A Dishonorable Discharge can be imposed only by a general court-martial. For a court-martial, there has to be a crime. Unless it can be shown that the sailor valet knew he was carrying the virus and intentionally attempt to infect others, there is no crime.

I thought you meant what should we do with Trump if he gets infected. I would say use all of "Dr. Trump's" own advice on Trump.

Yes, the valet definitely deserves a medal of some kind, in that case.

what's to be done would depend on which one it is.
They both deserve much different treatment than the other.
One should be hung and the other should have anything he wants.

After learning that one of his valets was infected, Trump became "lava level mad" at his staff and said he doesn't feel it is doing all it can to protect him, according to a person close to the White House.

The source said the unknowingly infected valet was consistently close to the president throughout the day. Trump publicly disputed that Thursday, telling reporters that he'd had "very little contact, personal contact, with this gentleman."


You lie.

The president that the White House would be increasing testing from weekly to daily, but he added that "testing is not a perfect art." Trump also said he and Pence tested negative on Wednesday and Thursday.

"So we test once a week. Now we're going to go testing once a day," he said during an Oval Office photo opportunity with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. "But even when you test once a day, somebody could — something happens where they catch something."


No shit, Sherlock. Figured that out all on your own, did you?

When I saw the thread title I was preparing a serious response about the lack of care shown by the White House and their callousness about the safety of others, and how this is just the problem coming home to roost.

I would say Medal of Freedom definitely, we'd have to see how rapidly the world improves after the flaming asshole bites the dust to discuss a "Noble" Prize.
