A coronavirus diagnosis isn't keeping Don Trump Jr quiet on social media, where the president's son has remained active while in quarantine.
Trump Jr posted a video to Instagram on Friday night to reveal that he has tested positive for 'the rona' but had no symptoms, and was quarantining in his cabin in upstate New York.
Over the weekend, Trump Jr relieved the boredom with a flurry of social media activity, promoting his book Liberal Privilege and posting a spoof video from the film A Bronx Tale depicting his father as Mafia boss Sonny.
'Now youse can't leave!!! Great remake from A Bronx Tale,' commented Trump Jr on the clip, which depicts President Donald Trump and his allies as mobsters beating up a biker-gang of top Democrats.

In his Instagram stories, Trump Jr also offered a special Black Friday deal of 25 percent off his book, and slammed Joe Biden's son Hunter over his foreign dealings.
Trump Jr endorsed a tweet from conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who predicted that 'Donald Trump Jr. getting the China Virus will get more coverage from the activist media than Hunter Biden and his laptop did.'
'100% True,' agreed Trump Jr. 'A private citizen getting it and being totally asymptomatic much more newsworthy than the som [sic] of a politician selling influence to our enemies.'
President Donald Trump shared that his son is 'doing very well' after Don Jr. confirmed he tested positive for the coronavirus and was quarantining in upstate New York.
Trump took to Twitter on Saturday morning to share insight into how his son was doing, less than two months after he too tested positive for the virus.
'My son Donald is doing very well,' he said in the tweet. 'Thank you!'

Donald Trump Jr. took to Instagram on Friday to update his followers and the world on his condition.
President Donald Trump shared that his son is 'doing very well' after Don Jr. confirmed he tested positive for the coronavirus and was quarantining in upstate New York.
'Apparently I got the rona,' he said in a video posted on Friday night.
'You wouldn't know it, based on anything that I have felt or seen. I guess I've been totally asymptomatic.'
He said he would 'take it seriously' and 'follow the regular protocols'.
The 42-year-old said he got tested because he was going traveling with his son, after being on the road campaigning for his father for several months.
'Maybe it's a false positive, maybe not,' he said, saying he would seek more tests.

'I think you can tell I probably look OK for me. It's never going to look great, but at this point, at 42, I only work with what I have.
'I don't have the red eyes like they claimed I had for apparently using cocaine prior to my RNC speech.
'That is the world of the internet. God knows I troll, and do my fair share of it, so I guess it comes back to me, in time, as well. That's the game.'
The president's son also asked for Netflix and e-book recommendations.
'There are only so many guns I can clean before I get bored,' he said.
He remains symptom free so far, his spokesman said.
The spokesman added: 'Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result.'
Don Jr. owns a cabin in upstate New York where he likes to fly fish in the Delaware River.
He and his brother Eric co-own the 171-acre hunting preserve that they also use as a private shooting range.

President Donald Trump's oldest son escaped catching the disease when his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle had it over Fourth of July.
He is the second of the president's children to test positive for the virus, following Barron Trump's diagnosis last month.
Barron tested positive in October when both his parents had COVID.
Don Jr's infection comes as coronavirus cases are in the rise in the United States with more than 11.9 million people infected. More than 253,000 Americans have died from the disease.
It's unclear where the president's oldest son may have been infected. He was at the White House on election night where several of Trump's staff later tested positive for COVID, including White House chief of staff Mark Meadows.
He's the latest in a long line of people close to the president to get infected.
Also on Friday, Andrew Giuliani, the son of Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and a White House aide, announced he had COVID.
'This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19. I am experiencing mild symptoms, and am following all appropriate protocols, including being in quarantine and conducting contact tracing,' he wrote on Twitter.
Andrew works under President Trump as a White House public liaison assistant and appears to have been involved in Trump's failed re-election campaign.
The 34-year-old attended his father's bizarre press conference on Thursday where hair dye dripped down the sides of the heavily sweating 76-year-old's face as he claimed there was 'evidence' to 'massive voting fraud' in the presidential election.
Three low-level staffers at the White House also tested positive for the virus in recent days, according to NBC News.

The disease is spreading throughout Washington.
Two Republican senators, Rick Scott of Florida and Chuck Grassley of Iowa, have announced in the last few days that they have COVID.
At this point 26 House members and 10 senators have tested positive or been presumed positive since the beginning of the pandemic, according to a count by CNN.
Last Friday it was reported that more than 130 Secret Service agents who protect the president, the White House and the first family were ordered to isolate because they caught COVID or were in close contact with someone who was infected with the virus.
The spread of the highly contagious disease sidelined about 10 percent of the agency's core team, The Washington Post reported, and the infection rate is believed to be linked to the numerous campaign rallies Trump held before the election - 14 in the last three days of campaigning alone.
Don Jr is also a regular at his father's rallies.
The agents saw a rise in infections after a recent outbreak at the White House in the wake of an election night event attended by hundreds of unmasked Trump supporters.
Meadows, top Trump adviser Corey Lewandowski, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, and David Bossie, the man leading Trump's legal fight against the election, were among those at the election night event who later tested positive for COVID.
That was the second of two superspreader events tied to the White House. The first one was the September 26th Rose Garden ceremony where President Trump announced Amy Coney Barrett was his Supreme Court nominee.
