Trump couldn't even keep them safe? Or they dumbed down to please him? Either way, if Dems don't use this every day, starting tomorrow morning on every show, shame on us.

Trump caused death by negligent homicide, plain and simple.
I live in red TX. Going out today for drive thru, it felt like the day before 4th of July. Everyone in town out. Only saw a couple masks. People are really stupid. Yet if you had a leader encouraging safe measures, what a difference that would have made.

As experts in the field they should have insisted on wearing masks and keeping the required space between people at those briefings. If the criminally negligent Con and his goons refused to follow the guidelines, the experts should have refused to participate. Why should people obey their guidelines if they don't obey them themselves?

What makes me tear up though, is to see those precious 95-100 year old WW2 vets being negligently exposed the day after he finds out he was exposed by a valet. I will never ever forget that. My 98 yo dad is a WW2 vet. If he had the mind of years ago, he would be 100% appalled by that travesty.
