Trump tests negative for coronavirus, White House doctor says

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump has tested negative for the novel coronavirus, the White House announced on Saturday evening.

The president’s physician, Sean P. Conley, said in a memo released by the White House that Trump decided to get tested on Friday after they conferred about matter. The virus is officially called COVID-19.

“Last night after an in-depth discussion with the president regarding COVID-19 testing, he elected to proceed,” the president’s physician, Sean P. Conley, wrote in a memorandum released by the White House Saturday evening.

“This evening I received confirmation that the test is negative,” Conley wrote.

Trump announced at a press briefing on Saturday that he had been tested for coronavirus following his recent exposure to two Brazilian officials who later tested positive for the virus.

Trump, who said his temperature was “totally normal,” told reporters he took the test Friday night but that it would take a few days to get the results because the test was sent to a lab.

Trump took the test around the time a White House doctor issued a statement saying the president does not need to get tested or self-quarantined for coronavirus because he had not exhibited any symptoms.

Trump is at low risk for the coronavirus because his contacts with one of the officials "was extremely limited (photographs, handshake)," and his interaction with the second person "occurred before any symptom onset," Conley wrote in a letter released late Friday.

The president had said earlier on Friday at a news conference in the Rose Garden that he would "most likely" be tested for coronavirus "fairly soon." He was pressed on the matter after it emerged that Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's communications secretary tested positive for the virus. During his remarks, Trump continued to grip hands with business executives and health officials who continue to tell Americans one of the first lines of defense against the spread is to stop shaking hands.

I know everyone here was very, very worried about the presidents well being

[LisaM]

1. I don't know which to disbelieve.

That he took the test, or that it came out negative.

What I do know is that he is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth

[riversedge]

8. one doc said he had bonespurs, another that he was healthy as a horse, late last night this same

doc writes memo saying trumpy did not require testing, now this same doc all of sudden writes note and says trump is negative.


Were is the receipt??

[Perseus]

19. If he doesn't get coronavirus after shaking hands with so many infected people I would have

to say there is something fishy. Is there a "coronavirus flu shot" we don't know about, only available to selected people?

[murielm99]

56. I have wondered about that myself.

I was afraid to say so, because it is so CT.

I think he is swaggering around, shaking hands, interacting with exposed people, to show us that the virus is no big deal. If it is not still a hoax, it is some minor thing that will go away when the weather gets warm.

Also, he thinks he is a god. Nothing can touch him. He gets away with everything. He always has. Tom Hanks gets the virus, and the orange madman is impervious.

[Scarsdale]

64. Are we supposed to celebrate

this announcement? If so, count me OUT. I think the fat bastard looks sick, and acts sick daily.

[blueseas]

72. He shook so many people's hands

We need to see if they got sick?

[dchill]

77. Perfect way to put it!

[cilla4progress]

2. Believable?

[DENVERPOPS]

49. no shit

I don't believe that for an instant, or a single thing they say for that matter.... I'm sure most of the few available tests are being used in Washington D.C......

[CloudWatcher]

3. "... the test is negative," Conley wrote.

And .. we believe this why? Not that I particularly give a damn.

[LisaM]

18. Negative for what?

Maybe he crossed out "for mumps" or something like that.

[DinahMoeHum]

4. Bull. Shit.

n/t

[Walleye]

5. Soo. It was positive.

[Journeyman]

6. Good. I don't want him sick. I want him and all his curs quite lucid when taken down in November ...

[relayerbob]

23. 100% agreed

I want him to fully witness his own national rejection and humiliation

[Journeyman]

42. It may be necessary, indeed the only thing, to convince the MAGAts that his ideas were rejected. . .

by the majority, and that his actions and behavior stands fully repudiated. Most won't see it, but the example needs to be there for the historical record.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. I would like to see him die in prison near the end of a long term

I don't think it will happen, but he needs to be punished severely and to have all his shit come out.

[imavoter]

69. This n/t

[rickyhall]

7. If true, I'm disappointed.

[Jamastiene]

9. It probably doesn't want him.

Even a nasty virus doesn't want that.

[yaesu]

15. I was thinking that too, I mean, no self respecting virus would what to replicate in his cells. nt

[AleksS]

10. I think they mixed up the results from the other test he took...

I think they mixed up the results from the other test he took that day...

the IQ test.

[2naSalit]

24. He ceratinly exhibits the symptoms of

severely low IQ which ventures far to the left of 0 on a number line so yeah, negative!

[Mr.Bill]

11. Let's test him for drugs.

He's been a complete physical wreck lately.

[progree]

12. Thank heavens! We need him around for his firm reassuring presence and leadership and insight

70. March 7-8

Trump went golfing.

[Chemisse]

13. Clearly the "results" were going to be negative no matter what. n/t

[at140]

14. Probably a Lie!

Add one more lie to the Trump list of lies.

[samplegirl]

16. Who could believe anything

they tell us at this point🙄

[meow2u3]

17. I'll believe it when someone leaks it to the press

I wouldn't trust Trump's doc--and Trump--as far as I can throw him. Trump corrupted him; therefore, his word is not credible.

[captain jack]

20. Can a virus get a virus? n/t

[Totally Tunsie]

22. It's early yet. Be patient.

[2naSalit]

25. Next Friday...

that's when I suspect he'll be so sick they'll have to say something.

[CanonRay]

26. I don't believe a word that comes out of their mouth

[Rebl2]

38. I don't either

[lettucebe]

27. Isn't there a 14-day incubation period?

How can you know for sure after less time? Not to mention people that have tested negative, then a bit later were positive.

[truthisfreedom]

28. That's weird. It says the virus is officially called Covid-19. No,

That’s the name of the disease. The virus has a much more complicated name.

From WHO:

Official names have been announced for the virus responsible for COVID-19 (previously known as “2019 novel coronavirus”) and the disease it causes. The official names are:

Disease

coronavirus disease
(COVID-19)

Virus

severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
(SARS-CoV-2)

[Skittles]

29. the coronavirus is relieved to not be infected by Trump

yes indeed

[Vogon_Glory]

30. I can't help but wonder if Donnie is the Corona virus' equivalent

of Typhoid Mary.

[meadowlander]

32. Not for lack of trying.

The first case here had two false negatives before finally testing positive.

Something's going on with him. He looks like wasps attacked the bags under his eyes.

[58Sunliner]

76. True-so did the doctor in China. Even after having symptoms.

[kimbutgar]

33. Really did anyone not expect any other response?

The man who can’t open his mouth without lying every damn time.

[Rebl2]

39. When his

lips move, he lies

[Dem2theMax]

34. Here are my feelings.

1. He didn't take the test.
2. In a 1% chance that he did take it, they would say it was negative, no matter what.
3. From everything I've read, it takes longer than this to get test results.
4. See number three to prove number one.

[LuckyLib]

35. Mayo Clinic test results are ready in 5 hours. I don't believe

Trump was tested, but if he was, he went to the head of the line — probably NIH lab in DC.

[Dem2theMax]

48. Darn! I thought I had him!

In San Diego County they are telling us 24 to 48 hours is the fastest time to get results. And that's a new lab that just opened up that is able to test right here in the county.

And even if they do get a positive result here, they still have to send it to the CDC to have them double-check it.

[TwilightZone]

65. Not sure where you're getting five hours.

Mayo says 24.

https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-develops-test-to-detect-covid-19-infection/

[Grokenstein]

45. I'm cool with that.

Hopefully he will deny any illness until it's too late to save his worthless ass, and it's spread throughout his entire administration-slash-crime-family.

[JohnnyRingo]

36. "I received confirmation..."

So he didn't actually do the test himself but relied on what someone in the Oval Office reported to him.

Way to cover his ass. He's technically not lying.

[turbinetree]

37. Trumps temperature was totally normal......................he is not normal................

he is fucking demented and insane.......................really................he is.......................did trump ask the doc which way the thermometers goes in and where................................

[iluvtennis]

40. Trump/his team lie so much, you don't know what is true and what is false. all I cna say is that

the last several times he was on TV, he spoke like he had congestion in his chest...you could hear the mucous rattling.

[no_hypocrisy]

41. That's the Ticket!

[Cryptoad]

43. yea,,,,

and he weighs 229 pounds,,,,,,

[Grokenstein]

44. Sure, he's clean.

Like he's 180 lbs of lean power, temporarily crippled by bone spurs which he ultimately triumphed over with will power and the manly energy coursing through his completely normal, not-at-all-a-toadstool dick. Also too he doesn't have syphilis or a drug addiction sniff sniff snurk

[machoneman]

46. God, I hope he is and infects every single one of his WH staff, Cabinet, kids and more Republiscums!

[IcyPeas]

47. How could this be possible?

Could he be this damn lucky?

[Linda Ed]

50. Pretty sad when

you can't believe a word that comes out of his mouth or his fake media

[Dixc]

51. is this the new doctor that isn't old enough to shave?

the one that said t-rump get less sleep than he does and is healthier than he is?

[tblue37]

52. Not that one. That one is Jerome Adams, the Surgeon General. The other one,

Dr. Sean Conley, is Trump's personal physician. The claim about his test being negative is from Dr. Conley.

[Lotusflower70]

53. I think he has been tested

But he is lying about the results. In the presser, he said he didn't need to be tested and then he said he was tested. Just a hunch but I think he has it. He has been exposed by multiple people on multiple occasions. He is still shaking people's hands, touching microphones and standing way too close to people. He has such a blatant disregard for others it's ridiculous.

[Dem2theMax]

55. I can almost hear him saying this.

'Yes I do have it, but I have perfect germs. They are absolutely beautiful, perfect germs. So how could they harm anyone?'

If he does have it, he truly believes he can't give it to anyone else. He can't even comprehend that. He only knows how to care about himself.

[littlemissmartypants]

54. Lies. There's still time, check back in fifteen days. nt

[Iwasthere]

57. If he wasn't infected he wouldn't be shaking so many hands over the last week

[Withywindle]

58. So we know that either he wasn't tested, or he was and it was positive

His lying is so reliable, by now we know the truth is always the opposite of what he says.

[BigmanPigman]

59. "I don't know when the results come back" he said

when asked by reporters. Confirmation that he is lying right there. Mr. Germaphobe didn't know...my ass he didn't know. He was/is likely tested constantly. He knows! If it were about someone else's health he wouldn't give a shit, unless it was his little princess of course.

[ffr]

61. Regardless, if he, his family, or @VP are infected, as many suspect they could be,

...they are still holding public rallies with their cult followers at enclosed indoor event centers. They only need to breath around others to infect them and vice-versa. This whole lot is destined for contracting a virus no human body has immunity against, the older ones of which could be dead within weeks.

[duforsure]

62. Nothing out of THIS White House can be believed

After whats been done before by them and trump. This is what happens when there is no credibility left from constant lying , no one believes you anymore.

[Botany]

63. I. O. W. he has got the disease

I don't trust anything that Trump and company say.

[Louis1895]

66. The doctor's wording is suspicious

“This evening I received confirmation that the test is negative.”

Who confirmed this? Trump?

Why didn't he say "Tonight, I received the results of the President's coronavirus test performed by the CDC. I am here to report to you that, as of the time of the President's testing, he is negative for the virus."????????

I believe that Trump received the results directly and told the doctor of the results. The doctor has not seen the results. He just received "confirmation."

[Mr. Ected]

67. Well, if this IS a lie, then it might lead to some FANTASTIC theater in the coming days or weeks

Coughing, rubbing his swollen, darkened eyes, labored breathing, addressing the nation that it's just a cold and we have nothing to fear.

And then if he becomes one of the disposable 60-and-overs that the FOX crowd delights in killing off for us and outright dies of the virus, the MAGATS would have their martyr for a cause yet to be coined.

[maddogesq]

68. Negative, just like the IQ test.

Sorry, couldn’t resist...😎

[bucolic_frolic]

71. Just keep telling MAGAzis that Trump tested positive

They've earned a few lies, total denial of reality, and it will drive them crazy

When they say he's not sick, insist it's underground because he's overweight

Tell them spray tanning stops it cold

just make it up as you go along, the SAME WAY THEY DO

[Lulu KC]

73. The fact that he suddenly started thinking about pardoning Flynn

--on the national day of prayer no less--makes me think he tested positive. Let's see if he suddenly becomes interested in more things that seem like he knows he might be in his last minutes.

[Turbineguy]

74. Trump's last words

will be a lie.

[58Sunliner]

75. That is an anomaly given the infectious nature of this illness.

Makes me wonder if he has a vaccine.
