Despite the fact that Donald Trump and many of his close cabinet members have found themselves exposed to the novel, potentially fatal coronavirus on multiple different occasions now, the president of the United States has continued to avoid a legitimate COVID-19 test to confirm whether or not he’s contracted the illness as a result of his close contact with infected individuals.
In fact, Trump has made it his mission over the past handful of months to make it as hard as possible for anyone to get tested so as not to raise the official number of infected American citizens — actually going so far as to block testing back in January in an attempt to hang tight to what little chance of reelection he had left.

However, according to a new report from CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta, who spoke to an inside source, Trump’s newfound adherence to the CDC’s rules may have a whole lot to do with the fact that he’s finally seemed to realize that he may be infected… And he’s scared.
“President Trump is calling for calm as fears are growing over the coronavirus,” Acosta stated. “The White House is brushing off concerns the president needs to be tested for the coronavirus, despite his coming into contact with a Brazilian official who came back positive for the virus. The president told reporters today he’s not concerned, but a source close to the president tells me Mr. Trump is, indeed, concerned he may contract the coronavirus after interacting with people who have tested positive.”
Let’s face it, folks, Trump is terrified of a positive test result for himself because that means a quarantine for Mike Pence. And THAT means that Nancy Pelosi takes his place in the White House.
