(40,578 posts)So .... that just about seals it. Hes never been tested, despite all his staffers saying that hes tested multiple times a day. I suspected as much.
Another grand lie.

(15,359 posts)every time he bitched about the test being unpleasant. Just what we needed. Trump discouraging people from being tested. Sure there are things you'd rather do than having a swab put up your nose, but it wasn't that bad.

(27,165 posts)The treatment that Trump touted as a cure for Covid-19 was developed using cells derived from fetal tissue.
The antibody cocktail for Covid-19 that President Trump touted on Wednesday afternoon was developed with cells originally derived from fetal tissue, a practice that his administration has moved to restrict.
In June 2019, the Trump administration suspended federal funding for most new scientific research involving fetal tissue derived from abortions.
Promoting the dignity of human life from conception to natural death is one of the very top priorities of President Trumps administration, the Department of Health and Human Services said in a statement in 2019, around the time of the ban.

(19,375 posts)His last negative test was probably an embarrassingly and irresponsibly long time ago.

(45 posts)This Administration has lied about virtually everything, including his own Walter Reed doctor, why not just lie and say he tested negative on Wednesday, a day after debate and a day before his Thursday positive result. It's weird how they pick n choose which lies to spread. Even if they get caught lying, they just shrug their shoulders, anyway.
