Trump tested positive for Covid-19 three days before his first debate against Biden, Mark Meadows reveals a year later. https://t.co/vsY1528Kto

“Renfield” Meadows’ book has been in process for a while now, so probably it’s a coincidence that suddenly “Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows is cooperating with the House select committee investigating the January 6 riot and is providing records”. Just another example of Murphy the Trickster God’s lazy scripting…
Remember the sense of shock when Trump admitted he was Covid positive and then was rushed to Walter Reed 18 hours later? Patients don't usually go downhill that fast. Well, on the Meadows timeline, his hospitalization (six days later) makes a lot more sense.

A day after he secretly tested positive for Covid, Trump went on to attend an event with Gold Star families, who he then later suggested had given *him* the virus because he couldn’t observe social distancing when “they want to hug me and kiss me.” https://t.co/YX0jfySHIf

Mark Meadows book says although he knew the candidates were required to test negative for coronavirus within 72 hours of the debate start time, nothing was going to stop Trump from going.
Trump tested negative via a different test shortly after positive test, Meadows writes. https://t.co/0imYIPkbGH

remember when Trump refused to get tested right before debate bc he “arrived late” and debate organizers relied on “honor system”? https://t.co/lQIjuwwclM

It's undeniable. He hid his infection, conspired with others to lie about testing, and spent the whole debate screaming spittle as far as he could in Biden's direction.
He was trying to win by biological warfare. https://t.co/p7KJqxci9K

TFG wasn't just trying to get Joe Biden sick at that debate. His entire family showed up unmasked and refused to put one on. They were trying to take out everybody in that room.

TFG’s lost at least one fan among the DC Press Corpse…
Hours after he received the call from Meadows informing him of a positive test, Trump came to the back of AF1 without a mask and talked with reporters for about 10 minutes. I was wearing a mask, but still got COVID, testing positive several days later. https://t.co/NJLINb6cLN

I’ve been told by former officials that Meadows in fact never told staff in Trump’s immediate circle to treat him as if he was positive for Covid.

Psaki on Trump's positive Covid-19 test before Biden debate: "We were not aware of the report that went out this morning in advance, no."

Best possible response, IMO:
"I don't think about the former president," Biden says when asked if Trump put him at risk for coronavirus during the presidential debate last year.
