COVID-19 has hit the White House! After Trump revealed he and his wife tested positive for Coronavirus, he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Meanwhile, several Trump associates and senators have now tested positive for COVID-19. Details inside…
The White House is feeling the wrath of the Coronavirus pandemic, months after Trump called the virus a “hoax.” Just hours after White House Senior Advisor Hope Hicks revealed she had tested positive for Covid-19, the current President and First Lady revealed they tested positive as well.
Trump made the announcement on his Twitter account minutes before 1AM Friday. Yesterday evening, he was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he will spend "the next few days." It’s reported he had a fever, appeared “tired,” and sounded hoarse, according to people who interacted with him.
Last night, he thanked everyone for the well wishes:
Going welI, I think! Thank you to all. LOVE!!!

Like true presidential royalty, forever POTUS Barack Obama and forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama wished Trump and his wife a speedy recovery:
Michelle and I hope that the President, First Lady, and all those affected by the coronavirus around the country are getting the care they need and are on the path to a speedy recovery.

Trump is 74-years-old and weighs 244 pounds, which creates a greater chance of him getting complications from COVID-19.
According to a former White House physician, Trump is taking experimental Coronavirus drugs Remdesivir and Regeneron to fight the virus.
"The two of those in combination should help clear the virus out of his body much sooner than his body could do it on its own," Dr. Ronny Jackson told "Fox & Friends Weekend” this morning.
Of course. Now, he’ll come back and say “THIS is what cured me and here’s the vaccine I helped create.” We KNOW it’s coming.
This morning, several Trump aides and a few Republican senators have tested positive for the virus. White House counselor Kellyanne Conway and Trump’s campaign manager Bill Stepien have both tested positive.
Two Republican senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee have also tested positive days after attending a White House event where Trump nominated Judge Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. Rep. senators Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina received positive tests and that could potentially jeopardize the GOP’s dream of getting Barrett to the Supreme Court. Hmph.
Also, a third Rep. senator, who did not attend the nomination event, has tested positive. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin revealed he has tested positive. If these three senators remain out this month, it will definitely prevent Barrett from making her way to the Supreme Court until they return.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted the SCOTUS proceedings should be delayed:
Two Senate Judiciary Committee members tested positive for COVID-19 today. We don't know when we'll know just how many people have been infected. The Senate cannot safely proceed on the Supreme Court nomination. We must focus on containing this virus to protect members and staff.

Alice Marie Johnson – the grandmother Trump pardoned who had served two decades in prison for a nonviolent drug offense – flew on Air Force One this past Tuesday to attend the first 2020 presidential debate between Trump & former Vice President Joe Biden.
She got tested and she revealed last night her test came back negative:
Thank you for all of the well wishes and prayers, I tested NEGATIVE!!! To God be the Glory!!!

On Wednesday, it was announced Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, tested positive for the Coronavirus. She attended the SCOTUS event at the White House last weekend.
Meanwhile, former New Jersey Gov Chris Christie said he is awaiting the results of his Coronavirus test after helping the president prepare for Tuesday's debate:
I want to thank all who have called and texted in the last few hours to check on my health. I feel fine and have no symptoms. I was last tested for COVID on Tuesday (it was neg) and was tested this morning. No results until tomorrow. I will let you know the results from here.

Social media has been in a frenzy since Trump announced his diagnosis. Some people have wished death on Trump and that caused Twitter to enforce their company’s rules. However, people are confused why Twitter didn’t have this same energy when President Barack Obama was receiving death threats on a daily.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib tweeted in response of Twitter enforcing their rules, suggesting the platform ignored them when they shared they were receiving death threats.
Please DM me. https://t.co/N2Bjt6VVvP

Seriously though, this is messed up. The death threats towards us should have been taking more seriously by @TwitterComms https://t.co/IOS7s2n1wx

Also…
Before Trump announced he tested positive and after we learned Hope Hicks tested positive, the former reality TV show host spoke to FOX News host Sean Hannity Thursday evening. During their conversation, Trump allegedly condemned White Supremacy.
"Let me be clear again -- I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud Boys,” he said.
He said he doesn’t know much about the hate group Proud Boys, but he’s against what they do. If that’s the case, why not just say that during the debate? Oh.
This are about to get REALLY interesting….
