    ok first, there was no requirement to be tested.
    Secondly, Trump showed up between 3-5pm. Biden showed up 2 hours before the debate. (7pm)
    Neither Biden or Trump tested at the clinic.

    There are those who have false assumptions (Trump was required to test before the debate) are using this as evidence Trump was covering it up. Initially, I stated Trump was capable of claiming to be sick when he wasn't, so I also feel he could have known he was sick before the debates. These are not even assumptions but merely a reflection of what kind of person I believe Trump to be. However I am not going to go around making these claims w/out any significant evidence. Many people displays COVID 'symptoms' everyday. A couple coughs or a sneeze are not signs of infection.

    Unless someone with authority comes out and specifically states the accusation, we shouldn't be dwelling on the topic.

    The only logic is he would have been extremely confident in winning

    That being said Trump truly believes he is smarter than everyone so itn that since its logical

    No idea but I definitely know people who wouldn’t hesitate to walk around with a positive diagnosis. Trump easily fits the profile so worth the exploration.

    There seems to be some discrepancy about everyone not being tested.

    https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/n...dures-after-trump-tests-positive-for-covid-19

    I heard one of the reporters saying they were told that everyone in the hall had tested negative. Then she finds out now that wasn't the case.

    I'm just curious where you found out your information.

    What if he knew and was hoping Biden would catch it?

    That took waaay. Appropriate its from you. Honestly i thought the O.P. would suggest it.

    Trump is shielded from any speculation because it showed up in the others as well approximately the same time

    Edit: waay too long

    OK, my mistake.

    That's fine. No need to really dwell on it without further evidence. But I don't think the chances that this in fact happened is all that remote, however. The President is, I would guess, tested on a daily basis, or at least close to that. There was a gathering before the debate where apparently a number of people caught it. And his doctor was apparently asked when was the last time he tested negative, and he was unwilling to answer the question. So, I think it's absolutely fair to be suspicious about this.

    Chris Wallace said each debate camp was responsible for testing themselves: "the honor system."
    He also said, they arrived too late to be tested on site.

    I am not buying he knew he had COVID Tuesday or at a minimum showed symptoms. Energy wasn’t an issue for Trump at the debate... if anything he was wired.

    Yeah there definitely seems to be some confusion with the timeline. I'm curious what Chris Wallace knew.

    Does this classify as public information?
