BREAKING NEWS:  In an unexpected October Surprise, COVID has come to The White House.  Donald and Melania Trump have both tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Breaking News
With only 32 days left until the 2020 presidential election, COVID-19 has caught up to Donald Trump.  He confirmed the diagnosis himself during an early Friday morning tweet.
.

On Thursday, the White House press pool announced that Trump senior advisor Hope Hicks had tested positive for COVID-19.  She has been in close proximity with Donald Trump, Mike Pence, and most of the senior West Wing staff all week.  Her diagnosis set off a red alarm inside The White House.

So, what are the potential dangers here?

Donald Trump traveled on Thursday to a New Jersey fundraiser AFTER knowing that his own senior aide was positive for the virus.  Surely those maskless attendees are now fearful for their health — as are all White House staff members, employees, and their families.

it is being reported that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany held a briefing with members of the press AFTER being in contact with Hope Hicks and after knowing of her positive diagnosis — prompting the White House press pool to go into panic mode.

Additionally, Mike Pence and Hope Hicks have each been in regular contact this week with new Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett, as well as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, and other high-level Republican powerhouses in government who would be involved in her confirmation.  So, it’s not a stretch to assume that the virus may have likely spread well beyond the Trump’s and The White House.

Since learning of the virus, Donald Trump has taken a cavalier attitude toward COVID-19.  First, he waved it off as a hoax.  Then, he said the virus would “magically go away” on its own.  Next, he encouraged his followers to ignore masks and other safeguards by calling them useless.  He even repeatedly mocked Joe Biden for always wearing a mask.  In fact, as recently as Tuesday’s presidential debate, Trump said sarcastically: “Every time you see him (Biden) he’s got a mask. Gimme a break!”

It appears those very words have come back to bite him in the butt.

Now that COVID has come to The White House, Donald Trump will be forced to make an immediate change.  He and Melania will need to go into immediate quarantine for at least the next 14 days.  He will be prevented from holding or attending any of the massive and maskless political rallies he loves so much (including the huge Wisconsin rally he planned for this weekend). His 2nd and/or future debates with Joe Biden may need to be postponed or canceled altogether.  If Mike Pence tests positive, his debate with Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris scheduled for next Wednesday will be canceled.

Joe Biden did not come in direct or even close contact with Donald Trump during Tuesday’s debate.  However, his team is expected to test him for the coronavirus on Friday out of extreme caution.

If Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett tests positive, her nomination will be postponed or possibly in jeopardy.  The same dangers are present for Mitch McConnell and others on Capitol Hill, who have now been exposed to the virus.  Since COVID plays no favorites, it’s impossible to know much damage the virus will yield throughout the Trump family, the White House, and the political seat of government in Washington.

Did Hope Hicks infect Donald and Melania Trump?  Did she and Trump contract the virus from another source and Hicks is merely the first within the West Wing to show symptoms?  Or, could it be that Donald Trump himself infected Hicks and possibly others?

Additionally, now that COVID has come to The White House, how will this news affect Trump’s MAGA supporters?  Will they continue to believe the virus is a hoax?  Will some follow Trump’s direction to take hydroxychloroquine or to inject bleach into their systems to avoid Trump’s fate?  Or, will they begin to trust and listen to medical experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci and finally join the rest of America in taking safety precautions?

“The end of the pandemic is in sight,” Trump said Thursday.  Clearly, those words couldn’t have been further from the truth.

“The end of the pandemic is in sight,” Trump said Thursday. Clearly, those words couldn’t have been further from the truth. – [….]- DJ

Clearly. And as usual, Trump knew that claim was a lie.   

I woke up at 5 am this morning, turned on my computer, got online for a few minutes and saw the breaking news. I quickly turned on my tv went to MSNBC and almost fell outta of my chair. And then almost immediately I thought to myself…it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that fool already knew he was infected at the time of that sh*tshow he orchestrated the other night but he had ordered his people to keep it quiet. 

If what’s being reported now on CNN is true – that this news was actually LEAKED to a reporter by someone in the White House, and THAT’s how it actually became public – then I may have been right.

So will this change the mind of any Trump voter?  

TAC Reader: 
If the last 5 years of non-sense and 200,000 DEAD didn’t convince one that the Orange Man is, in fact, bad, why would him getting a preventable disease do so? 
 
I don’t mean this to be combative, its just that needlessly exposing his staff, donors, and family to a contagion is only like 50th worst thing he’s done to the country. […]

Just checked CNN again and caught the reporting that many (if not most) White House staffers learned of the positive cases the same way WE did.

Through the news media.

Whoooo this is big news. Talk about karma winning. This must be for all the people who died because he called this thing a hoax. It is not a hoax anymore.

Mr.BD

I just heard the news Biden is negative. All that screaming Trump was doing at the debate the other night put a lot of people at risk including Biden. He should refuse to do any other debates even if Trump gets well from this.

I am one of those who does not believe this convenient testing positive! They both have it but Baron, Ivanka nor Jared have it? So they don’t see Baron daily? I call bullshit!

Saleem

Monique I thought that too. Now they are saying Sen. Mike Lee from Utah, RNC Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel, plus a few more White House staffers and a journalist with the press tested positive today. All of them were around 45 in the previous days so this is beginning to look like the real thing.

Truthiz1

Yep. It’s real. And White House staff are reportedly in a full blown panic!

So Mitch may have NO choice but to postpone the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Judge Barrett especially if the nominee also tests positive.

Schumer Calls for Supreme Court Hearing Delay after Trump’s Positive Coronavirus Test

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Dianne Feinstein, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, said Friday that the upcoming confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett must be postponed to allow Barrett and senators who were potentially exposed to the virus to be tested and isolate. 

Republican Senator Mike Lee, who serves on the Judiciary Committee, has tested positive as well, just two days after he met with in-person with Barrett.  

Schumer and Feinstein said in the statement that Lee’s illness underscored the importance of delaying the hearings. […] – National Review, 10-2-20

Hey Truth CNN said Barrett and her husband had Covid already this summer. She still has antibodies and they already checked her. She is negative.

Truthiz1

BD, I was just getting ready to read up on that over at Politico.

Thanks for the update.

And let me say this – as far as we know, she’s negative.

Trump’s clownery coming back to bite him is a cautionary tale for virus naysayers

While some are already trying to entertain mindless conspiracy theories suggesting that this diagnosis might not be real or that Trump might be trying to distract the American people — my advice would be to try using your head more and still keep wearing a mask and washing your hands. Whether he gets out of this in good health, the Trump campaign is impacted by this for sure.

There is a strong possibility of more COVID-19 positive cases affiliated with the Trump administration/campaign that may come out in the next few days. This will only get worse before it gets better. And for those who were in doubt about the pandemic that killed nearly a quarter of a million Americans, I pray that you don’t find out like the president. […] – The Grio, 10-2-20

The fact that Trump can’t run from, or hide from, or LIE his way out of THIS has got to be messing with his head in all kinds of unhealthy ways.

Forgive me for repeating this but it’s truly how I feel…..

Nothing but the Grace of God is saving Us. Nothing but the Grace of God.
