Am I wrong to be concerned, with trump and pence running around, having superspreaders

As I keep wondering why they continue to do so, are they just stupid and seeking to rally their base, Covid be damned?

Or could they actually be up to something? Meaning, beside attempting herd immunity, could it be intentional? So that if they cause a huge spike in infections, could the orange ass then claim a need for a lockdown to the point of martial law?

I wish his base would wake up and realize he is using them, and stop showing up to his rallies.

Bonus for case #s & deaths. Wouldn't surprise me.

That pos needs to be dealt with.

He is off the charts on narcissistic personality disorder and he needs supply.

He needs those rallies to feed the giant empty hole inside.

He doesn’t care if the people get covid and all
Die.

He just needs them that hour to feed him.

Narcissists are emotional vampires. And he is simply feeding.

Any consequences after the fact literally mean nothing to him.

He’s moved on to the next group to feed.

I hope one day they answer for everything they cause. Their actions not only sicken people, it will likely cause health issues the rest of their lives. Our people and country are made weaker by all of it.

'With him, all roads lead to Putin'; as Speaker Pelosi stated. If so, who stands to gain from our nation being hurt by the idiot's pep rallies?

Trump has said over and over and over that the corner is being turned. He can't, in a week, claim its out of control.

are spreading the virus.

Since most of the attendees are their fans, they would not be intending to get people sick or dead. Not their own people. Plus, of course, Trump still thinks that the blue states have the most infections and deaths simply because that's what he wants to believe.

He has been exposed to covid but refuses to stay in quarantine, claims he is an essential worker so he can continue running around.
Even if he takes tests every day, a person infected with covid becomes infectious a couple of days before symptoms develop, and tests can turn from negative to positive about 5-7 days after a person is infected.
Yet Pence plans to show up in Senate where they are multiple elderly senators with pre-existing conditions.
