At 1 am this morning, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted that he and his wife Melania have tested positive for COVID-19. “We will get through this TOGETHER!” he tweeted. Melania added: “We are feeling good.”

The news comes just days after Trump’s combative first election debate with Joe Biden. Trump displayed symptoms yesterday, but nonetheless maintained his schedule, including a fundraising event.
