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.

... when he was the first governor to shut down the schools.

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

... 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.

Anything could be possible here, but I think that tests (some of?) have been shown to be pretty unreliable.

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.

Both dewine & chump are repukes, so the reason has nothing to do with serving the public.

My hunch is that Trump did not want to meet with him and had him declared "positive".

Or vice-versa?
