Trump's decision to get tested came after his Rose Garden press conference, when he was asked if he would get tested.
"Most likely, yes. Not for that reason, but because I think I will do it anyway," Trump said, referring to the interaction with Brazilian officials.
prevnextThe immediate skepticism from Trump critics about his negative coronavirus test is the latest reminder of how he has squandered the credibility he needs in a moment of national emergency — especially when it come to his health.

Trump is 73, making him among the most at-risk for contracting the coronavirus. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, older adults are at a higher risk, as are people with serious chronic medical conditions. That includes heart disease, diabetes and lung disease.

Dear friends; if Trump was actually tested AND tested positive, is there one person on earth who thinks Trump would admit it?
If you are among the groups at a higher risk, the CDC suggests stocking up on supplies and taking precautions to increase space between yourself and others. After going out in public, you should wash your hands with soap for at least 20 seconds. It is also suggested keeping away from crowds and avoiding non-essential air travel. You should stay home as much as possible during an outbreak, the CDC advises.
prevnextHallelujah! President Trump’s coronavirus test has come back negative! Praise God!

- Trump said he’d get tested but now doctor says he won’t
- President Bolsonaro said he tested negative but then said he will remain in isolation for 7 days while awaiting another test
- 2 others from trip test positive
I think it’s fair to ask what’s going on https://t.co/lsm8ceqrC8
On Friday, Trump declared a national emergency, giving states and territories access to $50 billion "in our shared fight against this disease."

"In furtherance of the order, I'm urging every state to set up emergency operation centers effective immediately," Trump continued. "You're going to be hearing from some of the largest companies and greatest retailers and medical companies in the world. They're standing right behind me and the side of me. I'm also asking every hospital in this country to activate its emergency preparedness plan so that they can meet the needs of Americans everywhere. "

The WH announced that Trump took the Coronavirus test, & that he’s negative for the virus.
1) Since everything coming out of the WH is a lie, I don’t believe he took the test.
2) In the event that he tested positive, there is no chance we’d ever be told.https://t.co/nQv2vcSFlz

Elsewhere in his statement, Trump said the government is working to have 1.4 million tests available next week and 5 million within a month.

"We've been in discussions with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-through tests available in the critical locations identified by public health professionals," Trump said."The goal is for individuals to be able to drive up and be swabbed without having to leave your car."

There is a ZERO chance that anyone who is well informed believes this. Not to mention "Was your temperature normal, Mr. President? " Trump: "Totally normal.. if it wasn't, I wouldn't admit it".
Which throws away ANY credibility in the negative test statement. https://t.co/LdOmqdbe9v

Trump also said Google has developed a website that would "determine whether a test is warranted and to facilitate testing at a nearby convenient location."
However, a Google source told Wired Trump's comments were incorrect.
"We are developing a tool to help triage individuals for Covid-19 testing," Google later tweeted. "Verily is in the early stages of development, and planning to roll testing out in the Bay Area, with the hope of expanding more broadly over time."

That being said, if you've used this outbreak as an opportunity to bash the President please stay away from me.
I prefer not to associate myself with TRASH. This is a Team Trump zone only!
