The Utah senator will remain in self-quarantine despite his results.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday appeared to feign mock excitement over Sen. Mitt Romney’s announcement of his negative coronavirus test, tweeting glibly about the global public health threat now bearing down on members of Congress.
Sharing online an article from the alt-right media outlet Breitbart News regarding the Utah Republican’s test results, Trump wrote: “This is really great news! I am so happy I can barely speak. He may have been a terrible presidential candidate and an even worse U.S. Senator, but he is a RINO, and I like him a lot!”
The president’s post came hours after Romney tweeted on Tuesday afternoon that he had tested negative for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. Romney was tested after he came into close contact with Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who tested positive and has faced intense criticism for potentially infecting other lawmakers.
Despite Romney’s negative results, he wrote that “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.”

This tweet is a real test about how you see the man. If you think it isn't sarcastic, bless your heart. If you understand that it's sarcastic but you think it's super clever the way it's done, you're easily impressed and might be brainwashed. https://t.co/Gg3QwAewuG

Imagine you’re Mitt Romney’s niece. You chair the RNC, and your job is to defend the president. You already dropped your family name to keep the president happy. You wake up and you see this tweet.

Yeah that’s it. It’s not that he’s supposed to be focusing on more important things than that jackwad. Honestly, your PTDS is the issue here (proTrump Derangement Syndrome). Or maybe you’re being stupid on purpose? I can’t tell. https://t.co/EQuJYZIb6c
