Trump admits exposing Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to Covid-19: 'He didn't care. He's from North Caro

Source: Yahoo News/The Independent

Donald Trump admitted to exposing his chief of staff to coronavirus by allowing Mark Meadows to fly with him to Walter Reed military hospital two weeks ago.

“He followed me. I said, you know what? ‘I just tested positive,’” the president told a rally crowd in Meadows’ home state. “He didn’t care. He’s in that helicopter. Hey, he’s from North Carolina.”

Mr Meadows did wear a mask on 5 October when he accompanied the president to the military hospital on the 15-minute flight to the nearby medical facility. He also stayed the entire weekend with the president. He was photographed outside as the medical team briefed reporters wearing a mask.

The president made the remark during a campaign rally in North Carolina, a battleground where he is in a dead heat with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden after winning the state in 2016.

and trying to posture it as "freedom" to his idiot base.

Or, he thinks that because he got it everyone should suffer.

I don't know which one I loathe more.

Or did he want to go with Trump? Trump’s making it sound like he exposed himself.

to strengthen his case for another 4 years, should the boss win reelection. Purely an economic choice.
