Oh and folks, lets add in that the accuracy of tests even at the 15 minute one, varies a LOT by manufacturer.

Some of them claim a near zero false positive. Which one do you think the WH uses?


Yeah.

No.

The headline is a bit sensationalized, but the article seems flat factual.

if folks only get their news from CNN etal, they may not have even noticed that Trump passed a rapid test Thursday morning.

Its 2020, and we are discussing Trump, not Clinton. Or is the topic too challenging for you to discuss?

Per the Rupert Murdoch owned Wall Street Journal:

Quote:
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. “Don’t tell anyone,” Mr. Trump said, according to a person familiar with the conversation.

oh, Taratova may have called it a "backup", but that's not correct. It is more correct than the OP's claim he "hid it".

He took a rapid test Thursday morning which was negative. He went to Bedminster. After leaving (exactly when he left and when he took the test when isn't yet known) he took another rapid test. That one was positive. So he took the "deep cavity" test Thursday night and then announced it.

As it stands he is being creamed by the MSM for several bad decisions on this. He has to stop trying to pull one over on everyone. But now its at the point that most people do not know what to believe about any of this.
Candid.. the media would have had a field day with Trump.. it would be a conspiracy, it still is in the news for being accurate.. ever think of all this nit picky garbage the media does?



No matter how much Trump puts out there they would be nit picky.. did they ever pick on Obama like this? Hell no! We get it.. the democrats are the prejudice ones against Trump and his supporters.. the hate for him and us is disgusting.. ever think of that?

They nitpicked Obama for wearing a tan suit and said he had a fake birth certificate (actually, Trump helped!), so spare us the false equivalency.

that's not the WSJ headline. this is

"Trump Didn’t Disclose First Positive Covid-19 Test While Awaiting a Second Test on Thursday"

now of course, we don't know who he DIDN'T disclose it to, other than Fox News.
