While on the phone with the aide, McEnany asked if Trump knew the results of the test, but they didn’t know. Additionally, the team was waiting on the results of a PCR to determine if it was a false positive. “Was I learning this information before President Trump?” McEnany wrote that she asked herself at the time, a feeling she described as “total and complete disbelief.”

Despite her encouraging words, McEnany wrote in her memoir that she was “genuinely scared” for Trump following his diagnosis as “a boss and friend whom I grew to know and love.” “To me, this was not just the president of the United States testing positive and being transported to a hospital,” she wrote. 

Who exactly could have been exposed to COVID-19 due to Donald Trump remains unclear, but it seems that those close to him will continue to add to the information available.
