I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get the rapid Wed and ignored the results because he "felt fine".

The important question that the doctors blew off yesterday.
Did Trump even get tested on Tuesday, before the debate?

As the virus spread among the people closest to him, Mr. Trump also asked one adviser not to disclose results of their own positive test. Dont tell anyone, Mr. Trump said, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
Mr. Trump and his top advisers also aimed to keep such a close hold on the early positive results that his campaign manager, Bill Stepien, didnt know that Hope Hicks, one of the presidents closest White House aides, had tested positive on Thursday morning until news reports later that evening, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Trump campaign said Friday evening that Mr. Stepien had tested positive.
