President Donald Trump said on Thursday that both he and Vice President Mike Pence tested negative for coronavirus after they were informed that a member of the U.S. military who works at the White House had tested positive.
Pence told reporters that he, the president and White House staffers who come into contact with Trump would now be tested every day. But the president cast doubt on the effectiveness of frequent testing.
The president told reporters in the Oval Office that he had “very little contact, personal contact” with the person, who a White House official told POLITICO was one of the president’s personal valets.
The president has two valets in the Oval Office and three in the residence, according to a former White House official. Valets who work in the Oval provide anything Trump requests, such as coffee, food or whatever else he might need during the day. The president can call this valet whenever he wants using a button, making frequent daily interaction common.

Pence told reporters that he, the president and White House staffers who come into contact with Trump would now be tested every day.
But the president cast doubt on the effectiveness of frequent testing.
And apparently he has doubts about the effectiveness of wearing a mask when in close contact with others as well, as he still refuses to wear one.
Somehow, I think if they did test positive for CV, that would not be made public knowledge.
The effectiveness of wearing a mask can be demonstrated. To not wear one is just plain stupid. It also sets a bad example for others too.
What?
OMG....Are you saying that Trump would actually ...tell a lie!
I'm shocked...shocked I tell you!
Exactly!
And wouldn't it be ironic if the person that Trump's valet caught the Virus from was actually Trump himself?
(Apparently Trump "is livid" that his staff is not protecting him from the Virus...talk about irony!)
Who, me? Never!
