Donald Trump Jr. Infected by Coronavirus and in Isolation

Source: Bloomberg

President Donald Trump’s oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., tested positive for coronavirus infection earlier this week and is isolating, according to three people familiar with the matter.

A spokesman for Trump Jr. said in a statement he is asymptomatic for Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.

Trump Jr. adds to the dozens of people associated with the president who have been infected by the virus, including Trump himself. On Friday, Rudy Giuliani’s son Andrew Giuliani, who is a White House aide, announced on Twitter he had tested positive. In addition, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, Hannah McInnis, tested positive earlier this month, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Several of Pence’s aides have been infected, including his press secretary and chief of staff. Pence himself has not.

Yes, I bet every poor, wild, defenseless endangered animal is breathing a sigh of relief. Now if only Eric gets his guns taken away from him too. Hey boys, maybe now since you're feeling a little sick Daddy will start loving you.
God, I hate what these people have done to me. Five years ago I think I was a sympathetic, empathetic human being and these asshats have taken that away from me. Help me get it back Joe.

Good luck Junior. I heard you really hate your dad. What a shit sandwich life dealt all you kids. It’s not too late to tell him to stick it. You should’ve told him to f off and go on your own way a long time ago.

I wouldn’t wish this disease on anyone.

Also stop killing wild animals you piece of crap.

No reporters are not covered by HIPAA. That would be medical professionals treating the patient.

Disease or no. The stupidity, cluelessness and lack of self-awareness from the dump spawn deserves to be ignored in the public sphere forever. They would not be missed. Then again, the youngest still might have a chance, but having to grow up in that toxic environment probably doesn't equate to a bright future, particularly if the 'money' is gone.

hydroxychloroquine to the treatment plan. I never thought I would see so much insanity come out of a white house.
