Kanye West has sent his thoughts and prayers to President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump after the duo got detected with coronavirus. The rapper took to Twitter on Saturday, October 3rd, to send one of his less controversial recent tweets. He expressed his concern for the Trumps as they undergo treatment for COVID-19. “There’s a crying need for civility across the board. We need to and will come together in the name of Jesus,” West wrote. “I’m praying for President Trump’s and Melania’s full recovery, just as I would for Joe and Jill Biden if they were stricken, as well as everyone else with COVID-19.”
West has a long history with Trump, once appearing alongside him wearing a MAGA cap. He did however declare he no longer supported the President when he announced his own intention to run for election back in July. Many other celebrities also reacted to the Trump news, including Cardi B, 50 Cent, and Josh Gad. The Democratic nominee Joe Biden wished the President and First Lady a speedy recovery. Hours after his diagnosis, Trump was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Centre in Bethesda, Maryland, as a "precaution" on Friday following his test results. On Saturday, the POTUS released a video in which he said he was feeling "much better" and hoped to be "back soon".
