Trump Aide Hope Hicks Tests Positive for Coronavirus Infection

[Ellipsis]

Source: Bloomberg

snip:


Hicks traveled with Trump to his debate with Biden on Tuesday and to a Minnesota rally on Wednesday. Trump’s entourage entered the debate hall without face coverings, or removed them as they sat down, and refused an offer of masks from a doctor at the Cleveland Clinic, which was co-hosting the event.

Biden’s guests wore masks.

Hicks was seen on Tuesday riding maskless in a staff van with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, campaign adviser Jason Miller and others.

When they returned to Washington on Tuesday, Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella as they exited Air Force One in the rain. Miller’s wife, Katie Miller -- Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary -- recovered from Covid-19 earlier this year.

1. Does she still steampress his pants?

Asking for a friend.

[Cha]

15. & here's the tweet..

[CaptYossarian]

39. While he's wearing them.

[msongs]

2. thoughts and prayers. trump should be a role model and console her closely and often nt

[Doodley]

3. I hope she coughed in Trump's face.

[CaptYossarian]

40. It was his lap.

If that coughs, it's not a hoax.

[dalton99a]

4. So there is hope

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. OOPS!!!!

COVID is getting closer to Trump!

Hope Hicks exposed the rest of them to it I am assume. Those who already had it can become re-infected I understand.

Karma's turn to work her magic and make these people realize that this virus is nothing to laugh at. Even Trump said back in February tht it "was airborne and deadly."

[DesertRat]

6. so will Donny self-quarantine?

[Ellipsis]

8. It would get him out of the debates

[oldsoftie]

19. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

[Fiendish Thingy]

7. I hope that she gave Trump a big encouraging hug before his speech yesterday. Nt

[DesertRat]

9. No masks

[Cha]

13. Reaping what she sows.. wonder if she regrets

not wearing a mask on the plane?

TY for tweet, DR.. Rt.

[58Sunliner]

10. These people would be happy to infect Joe. Disgusting fuc**rs.

[still_one]

33. No doubt, but Joe and Jill not only wore masks, they kept social distance from the trump trash

so hopefully that mitigated any chance

[58Sunliner]

37. I can only hope, but the grifters did not wear any and were traveling together.

That is a serious risk in an indoor facility. Not one, but multiple people associated with HH traveled in an airplane which is ideal for spreading an airborne illness.

[NJCher]

75. airline travel risk

sorry I can't quote the study but in the last few days I heard that on an airline with people wearing masks, the chances of getting Covid are 40%. Imagine what it is for people not wearing masks.

I researched this because a relative wanted to come see me and would have to travel by air. Needless to say, we nixed that plan.

[58Sunliner]

76. Thanks for the info-I considered air travel, but was afraid. That is a scary statistic.

[Cha]

11. Is she an Anti-Masker?.. Oh never mind the answer is

in the OP.. Reaping what she sows..

Hicks was seen on Tuesday riding maskless in a staff van with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, campaign adviser Jason Miller and others.

When they returned to Washington on Tuesday, Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella as they exited Air Force One in the rain. Miller’s wife, Katie Miller -- Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary -- recovered from Covid-19 earlier this year.

[peacebuzzard]

12. It is what it is.

I heard they get tested daily in the WH

[calguy]

14. Many people have said.....

She shares bodily fluids with the president.

[spike jones]

20. Some say Melania pays her to to that. n/t

[CaptYossarian]

42. As Falwell watches.

[still_one]

35. ............

[Grokenstein]

16. Buh buh buh it affects virtually nobody!!

Golly, I hope she doesn't die or have lifelong organ problems!!

[Lonestarblue]

17. Trump is long overdue for a nasty case of the virus.

I suspect, though, that he has had transfusions of antibodies to protect himself. I keep hoping! No one deserves the virus more than Trump.

[Mike Nelson]

18. Yikes!

... now, who will steam his pants?

[BumRushDaShow]

21. "Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella"

No comment because the comment can easily be guessable.

[klook]

22. So a half-inch of makeup and long fake eyelashes are no defense.

Perhaps the CDC can put out an announcement to that effect.

[yankeepants]

25. Was she catering on AF-1 ?

[jmbar2]

32. Did Trump draw her eyebrows with his sharpies?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[truthisfreedom]

23. You know, some people are super-spreaders.

Hopes and prayers, hope, hopes and prayers.

[CaptYossarian]

44. No...I just can't go there.

[Jirel]

24. Get him, Hope!

Share the love!

[ashredux]

26. Karma is a Bitch

[Blue Owl]

27. She's a super steamer

n/t

[MLAA]

29. Perfect description 🙂

[Illumination]

28. HOPEing that she will spread the love to Trump & his team!...

[BlueWavePsych]

30. Proximity, rain, shared umbrella ... odds are good.

When they returned to Washington on Tuesday, Stephen Miller and Hicks were seen sharing an umbrella as they exited Air Force One in the rain.

Incubation underway?

[yaesu]

31. best news I've heard all day. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

34. I "hope" she shared sweaty breath and swapped spit with all of them. Here's Hoping!

[FailureToCommunicate]

36. Impossible. I heard the Press say that only old people with heart conditions get covid.

Must be a fake results.

( I also join those who hope Ms Hope mingled with senior people while on Air Force One)

[displacedtexan]

38. The Mooch (Scaramucci) said Hope does Trump's hair sometimes.

He said Trump usually does his own hair because he wants it done a certain way, but Hope does it sometimes.

[SergeStorms]

49. White House Barbie....

Ivanka, says it takes a hairdresser over an hour to do that ridiculous crap atop his head. What a waste of time, just to appease the ego of a man whose ego can't be appeased.

[displacedtexan]

52. I read somewhere in '15 or '16 that a Trump had a personal hair guy in Trump Tower.

The article said the hair guy had an apartment in TT and was paid $175k per year to do the do. But a Scaramucci said Tuesday night or Wednesday night that Trump does it himself most of the time, with a Hope helping out when needed.

[Dopers_Greed]

41. Thoughts and prayers

[TeamPooka]

43. God loves irony and Karma has everyone's home address

[shelshaw]

45. Hoax Hicks!

[DallasNE]

46. Does This Mean That Trump Needs To Go Into Quarantine?

If not, why not?

[LisaL]

47. He certainly should as he was apparently in close contact with her.

I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be in quarantine. And the rest of his posse should be too, if they were in close contact with Hope.

[SergeStorms]

48. If Hope has it....

just about every male in the White House now has it. She's on her third lap of being passed around I think. Just telling it like it is. We've all heard the White House gossip.

[BlueNProud]

51. Even Wilbur Ross!

[riversedge]

50. Stephen Miller, campaign adviser Jason Miller and others............

Hicks was seen on Tuesday riding maskless in a staff van with White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, campaign adviser Jason Miller and others................. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-02/trump-aide-hope-hicks-tests-positive-for-coronavirus-infection?utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_content=business

[ResistantAmerican17]

54. But it doesn't affect reptiles so ....

[speaknow]

53. Why would anybody

Believe this story, prove it. Now playing
the sympathy game. How can one believe
a bunch of liar's.
Just like those ballots found with his name
on them. Next year you'll dind it
was pre staged. If one remembers they
say /dem's do mail in ballots way more
so why only that guys name on them and
found in a Re=puke voter county, total BS.

[Aerator]

55. Agree

I believe this is something to change the subject of all the failures this week.

[flibbitygiblets]

56. That's gonna steam someone's pants

[LogicFirst]

57. The Devil is immune.

But his minions are not.

[LogicFirst]

58. The Devil is immune.

But his minions are not.

[torius]

59. She's blaming "hugs

and kisses” from “military and law enforcement”... said she can’t say no ...

[Totally Tunsie]

60. Why do I sense Chump will use this as an excuse for his outrageous

performance on Tuesday night? Should he test positive, that'll be the first thing they claim...that he was feeling the early effects, but didn't want to disappoint his voters, yada yada yada.

No love for Hope Hicks, but if she had to travel with both Stephen Miller and Jason Miller, she's already paying a penalty for her service - LOL.

[abakan]

61. Am I supposed to care about her?

Because I don't and I'm hoping she passed it on to her boss.

[Ellipsis]

62. Apparently she is very ill.

[durablend]

63. How do you test positive for a hoax?

[Martin Eden]

64. No one deserves to catch COVID more than Hair Twitler

It would prove that karma is real.

[gab13by13]

65. Trump should immediately begin taking

massive doses of hydrocloroxidine.

[Bayard]

66. Brian Williams just reported that the trumps are quarantining

And being tested. Does this mean no rallies or debates?

[LeftInTX]

74. Yay! No rallies for a week or so!

[AlexSFCA]

67. YES!

I always love to see karma in the works. I pray for trump to catch the virus too! It is the most humane wish, second only to wishing his death (which I do not). Why? Because disabling him would save so many lives! Hope Hacks - way to go, girl! How intimate they might be?

Joe steered clear of trumps and will continue to do so. I am not worried. I am so glad his wife wore a mask, it is very polite, I would hate to see her smiling looking at trumps. Thank you Hope, you give us hope.

[generalbetrayus]

68. Trump says he and Melanoma will begin self-quarantine.

[James48]

69. Best wishes and get well soon!

You know he’s only going into quarantine so that he doesn’t have to debate any more.

Tots and pears, Mr. President*.

I seriously hope the nurses short sheet his bed and the doctors are not gentle with his intubation. Is it bad to think like that?

[LudwigPastorius]

70. "Hicks was seen on Tuesday riding maskless in a staff van with...Stephen Miller"

(I know I shouldn't have posted that, but what the heck? I'm probably already going to hell.)

[flibbitygiblets]

72. Wow. October is getting off to a great start!

[LeftInTX]

73. Miller's wife had it in May.

I would not be surprised if Miller also tested positive. Miller's wife is Mike Pence's press secretary

[UCmeNdc]

71. Trump is incompetent!

This proves once again that Trump is incompetent. He has been telling the public Coronavirus is under control. Yet his own government is being infected by it. Trump is incompetent.
