"President Trump took a short, last-minute motorcade ride to wave to his supporters outside and has now returned to the Presidential Suite inside Walter Reed," WH spokesman @JuddPDeere45 said

How many staff/USSS agents were potentially exposed to pull off this photo op?
Seven months into global pandemic that’s killed 200,000 Americans, Trump says he now “understands” COVID after contracting it, and then immediately gets into a car with a least 2 other people to wave at people

Good thing Pence will be on debate stage on Wed so he can explain why Trump put secret service detail at risk for a vanity ride. Have you no decency Mr. VP? cc: @KamalaHarris

Trump has gotten in a car so he can wave to supporters outside Walter Reed. As you can see from footage, this meant multiple agents riding in a car with Trump while he carries the coronavirus pic.twitter.com/FIk4CtApnu

WNU Editor: I noticed that the people inside the car were wearing PPEs. Is that good enough to placate the media and President Trump's opponents? I would say no.“...Now more than ever, the American public deserves independent coverage of the president so they can be reliably informed about his health.”

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.

Yes, WNU, just the "media". No one else. Just the "media".
ReplyDeleteGreat points, as always.
If the SUV is hermetically sealed chemical attack, then maybe the air filtration system is proof against chemical attack?
ReplyDeleteI swear they must get actors and reporters form the same barrel of bad apples.
Supposing the presidents ride has air filtration that can handle chemical attack, they obviously are not going to tell you how long the protection lasts or against what.
ReplyDeleteThe reporters could watch a grade B sci-fi film for the 1950's and get a clue. It would be better than anything they could come up with or research on the internet.
Exactly, CNN is about the level of outrage, risk is minimal.

ReplyDeleteWhat a grumpy bunch. Do we need a diapee change?
These people and their comments are tedious. Tiring.
Not nearly as tedious and tiring as your remarks are.
DeleteExactly, roll on Nov
DeleteGive me liberty or give me covid 19.
ReplyDeleteHe's not very ill. He's mostly as symptomatic qnd any symptoms he had were very mild. Were he not POTUS he wouldn't have been hospitalized. In recommending hospitalization maybe the medical team panicked. Maybe they wanted him to look bad.
ReplyDeletePOTUS is not very ill. His hospitalization sucked up valuable resources away from veterans who are seriously ill to serve an as symptomatic POTUS. This should be the focus of the mediw.
POTUS is deemed very imortant in the world. He's even been given the ridiculous title of "leader of the free world." For him not to take a trip around the medical center to ensure people he is fine would've been a dereliction of duty and a complete failure in leadership.
