Trump aide Hope Hicks has Covid - Update Trump Tests Positive

...and she travels with Trump.

Top Trump aide Hope Hicks tests positive for coronavirus after traveling with president to debate​

...Hicks, who has been known to spend a lot of time with Trump, had traveled with the president to the debate Tuesday night in Cleveland. She was seen not wearing a mask.

Trump, 74, himself rarely wears a mask and has mocked his Democratic rival, Joe Biden, 77, for often wearing face coverings.

The White House didn’t comment on reports that Hicks had tested positive, but a spokesman issued a statement about the administration’s Covid-19 protocols.

Seriously...he's been tempting fate for a long time now. I'm not hoping she gave it to him, but it wouldn't surprise me at this point either.

Proof of life? See nobody believes anything any more.

Dave, anyone?

Dave, anyone?

Silently and discreetly engineered by Pence, no doubt. Trumper supporter rallies, "Trump" appearances... re-election and then the denouement: Mikey pops out of a birthday cake on the western plaza of the US Capitol Building facing the National Mall and says "Swear me in, lads, the prez he's not feelin' too well [finally]."

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

This is literally a trend on Twitter now

People are concerned for the health of the Secret Service staff who drove with President Trump so he could wave to his supporters outside Walter Reed hospital where he’s being treated for COVID-19

That's what is trending in the politics section now. When was the last time the Secret Service were trending for concern of THEIR safety?

That's how asswards back this president is.

Exactly what I was tweeting about above.

Trump is a selfish asshole, willing to infect everyone around him for a photo op. Sorry but he deserves whatever he gets from this thing.

Bill Barr now self-quarantining, will be interesting to see how the dominoes fall over this coming week.

Interesting, it appears that his biggest risk was last Saturday at that event so if he hasn't tested positive yet he's nearly out of the woods by now.

That really is bizarre. It's either a pathetic need for adoration or a North Korea-type attempt to say, "See? Our leader is okay."

It’s either Kim Jong Un or Weekend at Bernie’s. The line is starting to blur.

Jesus H Christ. This president has lost his mind, exposing everyone in his circle like this is unbelievable.

Meanwhile if you were a lucky Secret Service guy, you're detailed to FLOTUS.

One thing is for certain, unless it's leaked we will not be getting a real status update on the president's condition. ALL news coming from the WH will be rosy and glowing no matter what.

The really lucky ones are detailed to the former presidents and Vice Presidents.

So I’m driving home, and because my favorite sports station was in one of their interminable commercial breaks, I tuned in Rush Limbaugh for a few minutes.

He was talking to some Trump fan who was apoplectic, absolutely beside himself, as to why Trump would do such a stupid thing as take that joy ride around Walter Reed. He wanted Rush to explain to him why Trump would do something so utterly stupid, knowing it would open him to criticism.

I have to admit to being amused by Trump’s fans being driven crazy by his idiotic antics. I’m glad it’s giving them hives. At the same time, it’s amazing to see how stick stone stupid they are by not recognizing that the man does idiotic things because he’s an idiot. They are so resistant to the idea that their adulation of him is undeserved. The answer is right there staring them in the face, but they don’t see it.

Rush, for his part, noted that what the guy was really worried about was all the negative media coverage at this engendered, and that Trump wasn’t wrong, it’s just that the media are a bunch of evil fear mongers.

Both of them were concerned about how this looked, not about how inappropriate this was or how this would affect the Secret Service agents.

They truly are in their own little world.
