President Donald Trump announced shortly after midnight that he and First Lady Melania Trump had tested positive for coronavirus. (Tweet) The president said he and the First Lady will be going into their “quarantine and recovery process immediately.” The First Lady added in her own tweet that she and the president are “feeling good” and she has “postponed all upcoming engagements.” (Tweet) The news of Trump’s positive test came hours after it was earlier confirmed that his close aide Hope Hicks had tested positive for the virus earlier on Thursday after exhibiting symptoms during Trump’s trip to Duluth, Minnesota, for a rally on Wednesday night.

My reaction - I just sent the Trump campaign another donation. Do the same and vote in person.

The Lord is in control - whatever is happening here, may He have mercy on this great nation that has been ravaged by satanic attack and the evil of sinful men. I pray for revival in trust and obedience in Him. Lord, Protect this President whom You appointed, who is hardly a perfect man but has the strength and the will to confront the corruption and restore right priorities. Surely that comes from You. Forgive us who fail to speak out, for our fear of men. I pray in the name of Jesus that it is Your will to restore our land.

Isn’t the second debate, aka, mud fight (I loved it!) on the 15th?
Isn’t this perfect timing? Can’t see the President shirking his duties in the interim.
I look for him not to drop a stitch in his work days, but probably light up social media to the point he annihilates them!
Have some HCQ, our precious First Couple. God bless you.

I may be mistaken, but I thought I read late last spring that PDJT was already taking HCQ.

Because of the design of the tests, could very well be one of those many false positives. STill, he knows about Zpack, HCQ, and Zinc. Get well.

Most people who get it now, have very light symptoms - at least that is what I have seen in my area. I am praying for the Trumps as I do every day.

The addled guy in the basement will be fine but what did you expect when President Trump despite the dangers kept leading the country. Watch the hate from the left.

Perfect timing I think. They will both be fine and over it in a few days. The public will then see it's not the threat the fearmongering leftist media makes it out to be just before the election.
Meanwhile, Trump condemns white supremacists for the 87th time...

In addition to #9's comment about false positives (there are a lot!), many people who actually are positive don't ever show symptoms. You know about all the college students who tested positive, so that colleges closed up again? Do you know how many have died? ONE.

I agree with number 7. This gives our President Trump 2 weeks for prepare for the second debate with old black eyed Joe - black pupils indicative of meth or other amphetamine ingestion. It also gives POTUS time to tweet destruction on the peripheral players in the coup. All media is waiting on bated breath for his tweets but they are getting it wrong and are being used again, like in 2016 when they breathlessly covered his every rally saving him millions in commercial TV costs. Media never learns.

Serious question. What's the difference between Covid45 (which Trump says he has) and Covid19? I can't find a single answer w a cursory google search. Thanks in advance

Sorry but because of the lack of anything being honest, especially in the government, I'm going full frontal black helicopter and say I don't believe the test was a real positive. Since the deep state can help Hunter obtain and get away with illegally obtaining hundreds of millions via Ukraine and China, since the deep state is still being rewarded for the fake Carter Page FISA warrant leading to the fake Russia hoax, and on and on and on, would anyone really be surprised if this whole thing was purposely added to the big bag of deep state fun? It might be completely up and up but I'm not buying it being a real positive test, especially looking at the timing. (For Rio Lindans, I also hope that nothing happens to the president if in fact, it is a real positive test).

Um, it completely went over my head that Drudge used "Covid-45" as a reference to Trump, not a new strain of coronavirus. Oops. Fell for fake news, right there in my face. Sorry!

If anything more was still needed to energize America-loving patriots to work harder to re-elect this truly great Prsident, this is it. God truly works in wondrous ways. WE now must help him carry the load.

I have known several people first hand who tested positive and never showed any symptoms. Of those who do get sick, the vast majority recover, even if they feel like death warmed over for a while.
This is NOT the automatic death sentence that the economy crashing leftist scaremongers have been trying to convince us about for the last 6 months.
POTUS is a healthy and active man, especially for his age. The odds are greatly in his favor.
In the meantime, the haters in the party of death will have a difficult time hiding their glee over the news, and most are secretly (or openly) hoping for the worst for Trump. Such behavior will not endear them to the undecided voters out there.

A false positive does not necessarily mean you have the disease or symptoms.
Although, the timing for this is good. He needs rest up during the quarantine for the finale. After all, he is 74. I've been watching him and he looks overtaxed. I personally thought he looked tired and worn out during the debate. Perhaps, they can still do rallies remotely on a jumbo tron in various places. He can send in Air Force one with his family team and Diamond and Silk and do something clever. People will still come to show their support. Even more so now.

When horrible things happen, people show their character. President Reagon's conduct after he was shot made clear to our country how strong he was. Courage, and humor came through in everything he did. As Reagan was wheeled into emergency surgery, he told the surgical team, "I hope you're Republicans." Everyone laughed. Then the chief surgeon said, "Today, Mr President, we are all Republicans." And no one laughed.
Those days are gone. Democrats hate our President and will wish the worst for him. Soon they will be capering like demented monkeys, rejoicing at this news. They have no character. Hopefully the country will see that and vote accordingly.
In his first term, President Trump has had to overcome outrageous slings and arrows: deep state conspiracies, a pathological press, betrayal by non-entities in his own party, impeachment by deranged Democrats, world-wrecking hysteria over a manageable virus, and sedition in the streets.
Now, in the final weeks of a close re-election race, he contracts that virus. It's too much. I can barely stand it, and none of it is happening to me. But if President Trump can overcome even this, I hope our country will see that and vote accordingly.
In the meantime, good health and Godspeed to our President and First Lady.

It's October, surprise!! I am not suggesting anything contrived, but this is SO 2020, isn't it? I halfway expected Biden to announce he had Covid before the first debate. I didn't even consider this possibility. It truly is in God's hands, we will continue to pray.

Prayers for President and Mrs. Trump's full and complete recovery. Striking that so many conservatives have dealt with major health and life and death issues this year - Rush Limbaugh, Dan Bongino, Lloyd Marcus, Herman Cain, with Marcus and Cain dying. The devil is definitely at work in our nation, but God is greater.

So .. I put on my baseball hat with the aluminum foil in it and this is what I picked up
Some Demo-rat operative with the Chinese flu deliberately got close to Ms. Hicks and breathed on her, giving her COVID. They knew she often worked close with Trump and it was just a question of time! Sure enough it worked!
Now Biden can say the rest of the debates need to be cancelled!

Think of this as a test. Will our resolve to put TRUMP back in the WH for his second term be broken? Dems certainly hope so and they will pull out all stops to break our resolve and charge their base! Stand Pat with the President and the Second Lady.

Asymptomatic. I wonder if the President's proactive use of HCQ has kept them asymtomatic.
When he beats the snot out of covid 19 it will just be another accomplishment to add to his list. And another reason to vote for him. Hiding in the basement like Sloppy Joe or taking proactive HCQ like the a stable genius. Let the voters see it.

I'm with #24. A false positive for Trump gets Biden out of the future debates without looking like the obvious setup it would have if they generated one for Biden. Praying for Trump anyway and I am not a religious man.

I'm sure the first family will take hydroxtchloroquine and fight off the positive test...thank God there are numerous therapeutics they can count on....ironic isn't it that those therapeutics are available because of the president's fast action...

#4,#5,#6 – Indeed! “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” (1 Timothy 2:1-2) “if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Prayed for our dear President Trump and Melania. Sent campaign contribution too.
Time for fireside chats from the White House residence explaining the dangers of Globalism and anti-Americanism.
All elected Republicans will have to step up to the plate and have local rallies on the Trump governance program. Full support for a written Trumpian unified program for America from all elected republicans. Our champion was all alone, and lifting the GOP.
Substitute Romney’s Niece, who is also infected, with Corey Lewandski.

I hope they have considered ivermection, an anti-parasite medicine. It is very common for people and for a lot of animals too. Doctors have been having great success with it actually killing the virus in as little as 48 hours or less. I don't see many reports on it, so it must work great!

Beautiful, #4/5
As usual here, so many thoughtful, informative, funny and good comments.
When watching the Tuesday night rally, President Trump stopped at one point and remarked about how cold it was. I realize that it is cold up in MN. But it struck me, i guess because i can not remember his ever saying anything about the cold, in that way, anyway, in a way that alerted me to some trouble. It crossed my mind that he could have gotten a chill. Happened to me once a long time ago and within 5 hours or so i was really sick with a pneumonia-like illness. I'm wondering if he spiked a fever.
All i can say is I felt a little worried. We pray always for our President's safety and well-being, and VP Pence. (you-know-who is next in line ---horrors).

Any prayers from Pelosi, Schumer, Dem's/Progressive's, celebrities for President Trump, the first lady, Ms. Hicks, the RNC chair and other republican/conservatives shall be taken with a grain of salt. They are not heartfelt, they are evil wishes from evil people. God will have surprises for those evil liberals. Can't wait until after Nov. 3rd. My prayers are with all that have contracted the Wuhan Corona Virus that has a 99.5% recovery rate.

Just watched Trump leaving the White House and get in Marine One. He looked like fine. The trip to Walter Reed is just precautionary. Rather have him there, than not. All the traveling probably affected his immune system.
