Trump says he sees 'no reason' to be tested for the coronavirus

President Trump on Tuesday said he sees “no reason” to get tested for the novel coronavirus but suggested he would be open to doing so if he were given such advice.

“I don’t think it’s a big deal. I would do it. I don’t feel any reason. I feel extremely good. I feel very good, but I guess it’s not a big deal to get tested and it’s something I would do,” Trump told reporters on Capitol Hill Tuesday afternoon after a meeting with Senate Republicans.

Trump said that the White House physician advised him he didn’t need to take the test, even though the president made contact with lawmakers who have since self-quarantined because they had contact with a person who tested positive for the coronavirus.

“I spoke to the White House doctor — terrific guy, talented guy — he said he sees no reason to do it. There’s no symptoms, no anything,” Trump said. The president added lightheartedly that reporters would be “the first to know it” if he had symptoms.

31. Modern video lights are led, so no heat

Old fashioned hot lamps are history.

[CatMor]

2. He is so full of it ...

he probably gets tested daily.

[Dem2theMax]

21. There.

That right there! Nail on head.

[mmbrevo]

24. Yep

The selfish sob is probably hoarding test kits for himself and everyone in the WH. Probably makes them all get tested before he's in the same room with him.

[Runningdawg]

3. I don't believe him

I think he has been tested REPEATEDLY but he's too big of chickenshit to admit it.

[Cartoonist]

4. He won't get tested under oath.

[ArizonaLib]

5. Last time I was afraid to go to the dentist

I knew I had a cavity.

I can only imagine what he's afraid of.

[bucolic_frolic]

6. How many times tempting fate is one too many? /nt

[underpants]

7. Symptoms of dumss though

Way to lead by example, dumbass

[The_Counsel]

8. It Just Makes Sense for the President to Get Tested.

Shouldn't matter if he shows symptoms or not. If the President was anywhere near a risk pool (and I'm thinking that latest CPAC qualifies as one), then TEST that fucker! There shouldn't be a choice. Secret Service should force it on him if necessary.

Protect the President. Duh.

[docgee]

9. I bet he tested positive already.

[doc03]

10. I am sure he has a far superior immune

system than mear mortals.

[3Hotdogs]

20. Bigly superior.

[beachbumbob]

11. another lie 100% garanteed

he probably testing every hour

[ZenDem]

12. I actually agree with him.

Go with those odds, big boy. November is on the way, anyway.

[OhZone]

13. I'll wait until -

I wake up dead.

Then I'll get tested!

[GulfCoast66]

14. I fully agree with him.

No need to take precautions either.

[BluesRunTheGame]

15. I've heard that the worst cases of the virus give victims an orange cast to their skin...

...And white reverse raccoon mask circles around their eyes.

[truthisfreedom]

32. That cast around his eyes is called molester mauve.

[global1]

16. I Think He's Lying To Us That He Hasn't Been Tested....

Thinking about it - he says he's a germaphobe. If that's true - do you think he would go without being tested?

Now I'm thinking he's telling us he hasn't been tested because he fears if he says he's been tested that all American People will demand being tested - and we know two things: 1. there aren't enough tests out there to do that, and 2. he doesn't want the numbers up.

Also - he's says he's talked with the WH doctor. The WH doctor's job is to keep the president healthy. Wouldn't it be a dereliction of his duties if he didn't test Trump for this virus. One would think - as a doc - he wants to know as soon as possible if Trump tested positive - so he can begin to treat him and to initiate the required emergency measures in dealing with such a governmental crisis.

It is irresponsible not to test Trump and quarantine him if he tests positive for the virus. He is putting everyone that works in the WH at risk (i.e., secret service; anyone in his administration that works within that building; his wife; his family; the pilots of AF1 and the Marine 1 helicopter; Pence and Pence's committee dealing with the virus situation; etc). He's putting the American People at risk as our adversaries could take advantage of the situation.

We have a plan for succession of the president. Trump - by ignoring the obvious - is putting us all in peril.

[dalton99a]

39. +1. He lied about what the doctor told him

[redstatebluegirl]

17. He is scared to death of germs! I bet he gets tested every 5 minutes!

[PuffedMica]

18. The coronavirus only affects people with IQs higher than 80

Since Trump's IQ is only 79 (but it is a high 79, the highest in fact), he is immune.

[Dem2theMax]

22. 79?

You are being too kind.

[LuvNewcastle]

19. He raw-dogs porn stars, yet he's a germaphobe.

I'm not sure what to think about his chances of having COVID-19, but I know better than to take advice from him.

[Initech]

30. He also wears adult diapers and is a germophobe.

[LuvNewcastle]

37. I wonder who changes him and sprays

talcum powder on his ass.

[Initech]

40. I hope whoever does gets hazard pay.

[JohnnyRingo]

23. His uncle, Dr John Trump, already immunized him by proxy.

Only Super Geniuses have that bloodline.

[karin_sj]

25. There was quite a bit of sweat on his face

... during the press conference. It reminded me of that video of the Iranian official that was sweating like crazy during a televised joint announcement about the coronavirus. The official did another video later where he announced that he had the coronavirus. It'll be interesting if the orange idiot goes missing for a while in the upcoming weeks.

[spooky3]

26. Melanie totally agrees and wants him to shake hands with

As many people as possible. Meanwhile she’ll stay on her side of the house or out on Jill Biden’s tennis pavilion.

[Stuart G]

27. Think about it he says, "I haven't been tested," and he has been tested, then that lie is

worse than others, for lots of reasons. The main reason is that Trump is lying about a life and death matter and was trying to cover up his own behavior in that "life and death" matter as it directly relates to himself. Another impeachment please..

[jberryhill]

28. Good for him

By all means, Donnie, have a few more rallies, too.

[SeattleVet]

29. I don't see any reason at all for him to be tested, either.

Now or at any time in the future, no matter what symptoms he exhibits.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

33. Other than he might spread it to others.

[SeattleVet]

34. Who does he normally have interactions with?

Well, other than the sycophants, FauxSnooze hosts, and incompetent people placed into office to destroy the agencies they head.

Still not seeing a down-side!

[smirkymonkey]

36. Good.

I hope he doesn't get tested. And then I hope the disease takes over his vile body and shuts it down. Stay in denial, Donny. It suits you.

[dalton99a]

38. "I am very strong and very powerful. The virus is so small and TINY"

[OhioChick]

41. I'll bet my ass that he's already been tested mutiple times

Given how OCD he is about germs.

He doesn't look or sound to be what I would call "healthy" by any means, either.

Doesn't he eat McDonalds and drink Coke constantly?
