Donald Trump just had a humiliating senile moment in front of the cameras
When Donald Trump went in front of the TV cameras today and announced that Mike Pence’s press secretary Katie Miller had tested positive for coronavirus, he appeared to commit a serious HIPAA violation. That was bad enough. When Trump began trying to explain how he thinks medical tests work, it turned into a humiliating senile incident for him.
Donald Trump said that Katie Miller tested very good for a long period of time and then all of the sudden today she tested positive.” He went on to explain why he thought this was evidence that testing isn’t “necessarily great.” In so doing, Trump definitely gave away that he thinks it’s suspicious that someone would test negative for a virus and then later test positive.
Donald Trump also appeared to suggest that he thinks the act of testing someone is what makes them contagious; and that if you never test someone, it means they don’t have the virus. This is senile even by Trump’s standards. When you place this within the context of Trump’s other recent senile on-camera moments, it’s the latest evidence that his cognitive decline is growing worse by the day.
