Is Trump still "not a civilian"? [View all]

The White House said Wednesday that President Donald Trump will not change his plan to travel to New Jersey this weekend despite a new order by the governor requiring visitors who have been in states with high numbers of coronavirus cases to quarantine for 14 days.

The president of the United States is not a civilian,” said White House spokesman Judd Deere, when asked about Trump’s compliance with the quarantine order given his travel Tuesday to Arizona, which has seen a rise in the rate of its Covid-19 cases.

So if you're not a civilian, what are you? And what are you doing if you are playing footsie with a dictator under the table while his GRU is paying militants to attack soldiers? Were these soldiers your fellow soldiers while you were playing footsie? Were these soldiers your subordinates while you were playing footsie?

I'm thinking Trump will want to revise that "I'm not a civilian" claim pretty quickly.
