Hours after President Donald J. Trump’s top advisor Hope Hicks tested positive for COVID-19, the President and his wife Melania have both confirmed they have tested positive for COVID -19. This comes after Trump met with wealthy campaign donors at his New Jersey Bedminister Golf Course on Thursday.
“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 said last night before learning of his own diagnosis.
The President said he was starting his own quarantine shortly after finding out Hicks tested positive.
“The First Lady and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER,” the President said.
The news of Trump’s COVID-19 positive test sent markets in Asia on a downward trend that is expected to carry over today when financial markets open in America.
“My best wishes to President Trump and the First Lady,” said Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson who had contracted the virus earlier this year. “Hope they both have a speedy recovery from coronavirus.”
Many on the left are using Trump’s diagnoses as a reminder of how cavalier the President has been with the seriousness of the virus, others even cheering the diagnosis.
