Secret Service Copes with Coronavirus Cases
August 28, 2020 at 7:43 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Despite that, Trump has continued to hold large gatherings most dramatically at the White House on Thursday night, when he delivered his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention before a crowd of 1,500 people seated closely together on the South Lawn, with few masks in sight. The vast majority were not tested for the coronavirus ahead of time.

(170,963 posts)a lot of people cannot afford to throw it away. And to suggest they're collaborating with mf45 is ridiculous.
Blame the asshat, not them.

(17,781 posts)The Secret Service is the most uber professional, ultra nonpartisan organization in the federal government. These same men and women protected Barrack Obama against threats we cannot imagine. I've wished many times that they'd let their guard down for just a moment at precisely the right time, but it doesn't work that way in this country. It would be easy I'd imagine, since I'm sure they're treated like "the help" by the crime family, but they don't do that. They are not the Praetorian Guard or the brown shirts. That's the pack of racist thugs called Immigration and Customs Enforcement. An organization that needs to be gutted to the framing and rebuilt.

(127,308 posts)There have been far too many SS exposed and infected at mass gatherings held by the GOP.

(10,472 posts)He takes no precautions and is around people all the time. A positive 'rona for him would be a gleaming cherry on the shit sundae of his presidency.

(15,499 posts)He lies about everything, so he may have been infected and we'd never know.
Also, he's probably the one "body" that even the virus wants nothing to do with.

(14,849 posts)I don't think he could resist bragging incessantly about how he beat the virus because of how tough he is.
llmart
(15,499 posts)he would think it was a sign of weakness and being old and out of shape and compromised. Plus, it would make his "you don't need a mask or to social distance" stance look bad.
Either way, you can't trust him to tell the truth.

Mariana
(14,849 posts)Or to be more accurate, the Secret Service takes those precautions for him. No one gets anywhere near him who hasn't first tested negative. Every place he goes is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized first. Very few people get within six feet of him unmasked. He reall is at very low risk of contracting the infection.

(9,670 posts)Are they allowed to wear PPE when on duty or is this expressly forbidden by Trump? And if Trump is issuing the order not to wear a mask, for example, are they duty-bound to obey?
