Outgoing President Donald Trump’s namesake son Don Jr. gave the nation a reason to cheer by testing positive for the coronavirus after repeatedly ignoring safety guidelines and downplaying the pandemic, which has killed more than 250,000 Americans.
Earlier this year, Don Jr’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle tested positive for the coronavirus. His father tested positive for it in October, as did several members of the Trump administration and campaign.
It was only a matter of time before Don Jr. contracted it, and now he has done so according to multiple reports and a statement from Junior’s own representative.
News: Don Jr, the president’s son, has tested positive for coronavirus. He escaped the virus when people around him got infected, including his girlfriend Kimberly, but now has it, per multiple sources.

Trump minion Richard Grenell responded by lashing out at the media and accusing them of violating medical privacy laws.
Reporters need to stop announcing protected health information. This is a violation of HIPAA rules. https://t.co/RGckMdo1CI

NBC News reporter Josh Lederman fired back and set him straight.
Also, if it violates his privacy, why did you retweet it to your ~700k followers?

Needless to say, Twitter users were quite amused by Don Jr’s predicament and had no sympathy for him.
I’ve never “liked” anything faster on twitter than when I saw this tweet.

And yet, Trump still refuses to take this virus seriously even as it explodes across the United States ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday. The Trumps are not only monsters, they are mass murderers who absolutely do not deserve any sympathy. As Trump once said this past summer as the virus raged and the death toll continued spiking, it is what it is.
