Trump was tested for COVID-19 and is awaiting results despite his doctor saying he didn't need to be tested or quarantined

President Donald Trump speaks during briefing on coronavirus in the Brady press briefing room at the White House, Saturday, March 14, 2020, in Washington.President Donald Trump on Saturday said he was recently tested for the novel coronavirus and is awaiting results.

"The President's exposure to the first individual was extremely limited , and though he spent more time in proximity to the second case, all interactions occurred before any symptom onset," Trump's doctor, Sean Coley, wrote. Multiple members of Congress were potentially exposed to the virus after interacting with someone who tested positive for it after attending the Conservative Political Action Conference. Some of those lawmakers later shook hands with Trump or were in close proximity to him.

As the president was moving from the podium, a reporter asked about his temperature. Trump remarked it was "totally normal," though he did not provide any more details.

The doc appt next week

It would be prudent to test all the people in The White House.

Test the moron for mental ability also. My guess is he will fail badly.

He took the test only to silence the media. He knows he’s immune.

Why did his doctor said that? 🤔 did Trump immune to that virus? Wow

Trump doesn’t have the mental capacity to understand this?

Why do you believe what Trump says?

he has very useless doctor! how can a doctor say that he do not need test? it shows zero semptom it is even during the incubation period.

Let's wait. Hope he will not have it...

Maybe Carson can talk about how residents confined in public housing for weeks will get fed. prayonit

If anyone thinks 45 will be honest and release results if they are positive for the virus, are as delusional as 45 himself.

Let’s hope for the best! 🙏

Probably a smart thing to have the leader of the free world tested for a virus. I can’t imagine anyone in their right mind would disagree

If he tests +ve , it be the meme of the century !

Let's wait for the result!
