During their historically disastrous press conference today, Mike Pence claimed he didn’t know whether Donald Trump had been tested for the coronavirus. This seemed more than a bit alarming, considering Trump has reportedly been exposed to it by at least three of his own congressional Republican allies.

This left the lingering question of whether or not Donald Trump has indeed been tested. Tonight, MSNBC confirmed that Trump has not been tested. This is stunning, yet not necessarily surprising. Trump is the kind of delusional buffoon who would merely try to convince himself that he can’t have been exposed, or that he’s magically healthy enough to beat it. Trump is also the kind of coward who would be afraid to dare to take a medical test; this guy has always feared going to legitimate doctors.

Not only is Donald Trump putting his own life at risk by not getting tested, he’s putting other people’s lives at risk as well. Other Republicans like Ted Cruz and Paul Gosar have quarantined themselves until the incubation period is over, so they won’t risk infecting anyone else. Trump is refusing to do the same. If he’s not willing to get tested, in public, by legitimate doctors, he needs to resign.
