Donald Trump Jr on Wednesday night announced he was COVID free and will spend Thanksgiving with his family, just five days after announcing he had tested positive.
The Trumps have not confirmed their Thanksgiving plans. Last year, the whole family gathered at Mar-a-Lago.
In an Instagram video, he posed with girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and their Thanksgiving spread and told fans: ‘I got cleared, happy to be healthy and we get to spend Thanksgiving the way it’s mean to to be.
‘We weren’t sure if that was going to be the case so KG and I bought enough for probably a Thanksgiving for six or seven just for us and we’re doing that today, on Wednesday, as a little extra celebration,’ he said, which suggests he’ll be spending the holiday with the President – potentially at the White House.
In a video uploaded by Guilfoyle, he said: ‘Heading down to meet up with my family tomorrow- family the way it’s meant to be done.
In an Instagram video, he posed with girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and their Thanksgiving spread and told fans: ‘I got cleared, happy to be healthy and we get to spend Thanksgiving the way it’s mean to to be.
‘Really excited about that.’
The CDC is advising against mixing households or travel, with COVID cases and deaths spiking to the highest level seen since May.
On Friday night, Don Jr. took to Instagram to announce he had ‘the rona’.
It’s unclear when he contracted it. He was unphased by it and said he was ‘totally asymptomatic’.
Him being ‘cleared’ is reminiscent of when the President had it but refused to quarantine, claiming he had been told by doctors that he was not contagious.
In their videos, the pair showed off their turkey spread and joked it was enough for ‘six or seven people’
The CDC advice is that anyone who contracts COVID-19 has to quarantine for 14 days to completely clear it from their system.
In their video, Don. Jr and Guilfoyle showed off their impressive spread which they said was enough to feed ‘six or seven people’.
‘We got Turkey, stuffing, ravioli – KG made enough stuffing for about 97 people,’ he joked.
Guilfoyle chimed in: ‘Strawberry rhubarb pie. Don ate part of that already.’
Signing off, Don Jr. said: ‘We hope that you guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving and just a blessed weekend.’
The couple appeared to be at Guilfoyle’s Upper East Side apartment.
