At this point I have to wonder if there is an ulterior motive for this. Maybe to try to get sympathy in the polls? excuse to get out of the next debate? is it so he can now go: see, no big deal, I had it and it was nothing. Or, I guess, the president wouldn't lie about this sort of thing.
In all seriousness though - is this really reality where the President of the United States just mocked his opponent earlier in the week in a debate for wearing masks and bragged that he didn't need to since his testing procuderes and security was super, super the best now has tested positive for COVID. Really?
