President Trump's campaign manager Bill Stepien has tested positive for COVID-19 weeks before the general election

Stepien learned of the test results Friday, according to a Republican source with knowledge of the situation who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Stepien, a former White House official who took over the top campaign slot in July, will quarantine.

The news came on the same day that Trump himself announced he had tested positive and was moved to Walter Reed Medical Center outside of Washington, D.C., a revelation with the potential to upend the president's messaging on the virus. Another senior White House official, Hope Hicks, also tested positive earlier in the week.

Stepien, 42, led a call with reporters just days earlier about the presidential debates, noting that the Trump campaign was not in favor of changing the rules after the first debate on Tuesday in Cleveland drew criticism for spiraling out of control. The campaign was pushing that position before the news of the president's positive rest result.

Thank goodness the recovery rates are so high. Then there’s that New York Times article about up to 90% who tested positive were NOT infected 🤔

He was due to get fired any day now anyway!

Trading has been easy and smooth with Mr Jules Author . I invested $500 and got $6000 within a week. His reviews has always been great.. clink on this link to contact him 👇👇👇👇👇👇

Wow the way he looks at trump with utter contempt is just downright soothing.

Whatever happens to any of them is fairly deserved. They wouldn’t care if any of Biden’s team or him lives or dies, so we really don’t care at all what happens to Trump.

I dunno he looks pretty healthy here 😂😂

Hey here am new to this Tweet site I need more followers

President Trump has already won the election. He has over 1500 days until January 2025 Here is the math: From October 3, 2020 to January 20, 2025= 4 years, 3 months, 2 weeks, 3 days= 1570 days

this has to be a lesson to all and we need some new rules put in place, in the future, no president or government official can go against the CDC requirements, and only the CDC experts can give briefings on this virus and any other virus that we have to deal with in the future

Why do I keep envisioning dominoes falling?

That’s weird. He and his team had so many open rallies in few months, but just right before the election, the team had to be locked up and postponed all activities because of COVID-19.

Was it worth it Bill? To defy the CDC and science and not wear masks?

The White House is a hot spot of coronavirus by itself! A bunch of irresponsible people! Vote them out

I have some bleach he can drink if he needs any

Dominion effect how the Mighty has fallen, wear a f😷ucking damn mask

Simply, Ironic that WE, The ‘Sucker’ TAXPAYER$ Provide Washington with the Best, Most Expedient & Thorough Health Care!!!!

If Only Decency, Dedication & Diligence had Trump-Ed Disrespectfulness, Disregard & Defiance!

Over 200,000 Americans have needlessly died, From Covid; yet, safety guidelines Trump Defied! The narcissistic, smug & smart-aleck brute, Decided physicians’ & scientists’ advice, he’d refute! Lacking Leadership Skills, Morals & Sense, Spread & Contracted Virus; Selfish & Dense!

Siempre le dige Trump de no Confiar en la plata homoxesual que quiere destruir la humanidad

Why does he look like he just smelt a fart?

Not convinced that someone has not infected the Trump Campaign with malice and thought.

Being aware of the numbers infected which I was recently informed by a twitter user, there now could be clusters of infected high level governmental official which are scattered over several states adding to the already increasing positive coronavirus numbers

Lol. Karma

Caption: “I wish I could quit you”

This just keeps getting better

Well ,well what would you think rose garden no one had on a mask ,

WHAT TRUMP SAID TO AMERICANS WHEN THEY WERE SUFFERING & DYING FROM COVID.

Is this the guy he fired, or went to jail, or attempted suicide after ripping off campaign? None of the above? Oh, shit.

WHAT DID TRUMP SAY WHEN US PEOPLE WERE DYING OF COVID AT HIS ARROGANT HANDS? 'IT IS WHAT IT IS'. THE SAME THE US TREATS THE WORLD AND THE SAME AS SAYING

The entire Trump campaign and administration are all going to beat this virus...hence why it was all a set up by Trump and his fellow Republicans (soldiers)

If you are a registered Democrat or Independent, can you catch the GOP virus?
