Trump donors paid up to $250,000 to have a *buffet lunch* with him in the middle of the pandemic.

That evening, he disclosed that he had COVID-19. There are conflicting reports regarding whether he knew about the diagnosis at the time of the fundraiser.
====================================================
Oh, brother. If I was one of them, I'd be scared shitless. Fools.

1. A perfect, beautiful buffet... right Donny?

[Dem2theMax]

2. Imagine paying $250,000 to get Covid-19.

I bet they didn't even get a t-shirt!

[CrispyQ]

5. Man, they gotta be pissed! -nt

[brush]

24. A buffet? A buffet? They've got to be nuts. Buffets were the first...

things shut down at the beginning of this airborne virus crisis.

I don't get how grown ass adults are still doing such stupid things. The virus travels through the air and can land on food in an open buffet.

And all maskless and talking and beathing on the food as they serve themselves. Crazy.

[dixiegrrrrl]

26. I heard buffets on the cruise ships is what spread the virus....n/t

[Chellee]

32. Hundreds of people handling the exact same serving spoons.

I don't understand these people.

[brush]

33. Yes. It makes no sense at all. Repugs must live in bizzaro world...

where up is down and dumb is smart.

[LisaL]

7. The t-shirt that says "I paid $250,000 and all I got was this

lousy covid-19?"

[Dem2theMax]

13. YES! THAT t-shirt!

41. TRUMP A MURDERER

[temporary311]

3. Wonder if Trump was first through the buffet line.

Everyone who was there should definitely be quarantining and testing.

[tblue37]

12. Not probably. Definitely.

[central scrutinizer]

18. Probably double dipped.

Use the serving spoon to take a sample taste then stick it back

[LakeArenal]

4. Gawd no low low enough.

No sneeze guards I suppose.

[Heartstrings]

6. Was there a big, beautiful chocolate Covid cake? nt

[LisaL]

8. They had cheesecake (no joke).

NT

[musette_sf]

22. FYI Gov Cuomo sent him a NYC care package yesterday

with a Junior’s cheesecake.

Mmmmm... Junior’s...

[Heartstrings]

23. I agree....

Mmmmmm.....Junior’s!

[Frustratedlady]

9. How can you build a buffet around Big Macs and French fries?

Speaking of: I'll bet he's going crazy at Walter Reed if they don't give him his Big Macs for lunch.

[ihas2stinkyfeet]

27. hey. they have pumpkin pie now.

actually pretty good, too.

[cwydro]

10. Surely he doesn't have to get his own plate.

But dayum.

[brooklynite]

11. The salmonella probably killed off the COVID...

[Dem2theMax]

15. .

[underpants]

14. And Joe Piscopo was there!

[0rganism]

16. The Masque of the Orange Death

a tale of corrupt politicians, cheap eats, and lingering despair

17. Gah

Oh gahhhh again. Horrid. My sisters MIL passed in march. Had an outdoor memorial gathering in August. My mother knew this woman her whole life as my sis married into a family we knew.
I asked the arrangement. My sister said food made by relatives with some defeat in her voice. A lot of covid deniers. I said we would come, never take our masks off, sit near noone and not eat.

We were the only ones wearing masks. Thats all I have to say. I did what we said we would do and left. & worried for two weeks.

[BComplex]

19. He's still not wearing a mask in this picture.

WTF is wrong with this guy?

[dreamland]

20. This gets better and better, doesn't it.

With all that money, they can buy all healthcare they will need.

[DemUnleashed]

21. Stupid

These people were stupid enough to go without even knowing about Trump's covid exposure or positive diagnosis!

What are all these people thinking when they go to his rallies and luncheons or whatever??! They know they're going someplace crowded and they and others don't even wear masks! What the hell is wrong with these people??!!

[GeorgeGist]

25. Free junk food ...

no wonder it couldn't resist.

[Klaralven]

28. The "small group" would be about a 10 x 15' rectangular table setup.

Prior to the main event, Trump participated in an event with a much smaller group and a looser environment. Dr. Rich Roberts said in a video posted on the website The Lakewood Scoop that he attended the event and was part of the "small group" of roughly 20 donors that participated in a roundtable discussion on Iran, China, debate strategy and other topics. It was held at a rectangular table.

"Here was President Trump, and I was directly across from him, over one seat, and then it went out from there," Roberts said, adding that the president appeared in "top spirits" and "full of fight and energy."

29. great. a buffet. where everyone shares the same utensils and probably no one washes their hands

to prevent a "hoax".

it is like their go out of their way to do the most "germ spready" things just to make a point and "own the libs"

fuck all these people.

[LuckyCharms]

30. It probably had nothing but Happy Meals.

[ecstatic]

31. I only have pity for the wait staff and others who were just working

and doing their jobs.

[Ms. Toad]

34. He knew.

His own symptoms started Wednesday evening - at the latest. And he knew about Hicks' diagnosis before he left for the fundraiser.

[Ms. Toad]

35. Fortunately, this virus doesn't transmit very well via contact.

Still stupid, but only a fraction as dangerous as an indoor gathering without masks.

[LisaL]

38. I am starting to doubt that covid doesn't transmit well outdoors.

A lot of people who ended up infected were in front rows at supreme court event.

[Ms. Toad]

39. It transmits less well -

But remember they were far less than 6' apart, and the front row seats are always reserved for VIP GUESTS, who also attended a VIP session indoors - no masks, very crowded.

That reception is far more likely the super-spreading event.

[Hortensis]

36. By rights all should get what they paid for.

These people are supporting a holocaust and making down payments on the next one. Of course few will go down now, but all deserve to.

[crickets]

37. Idiots! If somebody made a list of ways to *try* to spread a virus,

this event would have ticked most of the boxes at the top. Gobsmacked. What the hell?

[Niagara]

40. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I certainly hope the wait staff were wearing masks.
