He posted a video before this ride promising a "surprise" visit to supporters outside.
This is just a publicity stunt in the SUV...and exposing all in the vehicle with him. CNN announcer is saying it appears he's going back to the hospital, not to the White House.
The Secret Service wore only N95 masks, not the full protective suits. Wish they would have refused this assignment. Selfish pig.
I sure hope they've assigned agents to cover him who have already had the disease, but this only feeds into the optics that he doesn't care about anybody but himself.
Update: He has now returned to Walter Reed. He did this without notifying any of the White House Pres Corps. He wore only a cloth mask.

(21,295 posts)and today Trump posts a video that he learned a lot about the virus. That statement should disqualify him from being president.

On a joy ride, waving at his worshippers while he is supposedly sick with COVID.
The information we are given, along with video footage of his actions just makes me wonder about reality.
Can this all please be OVER SOON!!

(3 posts)Seriously. It's feeling more like Kim Jung Un-land every day. Makes me wonder just what he would have to do to get forcibly removed from office. The thing they actually tried to impeach him for was SMALL POTATOES compared to everything he's done since. Ready for the "opposition" to get off their arses & put a stop to this.
We need laws that force infected people to quarantine along with a national mask mandate. This honor system crap ain't cutting it. We can be mad all we want but it does no good. And real legal penalties if you fail to isolate/quarantine while actively infected. This is a deadly disease with long-term complications for many people even if the infection itself is "mild" or asymptomatic. It shouldn't be optional whether you're the president or some pleb.

HOW CAN the hierarchy justify putting their people at risk for this SHIT!
