Nick Luna
Nick Luna was an aide to President Donald Trump.[1] In 2020 he served as one of Trump's "body men". For his predecessors months or years as a "body man" was a prelude to a promotion to a much more prestigious job.
He attracted widespread attention in October 2020 when he was one of the first of Trump's aides to be diagnosed with the Covid 19 virus.[1] Eventually over three dozen of Trump's close aides and associates were diagnosed with Covid, including Trump himself, his wife, Melania Trump, and youngest child Barron Trump.[2]
Luna recovered.[2]
On December 18, 2020, Trump appointed Luna and Rudy Giuliani's son, Andrew Giuliana, to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council.[3]
In January 8, 2021, Annie Karni, writing in The New York Times, listed Luna as one of the few Trump aides who seemed ready to continue serving him, to the bitter end.[1]
