President Donald Trump says he and first lady Melania Trump are beginning a “quarantine process” as they await coronavirus test results after a top aide he spent substantial time with this week tested positive for COVID-19.
Earlier, during a call-in interview with Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity, Trump said: “Whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don’t know. I just went for a test and we’ll see what happens.” The positive test is yet another reminder that the coronavirus continues to spread, even as Trump has tried desperately to suggest it no longer poses a danger. Since it emerged earlier this year, Trump, the White House and his campaign have played down the threat and refused to abide by basic public health guidelines — including those issued by his own administration — such as wearing masks in public and practicing social distancing.
“White House Operations collaborates with the Physician to the President and the White House Military Office to ensure all plans and procedures incorporate current CDC guidance and best practices for limiting COVID-19 exposure to the greatest extent possible both on complex and when the President is traveling,” Deere said.
Multiple White House staffers have tested positive for the virus, including Katie Miller, Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary, national security adviser Robert O'Brien, and one of the president's personal valets. Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is dating Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tested positive in South Dakota before an Independence Day fireworks show at Mount Rushmore.
Thoughts and prayers
When FLOTUS finds out she has to quarantine with realDonaldTrump... The most time they will have ever spent together COVID19 HopeHicks
I choose to wear a mask
A good reason to miss the next debate if he is in quarantine.
Wait, wasn’t Covid a hoax
tomjenkinsacts This will be great practice for solitary confinement.
But he said the virus affects virtually nothing...
Trump is a super spreader!
Good. I hope he dies. I know that is an awful thing to say, but he is an awful awful man. Part of me thinks his wife just has Stockholm syndrome, so she can live. LOL
I think his team told her not to come because she doesn’t show enough affection towards him on tv and she looks uncomfortable around Trump🤣🤣🤣
