It's also of interest: the only ones required to wear masks at his rallies are those on stage behind him. Only when Trump is not on the stage are they allowed to temporarily remove their masks.

“I’m on a stage and it’s very far away,” Trump told the newspaper in an interview. “And so I’m not at all concerned.” aka fuck those people I’m gonna be fine.

And yet they will still turn out and vote for him?

Isn't THAT mentality a deal-breaker for his flock? At least for those in that audience?? WTF is it going to take??

He was right about one thing: he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose voters.

aka fuck you go ahead and die you worthless people and BTW please vote for me.

In a real world this should take away @ least 20% of his support but it won't.

Republicans like to preach about small “g” government and we’re approaching a quarter of a million deaths sacrificed on the altar of their ideal. Let the states figure it out...

It's probably because he doesn't realize it's a bad thing to say until people start reacting.

With a voiceover from the Woodward tapes about the Infector-in-Chief admitting the virus is 5x more deadly than the flu.

Clear as day that Trump only cares about himself.

Progressives and the Left needs to stop giving a damn about his supporters. They know what they are doing. They know the risks. They are cruel and evil. Stop caring about what happens to them.

Airborne virus will be carried along throughout the indoor space until it fills the whole area, at least as long as it remains in the air. And with all the shouting there will be plenty of virus particles to go around.

He might be right that he is above it though, on the stage, as it's not likely to rise. Who knows? He can be a guinea pig. As he likes to say, "We'll see what happens."

37. The most important thing to Trump
Tue Sep 15, 2020, 01:27 AM

is that he is the center of attention.

Nothing else matters.

Spectators are just stage props, cardboard cutouts would suffice if they could be animated in a convincing way.

Trump no longer hides what he thinks and feels about people. Suckers and losers, all of them!
(If you catch COVID-19 at a rally, it just proves it - a sucker for coming along, and a loser if you get sick.)
