https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/coughing-trump-dodges-testing-question-in-interview-with-sean-hannityPresident Donald Trump, still recovering from COVID-19, phoned into Fox News' Hannity on Thursday night and dodged host Sean Hannity's questions as to whether he had been tested for the virus in recent days.
Trump phoned in to speak to Hannity about his condition, but the president was evasive with his answers and sounded hoarse and at one moment had to stop for a coughing fit.
-snipping paragraphs about Hannity's first two questions about whether Trump has been tested, which Trump evaded-
"Have you had a test since your diagnosis a week ago?" Hannity asks again a little later.
"Well, what we're doing is probably the test will be tomorrow, the actual test, because there's no reason to test all the time. They found very little infection or virus if any. I don't know if they found any. I didn't go into it greatly with the doctors. We have these great doctors at Walter Reed and you do rely on them, they are really fantastic talents and they came in from Johns Hopkins also and other places. When you're president I never saw so many doctors looking over me," he said.

expensive treatments that none of us can afford then four days later tell us not to be afraid, piece of cake?

because why would he have known anything about it before? What, from the task force press conferences where he crowded into the camera frame?

Hes still fighting it and is contagious. If he had tested negative we wildly have head hm bragging immediately.
