唐纳德·特朗普小新冠肺炎检测呈阳性。
总统的长子，42岁，是继巴伦·特朗普上个月确诊后，第二个检测出病毒呈阳性的孩子。
“唐在本周初检测呈阳性，自结果以来一直在他的船舱里隔离，”小特朗普的发言人说。"到目前为止，他完全没有症状，并且遵循所有医学上推荐的新冠肺炎指南."
唐纳德·特朗普总统本人新冠肺炎检测呈阳性10月1日，一天后在沃尔特·里德医疗中心住院。阳性检测是白宫爆发疾病的一部分，其中包括对第一夫人的阳性检测梅兰妮·特朗普巴伦、前顾问凯利恩·康威、白宫新闻秘书凯莉·麦克纳尼和其他几个人。
高级顾问霍普·希克斯是首先检测阳性在总统的轨道上。
7月初，当总统在拉什莫尔山举行活动时，小特朗普的女朋友金伯利·吉尔福伊尔(Kimberly Guilfoyle)的病毒检测呈阳性。当时，小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的病毒检测呈阴性，但为了预防起见，他自我隔离，并取消了几项竞选活动。

总统的儿子一直淡化冠状病毒大流行的严重性，即使他的父亲被诊断出患有冠状病毒。
在10月30日接受福克斯新闻采访时，他说死于这种疾病的人“几乎没有”
“为什么他们不谈死亡?”他告诉主持人劳拉·英格拉哈姆。“这个数字几乎不算什么，因为我们已经获得了控制权，并且了解它是如何运作的。我们有治疗方法来解决这个问题。”
此前一周，美国有5600多人死于新冠肺炎病毒。在接下来的几周里，随着中国处理第三波案件，这些数字才开始上升。上周美国有8461人死亡，根据合作追踪项目，这是自5月以来一周内最多的一次。
小唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump Jr .)还宣扬了一个毫无根据的阴谋，即药品制造商将疫苗结果的公布推迟到选举日之后——他的父亲在周五的新闻发布会上再次提出了这一说法。
Donald Trump Jr. tests positive for COVID-19
Donald TrumpJr. has tested positive for COVID-19.
The president's eldest son, 42, is the second of his children to test positive for the virus, following Barron Trump's diagnosis last month.
"Don tested positive at the start of the week and has been quarantining out at his cabin since the result," a spokesperson for Trump Jr. said. "He’s been completely asymptomatic so far and is following all medically recommended COVID-19 guidelines."
President Donald Trump himselftested positive for COVID-19on Oct. 1, and was hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center one day later. The positive test was part of an outbreak of the disease at the White House, which included positive tests for first ladyMelania Trump, Barron, former adviser Kellyanne Conway, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and several others.
Senior adviser Hope Hicks was thefirst to test positivein the president's orbit.
Trump Jr.'s girlfriend, Kimberly Guilfoyle, tested positive for the virus in early July when the president was holding an event at Mount Rushmore. At the time, Donald Trump Jr. tested negative for the virus but self-isolated as a precaution and canceled several campaign events.
The president's son has consistently downplayed the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, even after his father was diagnosed.
In an interview with Fox News on Oct. 30, he said deaths from the disease were "almost nothing."
"Why aren't they talking about deaths?" he told host Laura Ingraham. "The number's almost nothing because we've gotten control and we understand how it works. We have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this."
Those comments came the week after more than 5,600 people in the U.S. died from the COVID-19. Those numbers have only gone up in the resulting weeks as the country deals with a third wave of cases. There were 8,461 deaths in the U.S. last week,according to The COVID Tracking Project, the most in a week since May.
Donald Trump Jr. has also touted the baseless conspiracy that drug manufacturers delayed the announcement of vaccine results until after Election Day -- a claim his father made again during a press conference on Friday.
