WH staffer describes 'a complete lack of empathy' during Trump administration for keeping workers
safe from COVID-19
While President Donald Trump and many of his aides were stricken with COVID-19 last year, the White House residence staff never stopped toiling in the background, according to The New Yorker.
For years, residence staff lamented the infrequency of events held at the White House under Trump, which included only two state dinners, compared with the six hosted by President Barack Obama in his first term.
Among "lifers," the staff members who have served multiple US presidents, a sense of "malaise" had spread throughout the White House, according to the report.
As the COVID-19 pandemic wore on last year, the desolation of the building was said to have only intensified. A staff member who was renamed Jason to protect his identity discussed the evolving situation under Trump.
"People stayed home," he said. "Everything from food service to national security - if it could be done at home, it was done at home."
