At that point speculation was running rampant due to the radio silence afterward. The jig was easily in sight since as POTUS he has access to the fastest of COVID tests so “waiting for test results” was extra fishy.

Trump was due to have one of his super spreader event rallies in Wisconsin on Friday, which happens to be a coronavirus hotspot. This may be a plot twist in 2020, but who didn’t see this coming?
