I do not believe any part of the "Trump got tested" story. Unless someone besides Trump

or those who are within his reach corroborates it, I refuse to believe he was tested.

IF it were to be corroborated that he did, in fact, undergo the test, I would then refuse to believe that he tested negative unless THAT was also similarly corroborated.

That's just playing the overwhelming odds, folks. I believe NOTHING that originates with Trump or his cultists.

The test involves sticking a qtip up the nose. He would be afraid that the test would show that he snorts Adderall.

As for saying he doesn't have symptoms, are they looking at the same person I am? He is so short of breath that he had to take breaths mid-word. He also looks like shit.
I don't believe anything out of that WH.

He needs to hold that sh*t in front of the camera long enough to get a good clean shot of what I hope is his positive result. I hate the bastard with my whole heart and mind. If I can't get a perp walk then I'll settle for watching him drowning in his own secretions.

...it just says he doesn't have symptoms. It says nothing about the test results. Is this what they are basing the 'negative' status on?

Since Trump fires anyone who tells a truth he can't handle, like he did with the DNI Maguire, we have to question anything anyone who works for him says.

Trump and his minions lie so much we would be actually unlikely to ever expect the truth.

Show me the video of him getting swabbed and it being tested. Show him getting a CT scan of his lungs and the results. Because as disgusting as it would be to see that Orange Terd have a swab up his nose and his bare fat man boobs as he gets a CT scan, if I saw it live and the image on screen, them maybe I would believe it.

Not likely. Negative in general is a constant thing but negative on covid 19? Not likely. I wouldn’t want to have been the one to put the 6 inch Q tip swab up his nose.

It seems unlike Trump to see any kind of expert or professional without trying to dictate what the truth is to them, though. Its not hard to imagine him telling his doctor that there is really no need for any phony test because people with HIS genetics (*THE BEST*) never get sick, and also they all live to be 900 year old wizards with no cognitive decline, and genius IQs. Its harder to see him taking a test, if it could tell him something he doesn't want to hear.

What I cannot imagine, is him allowing a positive result to be released under any circumstances.

It probably doesn't matter, though. If he swaps out his pumpkin orange for cucumber green, and starts showing up on Fox and Friends in a hospital gown with an IV in his arm, we all know what actually happened.
