Donald Trump’s doctor can’t get his lies straight about his latest coronavirus test

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

After several days of refusing to say when Donald Trump most recently took a coronavirus test or what the result was, Dr. Sean Conley announced this evening that Trump has tested negative on the Abbott test two days in a row. But as always, this doctor is trying to obscure the truth.

For starters, Conley’s verbiage about Trump’s PRR testing suggests that Trump is still testing positive on the more reliable testing scale. So even if he has tested negative on the Abbott test two days in a row, that doesn’t mean much, considering how shockingly often the Abbott test reportedly delivers false negative results.

But here’s the real kicker: Conley is now claiming that Trump has tested negative on the Abbott test yesterday and today. If this were the case, he would have announced yesterday that Trump tested negative, instead of waiting until today. This is a joke, and this doctor can’t even get his lies straight.
