Republican donors who attended President Donald Trump’s fundraiser at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club are panicking after being around the commander in chief hours before he announced that he was infected with the coronavirus.

GOP donors have been reaching out to Trump campaign and GOP officials for any guidance following the event, according to a person briefed on the matter.

“The donors have been texting and calling. Freaking out,” the person with direct knowledge said. This person declined to be named as the conversations were deemed private.

Trump’s campaign, as of Friday morning, has not sent out any official guidance to many of the donors involved with the event.

6. They were warned.

[machI]

7. The GOP will probably sell hats that say: I GOT MY VIRUS FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP!

The MAGA cult will consider it an honor to carry the same strain of virus Trump has.

12. Biden Should Make Them nt

[machI]

17. Something in the same vein as this?

[sfstaxprep]

35. Exactly

Or.....My Father went to a Drumpf rally, and all I got was this stinking Virus.

[CaptYossarian]

18. Since then,there have been more than 15 people just in the WH who

"Cause of Death: Democratic Hoax"

[ChicagoRonin]

10. "We'll let you know . . .

[Bengus81]

14. LOL..you polo shirt asshats have done other fundraisers there with NO MASKS

So what's the big deal?? Remember it's a HOAX and no worse that a common flu.

[CaptYossarian]

15. I wish I could edit the OP.

It should read "corona-in-chief".

He only commands the Proud Boys. Much of the military is pissed at him.

TCM is running "A Face in the Crowd" soon. This should replicate the same ending where the media king loses it all because of ego and a big mouth.

[NCjack]

16. "GOP donors have been reaching out to Trump campaign and GOP officials for any guidance ..."

I can help. You should follow the advice previously given by Mr. Trump: Gobble HCQ tabs and drink plenty of Clorox.
Don't wear a mask -- too late now. Visit as many of your GOP acquaintances as possible. They will be excited to see that you are doing well.

[mdbl]

47. you forgot the light stick up the rear, that is a crucial part of the regimen

you want to them to get well don't you?

[NCjack]

49. I forgot the UV lamp up the ass. Yes, they must do that also. Thanks for the reminder.

[iluvtennis]

19. why are you panicking...your "leader" told you it was a hoax. nt

[Dr. Jack]

21. Why? It's all just a Democratic hoax, remember?

No worse than a cold or the flu. It affects almost nobody. It will disappear like a miracle.

[stillcool]

22. they can't get sick..

does covid not know who they are?

[Illumination]

40. They're dumb f***s & anything's possible with that mentality!...

[stillcool]

44. Must be herd mentality..

I didn't realize it was that wide-spread. Quite poetic...the herd they cull will be their own

[Illumination]

45. Right! Like sheeple that follow him off a cliff!...

[KY_EnviroGuy]

23. Proves once again that wealthy does not mean smart.

Now, are they smart enough to start following the rules and contact-trace after that event?

[drray23]

25. Imagine that. Paying $250,000 for the privilege to get infected.nt.

[jmbar2]

32. I paid $250,000 and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt.

And the "rona".

[Raven123]

26. Didn't they read the coronavirus waiver before signing? A contract is a contract

[keithbvadu2]

29. Signature 1

[keithbvadu2]

30. Signature 2

[Illumination]

48. Makes good sense to me!...

[homegirl]

28. Gee, do you

think they issued STOP PAYMENT orders on those checks they wrote?

[LiberalFighter]

31. I have no sympathy for any of them.

They knew the safety protocols to follow.

[Marthe48]

33. if impeached traitor and henchmen are infected

and took the infection to the fundraiser, as it sounds like they did, his donors can be assured they'll only have the best germs.

Wear masks! Listen to doctors and scientists, not reality show con men!

[Midnight Writer]

34. The reason they donated is because Trump doesn't care about people and is ruthlessly selfish.

Now they whine because THEY are the ones he screwed.

Fuck'em all.

They knew he was a snake when they let him in the house.

[BComplex]

56. This! "They knew he was a snake when they let him in the house."

+++1,000

[Maxheader]

36. Stupid fuckers...

Stumps been toxic since birth...

[DallasNE]

37. There Should Have Been A Plan On The Shelf

That someone just had to pick up and read. But knowing Trump he likely instructed specifically that no plans are to be written up for fear of leaks and criticism.

[Illumination]

38. Really? How could they NOT know that he's like a super spreader carrier pigeon???...

[chowder66]

42. They should have more events to spread herd immunity. nt

[RogerM]

43. They deserve what is coming

They deserve what is coming to them. No shits left to give

[benld74]

50. They paid $250K for the opportunity to see their hero

PLUS
He was throwing out his infamous MAGA Hats to the crowd as well

Somewhere
someone
is
$250K lighter
and
Crying in their beer

as they BURN their MAGA hat

in their outdoor grill

[Earthshine2]

51. This is the natural order of things. It is natural selection at work. Bless mother nature!

The stupid and the arrogant can die off, or at least infect some others.

[Marcuse]

52. The campaign advises GOP donors to give now and vote early.

[truthisfreedom]

53. Here's your guidance...

You’re fucked.

[usajumpedtheshark]

54. I know exactly what they need to do

First, admit you are an idiot and culpable in the deaths of fellow citizens by supporting the Orange Idiot
Second, empty your bank accounts and give all the money to real charities for the poor
Third, give away all of your possessions and begin a 4000 mile journey crawling on your hands and knees.
If you're not dead by the end of your trip, you have been cured

[Progressive Jones]

55. I was raised to stay away from scumbags. That's what I do. nt

[Hotler]

58. Must be the doners that didn't give enough to get a free

ventilator from Jared. Which Jared stole from our stock pile.

[ck4829]

59. Kick

[orangecrush]

60. Karma

They unleashed this madman on us.

Now they can go down with Caligula.
