President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for COVID-19 and the vile comments were launched soon after the announcement, including comments calling for the president to die.
The president took to social media to confirm the positive test results early this morning and he also confirmed his senior aide Hope Hicks tested positive for COVID-19.
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Hope Hicks, who has been working so hard without even taking a small break, has just tested positive for Covid 19. Terrible! The First Lady and I are waiting for our test results. In the meantime, we will begin our quarantine process!

The First Lady commented on social media thanking supporters for their good wishes.
Thank you for the love you are sending our way. I have mild symptoms but overall feeling good. I am looking forward to a speedy recovery.

But it didn’t take long for the onslaught of vile comments against President Trump on social media.
"I hope he dies"

This isn’t some random Twitter troll. Zara worked with Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama. Disturbed, evil Democrats are cheering right now. pic.twitter.com/fEG5DVg3ty

Will Twitter suspend the users wishing for the death of President Trump and the First Lady? 🤔
