Questions about whether Trump should take the test began after an attendee of the Conservative Political Action Conference last month tested positive. ADTrump also hosted an event at Mar-a-Lago recently where he was pictured with a Brazilian official who we later learned had the coronavirus. Two others who were at Mar-a-Lago have also been diagnosed, including a Brazilian who sat at Trump’s table. Perhaps the letter was meant to downplay the risk Trump actually faced, which would be in line with Trump’s rhetoric. It would hardly be the first time one of Trump’s doctors did something strange that seemed to align with Trump’s wishes.
