WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus, the president tweeted early Friday.

Trump’s positive test comes just hours after the White House announced that senior aide Hope Hicks came down with the virus after traveling with the president several times this week. Trump was last seen by reporters returning to the White House on Thursday evening and looked to be in good health. Trump is 74 years old, putting him at higher risk of serious complications from a virus that has now killed more than 200,000 people nationwide.

“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 tweeted.

The first thing that popped into my brain was if anyone knew he was positive before the debate. Because if he is positive then old Joe probably is too.

Now we see if the Hydroxychloraquine (sp?) Azithromycin, and Zinc do what has been advertised.

2nd debate is scheduled for October 15

This will be interesting.

Prayers for the President and 1st Lady to get through this quickly and easily.

I can't say I'm surprised but I do pray they both recover quickly and fully.

Maybe I read it wrong, but I was under the impression that he had previously said he been taking both as a preventative all along.
edit...
Reading back in the news, it appears he only took hydroxychloroquine for 2 weeks back in May then quit taking it.

I believe that eventually, we'll all be exposed to it.

They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Personally, I'm hoping for a vaccine.

Just goes to show/prove, no one is fully protected from this virus. Now, where's that deserted island I read about.......

I pray they and the staff get over it soon without complications.


I can hear the haters celebrating already.


When the Trumps get over this, it could have an impact on how Americans views the virus.

I would add that I hope they keep testing just in case it is a false positive, but I have to assume they are ready do.

I think it's disgusting how some people will wish death upon someone, just because of a differing political viewpoint.

It is really sad that some of the mainstream media is happy about this as you can hear it in there comments

Not that I disagree with you, I can see people making a distinction between differing political views and somebody like Trump. Trump has made policies that directly affected people. Just talking politics does not reach out and touch people like that.
Ruth is the same way, she made it legal to kill 10s of millions of babies. But I did not see the public celebrating her death, I did not even see people celebrating the news that she had cancer.
Time will tell if the tolerant left is really tolerant.
