We have reached that part of the Narrative known to the Greeks as “Deus ex Machina”. The tragedy, caused by hubris, reaches its gravest peak and the degree of suffering demands outside intervention by the gods to dispel the furies and restore order.

Think how stupid you have to be to be president with all the protection and resources he has — to get this virus.

On the plus side @realDonaldTrump can now do the debates remotely and they can mute him when it’s not his turn to speak. Get well soon DJT.

Melania now has the perfect excuse to inject Trump with bleach then plausibly claim that he ordered her to do it.#TrumpHasCovid

It's a good job Trump was so softly spoken through the debate, otherwise he might have spread his germs.

There were several warnings to Twitter about lowering themselves to Trump’s level, like this from James O’Brien.
You can point out Trump’s depravity & irrefutable responsibility for tens of thousands of American deaths without wanting him to become one of them. Spare me the ‘both sides’ bullshit. The man’s a monster but wishing him dead makes you more like him than you need to be.

It’s a good point, but not one everybody was ready to embrace.
Reading quite a few tweets like
"So much hate for Trump, I wouldn't wish this virus on anyone"
Yeah, let's send a bunch of flowers to the white supremacist, homophobic, pathological lying, sexual predator.

If your first reaction to hearing Trump getting the virus this morning was to make a joke, you are a bad person because I slept in and you took all the best material.

If you're tweeting laughing at Hitler only having one ball then you need to realise you've become everything you profess to hate.
