Journalists mocked and attacked President Donald Trump following the news late on Thursday night that he was diagnosed COVID-19 along with first lady Melania Trump.
“This evening I received confirmation that both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” White House physician Dr. Sean Conley <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-trump-first-lady-test-positive-for-coronavirus">said</a> in a statement. “The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence.”
“The White House medical team and I will maintain a vigilant watch, and I appreciate the support provided by some of our country’s greatest medical professions and institutions,” the statement continued. “Rest assured I expect the President to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering, and I will keep you updated on any future developments.”
Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin tweeted: &#8220;He should resign immediately.&#8221;

Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich tweeted: &#8220;Timely reminder that on debate night, members of Trump family and Trump administration did not wear masks, which were required by the Cleveland Clinic. A doctor approached the Trump guests, offering masks and reminding them to put one on – but nobody did.&#8221;

Journalist Cori Coffin tweeted: &#8220;After walking in, FLOTUS &amp; rest of Trump family did not wear a mask during the indoor debate Tuesday night, potentially exposing anyone in contact or nearby. We know the virus travels farther when yelling, meaning Trump likely exposed Biden and Chris Wallace too.&#8221;

Liberal lawyer and author Seth Abramson tweeted: &#8220;The president has spent seven months making people who have COVID-19 feel wholly alone and unsupported, so I do struggle with him now having it and immediately saying that we&#8217;re in this &#8216;TOGETHER&#8217; It shouldn&#8217;t have taken him *personally* getting sick for this sentiment to emerge.&#8221;
