Sometimes refusing to answer is an answer:White House still won't tell us when Trump last tested negative

Donald Trump recklessly and corruptly violated agreed-upon presidential debate commission rules by not getting tested for COVID-19 shortly before the Sept. 29 debate in Cleveland.
That's the obvious conclusion from the White House's relentless stonewalling about when he last tested negative. And it's time the news media said so.
Snip...
I should be clear: Journalists should keep digging. In fact, it would be great if our elite White House reporters went back to the "sources" they have so assiduously fluffed and granted anonymity to over the last three-plus years and demanded a little payback. Like: "Tell us the truth now while it still matters."
But it's entirely reasonable for our top news organizations to report at this point that the White House's continued refusal to provide simple, basic information leads to the inescapable conclusion that Trump had not been tested recently and that - in the absence of any evidence to the contrary he certainly wasn't tested before the debate.

(7,430 posts)We all remember Trumpy's assertion that HRC didn't have "stamina." Now Trumpy-Boy can't stand up and talk for more than 18 minutes. Why is that? It's because he still has COVID and is still contagious, and, at any time, it could overtake him and dump him onto a ventilator. IMO, Trumpy-Boy is living on borrowed time. COVID is looking for the right time and circumstance to force him to cash in his chips. The longer he goes without testing negative, the higher the probability that he's going to "Herman Cain."

If he's going to break that rule, why not all the rest?
Rules are, after all, obviously only for the little people, and definitely not applicable to anyone associated with him.
