WH Physician: Donald Trump Now Testing Negative for Coronavirus https://breitbart.com/politics/2020...d-trump-now-testing-negative-for-coronavirus/ via @BreitbartNews

A White House physician on Monday announced that President Donald Trump had tested negative for coronavirus on consecutive days.

Which, of course, means that Trump tested PCR positive 3 days ago else they would have said this yesterday.

Reading between lines like that? It is fitting methods used to divine anything sensible from "official" statements from various dictatorships are used here.

I think there should be Trumpology, like USA-practiced Kremlinology during cold war times.

That is correct, and I have read from Wharton MBA graduates that the undergraduate course is just as much respected. The most that can be said is that there is no evidence of trump actually doing well.

There is, however, evidence of a professor of his calling him "the dumbest ing student I ever had", which kinda sorta points to the opposite of doing well.

The Trump administration has been consistent leaving out anything negative. It's just like the question of when did Trump last test negative after being diagnosed with Covid-19. No answers. Reference to privacy, etc. But hey, he's negative for the last 2 consecutive days.

It doesn't take any divine revelation.

Given the fact that he was dancing to the Village People at his latest rally, I wonder if he's insisting on remaining on dexamethasone.

It should be noted that 50+ years ago, U of Penn wasn't nearly as exclusive as it is today. Trump's daddy could easily have tipped the scale with a few bucks.

At the same time, Wharton was not as competitive in 1966 as it is today. Nolan told the Post that more than half of all applicants were accepted — and that rate was even higher for transfer students like Trump.

Also,

"He called me and said, 'You remember my brother Donald?' Which I didn't," Nolan, 81, said in an interview with The Washington Post. "He said, 'He's at Fordham and he would like to transfer to Wharton. Will you interview him?' I was happy to do that."

Soon, Donald Trump arrived at Penn for the interview, accompanied by his father, Fred Trump Sr., who sought to "ingratiate" himself, Nolan said.

Why is everything about Trump’s time at Wharton shrouded in secrecy? We set out to uncover the truth.

I don't understand that. He declared that he had COVID19 in the early hours of Friday morning. Why didn't they just say "he tested negative on Wednesday morning". It would probably be a lie - I think Trump knew he had COVID19 long enough before the debate to know not to turn up in time to be tested - but it's not like the administration has previously had any problem with lying.

I can't remember him ever previously talking about kissing guys or dancing to the Village People. Is that a known side effect of Dexamethasone?

Are we living in some black mirror episode where a conservative president discovers the cure for a worldwide plague but then learns it turns you gay?

I did a youtube search on his dance earlier and first found videos that weren't from Monday. It seems to have been a regular feature of his current year show. He is the master troll after all.

His sister, Maryanne, also said she did his homework for him. No wonder Trump had Michael Cohen send letters to his high schools, colleges, and the College Board (creator of the SAT) threatening them with lawsuits and jail time if they ever released his academic records.

Something compelled me to do that. Probably my obvious sense of humour.

Well, he does quote a Jimi Hendrix line a lot... "'S'cuse me! S'cuse me! S'cuse me!"

It's really quite simple. The people around him were supposedly tested with a rapid antigen test daily to protect DJT. I doubt DJT was. And DJT almost never wore a mask. Somewhere he picked it up. The White House declined the CDC's offer to contact trace. That's rather telling itself. Likely he was only tested in the past after someone he had come in contact with tested positive. I'd bet long odds that he hadn't been tested for weeks prior to the test after Hope Hicks came down with it.

 

[Marcus]

He's looking like his usual obnoxious self, I'm really doubting that he has a bad case which is being covered up. Perhaps his doctors gave the all clear sooner than they should have, that seems possible.

That's the weird thing about Trump's lies - like his complete fumbling of the softball "Denounce White Supremacy" issue at the debate. It seems like the only time he won't lie is exactly when you'd expect him to give the quick easy lying answer. It's utterly bizarre.

 

[Mader Levap]

Indeed, it is very interesting. He lies all the time, but there are certain circumstances where he does not want to and won't, even though it would cost him nothing (like all other lies).

One understandable case is when it would make him look foolish or weak.

But other cases aren't clear at all.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Christie's out of the hospital.

Giuliani isn't bothering with CDC recommended quarantine because his tests are negative. That's the test which has a lot of false negatives. Instead he held a campaign event which threatens to be another super spreader event.
