Secret Service Frustrated After Trump’s 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 agency’s 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 President’s 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.”

“It’s a situation that has prompted growing and more vocal concern.”


Said one current Secret Service agent: “That should never have happened… I mean, I wouldn’t want to be around them. The frustration with how we’re treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before this though. We’re not disposable.”

He's a narcissist, so he doesn't see other people as fellow human beings. They are all disposable. Doodley Oct 2020 #3

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.
