Photo opp of a lifetime turns into cautionary tale: Charles Kolean was thrilled to take a photo with President Trump last week after the 25-year-old won a Republican fund-raising contest. That elation soon turned to shock

REUTERS/Sarah SilbigerOn Monday, the member of the Dallas Young Republicans was isolating at home to avoid potentially spreading the coronavirus after his exposure to Trump who tested positive last week, a day after the donors’ event.
Kolean was among about 60 VIPs, out of a guest list of around 200 people, at Thursday’s event at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. Guests typically donated between $5,600 to $250,000 to Trump’s presidential re-election bid to get an invitation. They nibbled on small bites of steak and lamb passed on trays by waiters wearing masks and gloves.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Monday called the event reckless because Trump knew Hope Hicks, a top adviser who accompanied him to Cleveland for a presidential debate earlier last week, had tested positive for the virus. New Jersey officials asked people who had been at Thursday’s event to self-quarantine and get tested, but their response was a “mixed bag,” Murphy said at a news conference.
