Alyssa Milano is among the Never-Trump celebrities who reacted to the President’s Covid-19 diagnosis on Friday. In a tweet, Milano insisted she “wouldn’t wish this virus on my worst enemy”.
The former “Charmed” star, who was allegedly diagnosed with COVID-19 earlier this year, tweeted that, although she’s not a fan of the U.S. president, she wouldn’t wish for him to contract it.
“As someone who has had #COVID19 and still suffers from post-covid syndrome, I can honestly say with all that I am that I wouldn’t wish this virus on my worst enemy,” she wrote. “Please wear a mask.”
Actress Patricia Arquette added: “They will have access to every medical support and intervention imaginable. I just hope I don’t have to hear later ‘it’s just a bad flu.'”
Other tweets were less sympathetic” Padma Lakshmi called it “karma”, while gleeful Todrick Hall tweeted:
“2020 is that b**ch a*s gift that keeps on giving! Trump got on tv mask shaming Biden and defending his ‘covid jokes’ and now Trump and Melania have covid! You can’t make this stuff up!”
Trump and wife Melania’s positive tests came just hours after one of the POTUS’ top aides, Hope Hicks, revealed she had contracted the virus.
Hicks’s positive test prompted radio personality Scott Nevins to tweet: “Once again, a pretty young woman has gotten Donald Trump in trouble because he did not wear protection.”
Actor James Woods tweeted:
“In my 73 years on this earth I have never witnessed a man and his family be put to the test like this President and First Lady have been. God challenges those who are needed most. While the Left is no doubt sniggering with glee, we patriots pray for our @POTUS and our @FLOTUS.”
The President has been publicly unwilling to wear a face mask amid the pandemic and has only sported one on a few occasions.
Both Trump and the First Lady are expected to recover without any ill effects. Herd immunity can’t be achieved in the U.S. unless a majority of the population contract the virus.
