If we’re just making up scenarios to fit our personal narrative, I can get far more creative than your lame story.
I've read the WSJ article.

I've provided most of the salient details.

I speculated on what he might have told Fox News if he DID disclose that he was between the rapid test results (positive) and the thorough/longer/more accurate test.

For overall context, I've also criticized him as much as any R on this board.

It is disingenuous to keep using that to dismiss the careless policies of this administration.

Trump not only defied guidelines, he mocked those that abide by them.


That Rose Garden party was wrong from all kinds of angles.

And it wasn't necessary.

But the show must go on right?

Trump and his staff chose to travel to an event knowing they had been in close contact for long periods of time with someone who was positive.

That was a careless risk.

Any one of those patrons could be an at risk individual -- either knowingly or not. They would have felt sure that this administration would not risk their lives (seeing as they are so happy to take their money) or that of the President's.

It was careless.

It was insensitive.

It was totally contradicting every single guideline in every single country in the world that has been managing COVID.

I mean he and his staff just chose to do the same damn thing for a photo op. Why is anyone surprised?

Yup -- what about it.

during a pandemic social gatherings like the Rose Garden event are not necessary and have inherent risks ---

So make the announcement -- let off fireworks --- whatever -- just don't gather a bunch of folks together and mock those who abide by the guidelines.

Mark Meadows admitted they knew Hicks was positive when they took off for the event.

AND -- forget that they knew she was sick Wednesday and 'quarantined' her on Air Force One. Until she was diagnosed as positive or negative the White House should not have held a press briefing, should have made proper restrictions to minimize everyone's exposure.

Wrongamundo. Hillary personally had nothing to do with it.

at last there's one reasonable debater amongst the left.

He tested negative before going to Bedminster. Then they heard about Hope Hicks. They went, without her and without McEnany, anyway.

IOW, he didn't quick-test positive and go see people anyway.
