Trump and the First Lady have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Trump is now a patient at the Walter Reed medical center; the First Lady is quarantined at the White House.  

During much of the past six months, Trump downplayed the pandemic, spewed misinformation and disinformation about the virus, refused to follow and undermined public health guidelines, refused to wear a mask, held large indoor gatherings where most attendees didn’t observe social distancing or wear masks, and then he mocked Joe Biden for wearing a mask. 

Meanwhile 209,000+ Americans have died from the virus. Now Trump and the First Lady are two of the 7.2+ million infected with the virus. It is difficult for have sympathy to Trump when he has shown no empathy for the victims of the pandemic and their families and friends. 

Karma’s a bitch.
