Trump Jr. tests positive for virus
NEW YORK— Donald Trump Jr. has tested positive for the coronavirus.
A spokesperson for the U.S. president’s eldest son confirmed the infection that has hammered the White House recently, even infecting the president last month.
The 42-year-old scion, who frequently makes public appearances without a mask, is in isolation in his cabin.
“Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result,” the spokesperson said.
“He’s been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines.”
Trump Jr. shared an online meme in July that appeared to mock wearing masks as a preventive measure. It included a photo of workers in haz-mat suits and read “Don’t worry, though. Your bandana probably works too.”
His girlfriend, Kim Guilfoyle, tested positive for coronavirus over the July 4 weekend. Guilfoyle tweeted Thursday her trademark saying “The best is yet to come!”
That tweet included a pair of hands praying. The president, who is busily trying to overturn the results of the election, has not commented on his namesake’s diagnosis.
