DON JR. TESTS POSITIVE

-

Donald Trump Jr. has tested positive for coronaviru­s. A spokespers­on for the 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 spokesman said. “He’s been completely asymptomat­ic so far and is following all medically recommende­d COVID-19 guidelines.”

Trump Jr. (above) shared an online meme in July that appeared to mock wearings masks as a preventive measure. It included a photo of workers in hazmat 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 busy trying to overturn the results of the election, has not commented on his namesake’s diagnosis.

Trump Jr. was active on Twitter and campaign texts on Friday, but had not mentioned his coronaviru­s diagnosis by Friday evening.

He was criticized heavily in late October for saying the COVID-19 mortality rate had “gone to almost nothing” on a day 1,000 deaths were reported.

White House liaison assistant Andrew Giuliani, the son of the president’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, also announced Friday he had tested positive for the spreading pandemic that has killed more than 250,000 Americans and continues to spread out of control.

Rudy Giuliani went into self-isolation on Friday, according to CNN Brian Niemietz
