President Donald Trump reacted to the news on Sunday that Sen. Mitt Romney was currently isolated after spending time with Sen. Rand Paul who tested positive for the virus.

“Romney’s in isolation?” Trump asked. “Gee, that’s too bad.”

When the reporter asked if the president was using a sarcastic tone, the president replied, “None whatsoever.”

Romney’s office said Sunday the senator would self-quarantine after learning that Sen. Rand Paul had tested positive for the virus, noting that he had spent time with Paul and that the attending physician ordered him not to vote on the Senate floor.

One less Schumer vote.

They should have asked about the None Whatsoever comment and then Trump would say of course that was sarcastic

[Bigg Red]

Well said.

[For someone who’s supposedly not politically correct Trump’s being kind of a wuss. ]

We need that Senate majority to confirm judges. Mike Lee, Rand Paul and Mitt Romney being in quarantine will bring the Trump agenda to a screeching halt.

CNN is already attacking Trump for this. I watched the video, and to my ear, Trump was just being Trump, not sarcastic.

[cloudmountain]

Trump loathes Romney.

"I have to say Trump seemed to smirk. It was kind of obvious and it could get play and it could hurt him. A very bad optic the reporter followed up which actually helped Trump but it was there."

Hmmm... Not sure what universe you were in when seeing this... We, although sober and watching, completely missed the slightest hint of a smirk...

Nice try...

What are you saying? You think our elected officials - even the President - wants Romeny dead? Are you nuts? This isn’t some third world commie hellhole where people are murdered for a difference of opinion. We’re NOT Antifa.

Is having multiple plastic surgeries an underlying condition?

Last I checked, neither is Ginsberg or the wise Latina

I don't know but I hope not.

I do know he'll use the opportunity as a wink-wink nudge-nudge to his base.

I'm just a little surprised that such a straight talker would backtrack like this.

Romney wants to quarantine himself so he doesn’t have to vote with the President/Pubs policies without looking like the prick he really is by siding with the Dems on crucial votes during this Corona virus crisis. Now he’s got cover by hiding behind the quarantine curtain and thus not having to overtly side with the Dems in order to thwart any vote the President and his fellow Pubs want. May the virus be with him so that it isn’t just an act.

Not to worry, I’m sure all the old worn out demonrats have enough anti-malaria drugs, and HIV drugs, that are showing remarkable results against the China Flu Virus to ward off any infection they might develop. The may even share some with Ginsburg.
