It was only a matter of time before POTUS contracted the virus, unless you're the CEO of that company in Ex Machina, completely isolated and reclusive, the nature of the job requires you to interact with a very broad number of people. The gleeful irony that people are expressing on social feeds continues to expose them and their thoughts, at what point does a reminder get dropped that Mike Pence is VP.
As for the SEAL ethos....its BS. There should never have been 'a SEAL ethos' in the first place had Navy leadership recognized the original problems within their own SOF community. Instead of actually fixing the problems, they draft up and make new members memorize this canned and polished disposition of character. Now, some 10-odd years later, some wise-guy at command, thinks its a good idea to play around with pronouns; can't make this shit up. Navy leadership from ship drivers, and SEALs, to pilots and Pentagon warriors, there's problems within the sea service. The fact that POTUS is getting involved is showing how much spotlight NAVSOF has and their own leadership is not recognizing this.

How the hell could this nonsense even get started anyway? How could anyone in his command think this would be acceptable?
People outside SOF do not realize how thoroughly penetrated SOCOM senior leadership is with woke bullshit. They are 100% leading the wrong direction and went all-in with this crap during the Obama years. The only fix would be mass firings and promoting battle hardened O-4/5s direct to O-6/7/8.

Similar thoughts...waiting for the haters to try and dance with that one...the target of their vile smears and disdain tested positive. Every one of their celebrations of this news only affirms what we already know about the extreme leftists. But I'm sure they'll pray for him everyday. Riiiiggghhhhtttt...
Many moderates won't be amused by those wishing actual viral sickness on someone, even Trump.
It will probably be the most thorough case study on the planet.
It might put a minor temporary dent in his campaigning...but DJT could stop campaigning right now and still have done 1000% more than ol' Sleepy ever will.

Don't think for a moment that any of this is some kind of "Theater". That is just silly. Trump is a tough dude. He will fight thru this and be back on the campaign trail well before the election.

I spent 51 years on this rock and learned many things in that time. One key learning is that the people that profess to be those that you should listen to for their enlightenment and guidance are often vile and disgusting behind their facade. This is just another prime example.
This extends way beyond celebrities. I see so many people spewing hate, venom, ill will, and even wishes for death on a man they've never met, and likely has caused no personal harm to them.

Everyone on the left is a communist who wants to overthrow the US government. I totally expect this from them and it does not bother me at all. I don't expect my enemies to wish me well.

These people are mentally deranged. Wishing death on a man whose only "crime" was beating the pantsuit off of a corrupt clinton.
A pox on them all.

Shame that it's come to all this, but it's a volatile election, Trump brings out the best and worst in people, he's not centric.... So the vile isn't surprising in the leasts.
I'd expect Biden advertisements, showing Trump sans Mask, in front of crowds with a tag line that he cares more about himself than his supporters, not wearing a mask, he didn't trust science, blah blah blah...
We have tickets to tonight's cancelled Trump event in Sanford, fully expected to be watching him on stage this evening, even the weather has cooperated...

If there is a bright spot in the Pres. and Melania testing positive, perhaps the White House Doctor(s) are making both of them take a break and getting some much needed rest and recuperation. Trump is no "spring chicken", but he is a dynamo that goes non-stop. Maybe a bit of rest will be good for both of them, and then they can come out swinging for the last 2 weeks before the election.
Trump was due to speak in Tucson, Az. on Monday, and I was really looking forward to it, but it has been cancelled.....as expected.
Be well Mr. President and Melania, you are in the thoughts and prayers of millions of people!!

Trump To Hold Virtual Campaign Rally Friday Despite COVID-19 Diagnosis
After missing both of the two presidential events he had scheduled for Friday (VP Mike Pence filled in on both occasions), President Trump will reportedly hold a virtual campaign rally on Friday night to show America that he's still "in charge" despite embarking on a 14-day quarantine with First Lady Melania Trump.
The news was first reported by FOX35 Orlando, which added that the decision was made after Trump's planned rally in Sanford was cancelled a couple of hours ago by Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien. Stepien has suspended all events involving Trump and his family members.

The true colors of so many have been coming out over the last few years and months. Anyone that would wish death without a care at all are in the same mold as Beria, Himmler, Stalin, etc. Completely amoral and in my humble opinion evil. Now imagine these people in charge. When we carry, we accept that we may have to take a life - and we take that seriously and with regret. We are not callous. But then again, we have morals and ethics that are sorely lacking in the left.
Best wishes to Trump FLOTUS and his family.

We know the President is in (otherwise) excellent health. The odds are in their favor that they will survive the crud-19. Hopefully, neither experience severe symptoms.
