Trump Didn't Want Anyone To Know That He Gave Chris Christie COVID




Mr. Christie reveals how worried he and others were for his survival when he became infected with the coronavirus after being at the White House around the same time that Mr. Trump and several other aides contracted Covid-19. Mr. Christie writes that his priest arrived in the hospital and rubbed oils on his forehead in the sign of the cross, praying over him.

He got a call from a hospitalized Mr. Trump, who had one main concern: “Are you gonna say you got it from me?” Mr. Trump asked him.

Trump wasn’t concerned about Christie’s health and well-being. He was only worried that he would get blamed for giving him COVID. For the record, Donald Trump gave a lot of people COVID. There were multiple outbreaks in the Trump White House because Trump refused to require testing and masks, and Trump’s political rallies sickened many Americans because he refused to hold small gatherings and observe mask and social distancing guidelines.

Trump has never wanted to take any responsibility for the pandemic. The mess that the country is still fighting currently can be attributed to Trump’s refusal to impose federal guidelines to limit the spread of COVID.

It took me 4 years since 2016 to learn that trump wears a diaper and occasionally deficates in it while golfing. As much crap as he talks, nobody bothers to hit for it, they just let him talk crap about everybody.

Donnie certainly should be assigned a ton of blame for taking multiple actions that deepened and extended the pandemic.

Then while discouraging masks and getting vaccines and really anything meant to protect Americans from the virus, he organized super-spreader events and encouraged people to come.

Yes, those who chose to attend bear some responsibility for attending, but it's shared, and Donnie is the sine qua non here. He's the one who made the situation basically as risky as possible.

And of course, innocents were affected. Children without much say in the matter brought there by their parents, or family and friends back home. Honey, what did you bring me from the trump rally? Oh just this nice t-shirt and a bit of a fever....

The Slobfather is a pox on humanity.
Chris Christie had a choice - he should have said no. Ambition got the better of him

about Covid until he was infected. Also, by the time of the rally we knew how Covid was spread. Christie made a choice and he chose poorly. Christie band Trump are two peas in a pod.

...less than 2 days after he spent the entire day prepping Chump for his disastrous debate with Biden. Remember the debate where Chump wouldn't shut up the entire time? That's the one!

Chump already knew he had Covid before he went to that debate. But he went anyway and probably infected a bunch of people too.

Chris Christie got secretly approved for the antibody treatment that only a few lucky VIPs got, because he was really sick and might have died otherwise. Does Chump really think we didn't know this already?

No one in his party was tested either.
Then after debate a bunch of them were sick.

Honestly. I believe they see trying to give it to Biden.

And he's probably going to win.

If he wins NJ, no other scenario will help the Dem candidate.

signaled to me he was running for President in next election, and the media is all too happy to give him all of the free air time to softly campaign for it. It isn't the only reason why I just quit tuning in, but it exemplifies exactly why the media is corrupt to the core and should be regarded and remembered as our enemy.

The unhinged, unmasked and unstable moron, while asymptomatic, was sick and had failed to get tested and seemed to slobber and breathe as close to Biden as he could.

“It goes through the air, Bob.”
