Well, he later tested negative (using the more accurate PCR based test) after not meeting Trump.
The implications are clear. Trump should leave the US and we’ll stop seeing so many positive test results.
DeWine is only the first of many GOP pols who will escape having to be photographed with Trump, via “positive” COVID tests that later turn out to have been wrong.
The question is, when will Donald catch on?
When will Donald catch on it?
my favorite is trump tweets in gollum’s voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64mWOoj68qo
Some people may be less affected by the virus (I won’t say “immune” because we don’t know enough about it).
Donald has been exposed many times. He is likely to be one of those who aren’t visibly affected.

But: yeah. Where’s the justice in that?!?!?!??
(Larry Niven)
TANJ
(There Ain’t No Justice)
I love Mr. Niven’s work, but he got this wrong. IMO it should be:
There Ain’t No Justice That We Don’t Make For Ourselves
But that doesn’t result in a nifty acronym, so I get why he went with what he did.
I think that moves more from TANJ towards TANSTAAFL.
There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
Which I think was popularized in Acronym form by Robert Heinlein.
(Sorry, could not come up with a pithy Harry Harrison response(
How about TANJETWOM?
There Ain’t No Justice Except That We Ourselves Make.
Not likely to make it onto the streets, I’ll admit. TAN-JET-WOM! TAN-JET-WOM! …nah.

ETA: No Donald tweets in the past day…people are wondering if it’s another “go to Walter Reed to do part of next year’s physical” day…
Maybe, after viewing the Axios interview, Walter Reed docs want him to retake the Montreal assessment.
Or take it for the first time. (We have only Donald’s word that he actually took the test, as opposed to someone showing him the examples readily available online.)
He’s probably got it stuck to the WH fridge with a refrigerator magnet, next to Barron’s report card.
You think Trump would let Barron have any of that precious fridge-door space? I’m guessing he relegates Barron’s report card to the door of one of the fridges that serve the East Wing offices of the First Lady.
You think he really knows who Barron is?
I didn’t say that he did.
Isn’t he that great guy who calls into talk shows to say how great Trump is?
I mentioned before on one of these trump threads that I used to have a little game with a co-worker: Guess if the following trump-related headline is real or Onion-style parody. I’d try to fool him with real headlines that were so unbelievable he’d say “that HAS to be fake!” .This would have been a good one:
“White House reached out to South Dakota governor about adding Trump to Mount Rushmore”
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/09/politics/mount-rushmore-trump-south-dakota/index.html
Then trump goes on twitter to say it never happened but sounds like a good idea! Which in trumpspeak basically means it did happen:
This is Fake News by the failing @nytimes & bad ratings @CNN. Never suggested it although, based on all of the many things accomplished during the first 3 1/2 years, perhaps more than any other Presidency, sounds like a good idea to me!
This is far from the most egregious news coming out of the White House lately, but the sheer surreal malignant narcissistic insanity just boggles the mind at times.
And he did it back a couple of years ago. This time it was his personal ass pucker’ers WH staff that inquired.
From the NYT article
In private, the efforts to charm Mr. Trump were more pointed, according to a person familiar with the episode: Ms. Noem greeted him with a four-foot replica of Mount Rushmore that included a fifth presidential likeness: his.
