The Raccoon For the Win

I have a story about this:
As a White House reporter, you stand outside on what we call “Pebble Beach”— It’s a patio made of rocks. During the day you have to fight off squirrels 🐿. They will literally steal your lunch right in front of you. They show no mercy.

Like I said, raccoon invasion at the White House this morning is very 2020.

Quarantine at home, honey, do you know where I put that briefcase?

Trump infected the nuclear football guy.

He's a walking, huffing biological weapon created by his own ego and stupidity.

@ABC confirms a military aide responsible for carrying the 'nuclear football' tested positive over the weekend and traveled with the president last Thursday to New Jersey per @Santucci @KFaulders

GOP's Positive Campaign

Seriously though

Instead of a sympathy factor for Trump, there's been a stunning drop in his poll numbers

In two days of polling before Trump got COVID, the president trailed Biden by just a 46%-41% margin. In the three days of polling after the coronavirus diagnosis, Biden held a 55%-34% lead. That means Biden’s lead grew by a whopping 16 points from pre-COVID to post-COVID.

Top White House aide Stephen Miller tests positive for Covid-19

(CNN)Stephen Miller, a top aide to President Donald Trump, has tested positive for coronavirus, he said Tuesday.

"Over the last 5 days I have been working remotely and self-isolating, testing negative every day through yesterday. Today, I tested positive for COVID-19 and am in quarantine," Miller said in a statement.

He is the latest official caught up in an outbreak at the White House that has seen at least 10 others test positive.

Miller's wife, Katie Miller, is Vice President Mike Pence's communications director. She already had coronavirus several months ago and tested negative again on Tuesday morning. She traveled with Pence to Salt Lake City ahead of the vice presidential debate scheduled for Wednesday, but left the trip Tuesday out of an abundance of caution, per an official.
