Secret Service Frustrated After Trumps Joy Ride
October 5, 2020 at 7:01 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
CNN: Afterward, members of the Secret Service voiced escalating concern at what many of the agencys personnel have determined is total disregard for their well-being amid a deadly and highly contagious pandemic. Agents have tested positive for the virus while traveling for the Presidents political rallies, which he insisted on maintaining even against federal health guidelines. As employees self-quarantine or isolate in place, others have been forced to work longer hours to fill the void.
Its a situation that has prompted growing and more vocal concern.
Said one current Secret Service agent: That should never have happened I mean, I wouldnt want to be around them. The frustration with how were treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before this though. Were not disposable.
Washington Post: Secret Service agents aghast at Trumps drive outside hospital.

(90,788 posts)1. Trump doesn't care. Probably calls them suckers and losers too.
He thinks because they are there to protect him from harm that means it doesn't matter if they die or how they die (even if Trump is the cause) - it's their job.

To Trump, they are.
