President Donald Trump and Melania Trump announced that they have tested positive for COVID-19.
The announcement came soon after it was confirmed that top White House aide, Hope Hicks, had tested positive for the Coronavirus.
He tweeted:
Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!

Stock market futures are cratering on the news, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average down nearly 400 points.
What will this mean for the presidential debates? How will the president carry out his duties? Does this mean a steep plunge in the equities arena over the next few days? What an October surprise.
