Yes! Negative towards positive!

I am not proud of my response to this news, but f**k him. If ever someone “brought this on himself” It is this guy. Think of all the others he exposed after he knew he had been exposed.

I don’t believe it unless there is independent verification. Smells like campaign strategy — seeking sympathy. Or maybe he would use this excuse to bow out of the race to avoid a humiliating defeat.

I just pray Joe Biden is OK after sharing the debate stage with this a*hole.

It’s a Hoax, amiright? It’ll magically disappear.

I thought the hydroxychloroquine gave him immunity. Quick, does anyone have some bleach.

Sorry, but I can’t help myself. If anybody deserved being positive for COVID-19 (and nobody really does) it’s this guy.

Guess he’ll have to get a mail-in ballot for the election.

Just worried about Joe. I’m sure he’s being tested. We should hear a result by morning.

Heck of a way to get out of the next two debates. I don’t wish disease and death on anyone, but if there were ever a more appropriate host for SARS-CoV-2 than Trump I can’t imagine who it might be. That bastard is responsible for at least 3/4 of the Covid-19 casualties we’ve sustained through his intentional mismanagement.
