I just thought it was his way to not appear with Drumph.....and when I heard the 2nd test was negative, I wasn't surprised

(1,725 posts)He's being very quiet about doing exactly the opposite of what Trump wants with COVID. He doesn't want to make an enemy of him, but he's working in that new 6-state consortium with Hogan and Whitmer (plus VA,LA,MA) to get kids safely back into school, and how to do it. Walking that tightrope.

He's not going to keep those lunatics on his side anyway, but he's surely trying.

(14,847 posts)... back then. So DeWine was obviously perpetuating "the lies" in their warped minds.
Pointing out how Italy and several other countries couldn't pull off such a mass conspiracy was useless. They were all narcissists like Trump imo, but to slightly less degrees.

(289 posts)when he doesn't even like Dewine? Isn't it possible that the Trump team just said that he tested positive for their own purposes. That way Trump could turn Covid against him in a mocking way and keep him from appearing at the airport arrival and facility tour. A positive test even if he is actually negative serves Trump. Did Dewine even see a medical report? Probably just was told about the results.
Dewine may suspect this since he proceeded to retest immediately and have follow up tests as well. If you believe the result you probably don't retest right away.

Or maybe chump's testers lied?
So hard to tell with repugs.

(57,073 posts)Both dewine & chump are repukes, so the reason has nothing to do with serving the public.
Aloha, Cha.

(110,950 posts)My hunch is that Trump did not want to meet with him and had him declared "positive".
Or vice-versa?
