A member of the US Navy who serves as one of President Donald Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned Thursday, raising concerns about the President's possible exposure to the virus.

The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House and often work very close to the President and first family. Trump was upset when he was informed Wednesday that the valet had tested positive, a source told CNN, and he was subsequently tested again by the White House physician.

"We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

A White House source said the valet, a man who has not been identified, exhibited "symptoms" Wednesday morning, and said the news that someone close to Trump had tested positive for coronavirus was "hitting the fan" in the West Wing.

[FoxNewsSucks]

1. Probably just worried that

he would have to wipe his own gelatinous ass today.

He's sure as hell not concerned with the well-being of a peasant-class servant.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. We knew this had to happen. "Not if. When?"

[lagomorph777]

62. I hope the dude sneezed on every 12-foot red tie and every huge tank shirt

[MoonRiver]

3. Now where did I put that tiny violin?

[liberaltrucker]

57. Here

[3catwoman3]

72. Here it is!

[WheelWalker]

4. Cue the Presidential bleach cellar.

[Jamastiene]

5. I think he is a carrier, like Typhoid Mary.

People he has been in contact with keep testing positive. Yet, he never shows any symptoms. I think he is one of the ones who is asymptomatic and he's spreading it. He's Covid Trump. It is just a new theory, but it does fit, so far, if you follow the timeline of all of the ones he has been in contact with, they always test positive AFTER coming into contact with him. He's Covid Trump. That's gotta be it. Why didn't I see that before?

[Me.]

11. That's What I Think

[empedocles]

43. 'Typhoid Trump' ?

[Me.]

48. It Would Answer The Question

of why he hasn't become sick. Interesting, that valet/steward has had contact with lots of people in the WH, so we'll see what we see in two weeks

[leftieNanner]

64. The virus takes a close look at him from the inside

And runs away screaming.

[Me.]

67. Hmmmm

I would 've thought it's a case of relatives/brothers meeting up

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

52. A play on Typhoid Mary...

Here ya go!

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3959940/

[empedocles]

71. I read your article. 'They' wanted to take Typhiod Mary's gall bladder out. Barely related,

but some things never change I guess. 5 yrs ago I had a couple of pancreatitis attacks. 'They' wanted to take my gallbladder out.

Found a better solution to the pancreatitis attacks was to add more hcl to my system. [Blood type A, low stomach acid tendency]. Thankfully, still have my gall bladder.

[elias7]

74. Actually, the leading cause of pancreatitis is gallstones

In order 1- gallstone pancreatitis, 2- alcohol abuse, 3- medications, 4- viral

If recurrent, and you’re not an alcoholic or on a med causing pancreatitis, gallstones that pass from gall bladder through common bile duct to pancreatic duct and get stuck are the most likely explanation, probably leading to the recommendation to remove your gallbladder.

It really is not all that outlandish.

[empedocles]

75. You are correct on the gallstones cause - from a general perspective. From my

personal perspective, - it was outlandish. A daily 1 pill dose on hcl for 5 years, and no pancreatic symptoms at all - and I thankfully still have my nicely functioning gall bladder.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

24. He is frequently tested, never positive. You have no evidence, only conjecture

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Conspiracy theories start and prosper with statements like "it does fit".

Correlation is not causation.

[LiberalArkie]

27. Frequently tested, never reported positive

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Yes. If he was positive, his staff would rush to the media to gain sympathy for him in polls

If he got ill, he would either beat it and be called "super human" by slow thinkers or if he died he would be sanctified by Republicons.

We do not need either outcome.

[LiberalArkie]

35. It the Don was sick from it, there would be no news of it because "Only losers get sick"

It would be his wife that got sick and his is taking time away from the TV to be with the family.

[RVN VET71]

49. Would love a list of names!

Fact is, Trump doesn't care if the man lives or dies. But he might care that, somehow, the covid-19 virus he transmitted to the man might have endangered others in the White House. Oh, who am I kidding? I mean "might have endangered Ivanka," who is the only meat other than cheeseburgers Trump really covets these days.

[IronLionZion]

60. COVID Donny

[lagomorph777]

63. COVID Captain Clorox

[FirstLight]

6. well, now we will have our own little experiment afoot

I would hate to be a staffer in the WH because these pigs refuse to take any precautions with eachother , much less the
'little" people.

I guess we will get to see how the virus works under these conditions... I just hope not too many of those other workers fall victim. As far as Trump and his evil alliance...Bon Chance!

[still_one]

7. Keep that mask off fearless leader

[FakeNoose]

8. Wait till somebody in his own family tests positive

You think it won't happen? Sure it will. They'll keep it quiet though, because they won't want to scare people away from his Rallies this summer.

For all we know, Chump and Pence might be positive already.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I'm sure he is only concerned with the valet's health

and is just sick with worry about the poor guy. "Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help him and his family. He's like a son to me and I'm so concerned about him!" Trump told his staff.

Actually, he didn't say that. He probably had a ginormous hissy fit and demanded to know who let some virus-infected loser into the White House, and wondered who was going to fetch him some clean underwear, which he needed immediately.

[pandr32]

38. I agree with every word

...but I heard he wears super-sized adult Depends.

[hay rick]

47. There's no empathy like no empathy.

More bad TV coverage for Trump. Oh the humanity!

[Pacifist Patriot]

10. raising concerns?

Surely I am not the only one who has no concern whatsoever should Trump get the disease.

13. Time for a

[bamagal62]

14. When you don't have anything

Nice to say......

[MerryBlooms]

15. Exposed all those people at the plant and contaminated a bunch of masks.

[samsingh]

16. He has no problem when other people are exposed to the virus

[crazylikafox]

17. He'll probably sue him

[leftyladyfrommo]

18. Never a good idea to tempt the devil.

He is so delusional he may really think he is untouchable.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. How badly do you have to screw up in the Navy to get THAT assignment?

"Sailor, you got drunk and left the door open on your submarine. For that you're being assigned to the President's detail as his personal valet."

"Please, sir, not that! Throw me in the brig! Keelhaul me! Anything but that!"

[Walleye]

21. 😂🤣

[liberalla]

68. Might be worth getting covid to get out of that assignment!

[sarge43]

69. Officially, they 'volunteer'.

Who would volunteer to pick up after that slob?

[Walleye]

20. Well the covid knocked some sense into Boris Johnson' thick head

After he almost died. Damn!

[gratuitous]

22. I've heard that injecting disinfectant works wonders, Donald

The guy who said that says he has a very good brain and is, like, a smart person. Give it a try, what do you have to lose? Same guy said that, too.

[dalton99a]

23. Trump probably gave it to him

[woodsprite]

25. I say Trump should drink a bottle of Lysol and shove a black light up his own ass

and call it a day.

[SergeStorms]

53. Along with...

massive doses of Hydroxychloroquine. I'm talking massive doses!

[Pause]

65. I miss Frank sooooooooo much

Sorry for the premature post.





I love "Joe's Garage"





We were warned.

[mobeau69]

26. Warmer

[helpisontheway]

29. Asshole..Only cares if it effects him personally. Nt

[Laurelin]

30. But we don't need tests

Didn't Trump say there was no point in doing more tests, because people would just want to be tested again? Meanwhile people in the White House are being tested multiple times. And why would they even need tests when it's a fake pandemic and nobody is dying and it's all going to go away, poof, because spring and Jesus and the invisible hand and maybe, I don't know, fairies?

So does this unnamed sailor get permanently banned from the military? Inquiring minds are getting headaches.

[malaise]

32. Let's see how Warrior Don the criminally negligent Con

sacrificing for the market?
This would be the one sacrifice the entire country needs. Step up MoFo!

[procon]

33. Once again Trump has himself boxed in with

no escape route that doesn't make him look the bigger fool than he already is. He's made such a show of not wearing a mask, intimating that he is impermeable to Corid 19 and a mask is unnecessary. He's sooo strong... And vain!

Trump is a gambler, always has been, but how much longer can he defy the odds before the virus finds him? He's gambled with the lives of Americans, needless if they live or die as long as he can push past them to force the economy to move and save his ass in the election.

Now the virus has come knocking on his door and there may be others who are close to him that are now infected, and the WH has new orders for everyone around Trump now has to wear a mask, but not him.

My money is on the virus.

[machoneman]

36. The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House. Why are military.....

personnel on the WH staff? Did not know this at all.

And when did this start and why? If there are many others, chefs, servers, dressers, fluffers like Kayleigh and Kellyskank, admin. staff, etc. that are non-military, why are these staffers part of the Armed Forces? Is this like an SS unit that has pledged fealty to the Red Don?

I'd like to know more. A lot more!

[SergeStorms]

37. He was "not happy".

Is the sullen son-of-a-bitch ever happy? I've never seen the asshole laugh, unless he laughs only at others' misfortune. I hope the bastard gets it. If there's a god, if karma exists......the Orange Carbuncle would get the Corona Virus.

[tnbadger]

39. T may have covid incubating

so funny that the valet tested positive... T thinks that having himself (and all around him tested every other day) will keep him safe. what he fails to realize is that during the incubation period of about 5 days that there can be false negative results. some have said that the tests are about 70% sensitive, meaning that of 100 folks getting tested, 30 will have false results. Abbott claims it's sensitivity is higher but who knows? one idependent lab has said it is more around 15%...

[tiptonic]

40. Bet

Bet the Valet gets fired. How dare he get sick and make Benedict donald, look bad.

[qazplm135]

41. I see Satan is still keeping up his end of the bargain

to keep Donald safe.

[SergeStorms]

54. What was Trump's end?

To destroy the United States of America?

[Celerity]

61. in Rump's mind (what little of it there is) it is his installment as God Emperor

Rump's vision of himself



the reality is

[Hekate]

42. "Upset"? Dollars to holes in donuts he had a screaming tantrum.

I hope the valet recovers.

[cp]

44. How close has Pence been to the valet?

Asking for a friend.

[SergeStorms]

56. Doesn't matter.

Pence has his nose squarely up Trump's ass 24/7. If Trump gets it....... I'm an atheist, but I'm going to pray.

[TNNurse]

45. I have never wanted to be anywhere near Trump

but the idea of testing him frequently and by that I mean shoving that swab deep into his face (while wearing a hazmat suit myself) often is kind of tempting.

[warmfeet]

46. I think if dotard45 drinks a gallon of bleach, you know, as a prophylactic,

the rest of us will be much better off.

[bucolic_frolic]

50. I don't know if I believe this story

It sounds like the later-probably-bogus hit men in Mexico who were supposedly after Reagan. In other words, a cooked up tale to ignite the fire of sympathy and fear of tragedy in the MAGAzi base.

[Jarqui]

51. Trump "lots of aspirin, drink plenty of disinfectants, tanning bed and

I'll be fine in the morning ..."

[ecstatic]

55. Hopefully trump hasn't triggered a fresh outbreak in the MASK facility

that many companies are depending on!

That's why his dumbass needs to be masked at all fucking times!

[world wide wally]

58. Trump is such a fearless warrior

[scarletwoman]

59. So. will he still go through with exposing the entire West Point graduating class this month? (nt)

[littlemissmartypants]

66. Has the valet done any spit shining? If not I hope he gets right to it, if he hasn't been reassigned

and everyone needs to boycott the merchandise that President Bodybags contaminated while on his trip to Arizona.

[muriel_volestrangler]

70. Can I ask why "elite military" members are wasted on being a president's "personal valets"?

I haven't heard of this with other presidents, though it may have happened (Obama had Reggie Love, but he came in via working for him in the Senate, and he wasn't a 'valet', but a personal assistant). The best of the military should be doing important things in the military. It's not as if a president lacks personal protection.

73. KR! TY, hpd!
