After Positive Test, Washington Post Deletes Awkward Tweet Imagining a World Without Trump

The Post has removed a tweet pictured below, which was written Thursday and released through an automated program, because the subsequent news of President Trump's infection rendered it tasteless. pic.twitter.com/yVsocNl2MG

After being subjected to years of his indecency, corruption, racism, hypocrisy, nepotism, narcissism, attacks on the rule of law, and his obnoxious performance during the "debate," I would imagine that about 60% of the country never wants to think of * again.

Good call. Too bad he renders everything tasteless. I hope he recovers. I don't want him dead. I wish him a long, healthy life. In federal custody.

I really hope you are not going to stop reporting on his attacks on our democracy, support of white supremacists (and murderers), authoritarian tendencies, disgraceful mishandling of the pandemic, etc, just because he got sick. As the president he needs to be held accountable.

See, it's already happening, just as Trump planned. We can't criticize him now because he's "sick." I call BS on that. Media, do not buy into this. We are being duped. #TrumpLiesAmericansDie #TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks

Losing your sense of taste is one of the first symptoms.

Jill and I send our thoughts to President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump for a swift recovery. We will continue to pray for the health and safety of the president and his family.

Doug and I join Joe Biden and Dr. Biden in wishing President Trump and the First Lady a full and speedy recovery. We're keeping them and the entire Trump family in our thoughts.
