Donald Trump Tests Positive For COVID-19: Did ‘The Simpsons’ Predict This?
BREAKING NEWS: President Donald Trump and his wife First Lady Melania Trump have both tested positive for COVID-19. The POTUS took to Twitter just an hour ago to break the news.
“Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” Trump shared on Twitter just before 1:00 a.m. on Friday morning.
This is a serious development for the United States.
According to CNN, this is a pretty serious development. First of all, Donald Trump is in the final stretch of his reelection campaign. Furthermore, President Trump is 74-years-old. This puts him in the highest risk category for severe complications because of the virus. The virus which has reportedly killed over 200,000 people within the United States. And, over a million people around the world.
CNN confirms Donald Trump was last in public on Thursday afternoon. He had just returned to the White House after attending a fundraising trip. Reporters have confirmed the POTUS did not show any signs of being sick as he returned.
Unfortunately for those hoping this is a hoax, Navy Commander Dr. Sean Conley, the President’s physician, has also confirmed the diagnosis. Conley reassured everyone both Donald Trump and his wife were well at this time. And, they would be quarantined within the White House. Moreover, citizens of the U.S. could take comfort in knowing Donald and his wife would be monitored constantly.
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. Rest assured I expect the President to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering, and I will keep you updated on any further developments.”
Donald Trump had already previously taken to Twitter to announce the decision to quarantine before getting the positive rest results. He explained one of his close aides — Hope Hicks — had tested positive. Because of his close contact, it was necessary to quarantine regardless of the test results.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Ironically enough, this news comes just after Donald Trump pokes fun at his competition for wearing face masks during the recent televised debate.
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!

Trump has tested positive for the coronavirus after he spent months downplaying its severity, refused to regularly wear a mask, undercut top scientists, and so severely mismanaged the nation's response that more than 200,000 Americans are dead.https://t.co/WeiDEwpBXR
