Donald Trump is in quarantine, infected by COVID-19

  • The violent atmosphere that the United States is living on the doorstep of presidential elections is further complicated when President Donald Trump announced he had tested positive for coronavirus himself and his wife. Trump is among the most vulnerable risk groups to the pandemic, due to his age. He must be quarantined and withdrawn from the election campaign.

Donald Trump eta Hope Hicks hedabideen aurreko agerraldi batean. (Argazkia: Politico)

In the early morning of October 2 (European time) Donald Trump himself has confirmed on Twitter what his staff members had disseminated shortly before: that his wife and he are infected with coronavirus:

The doctors of the President of the United States have stated that, like Trump, his wife, Melany, is right now. Apparently, he's jumped the alarm when Trump's very close advisor, Hope Hicks, has begun to feel sick and tested positive. Hicks was one of the top presidency officials who had just travelled with Trump on the same plane, advising him, among other things, in his confrontation with Democratic candidate Joe Biden. At first, it is not known how many more of Trump are infected, in addition to lehendakari and his wife, by the scandal they are causing.

The effects and political calculations have come to light quickly, due to the quarantine of the President of the United States. On the one hand, Donald Trump will not be able to participate in some of the most important events of the election campaign, even if he managed to get him through without symptoms. On the other hand, mechanisms will be put in place to ensure the leadership of the world's first power if Trump begins to suffer symptoms, in that case Vice President Mike Pence would assume the leadership. But ... What if Pence were also infected? It's not a hard hypothesis to imagine, as this very week he's met with Trump to address the situation. If Pence also fell ill, Nancy Pelosi, president of Congress, would have to take responsibility, as she is the third in the US hierarchy. Yes, a democrat.
