Now Mike Lee is positive. What is that all about? (click here)
Donald John Trump's sole focus is himself. He made sure he was able to attend a fundraiser in New Jersey before he was tested, too. Everyone in the area of Trump in the entire past week has to be tested. If they don't, they are being foolish. That includes Guilliani and Chris Christie.

President Trump (click here) announced early Friday that he and first lady Melania Trump tested positive for the novel coronavirus, two days after close aide Hope Hicks displayed symptoms. While appalling, it should be no surprise to learn, as The Post reports:
After White House officials learned of Hicks’s symptoms, Trump and his entourage flew Thursday to New Jersey, where he attended a fundraiser at his golf club in Bedminster and delivered a speech. Trump was in close contact with dozens of other people, including campaign supporters, at a roundtable event.
The president did not wear a mask Thursday, including at the events at his golf course and on the plane, officials said. He was tested after he returned to the White House, but he also appeared on Sean Hannity’s TV show from the residence by telephone.
This is grotesquely irresponsible, but no more so than Trump’s insistence on eschewing masks (and mocking former vice president Joe Biden for wearing one, as recently as the debate on Tuesday), holding large rallies, pushing quack remedies, lying to the public about the severity of the pandemic and goading local officials to reopen schools. All these actions reflect his utter lack of regard for others, his inability to think of the welfare of anyone but himself....
