A former Canadian ambassador to China retweeted a joke pondering the death of U.S. President Donald Trump on Twitter, the day after Trump announced his positive diagnosis for COVID-19. 
“If you’re in the Trump Administration, may I recommend viewing The Death of Stalin?” the tweet read, referring to a satiric film that depicts the power struggle that ensues following the death of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in 1953.
