In the midst of the biggest crisis Donald Trump has ever faced, he found time this morning to continue mocking Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT). This came after Romney said:

Thankfully I’ve tested negative for COVID-19. Nevertheless, guidance from my physician, consistent with the CDC guidelines, requires me to remain in quarantine as the test does not rule out the onset of symptoms during the 14-day period.

President Trump joked in response to Sen. Mitt Romney testing negative for coronavirus.

Trump’s resentment against Romney has been ongoing for the last couple of years because the Utah Senator is one of the only Republicans who will openly criticize the president. Things boiled over after Romney became the only Republican to vote to convict Trump after the Senate impeachment trial in January.
