The guests arrived for President Donald Trump's high-dollar fundraiser at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, New Jersey, on Thursday afternoon in motor coaches and were ushered into a large, open courtyard for a buffet lunch and pumpkin cheesecake.
Golfers participating in a club invitational peered in from nearby, and the growing crowd bristled with excitement as Marine One swept in with the guest of honor.
The roughly 100 campaign supporters who paid up to $250,000 to attend had no idea that the president had recently been exposed to the novel coronavirus and would soon test positive. One day later, New Jersey health officials are trying to locate those who attended in case anyone shook hands or snapped photos with Trump.
"He made some jokes, he looked fine, he was happy, he was laughing, he was funny," said Katherine Hermes, a member of the club who paid $2,600 for a ticket and went with her husband. "I was flabbergasted when I woke up this morning. He looked perfectly healthy."

You're a Fucking Idiot. But since you only paid $2,500, you probably didn't get within 20 feet of him, so you'll be fine.

He knew about Hope Hicks before he went, didn't he? Money is more important, though.
