Joe Piscopo was at Trump's N.J. fundraiser and says he's shocked president tested positive for COVID

"New Jersey-bred comedian Joe Piscopo was among the hundreds of people who attended the fundraiser President Donald Trump held at his Bedminster golf club Thursday, after the White House learned a top Trump advisor tested positive for the coronavirus and hours before the president himself announced he tested positive.

Pisocpo told NJ Advance Media on Friday morning the event was outdoors, everyone was tested for COVID-19 before entering, “security was tight,” and many attendees wore masks — though not the president, who delivered a speech at a podium and answered questions from the crowd.

Despite reports that Trump seemed lethargic and not himself at the club, the actor and radio host insisted the president “looked stronger than I’ve ever seen him" and that he was shocked to learn of Trump’s positive test.

“We were commenting: The stamina of this man is unbelievable,” Piscopo said in a phone interview Friday morning. “He not only did his speech, he stayed and answered questions for 45 minutes.”

Trump’s positive test has sparked concern over how many people the president may have exposed to the virus at his high-dollar re-election fundraiser at Trump National Bedminster."

He’s been residing in the “where are they now?” file for about 35 years. Was he part of the kitchen staff?

He probably got a steep discount. Who wouldn't want to rub elbows with THE Joe Piscopo for an evening? Be still, my heart.

How rapid are these tests? like a quickie strep test ...? But I guess the WH has been using these all along with staffers etc... yikes

Also, I'd love to see footage of him at the fundraiser, how "lethargic" was he?

Doesn't matter now I suppose if he's already vented up.

You say you wanna know who was there? wait a few days we'll see who starts coming up sick

is another positive factor contributing to his stamina. He may have graduated to crystal meth by now though. No man in his mid-70s, who doesn't exercise and eats a diet completely comprised of fast food, can have stamina of any sort. Donnie always takes the easy way out, and chemicals are faster and take less effort than proper diet and exercise.

Having closely watched Donald Trump's lethally irresponsible ways for the past few decades as well as the hyper-focus on the rampage of his last three years, you're surprised that Trump would put you and the rest of that crowd in danger just for a few dollars?

You're not very bright, are you? Sadly, Kathleen Turner isn't around to take advantage of that.
