"I just heard about this. She tested positive. She's a hard worker. A lot of masks. She wears masks a lot. But she tested positive. I just went out with a test. The first lady also went out with a test. So whether we quarantine or whether we have it, I don't know .... So I just went for a test and we'll see what happens. Who knows."<br /><br />He added, "She's fantastic and she's done a great job. But it's very, very hard when you're with people from the military and law enforcement and they want to hug you and kiss you ... I was surprised to hear about Hope, but she's a very warm person ... She knows there is a risk. But she is young. I went out for test and the first lady also, because we spent a lot of time with Hope. So we'll see what happens."
