Cute distraction with that little driveby, but this is a real story.
Did you know that the rapid testing can be 30% giving false positives? Of course Trump was waiting for a back up . If he said he had Covid and was a false positive Trump would be creamed in MSM for lying . Of Course Trump was waiting for a back up before reporting it.
According to 'people familiar with the matter.' Looks like it was in the interim while he was awaiting a more reliable test.
These tests can be unpredictable. Should he have released earth shattering news, when it may have been a false positive?
Quote:
President Trump didn’t disclose a positive result from a rapid test for Covid-19 on Thursday while awaiting the findings from a more thorough coronavirus screening, according to people familiar with the matter.
Mr. Trump received a positive result on Thursday evening before making an appearance on Fox News in which he didn’t reveal those results. Instead, he confirmed earlier reports that one of his top aides had tested positive for coronavirus and mentioned the second test he had taken that night for which he was awaiting results.
“I’ll get my test back either tonight or tomorrow morning,” Mr. Trump said during the interview. At 1 a.m. on Friday, the president tweeted that he indeed had tested positive.
Under White House protocols, the more reliable test that screens a specimen from deeper in the nasal passage is administered only after a rapid test shows a positive reading. Based on people familiar with the matter, the president’s tests followed that protocol.
This is so ridiculous. If Trump had announced this before the stock market closed on Friday and HADN"T left the hospital before 9 AM on Monday we all would have lost a TON of money.
Thank him for timing his hospital visit in a way that wouldn't have destroyed my 401K

Did you know thats for the 15 minute test, and that the 90 minute test is FAR more accurate? Which im sure he had right after that one.
I'm blocked from reading it but does it have an actual source or is it anonymous again?
Like it really matters to the left. CNN throws out these worthless hit pieces and the brainwashed TDS crowd repeats it as fact, regardless of the credibility of the original content.
