You’ve likely heard by now that Donald Trump tested positive for coronavirus yesterday evening and is experiencing “mild symptoms,” according to the White House.
You may have also heard that he attended a fundraiser at his New Jersey golf club even after he knew he had been exposed to the virus and was showing early symptoms of COVID-19.
Now, people on Twitter have been re-sharing a clip from Tuesday night’s debate in which Trump openly mocked Biden for wearing a mask on the campaign trail.
“He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I’ve ever seen,” Trump said.
How about we take this to the next level?

“I don't wear masks like him (Biden). Every time you see him, he's got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away and he shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen." – Donald Trump at Tuesday’s debate pic.twitter.com/0Sj6IR8eqP

48 hours later, Trump would be in quarantine.
NBC News reports:
The next five to 10 days will be critical for President Donald Trump after his positive test for Covid-19. Doctors warn the illness can suddenly worsen after several days of relatively mild symptoms.
That’s particularly true for patients with two of the biggest risk factors for serious and even life-threatening complications of the disease: obesity and older age. At 74 and with a body mass index of 30.5, qualifying him as obese, Trump fits both criteria.
Here’s how people on Twitter are responding the whole Trump mocking Biden for wearing a mask thing…
Thinking about the debate when Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden for holding socially distanced “rallies” and wearing a mask.

History will record that on the first night of Debates, Donald Trump *made fun* of Joe Biden for “wearing a mask everywhere he goes,” all but 2 days before both Trump and the First Lady contracted COVID-19.

Trump should listen to Joe Biden about wearing a mask.

He was literally spewing the virus as he was mocking Biden’s precautions.

Both Joe Biden and Jill Biden have tested negative for coronavirus. In a statement, the vice president wished Trump and his wife a “swift recovery” from the virus that has, so far, killed over 208,000 Americans.
“Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery,” Biden said. “We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family.”
GayEGO
Tee Hee! It backfired on Trump. He thought he didn’t have to wear a mask and maybe still does. He might say – “I don’t have to wear a mask, it was the people at my rallies who gave me the coronavirus, it is their fault!”.
Terrycloth
The disastrous debate , the being booed and yelled at lock him up ..lock him up at RBG memorial.must have really gotten under Donnies thin skin
Polls gave the debate to Biden .he is losing in large numbers .Donnie has told some 20,000 lies. Why would he tell the truth now ? Odd it’s close to nov 3rd now he has covid ? If it’s TRUE its karma for the Narracisst in cheif
Pii
I don’t believe it. That man will do and say anything to avoid a debate now.
hayesj
I certainly would not put it past the orange monster and his henchmen to make this whole thing up to try to get sympathy. Problem is, most of the world feels that he deserves exactly this. I know I do. I hope it’s really true and I hope he suffers bigly.
Liquid Silver
I kind of wondered the same thing. Or he’s trolling the left.
heath0043
I thought the same thing but can he really stay away from all the adoration he gets from his rallies? He has held them the whole length of his presidency. And the fact that he is the healthiest president in history…lol.
ShowMeGuy
When I first heard the news, I figured the same thing. Fake a covid infection and take a “vacation” to the hospital just to avoid a debate. Classic Trump.
MISTERJETT
i heard someone say it could all be another one of his lies trying to get peoples sympathy because he did so badly in the debates the other night. actually, i wouldn’t put that past him. that could very well be what he’s doing. it sounds like something he would do.
vinnieboiblue
I second that. He is a conniving manipulator, who uses events to his advantage.
olfwob
First i thought so too, but he couldn`t stick for 2 weeks to the story.
vinnieboiblue
Another ironic moment for Trump. His many failing casinos in the past along with his businesses. With this virus he played against the odds by not wearing masks when he should have. Like his casinos the odds catch up. Since he is obese, he could get hit hard by this virus. Add his age to it and it could reek damage on his heart.

ALMOST better than learning the lying Trump has tested positive for COVID is that it is now public knowledge and being well reported that he is OBESE and a fat ass! I bet that’s even more frustrating to him… makes me smile all the more. My thoughts and prayers are with him and Melania (notice I didn’t say what my thoughts and prayers are about).
Heywood Jablowme
I wonder how Melania got infected. Whenever Dotard gets within six feet of her, she usually slaps him away.
M K
And I’m sure for him being in isolation for 10-14 days with Melania will be the worst part of the infection for him and her. It’s also no surprise that Baron has tested negative… since he never comes into contact with the parents-of-the-year.
ElPillo
There you have it, touching, even briefly, very Very very dirty surfaces
bachy
I thought it was very big of Joe and Jill Biden to offer their sympathies, especially after Trump’s televised, 1.5 hr spittle-flecked tantrum in Joe’s presence (which was for some reason called a “debate”).
Liquid Silver
Kind words, like prayers, cost nothing. And I’m sure Joe, like myself, has written words like those with the most crap-eating grin on his face imaginable. 🙂
Kangol2
And don’t forget, Don the Con’s administration didn’t alert Biden’s team that Covfefe had contracted Covid-19 as they should have; Biden had to learn from press reports. Biden is far more decent than the creature he’s running against.
WSnyder
At the time of me posting this comment, Trump has been ‘Radio Silent’ for 14 hours [not posting anything to Twitter or making any statements thru the WH Press Office, a record I think]. The WH has said he has ‘mild’ symptoms. Put together, I think Chief Justice John Roberts needs to be on stand-by.
Didn’t Trump say like 3 months ago he was taking Hydroxychloroquine? Well there goes that. Wonder if the WH Docs are going to give it to him now? [Doubtful]. I’d recommend they give him a bleach enema and they stick a UV light up his rear orifice. [Using the ‘Presidential Guidelines’ here].
Could this be an excuse to get out of the other Debates? Well, it would be a really stupid one, so anything is possible [but not likely]. I mean, it would be like wanting to avoid a meeting at work, one that your job hinges on, and telling your boss you’ll miss the meeting because you’ve been decapitated. Just. Not. Smart. It’s literally brought EVERYTHING that Trump was trying to sweep under the rug right back up in everyone’s face. The Pandemic is NOT under control, the most protected man in the world just got ‘it’. Masks ARE important because the main guy dissing them just got ‘it’. So as an excuse of COVID to avoid the Debates, well just Dumb.
Hopefully, the one GOOD thing out of this, is some people might take this sh*t seriously now and it will save a few lives in the process.

“I Really Don’t Care, Do U?”
No, Melania. I don’t.
mtrodetguy
Me neither.
Fname Optional Lname
If he really does have the virus and it’s not a distraction created for everyone to forget his temper tantrum at the debate the other night then he really must be crapping himself knowing that his brother died from complications due to COVID-19. I mean, that’s what people are saying, you hear people talking about it especially ya know, on the internet.
cuteguy
Google “Donald Trump The Simpson’s” and the results say it all. The Simpsons are the best predictor of Donald Chump.
peteinpa001
And what if this is another lie, and he doesn’t have it at all. Then he miraculously is cured in 5 days, and has no after effects. This will support his views that this Covid-19 is nothing to be worried about…., and all this hoopla about this virus is a lie, generated by the media….. Look out then….
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
One down and one to go. I am praying that Lindsey Graham tests positive for HIV instead of Covid but if I have to settle for just Covid then so be it. I always hoped that they not spend the rest of their lives not having been put in a position and forced to understand what its like to be sick and need insurance and get told about preexisting conditions, which would apply.
xanadude
Oh don’t worry, I’ll bet anything he doesn’t have it but will suddenly be magically “cured” by hrydocodone by next week
Durwood
As a president he’s a total arsehole, but as an obese 74 year old man contracting Covid 19 that could be problematic for him – nothing to celebrate…
Kangol2
I wish no ill on anyone. But you know it’s serious if they couldn’t just drive Don the Con to Walter Reed Military Hospital, and had to airlift him there. Clearly they want him in the hospital, under observation, as soon as possible.
I am no fan of Mike Pence, but Donny Two Scoops should have transferred power to Pence, who, like Pelosi, has tested negative, and could step in right now if needed.
All of Don the Con’s recent travels, his constant flouting of his own CDC’s rules on wearing masks and social distancing, and his espousing crackpot theories like this virus disappearing, drinking bleach and herd immunity, have caused so much damage, finally ensnaring him. Maybe this will prove to be a wake up call for Don the Con’s cultish supporters, though in truth I doubt it will.
missvamp
Betcha he doesn’t rely on those quack Dr’s he’s been touting to the press. I’m guessing he’s already called fauci, the CDC & experts @ who to save his sorry ass.
mtrodetguy
I’m wishing that Dumbald Tchump and Melancholy become gravely ill and suffer greatly. Karma. The most they’ll get from me is totts and pears. Not sorry.
Max
let’s see, Trump knew earlier this year the virus wasn’t good.
he spends from then to yesterday saying it is a hoax, it comes and goes, it’s under control, etc.
did he, in his own mind, fall for his own snake oil sales pitch? so much so that he forgot how bad it was and contracted it not doing the social distancing and mask wearing? he’s supposedly a germaphobe and yet he caught it.
ShowMeGuy
Maybe the covid can get credit for a presidential assassination. Now THAT would be some karmic justice.
trojanboy
Him and Melanomia. Jee they are such great guys. I really hope they can keep it up.

Biden accurately called trump a clown during the debate..
Now we know the identity of said clown, and it’s Bozo.
