By now you've heard that President Trump and first lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the coronavirus. The president shared the news just a few hours after we got word that one of his top aides, Hope Hicks, had tested positive. Most folks are wishing the pair well, or saying prayers for them before they go to sleep tonight. President Trump is a high-risk group for COVID hospitalization, given his age and weight. But, as you can probably (sadly) expect, his critics are either smirking, or outright celebrating the scary diagnosis.
"I hope nothing but the worst for him," one Twitter user wrote.
"He deserves all that comes to him," said another.
He downplayed it and said it is what it is. I hope nothing but the worst for him.— Morehouse (@art_morehouse) October 2, 2020
I wish him nothing. Shame on him and shame on anyone that thinks he’s owed any mercy. He’s responsible for so much damage. He deserves all that comes to him.— Drew Zimmerman (@wdzimmy) October 2, 2020
Student gun control activist Cameron Kasky posted an Instagram video of himself laughing at the diagnosis. And there's apparently a whole thread of Tik Tokers who are sharing their own bliss.

See below for some more outrageous responses, including those who suggested that the president had it coming.
The president of the United States is arguably the most protected person in the world. Guarded by the best security, treated by the best doctors. He lives an insulated existence. That Donald Trump contracted this virus is a testament not to its strength, but to his carelessness.— Olivia Nuzzi (@Olivianuzzi) October 2, 2020
This COVID test is the only positive thing Trump has ever done.— Charlotte Clymer ?????? (@cmclymer) October 2, 2020
I don't think his story is going to have a happy ending.— Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson) October 2, 2020
A White House reporter then asked this "serious" question.
Serious question — Will POTUS call in to Fox & Friends tomorrow to calm the markets, and, everything else? #COVID19 #Trump— Mike Valerio (@MikevWUSA) October 2, 2020
Now, because I refuse to believe that all humanity is lost, here are the responses from a few of Trump's loudest and most prominent critics that surprised me.
Best wishes to President Trump and the First Lady. Whatever one thinks of his policies, I hope we can be civil, avoid snark, seek lessons and wish them both a swift recovery.— Nicholas Kristof (@NickKristof) October 2, 2020
God bless the president and the first lady. If you pray, please pray for their speedy and complete recovery — and for everyone infected, everywhere.
This virus is horrific and merciless — no one would wish its wrath on anyone.
We must get its spread under control. Enough.— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) October 2, 2020
Get well soon, Mr. President and Melania.
“Yes, yes... my Leftwing scum... embrace the hatred...”
They should be worried about their own candidate who may now have it
I would BET that he got COVID from a DEMOCRAT at the DEBATE!!!
I pray that God will turn the hearts of the haters. Perhaps we are seeing evidence that He has done so in some cases already. It’s encouraging to see some of Trump’s critics responding with decency and humanity.
Rabbi Nachman of Breslov said that people in the habit of judging others harshly in this life will eventually in the next world see a film of their own life and not recognize themselves, and judge themselves harshly as is their habit. The punishment that they decree will be carried out on themselves.
To be fair-this place would melt down with joy if Biden or Pelosi were to test positive and theres no two ways about it. The hypocrisy here is stunning. Lets not pretend people here wouldnt behave like animals-because you know they would and you can almost name them.
Ive never heard the media blame COVID victims until President tested positive. Now if you get COVID it is your fault. Interesting.
I gotta admit I was pleasantly surprised at Rachel Maddow....perhaps there is hope for humanity!!!!
You are probably right although I don’t think it would be anythink near what we can expect from liberals....it just would not be!!!
When a leftist dies there is some glee but there is also some class and dignity as well. The dancing on a grave ratio is heavily weighted to leftists. Same with the level of profanity and a number of other things.
Assuredly. I don’t pretend to hold any moral high ground when it comes to wishing death on my enemies.
have they asked whether Joey B has been tested? he was w/Potus on Tuesday.
No disagreement there.
“forgive my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me”
...a nagging reminder to keep my heart above my discontent.
The likeness of his severed, bloody head on the desk in the oval office would be better than Joe Biden
Joe
this is a big fn deal man (to Barack)

We came, we saw, he died
Deplorables

Biden.
A POS in his own right.
47 years? Probably time for term limits.

Flush him citizens/patriots.
Our toilet stinks.
Clean the toilet.
I too am pleasantly surprised by Rachel Maddow’s response. Perhaps some good will become of it.
And I’ll bet half these ass holes have a “Hate Has No Home Here” sign.
Typhoid joey b may be a super spreader.
He was probably dosed to infect the president.
/s
Despite being in good health (for a guy his age) the President's age does work against him.
