NEW: Pres. Trump tested negative for coronavirus, according to a memorandum from his physician.

Here's the latest on the developing situation. All times Eastern. Please refresh this page for updates.President Donald Trump tested negative for coronavirus, according to a memorandum from his physician.

The announcement comes only a day after Louisiana postponed its April 4 presidential primary to June 20 over growing fears of the pandemic. It was the first state to change its presidential primary. The mayor said that the town's more than 41,000 residents should stay home, avoid interaction and assume that if they were to leave that they would become infected.With three more deaths in Washington state and the first reported deaths in Louisiana and Virginia, 57 Americans have now died because of the coronavirus.5:45 p.m. Severe restrictions put in place in European nations

This includes restaurants, cafes and cinemas, all of which will be closed until further notice. Places of worship will remain open, but religious gatherings will be postponed. Public transportation will continue, and municipal elections are still scheduled for Sunday. If conditions continue through March, it could erase as much as $120 billion, roughly 2.3%, in GDP, amounting to"a serious recession," Zandi said in a note to investors."And even this assumes nothing else breaks under the stresses the financial system and economy are now under."

"This colleague has NOT been in the store for the last two weeks and has NOT been in direct contact with colleagues or customers since experiencing symptoms," the company said. Churches, however, will remain open for private prayer and a private Mass will be livestreamed on the St. Patrick’s Cathedral website.

State Department personnel in Washington and overseas are also now permitted to telework and use"other workplace flexibilities," like rotational schedules and virtual meetings, according to the spokesperson -- joining other federal agencies in implementing contingency plans for its nearly 76,000 employees.Trump said on Saturday that he has taken a COVID-19 test and is awaiting the results.

Several photographers and reporters, including an ABC News reporter, saw him turned away outside the briefing room doors. That man, who declined to disclose his name or media outlet, was led away from the premises.

The same doctor who said he weighed far less than he actually did

Can we see proof? Prob not. Never can with this president.

Trump got tested and he got a hat.

BS

Kinda like his tax forms.....

Happy now? WhiteHouse

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Was it written in sharpie?

Nobody believes that shit!

ABC and the media in general sound very disappointed that Trump is negative for WuhanCoronavius

True he took the test or false he did not?

Good, I was starting to get worried for the virus.

Hard to believe. No, really - everything that this administration says is hard to believe. TrumpIsAMoron TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER TrumpLiesMatter

Pictures or it didn’t happen🤷‍♀️

wsoctv Did he have symptoms?

To bad for all you comminust hate filled liberals Democrats... You can scream now😹😹😹😹😹

Sure, Trump hasn't looked all that well lately. The problem with Trumps administration is that they'll lie to your face just as Trump will lie yo your face.

That quick results?

He's a 'Totally' trustworthy source.... He got any stock tips?

Don’t believe a damn word they say!

I don’t believe anything that comes from the WH

Son buenas noticias, el mismo caso del Bolsonaro que está libre de 'coronavirus'.

Who really cares about this test. Do you really believe, that you would be told the true result in case he was sick?

Another lie

Don't believe anything from the Whitehouse even Trump’s result

Why isn't positive?

ABC --- 'Damn it'

Great news

For once, I hope the White House is lying.

So it was the dems that created corona?...

Reminds me of Terminator 3. 'Trump is the VIRUS!'

They lie

Anyone who has Watched Kingdom season 2 on netflix would know the memo means nothing, right?

Sad

ABC....THE COMMUNISTS PROPAGANDA SOUCE...LIERS AT WORK armedforcesagainstliberals TrumpJew iowa_trump JohnKStahlUSA SKYRIDER4538 DiamondandSilk Brian_Sussman AnthemRespect HeyTammyBruce TomiLahren PatriotByGod DeAnna4Congress DevinNunes

He needs to rest a bit!

👍👍👍👍

Yeah but would they really tell us the truth not till it’s too late

Surprise surprise ... could he show the test results please?!

And?

I'd rather see the actual results report page... not reference to a memo.

Glad you was tested and it’s negative.

Really the guy has SOMETHING going on there...not very presidential in any aspect. Just my thought.

Crap

He's lying as always

And you believe the compulsive liar? Sure bro

If he tested positive would he tell anyone? Hell no.

Like they’d tell us if he did

Do you really believe that Did you see him today? He looks like shit!

the question is if he tested positive, would he tell us? Don’t believe them all😳

Guess Who Tested Him......

He will be positive for all diseases soon.

Dear leader is never sick.

I thought it was going to take a “couple of days”?

Trump wouldn't lie, would he?

He said he felt fine but all you nosy news people just had to know.....

Which means he took the test 5 days ago while proclaiming it a HOAX.

I can have my share of virus cash?

Should we care?

Fake test

Because if he tested positive you still wouldn’t tell us.

Too bad

Hmm, probably because he is too full of corruption, no room left for anything else, bad man & worse human

Test him again until you get it right

Second opinion

The coronavirus is going to pass in 2 or 3 months, but Trump will be here for 4 more years unless the voters decide to vaccinate against him and vote for a decent politician.

🤔🤔🤔🤔👎👎 We don’t believe this!!! Not at all, I mean you people lie about any and everything. So why not this

Big disappointment for the Democrats and their Media cohorts.

Hmmm...for everyone else, results take days to process. This is total BS. We will never really know if he has it. TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus coronavirus

That's good news. We do not want the President to be ill.

That's unfortunate. If he'd tested positive we could use that as an excuse for his idiocy.

Trump's real results are wuth his medical records & taxes!?!

Does anyone believe a thing that comes out of this Administration?

We beached our dingy on an uninhabited Florida Island to gather Spanish Moss because of the world toilet paper grab. We’re Sailing the Atlantic on our 36’ schooner. Avoid the plague. Stay healthy my friends.

Good. No matter a partisan belief, this illness is no joke. I feel very sorry for Canada and Spain PM’s wives. Wish them a speedy and uneventful recovery, in Christ’s name.

His physician, who we trust as far as we can throw a piano.

🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

The same one that said he wasn’t tested?

realdonaldtrump cnn nytimes bloomberg newsy That's good news! I guess flirting with death made Trump realize that it is time to ditch that racist MAGA hat for one that reflects a unified country. Not bad Donald we are making progress finally!

How did they get the results so quickly?

Wow the evil of you people.

If the Coronavirus is found inside Trump’s body it’ll be the one and only time I’ll feel sorry for the virus.

He should try again!

Eu duvido! Assim como o desgoverno do Brasil esse sujeito é irresponsável e mentiroso!

Was it written with a black Sharpie?

You have failed Coronavirus

First of all, it is a HIPA violation to ask someone to get a test, or ask for a result! Of course the liberals are the ones that break Federal law whenever it suits their agenda. Shame on all of you that wish bad things to happen to others. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord.

Why should we believe anything that comes from this liar’s mouth

Bull$hit

by which test kit ?

Wasn’t he just tested? I thought it took a couple days to get results

Doesn’t Acosta look stupid now, for asking all those idiotic questions. Has Acosta been tested?

Show us the tax return!😤 I mean.. lab results!🤨😅😬😇🤭

Trump💪💪💪💪

The same physician that said just last night that Trump’s exposure was minimal and so, there was no need for testing. Today they say he was tested last night and results were negative.?🤷‍♂️

Is this the same guy that said he was in perfect health when he was elected? lol

Lies, lies, Trump needs to be re-tested or if doesn't, then impeached.

Everybody on that stage has probably got the virus... not helping much!

unfortunately I can't believe this information either way

Damn it!

More latter! Peace on the world

dianermacedo I mean, it’s still a 50/50 question...hard to trust anything you hear from his administration... Dr. Ronny Jackson stood before the pool and said he was 6’3” 239 pounds, the only man alive to get taller the older he gets... and 239 pounds, HA HA HA HA...what a joke!

Was there permanent marker cross outs on that report? Hiyooo! 😆 Kidding but he is a compulsive liar. TwitterNYC

How the test come back so fast...I don't believe this at all.

Nope. He’s lying

Damn

📌

Why should we believe this? They are proven liars. We want to see the actual test results.

Are we sure he took the test and that the physician isn’t lying like his patient? If he took it, it was only to change the story back to all the greatest moves he has taken to fight the pandemic. Travel bans aren’t saving lives in Washington!

Y’all know what’s NEGATIVE too A bunch of 401k’s.

Dems live in a alternate universe, they wish illness on people , morons

He told you!!

Now you know. Please do not bring it up again.

Another disappointing news for the left. Hahaha!! MAGA

realDonaldTrump lies about any and everything! As well as the people around him. Alternative facts!

The people of the United States must read

There is a saying Spanish that God doesn’t the the bad people which explains why 45 is still here

More than likely a paid for lie.

Next he will say he will voluntarily self quarantine as a precaution and cuz of the media. Mark my words. This will be cuz he’s lying about his results.

It takes a few days for finding out. He’s a liar

They need to try again!!

Another stupid question

Why does he insist on wearing that silly hat indoors? Bad hair day?

BoomerRemover

Interesting since MSNBC said it will take a few days for the results. Trump says he has taken the coronavirus test

EricQuiz2096 Has CNN Seen This ? 🤔

Trump will never be sick as long he listens to God the Democrat party on the other hand and those who refuse to listen or believe in the son of God Jesus Christ are not exempt from being sick you can call me liear can call me crazy it is what it is

Democrats are like

Then what was wrong with him at the 3:30 live, he couldn’t breathe, way worse than usual🥴

And...the Leftists go nuts. He is fine! Get over it! Get a life.

The virus did org from a Soros Bio Lab in Wuhan. It infected 6 lab workers accidentally and they unknowingly spread the virus into Wuhan. But it also infected top people from another country that were present at the lab. follow the virus infection time line for clues COVID19

Shame.

Thanks God realDonaldTrump is negative for the virus. I hope VP Pence and the rest of the Covid19 team will be free from this virus. I’m not a Trump guy but this is good news. JoeBiden 2020👍

Sir.. please stay away from people for a few weeks... please! Americans love you and need you! You have given SO much to us already. I don’t want you to give your life also! 😌

I’ll believe it when the honorable democrats like madam president pelosi says he’s negative.

Bummer

Did you really expect them to say anything different? 🙄

He also tested NEGATIVE for compassion, intelligence, diligence, honesty, truth telling, accepting blame, modesty, self-deprecating humor, loyalty, morality, ethics, righteousness, dignity, honor, trustworthiness & principles

Fake news

Do you honestly believe they’d admit if he’d tested positive after boozing it up with the Brazilians at a fancy party at Mar largo on the tax payer dime? Really? We’re you expecting the truth?

Doc_JJK The Left right now.

He is a Liar Liar pants on fire.

*Chinese virus

Isn’t there a two week incubation period?!?

It this the same Dr that said he was 6’3”... 250lbs... and fit... yeah.... right... 😉😉

Have they told the truth? Constant lying.

Sure.

Lies

BS.

wsoctv POTUS praise God your healthy thank you for all you do!

Grow up people

The comments section right now...

This test results are questionable

While your at it, should take a couple more tests.

Sure.....

Guestimate 1 of 3 Americans (max) believe anything coming out of his or his admin. Experts: 5 days avg b4 you even show symptoms-after becoming infected-and all the while U can infect others. Moreover, they say 2 complete tests, spaced a minimum of 24 hours apart, are needed. BS

He probably cheated! 😬🤥🤡

President Trump was tested and is negative!

Poor ABC News. I am sure this is bad news for you.

Same guy who looked in a crystal ball in 2019 and declared definitively that our obese president would be in very good health pretty much for the rest of his life? That guy?

Fake news!! CoronavirusUSA COVIDー19 coronavirus

This guy?

Glad you are not infected. Keep doing a great job for America

If they are not lying

This is a lie

The guy that has been in contact with at least 3 confirmed cases?

That’s a hoax

Hoax

Because covid-19 is a cover up, you can’t get it unless you have taken Adrenochrome which is only taken as a drug... the storm is coming

Well duh, Lizards dont get Coronavirus.

Show U.S. the memorandum!

wsoctv Tough break for the media.

If he just got the test, how did the cultures come back so fast? They say it takes 24 to 36 hours for the test?

Maybe, he gets it in the future nobody is safe

Remains symptom free isn’t exactly the same as “tested negative.”

Why do I not trust this....

AlgiersLady Second opinion!

You believe him? LOL TrumpPlague TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks

Everyone else is getting sick except him. I guess his drs need to publish the lists of uppers and downers and other meds he's taking to see if it's something other elderly people can use to combat viruses.

POTUS Anybody believe them? Didn't think so. The physician needs to show certified proof since he is a Donny puppet.

Can you hear it? It's the sound of millions of liberals sobbing. So funny.

Wonder if he the rest of the WH tested?

Bull.....SHIT!

Now how bout a second test from a non-partisan doctor. Not Trump's personal doc, but a regular, everyday family practitioner. Trump can tell his personal doc to say anything, so lets bring in a third party doc & ck out those results.

Now do the press pool

We know this to be a lie

Bullshit. He’s rotting right in front of the world. realDonaldTrump

For everyone saying they don’t believe the test. Say he’s positive but with mild symptoms. What’s your point What are you all hoping for

Who believes anything coming from that posse anyway...

I you really think they’d start telling the truth? After all the surgeon general claimed Trump is the hardest working and most healthiest person he’s met.

The President tested negative.

Such liars

Liar

It doesn’t matter what he does or doesn’t do. If he gave everyone a million dollars you’d all bitch that it wasn’t 2. If he cured cancer you’d say he was homophobic for not curing AIDS. If he ended child poverty you’d all say he doesn’t care about the elderly.

Dear media and the crazy left...

That’s right, it was probably “a perfect” test OR phone call,,,,

Damn 😒

Hahhhaa who believe that

Must have been all Nancys prayers

Do not believe it

Anyone who had the thought “is this true?”, we can’t trust him. It never mattered if he took the test. We can trust him or anyone around him.

Considering the lack of credibility that has become the hallmark of the White House on every level, we're just going to treat him as if he's carrying smallpox, k?

I’ll bet there are a lot of Democrats and people in the media that are disappointed.

Ya that was paid...... I guarantee he paid them to say he doesn't have the virus

Not sure I believe it.

Hmmm...sounds more like he's concerned about Mar-a-Largo being quarantined now.

Yeah, sure... okay.

Great, now media stfu

He likely didn't get tested and it's just more lies to try to cover up yesterday's criticism. He's showing symptoms of something. We all see it.

It’s time to make the media and China pay the price for this attack on the USA

I don't buy it. Too many lies.

This is fake news 😂

Fool the Press once, shame on the Trumpery. Fool the Press 16K plus TIMES, Shame on You & they play you all with the COVID19, again. this 'result' was timed for the National Nightly News and the Sunday Shows. Instead of the Calamity that.realDonaldTrump has imposed on the US

ABC reporter pressured him to get the test and he did, now divisive liberals can shut up!

What a shame

Trump is anti-coronavirus..

Bots are out in full force. He will be very ill soon. Notice he doesn't stay on camera much lately.

That doesn't makes since I rather the government have a doctor tested for him.

Now dems are like

He’s also 6’3”, 238 lbs and will live to be 200

Just more of their never ending lies!

And this test completes phases 2 & 3 of his physical

I bet he isn’t seen in public for 14 days.

Even the corona virus doesn’t want him 😂

This is upsetting some butt-hurt liberals.

With all those infected handshakes

I am sure it is true.

Some of the comments on here are JUST disgusting. Wishing Death on a sitting President? SMH.. I could NOT stand BO, still can't, but NEVER EVER did I wish illness or death on him. YOU ppl are truly disgusting and Karma is a BITCH.

Ok. I’ll give you this one. But don’t count on it happening again

Everyone needs to look at this as a good thing. Not BC big orange man is negative, but because it means that’s it’s not guaranteed that you will get infected if you have close proximity to someone who is highly contagious. Still doesn’t mean he ‘doesn’t know him’ tho

Doc make sure that you can lose your job on that...

No one believes whatever comes from the white house Trump probably never took the test

Washing your hands is safe, Go to Listen, to Ways to Avoid Many Kinds of Health Problems Shown Then Enroll to Give Your Body the Attention That's Needed to Safely Protect Your Body From Viruses

Why is it I don’t believe it!

Prove it

Why should I believe the liar-in-chief?

That doesn’t mention a test. It seems to indicate that he proceeded with nothing other than the discussion, and then says he “remains symptom free”. It’s meaningless.

Why do I have a hard time believing this

Or so the paid off doc says .... believable? Not really.

Liar 🤥.

Tanning beds are the antidote

ABC he test negative. You have become a horrible propaganda network. It is no wonder nobody believes the media.

I wouldn’t trust them for a million bucks. They lie.

TinaMarie_80s Whatever. No one believes anything this administration says.

Does anyone believe that he is telling the truth? Until I see the data I won’t believe what comes out of his mouth. ReleaseTheReport

No one believes anything he says.

Trump is in the very best health again *sarcasm*

How nice that he could actually get a test. What about the rest of the United States?

As if this administran would actually tell you that he tested positive.

I guess we’ll have to wait until his smirk drops off.

Was he tested for moronavirus though?

What's it? A new brand of toilet paper?!

Love the snowflake parade 😂😂

Shame. Well, there’s still time.

GOD BLESS realDonaldTrump AND SCREW THOSE OF YOU WHO WISHED HE HAD IT. SHAME ON YOU

Of course he did.

Of course he did, he's superhuman... 🙄🙄

Trump must be immune to the virus all the affected people he was around shaking hands.

FakeNews

He is so alpha he probably had it and beat it already.

Is this the same doctor that claimed Trump only weighs 239 lbs?

Am I the only one calling bullshit on this? The timeline doesn’t work. His personal doctor said just this morning that he didn’t need the test. He said earlier he would take “soon.” Then it would be a “few days” for the results. And then now, negative? Hours later? WTF?!

They lie so much who really knows

I call bulls**t.

Cofefe!

Since when, have we ever wish that the president of the USA was ill. What kind of country has he and Fox News created. What kind of people have we become?

Yeah right

Next to impossible to believe anything that comes out of this administration. Show us the test results.

Not just negative, the most negative in the history of negatives. It’s a record setting negative. Many people are saying they can’t believe how negative.

Too bad

Does anyone believe this? I don’t believe he even had the test

He should release the results/transcript

EXCELLENT!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This is most certainly a lie.

yea right ,and moons made of cheese?

Rats, can he try again? Maybe a few more hand shakes?

Yup.

I'd like to see that result with my own eyeballs 👀

Everyone saying it's a lie about the results here. Wouldn't we be able to see this deadly disease taking control of the 70+ year old man? Maybe a cough or two considering how deadly it is?

And he's also in tip-top shape, weighs 175 lbs. soaking wet — what else?

DO NOT TRUST WHAT THE WHITE HOUSE SAY THEY ARE LYING ABOUT NOT HAVING CORONAVIRUS

I wonder if that Doctor's note cost more or less than the Doctor's note he received which allowed him to avoid being drafted into the military?

Man darf nicht vergessen dass die Inkubationszeit bis zu 14 Tage dauern kann. Es kann also sein dass der Test zu früh war.

No one should trust this test.Trump & administration wouldn’t know the truth if it slammed into them head on. Trumps patern is to lie & isn’t to be honest.

His physician said he weighed 239 pounds and was in great shape....

Lies. But whatever. Let’s just hope the virus puts in work 💪😉

Oh shit, I had hopes he did 😏

I don't believe a word from his physician or him, what is this doctor's specialty? Dental?

I’ll wait to see if he gets sick before I believe it. Rule of thumb: everything trump says is a lie.

Let’s find out the test results of these illegal immigrants Democrats are letting in by preventing the wall completion. FinishTheWall shutdown Sanctuary Cities. Have you ever seen a homeless Chinese person?
