One of US President Donald Trump’s personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus, kicking off an orgy of media speculation even as the White House struggled to clamp down on rumors about the president’s exposure.

The Trump valet, who serves in the US Navy, tested positive for the coronavirus on Wednesday after showing symptoms that morning, according to CNN, which reported the news on Thursday. The White House has confirmed the report, adding that both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence subsequently tested negative for the virus “and they remain in great health.”

CNN claimed the president was “upset” to learn of his valet’s diagnosis, citing an anonymous source, who claimed the news was “hitting the fan” in the White House. Trump and Pence, as well as the senior staff who regularly interact with them, are being tested weekly with the 15-minute Abbott Labs test, others familiar with the procedure told the outlet.

The social media rumor mill immediately began speculating as to who Trump might have “exposed” – never mind the White House’s insistence he was negative for Covid-19.

Others openly salivated at the prospect Trump might become infected.
