Metal Musicians React to Donald Trump Testing Positive for COVID-19

Late last night, the U.S. President confirmed he tested positive for COVID-19

What a wild time in American history 2020 will be. A few days after the first U.S. presidential debate, the sitting President, Donald Trump, and his wife, Melania, have confirmed that they both tested positive for COVID-19. Many other Republican aides have tested positive as well. Much like with the debate itself, metal musicians have plenty of things to say on the matter, and we thought we'd do a roundup.

I know what you're thinking – where the fuck is Ja? Unfortunately, Ja Rule has yet to comment on Trump's condition, but he's still trying to figure out who tf the Proud Boys are. The reactions in the metal world were mixed.

I think people who do bad things get away with it all the time. They caught it because they are careless, not because of a cosmic boomerang. This also has a real chance to help Trump politically. It will make him sympathetic, especially if everyone is dunking on him.— Doc Coyle (@DocCoyle) October 2, 2020

My mom just called me and told me not to say anything shitty on Twitter about Trump having Covid.

Mom…I would NEVER do such a thing! ❤️#FuckCovid— Mark Morton (@MarkDuaneMorton) October 2, 2020

Donald Trump getting COVID is funny. If we get a two for one with Biden it will be even better. Bad people deserve to suffer.— Paolo Gregoletto (@TriviumPaolo) October 2, 2020

I woke up to find out Trump got Covid. I hope he and Melania are fine. If he ends up being fine it will be fucking hilarious.— PhilThatRemains on youtube, IG, Twitch #BLM ?️‍? (@philthatremains) October 2, 2020

Trump contracting coronavirus is further evidence of his complete incompetence. Whether or not he actually called COVD-19 a hoax directly is irrelevant. He consistently REFUSED to take the precautions insisted upon as the ONLY means to not contract the virus, & now he has it.— Vernon Reid (@vurnt22) October 2, 2020

Remove our like or dislike of Trump for a moment.
Think of the Office,
& not the man.
This. Was. Preventable.
The communicability & deadliness of the virus made the POSSIBILITY of infection a National Security Issue. That single aspect called for a seriousness he is INCAPABLE of https://t.co/m1PkiLOrKd— Vernon Reid (@vurnt22) October 2, 2020

The timing here is very different. That was early on. At this point, no amount of sympathy or national unity could get us behind him. Also, Johnson hadn’t just caused the ugliest debate in history, in which he mocked, taunted and ridiculed his opponent about wearing a mask.— Alex Skolnick (@AlexSkolnick) October 2, 2020

Lots of orc art AND Trump has covid?? This might be the best October ever.— Nina Osegueda ? (@DuchessODork) October 2, 2020

What happens when Trump beats this thing and has no symptoms, just like a few other people in his administration who took the Hydroxychloroquine/Z pack combo? Trump will say CDC is to blame for all deaths, while looking like Superman… Look what it did for Boris’s popularity??‍♂️ https://t.co/2PdIVWN7rt— TRAPT (@TRAPTOFFICIAL) October 2, 2020
