Trump announced he has COVID-19, so of course,Twitter descended into chaos
Whenever big news breaks, it tends to take over Twitter within minutes. Surprising nobody, the president of the United States announcing via tweet that he and the First Lady have contracted COVID-19 sent what seemed like every user on the Bird Site diving for their phones.
Trump's tweet came in the middle of the night on the East Coast, and there are unlikely to be many further developments until the morning — meaning that Twitter is obviously rife with speculation, conspiracy theories, and memes of various taste levels.
There's also no shortage of attempts to game out the next few weeks, as though literally anybody has any idea what happens when a sitting president contracts a potentially deadly virus 35 days out from a presidential election he's actively trying to undermine while behind in the polls.

And understandably — given the anger and grief across a nation that's been devastated by a catastrophically incompetent federal response to a pandemic and that president's months of downplaying its severity — a wave of schadenfreude that can probably be seen from space swept across the platform in minutes. It was chased by feebler calls for the very civility and generosity of spirit Trump himself has failed to display for the 208,000 Americans who have lost their lives to COVID so far.
And as always, there are the meta tweets about how bananas Twitter gets during these moments.
I know that we hate him and all for being what he is and what he does. But mocking and saying terrible things because he got the covid means we are no better than him. Be a human. Or as what melania said, be better.
ReplyDeleteTake a glass of bleach once a day and see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteWhy is this a BIG NEWS??? He deserves it! He called it a HOAX and REFUSED to wear a mask! Serves him well. . . move on.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to volunteer to join the test trial for the vaccine he claims will be ready by November.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he should try injecting some disinfectant. Wasn't that his advice!
ReplyDeleteno it wasn’t!
DeletePerfect opportunity to volunteer for the vaccine.
ReplyDeleteAnd the circus continues 🤡
ReplyDeleteWhy the surprise? He's been called-out for months because of his high-risk behaviour. It was never a matter of if, but when.
ReplyDeleteMan, he'll do anything not to have to debate again!!
ReplyDeleteGive him that vaccine that ready lol he will die

ReplyDeleteThe virus made a mistake and its going to regret

ReplyDeleteI think the onus is on them to prove it. This is a brilliant desperate attempt to garner the sympathy vote for a president who is bleeding support right now. He has nothing to lose.Because he has lied every day of this farce presidency, a healthy dose of skepticism is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteRIGHT

ReplyDeleteam sure Trump will get angrier at China now that he had covid
ReplyDeleteSimpson prediction mY come true

ReplyDeleteIt is what it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of garbage,he's doing this to avoid more debates and get sympathy votes,period,he will make a miraculous recovery and say it was a result of some fake vaccine,he will encourage people to take it and it will most probably turn out that he has shares in the company that developed it!!!!
ReplyDeletethat would be the craziest hoax ever, before the first debate there were Trump crazies saying Biden was going to do that to get out of the debate. I guess you never know but it sounds far fetched even for him
DeleteI smell shenanigans. And Putin.
ReplyDeleteI agree 💯 precent with Vicky..
