They obviously planted it. Why else would it only be republicans getting it all of a sudden.

"They want to kiss": Trump appears to blame troops and cops for spreading virus to his inner circle

President Donald Trump appeared to blame members of the military and law enforcement units for spreading COVID-19 to his inner circle in a Thursday interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity when he claimed that uniformed officials often want to "hug" and "kiss" members of his team out of gratitude for the "good job" the administration has done.

"You know, it's very hard, when you're with soldiers, when you're with airmen, when you're with Marines. And I'm with — and the police officers," the president said, not long after reports surfaced that top adviser Hope Hicks had contracted the virus. "I'm with them so much. And when they come over here, it's very hard to say, 'Stay back. Stay back.' It's a tough kind of a situation."

Trump, who the White House at one point claimed was being checked "multiple" times a day for COVID-19, told Hannity that he would undergo testing following Hicks' positive diagnosis. The president later disclosed in an early-morning tweet on Friday that he and the first lady had both tested positive and would quarantine for 14 days. (The diagnosis revelation became Trump's most "liked" and shared tweet, according to the Agence France-Press, accruing more than 1.2 million likes within an eight-hour span.)

"I just went for a test, and we'll see what happens. I mean, who knows?" Trump said to Hannity. "But you know her very well. She's fantastic, and she's done a great job."

The president then returned to the topic of troops and police.

"But it's very, very hard when you are with people from the military or law enforcement, and they come over to you, and they want to hug you. And they want to kiss you, because we really have done a good job for them," Trump added. "And you get close, and things happen. I was surprised to hear, with Hope. But she's a very warm person with them, and she — she knows there's a risk, but she is young."

The Atlantic published a bombshell exposé in early September detailing disparaging comments Trump had allegedly made in private about members of the military who were killed in the line of duty. While Trump had made similar remarks publicly, he ridiculed the anonymously-source report as "disgrace" and "a fake story."

Both The New York Times and The Washington Post pointed out that Trump appeared to be blaming soldiers and police for spreading the disease to his team. The Post's Aaron Blake observed that Trump's remarks to Hannity were "an odd way" to account for Hicks' diagnosis.

"However much military members and law enforcement appreciate what the Trump White House has done for them, are they really going up to Trump's low-profile senior counselor, who rarely speaks publicly, to hug her and try to kiss her?" he wrote.

"The Associated Press has both photos on its website and includes the above metadata about when the photos were captured. The one showing Trump wearing his jacket was created at 5:25 p.m. Saturday. The one without a jacket was created at 5:35 p.m. In other words, they were created 10 minutes apart.
Those times themselves may not be precisely accurate, given that they rely on the camera’s internal clock, which could be off or out of date. But that the photos appear to have been taken in close temporal proximity and probably at the end of the day suggests that they were more likely to be the result of a photo shoot than a spontaneous effort to document a president unencumbered by illness."

Design is suggestive of superhero graphic art because POTUS 45 has created a never before seen presidential mythos.
I predict, ages hence, myths will abound of President Donald J. Trump, akin to the Epic of Gilgamesh.

You simply don’t recover from corona this quickly. And it’s doubtful AF he wants to ‘get back to work’ as he doesn’t do any. And even at it’s kindest, if this is a face saving exercise, it’s an Utterly poorly planned one.

If you order a coin and he dies, it may be worth money one day.
