President Trump Gets COVID-19

 Donald Trump Gets COVID-19

Tweet from Donald Trump on October 2nd, 2020.

Yesterday the President of the United States has announced that he and his wife have tested positive for COVID-19 on twitter. This is a pretty huge event, especially during the election. Being the leader of our nation, the President must set a precedent for his citizens. On the first presidential debate, he even criticized Joe Biden for his usage of a mask. Overall, the situation is pretty ironic seeing as though Donald Trump has gotten the virus and was poking fun at former Vice President Biden for doing something that everyone in the nation should be doing: wearing a mask. 

Considering both are much older in age, this could potentially be a very dangerous situation for America as a whole. As we know, the virus is deadly for those who are older due to the weakened immune system. We will have to see how this all plays out, but this is a pretty bad look for the president during this election season. Will voters take him seriously after he himself gets the virus after toting his "good genes"? As someone that is planning on voting, this makes me wonder the validity of Donald Trump's campaign and ideology. Can we trust someone who does not even follow the guidelines put in place for his constituents?
