Trump Announces He’s Got COVID-19, Twitter Erupts

Trump covid-19

Today, US President, Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he and his wife contracted COVID-19 which is big news.

Trump is not the first leader to contract the disease. Brazil’s Bolsonaro and UK’s Boris also contacted the mask months ago. Trump’s announcement will have more exposure since he is the president of the United States and Americans are quite vocal on social platforms like Twitter. Additionally, the United States is still leading with the number of confirmed cases and deaths from the virus.

This bombshell came late at night for Americans but the tweet is on course to become one of the most retweeted and liked post for him. COVID-19 has been a persistent theme for the year and the US President contracting it a month to elections was bound to be huge news.

This announcement by Donald Trump lit Twitter up with a whole number of comments about his health. This ranged from relief to concern and others dismissing it as a tactic to win elections. Here are some of them.

This went dark pretty fast

The irony on this tweet

Trump on Tuesday: Joe looks so dumb in his big mask! Mask wearin Joe! I cough on my supporters all the time, we love it. Joe’s scared of a little coughing in his family’s faces. Big mask Joe, scared of germs!

Trump on Thursday: I got Covid lol

The conspiracy theories have started pouring in

Remember Biden was near Trump during the debate?

Trump supporters when they hear COVID-19 is not a hoax

Perfect karma in a tweet

Wishing harm, sickness or death on someone, even a bad person, is petty & small.

BUT: it is genuinely & extremely funny that Trump got COVID. It’s objectively funny. He downplayed it & mishandled it & thousands of people died. Now he has it. It’s funny!

The irony keeps coming up

Told you this will become political in some way

I DO NOT believe Trump or Melania have tested positive for Covid. I believe he wants to get out of debating Joe any more and he is looking for sympathy votes, the same way Reagan got some after he was shot.

Dr Fauci had to be dragged into this mess

Well well well

Trump is literally the first person to get covid and have people celebrate.

— mark normand (@marknorm) October 2, 2020

Someone had predicted this move by Trump last month

Trump’s October surprise will be the announcement of “his infection.” Fake, but quite dramatic. This twist will blow Biden off the screens, the “Trump COVID watch” dominating every minute of every day. Then, 14 days later, Trump will emerge, 100% cured by hydroxychloroquine.
