Ahhhh Freakout!!! Chic Trump Donors At Bedminster Golf Club Go Ballistic After Learning Trump Covid Positive

The United States' top news story on Friday morning was, hands down, President Donald Trump's announcement that he had tested positive for COVID-19 — which has also infected First Lady Melania Trump and the president's long-time adviser, Hope Hicks.

On Thursday night, before he received the diagnosis, the president attended a crowded GOP fundraiser. And CNBC is reporting that Republicans who were in contact with Trump during that event, which was held at the president's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, are worrying that they might also test positive for the novel coronavirus.

An anonymously quoted source described by CNBC as someone with "direct knowledge" of the event told the media outlet, "The donors have been texting and calling. Freaking out."
