A Superduper Spreader?
Trump invites thousands to hear him speak from White House balcony on Saturday
Two thousand guests have been invited to the White House, according to a person familiar with the event, despite concerns about a late September ceremony in the Rose Garden that may have acted as the nexus for a viral outbreak that has ripped through Trump's staff.
This time, Trump will not be close to attendees. But the prospect of hosting another large gathering, even if not all 2,000 invitees do attend, as the contagion spreads has already generated concerns among some of Trump's aides.
A source with knowledge of the planning says attendees must bring masks and will be subject to temperature checks.

LisaL
(47,420 posts)He is doubling down on covid and downplaying it even more. Now he wants to meet 2,000 people before he even posted a negative covid test? He has learned nothing, and is now even worse than before.

(133 posts)if it was obvious to the world Trump is severely compromised. I mean, it's obvious, but maybe him collapsing on stage wouldn't be enough. In fact, it would probably take Trump threatening nuclear attacks against America to get him removed by his enablers. Probably not even then! They would just say he was 'misunderstood' or being 'sarcastic.'
