President Trump is convalescing in the White House residence and claims to feel “extremely well” while recovering from COVID-19. Much of the West Wing staff is working from home as many high-level staffers have tested positive for coronavirus.

The President has cancelled a meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and declared there will be no new stimulus package until after the election. Twitter removed one of the President’s tweets today which he gave erroneous information about the flu.
