The last time Trump said he tested negative for COVID-19 was in May, and the White House refuses to say if he's tested negative since

Despite the seismic implications of the president of the US contracting a deadly and highly infectious disease with no cure, the White House is still providing very little basic information about President Donald Trump's coronavirus status.

Aside from his positive-test announcement on Friday — which led to him being hospitalized with COVID-19 for three nights — the last time Trump was on the record talking about taking a test was in May, when he said, "I tested positively toward negative."

Between Trump's "positively toward negative" disclosure on May 21 and the tweet confirming he had tested positive for COVID-19 on October 2, the White House would not point Insider toward any specific instances when Trump even took a test.

At one point in July, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Trump was tested "multiple times a day." He contradicted her later in the day and said he couldn't recall taking more than one in 24 hours.

McEnany, along with other White House officials, such as spokeswoman Alyssa Farah, have declined to specify when Trump takes coronavirus tests or the last time he tested negative.

"I can't reveal that at this time. Doctors would like to keep it private," Farah said on Thursday.

The president attended 113 public events between his last known negative test and the night before he disclosed he had COVID-19, according to a database of his travel and events calendar from Factba.se, a site with a variety of Trump-related databases.

Insider asked the White House repeatedly on Thursday how often the president is tested, when his last test was, and if it had disclosed any tests taken since May 21.

"The president is tested regularly," a White House spokesman said in an email.

Now there’s a scandal.

LMAO

We don’t even know for sure if the last president was a
citizen of the United States, but the fate of the nation
rests on Trump’s testing records.

Screw these AHs.

“Something doesn’t add up here.”

I tend to agree. Look at the timeline of his announcement, onset of symptoms, hospitalization, use of steroids, finding of COVID IgG antibodies — events don’t line up well.

This article is nonsense. Judd Deere told BuzzFeed on Friday the 2nd that Trump along with everyone on Air Force One were tested on the Tuesday of the debate. The following Sunday, Kayleigh McEnany said, “Yeah, I’m not going to give you a detailed readout with timestamps every time the president is tested. . .He’s tested regularly, and the first positive test he’s received was Thursday after he returned from Bedminster.”

If true, then there was a super spreader in that event.

Irrespective...COVID “exposure” is not an automatic death sentence unless you’ve made you immune system lazy through lots of use of “sanitizers” and “frequent hand washing” (gee, who told you that?) and face diapering.

For someone who knows everything, you should know the President is 74. He’ll turn 75 next May.

Never mind CCPVirus, imagine all these idiot leftists who wear a mask anytime they leave their house and what will happen when they finally stop wearing one and evry little germ or virus will make them sick?

In a sane world they would realize what actually happened, however I expect they will demand more mask wearing to protect them from the scary germs.

I wish Georg Carlin was still alive today. I haven’t used hand sanitizer unless I know I touched something that was not safe. I’m not worried about touching the grocery cart handle unlike some us use 5-10 wipes to cover every surface.

They’ve come completely undone.

Now NYT is calling for UN to intervene in our election.

They’re insane.

GC had a lot of wisdom.

“Stuff” is at the top of my list.

Closely followed by:

“no matter how much money you make
you could always use another 50 bucks a week.”

Those Fearper Azzholes actually believe that because toilets and urinals emit areosols while flushing (which they undisputedably DO!) that is why you absolutely MUST wear face diapers in the restroom—the better to keep inhaling other peoples’ pizz and zhit all day!

FOOLS!

The restroom is one place where you ought to stuff that useless nappie into the most secure and hidden spot you can find!

Oh, my ... First Trump is reported to have COVID19 and apparently comes through it just fine only to find himself stricken just a week later with an incurable disease.

I will miss him greatly.

Wallace said everyone at the debate tested negative. Testing was said to have been done at ACB nom too. And presumably around the frequent rallies.
