It seems like a no-brainer to test Donald Trump for coronavirus. And things sure seemed to be heading in that direction. When CBS News’ Weijia Jiang pressed him on whether he would get tested during his news conference Friday (watch above), he said “most likely… I think I will do it anyway. Fairly soon. We’re working out a schedule.” Then late last night we got word from Trump’s doctor that testing wasn’t currently indicated. The physician to the president released a statement saying despite Trump shaking hands and being in “closer proximity” with people who tested positive he remains low risk (something that is up for debate).

Now Trump is contradicting the White House doctor saying he was tested last night after all and expects results in the next day or two.

If you are confused, you aren’t alone.

Now it’s been revealed that four people who Trump came in contact with have tested positive. The New York Times points out:

Pressure on Mr. Trump to get tested has been growing since he came into contact with Fabio Wajngarten, a top communications aide to President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil, who tested positive days after a visit last weekend to Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. At Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Wajngarten participated in meetings with the president and posed for a photograph with Mr. Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Two more Brazilian officials who were pictured at an outdoor table with Mr. Trump said Friday night that they had also tested positive for the virus.

Vox’s Aaron Rupar opines “Until Trump gets tested and announces he doesn’t have coronavirus the possibility that he is spreading it cannot be ruled out.”
