night it was announced that Trump, Melania and Hope Hicks have the coronavirus. I’m going to get off the internet as soon as I possibly can today because the social media propaganda outlets and the tabloid news slam books are going to be miserable.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

The POTUS and Melania do not have symptoms right now while Hope Hicks is symptomatic. The president has cancelled his Friday rally but will hold a conference call today with vulnerable seniors. From the president’s physician:
“This evening I received confirmation that both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the SARS-coV-2- virus,” Conley said. “The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”
“The White House medical team and I will maintain a vigilant watch, and I appreciate the support provided by some of our country’s greatest medical professionals and institutions,” he continued.
