'Imagine having a literal COVID parade': Critics react after Trump leaves Walter Reed to see support
Source: USA Today
WASHINGTON Doctors, critics, and other Twitter users reacted after President Donald Trump ventured outside Walter Reed Hospital Sunday night to wave at supporters, calling the move "reckless" and saying he endangered the Secret Service members riding in the vehicle with him.
Dr. James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed, tweeted that everybody in the vehicle with Trump should be quarantined for 14 days.
"They might get sick. They may die," he tweeted. "For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity."
"That Presidential SUV is not only bulletproof, but hermetically sealed against chemical attack. The risk of COVID19 transmission inside is as high as it gets outside of medical procedures. The irresponsibility is astounding. My thoughts are with the Secret Service forced to play," Dr. Phillips, who is also the Chief of Disaster Medicine at George Washington University Emergency Medicine, continued.

(296 posts)World stock market openings. Thus the attempts to cover up the severity of his illness. Trump is desperate to show the markets he is recovering and could be released Monday. A big decline in the stock market could sink Trump's campaign and re-election efforts beyond a chance of recovery. We keep saying it and every day Trump keeps proving how INSANE he really is.

Why are doctors at Walter Reed allowing this clearly psychotic person to wander out of quarantine to be the Marshall at the Covid parade for his brainwashed cult members?
He should be sedated like any other patient would be under these circumstances and forced to stop endangering the lives of others with his dangerous psychotic behavior.
They are his physicians and it is within their purview to declare him unfit for office.
What's next? Ordering the nuclear football to be delivered to his room so he can destroy the world faster? Who will say no to this monster?

This man just can't get it though his thick skull what quarantine means. He just could give a rat's ass how many other people he infects.
