Media: @JohnJHarwood @NewDay: "The most vivid possible demonstration of the incompetence and irresponsibility of @realDonaldTrump's administration. Unable to protect the country, those around him, or himself. A serious, serious blow to his reelection campaign, already reeling." pic.twitter.com/Sfu9PtZIY0

“It’s hard to imagine this doesn’t end his hopes of re-election,” says @RobStutzman. “Trump is now in the position of becoming exhibit No. 1 for the failure of his leadership on coronavirus,” says @geoffgarin. https://t.co/LbXzBtYqIo

I’m told a small group of officials were aware Thursday a.m. that Hope Hicks had tested positive. Despite that, President Trump traveled to New Jersey for a fundraiser and his press secretary held a briefing.

*After* White House officials learned Hicks was symptomatic and had close contact with the President, the President attended a fundraiser in New Jersey where he did not wear a mask and interacted with "dozens" of people. https://t.co/lzNK32gjE2

Donald Trump mocked Joe Biden for wearing masks two nights ago:

"I don't wear masks like him. Every time you see him, he's got a mask. He could be speaking 200 feet away from them and he shows up with the biggest mask I've ever seen." https://t.co/R52TE2xmT3
Finally, memories --
Four years ago, today: Donald Trump was mocking Hillary Clinton for contracting an illness - pneumonia - and implying that it showed she was weak. https://t.co/wywh62CntI
