So.

[sheshe2]

The WH has become a hotspot and they are going cray cray. The prezzie had a fit the other day, bellowed, as only a blowhard can, and blamed his staff for not doing enough to protect his precious self from a hoax virus. Pretty sure you were the one that swore on a bible to protect us at all cost, you failed. Fact is, none of us swore on a bible to protect you over the rest of us. He clearly told the nation it was a Democratic hoax, only 15 dead and would be down to zero in a few days. It was under control.

Now we have three people in the West Wing testing positive. All personal assistants of trump, mikie and ivankie. All with full access to trump and every part of the west wing. They have all been exposed.

Funny, daily testing at the WH is now mandatory because Donnie feels threatened by a hoax. He's scared. The other day he poo pooed the idea that we needed more testing for Americans, because it makes us, in his words, look weak. Who looks weak now Donnie, that would be you that are being tested daily.

Amazing, from the man that called it all a Democratic hoax that would make him look bad. Only now he is insisting that staff and visitors all wear masks...everyone but him. Frankly that says it all. I can and will infect you all. You, we, me are disposable.

1. Who is the third one?

Melania sure was smart, moving herself and the child to Maryland with her parents, getting him out of the cess pool White House.

[sheshe2]

3. Someone connected to Ivanka.

If I remember correctly a personal assistant...un-named.

No worries though, it is a hoax.

[csziggy]

10. On a thread here, Ivanka's personal assistant was mentioned as being positive

Here is a source:

Trump sought a reopening but found the virus in the White House instead

By Kevin Liptak, CNN

Ivanka Trump's personal assistant also tested positive for coronavirus, a source familiar told CNN on Friday night, although she has been teleworking for nearly two months and has not been around the President's daughter in several weeks.

[dawg day]

11. Newsweek-- can't find the link- also said a second Pence aide tested positive.

That'll give Trump even more reason to insult and degrade his VP.

[csziggy]

12. What we do know is that there will be more testing postive in the WH

Should we make BINGO cards with staffer's faces, or would that be insensitive?

[Canoe52]

22. I've run out of fucks to give, let's do it!

[csziggy]

24. In honor of your response

[Canoe52]

35. What a treat! Never heard this before, thanks!

[DENVERPOPS]

37. Only if

we were able to mark them out with a big "X" in the shape of a tombstone........

Wouldn't that be grand. Every night banging on pans outside when one of them.............

[Trueblue Texan]

30. Stephen Miller's wife..

Was the 2nd one

[sheshe2]

15. Thanks, csziggy.

Not surprised ivanka is distancing herself from the hoax.

[DENVERPOPS]

38. Sadly, if all the secret service gets sick

Lardass, Jared, Trailer Trash Barbie, and all the other self important RepubliCON's would not be able to travel, or circle the world grifting for lack of a protective detail.......

[Jamastiene]

2. OH YES! I got to be the one to send this off to the Greatest Page.

I love it when a post resonates with me and when I click to DU Rec button, it takes it to 5. Off to the Greatest Page with this post.
Safe, virtual

[sheshe2]

6. thanks my dear.

love ya.

[mopinko]

4. nicole wallace was talking about this today.

about how pissed he was that his staff "didnt protect him", and she said- how do you think we all feel about you?

[sheshe2]

7. I am so glad Nicole said that.

What about us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has done NOTHING TO PROTECT US!

[DENVERPOPS]

39. All the intelligent women

need to be attacking him daily, unrelentlessly. We all know how he loves criticism, especially from smart women.
He would have a giant aneurism over their comments..........

[Caliman73]

5. I am not disposable. Trump certainly is.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I have a specific job that not many people do. Certainly people wanting to put the effort into the education and training can learn to do my job, but not many do.

Trump is completely disposable however. He thinks that he is not but I would say that while the Presidency is a serious job, Trump is not a serious person and the way that he has been doing the job has demeaned it so that many many people would be able to do a better job than him. Based on many of the responses here, I would argue that a large chunk of regular posters/respondents on DU would do a better job. Again, at the risk of sounding arrogant, I would be my house that I would do a way better job being President than Trump would of doing my job. He is an idiot. He has little human value. He adds nothing good to the world. He just needs to go away.

[sheshe2]

8. +1000

[brer cat]

9. He no longer has a safe place to shelter. Sad.

Maybe he should have worked on this sooner...like in Jan or Feb.

[sheshe2]

14. He knew in November.

Now whines the shelves were left bare by Obama and in three years never restocked, no PPE. Oh, we had no ammunition either the cupboards were bare. not a bullet to be found.

Never my fault, I am treated worse than Lincoln...…I will stop here. I can't say what I am thinking.

[DENVERPOPS]

21. He's going to hide out at Camp David this weekend

While they do an all out, thorough cleaning and sterilization at the White House???????????

[littlemissmartypants]

26. I wonder if that includes cleaning the ductwork.

Can't be too careful with an airborne virus. Will they create negative pressure space and put Covid 45 in a bubble? That I would pay to see.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

31. Correction: airborne hoax. The Cowardly Con Man said it was a hoax.

[littlemissmartypants]

33. Still, how hilarious would it be

to see his sloppy, afraid of stairs, slob ass rolling around and falling in that bubble?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

34. Thanks! I needed that laugh.

He wouldn't be able to control it or himself. Stream that live and the whole world could get some relief.

13. I'm suffering from Trump Traumatic Stress Disorder.

[sheshe2]

16. Me too.

[Niagara]

17. Also 11 positive cases in the Secret Service, 60 other WH staffers in quarentine

I have no idea if the same Secret Service staff stays assigned to Wuhan Don or if they're rotated around with Joe Biden. Does anyone here know how that works?


When I was a lunch lady I mainly worked at a middle school, but there were days where other schools were short staffed and I and other co-workers needed to be at a elementary or high school. We didn't always work in the same school or around the same people on the daily.

[DENVERPOPS]

42. I think

they are assigned a specific "Detail". I remember when it was reported that seven SS agents resigned because the SS wouldn't re-assign them from Jenna Bush's Detail. She would intentionally screw with them and then call daddy bush and he would call the head of the SS and get them in trouble.

I also had the opportunity to talk to a couple of members of Jimmy Carter's SS detail a few years back. They told me that that Detail was the absolute best in the SS because he treated them with complete respect and thanked them Daily.......The SS agents also told me that no matter where they escorted him, he made sure they had sit down meals, (in shifts) and other nice considerations......

I can only imagine how Trump's detail talks about him behind his back. Trump, Jared, Trailer Trash Barbie, and many others in this administration included.

[doc03]

18. I heard this on CNN earlier today a doctor said that Trump is

in the high risk group for the COVID him being 74 years old and obese.

[smirkymonkey]

19. And hypertensive, and a drug addict, and has a horrible diet, and is horribly out of shape,

and already has pulmonary issues (as evidenced by his heavy breathing in pressers), and probably has a number of other health issues that we are not even aware of. If he catches this, he is not going to fare well.

[Niagara]

20. +1000

Boom!

[littlemissmartypants]

27. And thinks he's bullet proof. nt

[smirkymonkey]

29. That could be his Achilles heel.

The fact that he is so arrogant that he does not believe he could possibly contract this virus, so therefore he takes unnecessary risks.

It would be poetic justice if it was the thing that finally did him in.

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Meanwhile, he's a potential vector, silently infecting the rubes in his orbit.

Just desserts, imo.

2020 campaign slogan:

A vote for Trump is a vote for 'rona.

[DENVERPOPS]

41. And if it did do him in

There would be pot banging across this nation like never seen before. Sorry, but it's true......
He has set another new record, the ones he likes to talk about incessantly, the most despised man on earth. Period.

[not fooled]

23. Bwahaahaa

After making it clear that he doesn't give a rat's ass about the American people other than as cannon fodder for Wall Street, I find news of the outbreak in the WH strangely satisfying.

All of those ostensibly science-denying swaggering fools, now being reminded that you ignore science at your own peril.

[DENVERPOPS]

40. It would have to attack

something other than his brain or heart, since he has neither......If it goes after fat cells, he is a goner......

[ffr]

25. This is horrible!

For Nepotism.

[Grokenstein]

28. I'm not sure why Don-Don is so excited.

Why can't he just let it "wash over" him? Over all of them?
