When it comes to bad news, 2020 seems to be the year that can’t stop giving, and this past week delivered its share.
The worst news came early Friday morning when President Trump tweeted news he and the First Lady had tested positive for COVID 19, with the White House later sharing the president’s symptoms are “mild” and that the first couple is self-quarantining in the White House. Vice President Pence announced he and his wife have tested negative for COVID 19, but news reports indicate “contact tracing” is now underway focusing on anyone the president came in contact with this week at several political events, as well as folks around Washington, DC, including on Capitol Hill, who may have had contact with the Trump contacts.
Earlier in the week was the first televised debate between Trump and former Vice President Biden, which can only be likened to a playground slap fight.
