A member of the US Navy who serves as one of President Donald Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned Thursday, raising concerns about the President's possible exposure to the virus.

The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House and often work very close to the President and first family. Trump was upset when he was informed Wednesday that the valet had tested positive, a source told CNN, and he was subsequently tested again by the White House physician.

In a statement, the White House confirmed CNN's reporting that one of the President's valets had tested positive.

"We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

3. We're about to find out whether or not there is a God.

[Arthur_Frain]

33. Well I wouldn't say that.

We were made in gods image, If I remember, and I’ve got a pretty black sense of humor.

God may we’ll be enjoying all this.

[not_the_one]

47. Completely unrelated to the thread, but apropos to your comment....

Yes, we are made in God's image. Yet there is ONLY ONE god.

We are male and female, therefore, God is a hermaphrodite. There can be no other possible explanation.

[Arthur_Frain]

61. Apropos of nothing at all.....

What use would any ONE god have for genitalia?

Horny Greeks excepted.

39. I think I was Tom Robbins who had a character...

4. He probably got it from Trump.

[SummerSnow]

5. Ok, if does not get this, he will boast that he is immune to it and he is some type of Superman

impervious to disease.

20. His vanity prevents him from believing he's over 60.

He's in a high-risk group.

Best of all, this will qualify as a pre-existing condition in the future. The Master Race isn't supposed to have those.

[ResistantAmerican17]

36. Broke and ridiculed with his kids serving time. Hopefully

That will be the fate of this “master race” poser.

56. (People are saying) Warm weather kills the virus.

The Gitmo guards can keep reminding the crime family that little tidbit.

[ResistantAmerican17]

58. And there's always injectable disinfectant. (One says)

[CaptYossarian]

59. It doesn't have to be injected.

It gets sprayed right on the source where the virus lives: The eyes, nose and mouth.

That would be the greatest presser in presser history. Much more fun than R. Budd Dwyer (Google his most famous press conference).

[Arthur_Frain]

34. Karma does seem to ignore the worst offenders, eh?

[SnowCritter]

9. Trump could always self-medicate

with one of his proposed solutions. Oral application of a disinfectant leaps to mind.

46. May I suggest a big, beautiful powerful light

Inserted into his body ‘the other way’?

18. and Trump did not wear a mask when he was out and about in AZ

13. I'm crossing my fingers and toes

that the whole bunch of them get it.

31. I never gave that a thought. I'll do that too.

55. We can all crash the next Trump rally.

50. Me too! Especially those twin booble-heads Kayleigh and Kellyskank!

Just don't let George Conway get it!

14. Maybe there is a God

[Grammy23]

15. I'd have given anything to see tRump's face when he was informed about his valet.

Isn’t that quaint that our king has his own team of valets?? What is their job? Picking out which red tie to wear? Or tying it? I hope the guy gave a big dose of covid 19 with each encounter with tRump. tRump will be tested daily.....but of course. The rest of us can eat sh*t and die, but he will be tested 5 times a day if necessary.

37. Ouch. Correct, but ouch.

[hlthe2b]

22. Don't even think of wearing that mask, Trump. It might muss your hair or orange makeup...

I hope the valet recovers without incident. I can't say what else I am thinking.

32. More than that it interferes with tRump's desperate narrative it's OK to reopen economy wide. . . nt

[Bayard]

25. Excellent!

However, putting on my tinfoil hat here--what if there is already a secret viable vaccine? King trump, Pence, and a few others get it, but the peasants do not? That's why they're not wearing masks. trump is supposed to be a germophobe.

[groundloop]

30. For now only the well connected could have access to it.... we peasants have to wait

I've thought the same thing for some time now, there's probably a vaccine that's in the early stages of mass production and only a very limited number of doses are available now. tRump and his inner circle will have already gotten it, the rest of us will have to continue dying for a year or so before it's readily available.

[elias7]

26. Just love the testing double standard

We don’t need it, and McEnaney can scoff at those who suggest it, but sure enough, as we have been saying for months, the only way to really know what’s going on is to have tests readily available for all...

[Raven123]

27. How many coronavirus tests are we wasting on Trump?

A guy who takes zero precautions, tells everyone else to suck it up, and cannot empathize with anyone not named Donald Teump.

[MissMillie]

28. It was only a matter of time, really

An essential worker.

The link doesn't specify whether or not this person wears a mask, either inside the White House or when he is out in public.

Well, he'll have his results in a "matter of minutes." Too bad the rest of the country doesn't have access to that kind of testing.

[groundloop]

29. I've never wished a man dead, but some obituaries will be met with great pleasure

[left-of-center2012]

38. Trump was upset when he was informed ...

He's probably angry with the guy.

[KewlKat]

42. +1 million

Hope Barron will escape the virus. He can’t help his dad being the most evil and despised man on the planet.

[left-of-center2012]

43. I bet Barron would have enjoyed Camp David

A nice change from being kept in his room at the W.H.

President Trump's personal valet who tested positive for COVID-19 works in the West Wing and serves the president his meals, among other duties, according to a White House official. Valets do not wear masks, this official says.

49. can't believe traitor has a valet

I thought he threw his clothes on with a pitchfork. In the dark.
