White House won't say when Trump last tested negative for COVID-19

The White House has repeatedly refused to disclose when President Donald Trump last tested negative for COVID-19 before he announced his infection -- information that could help determine who he exposed to the virus and the severity of his illness.

The White House has also declined to confirm when and how Trump was tested before last Tuesday's presidential debate with Joe Biden, even though both campaigns certified to debate organizers that the candidates and everyone who traveled with them to Cleveland tested negative within 72 hours of the debate.

"I don't want to go backwards," Dr. Sean Conley, Trump's White House physician, said Monday when asked about the president's last negative test results -- one of at least seven times White House officials declined to answer the question since Friday.

The White House, which has made contradictory statements about when and how often Trump is tested, said the president first tested positive Thursday evening, and first discussed symptoms with his doctor at that time. Studies have shown that coronavirus patients are infectious up to two days before the onset of symptoms.

1. Dishonest ass kissers.

How much do you want to bet he was NEVER tested? Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

2. COVID coverup

What did the President know, and when did he know it? COVID-gate.

[Wellstone ruled]

3. Yup,got to protect the King.

These sorry ass spokes persons need to be exposed as to their complicity in this National Disgrace.

4. I think they're worried that if negative dates were released,

People would expect to know when the REAL first positive test was taken.

And if it was BEFORE the debate, and they lied about it....

[targetpractice]

5. Or, that he wasn't testing like he said or at all...

... He hated the test... Thought it was too uncomfortable, and relied on others around him being tested.

7. I've always assumed that's most likely true.

I can't imagine him submitting to such discomfort more than once, much less every 2 or 3 days, as he claimed.

I also think they became lax about making sure others around him got tested.

8. Spot On

But since this would make Trump the ground zero superspreader they won't come clean. Cover for the boss, always. Some kind of boss that is. More like a skunk.

9. Yeah... It would be logical to assume...

... That he was "Patient Nero" (thank you to The Magistrate for that term) if there is no record of negative testing... After all, everyone was in his orbit... not the other way around.

[Mr.Bill]

10. I agree.

I think the first test he ever took was after he showed symptoms. Probably around the day before the debate.

6. That's what I think too. Exactly.
