Donald Trump gives away that he’s still testing positive for coronavirus
Donald Trump’s “medical examination” on the Tucker Carlson show tonight was disturbing for a number of reasons. For instance, it was really just a political interview not a medical exam. And the doctor that Carlson used for the bulk of the interview has already made a number of bizarre false claims about coronavirus.
For Trump’s part, there were times when his answer didn’t even remotely match up with the question, suggesting he was too busy spitting out pre-rehearsed answers to be able to focus on what he was being asked. Trump also said he thinks he’s no longer taking coronavirus drugs, meaning he’s either too out of it to understand what he’s taking, or he’s lying.
But the biggest moment of the interview came when Trump was repeatedly asked about his coronavirus followup testing since he initially tested positive. To be clear, a coronavirus test is either positive or negative – simple terms that even a compromised Trump can understand. But Trump claimed that he was at the bottom end of the scale on the coronavirus test – which he’s positive and he’s trying to minimize it.
If Donald Trump is still testing positive for coronavirus, then he’s definitely still contagious. This makes his planned White House event for tomorrow even more ludicrous and deadly for anyone who’s foolish enough to attend.
