“They come within an inch of my face, sometimes,” the president said of the families of America’s war dead.
Top congressional Democrats condemned President Donald Trump on Thursday after the commander in chief suggested that he might have contracted Covid-19 from Gold Star family members who were too close to him when telling stories of their loved ones who died in the line of duty.
Democrats said Trump’s comments, made in an interview with Fox Business on Thursday morning, disrespected military families and shifted blame for his administration’s shortcomings on the coronavirus.

Update: 'He's the one that is making them sick': Trump's suggestion that he got infected from Gold Star families faces fierce backlash from Democrats (Business Insider)
WNU Editor: You can listen to the above interview and it is clear that President Trump is not blaming Gold Star families for his Covid-19 infection. He is blaming the fact that he is President, and his job is to meet people where he knew the risk of getting sick was always there. More here .... No, Trump Didn't Blame Gold Star Families for His COVID-19 Infection (PJ Media). This election cycle has produced the worse news media coverage that I have ever seen in an American election. It has come to the point where I say almost all of it is now being manipulated to push a political bias or agenda.

This is why, if your neighbor is a Leftwing journalist, you do not call 911.
If you hear scream of the journalist's wife being dismembered as she is being raped, you do not call 911.
If you have a fire arm, you do not intervene, the journalist will not thank myou and he will not have your back.
If you see a journalist beside a brokedown car in a hilly area with out cell service, you do not stop and you do not call.
You never help out a journalist out of a situation, if it requires physical force. That would be toxic masculinity. You might whisper a few words of encouragement, but that is all.
Journalists are the death of the West. The best the can hope for is a fascist/communist state replacing the West and that their services will still be needed.
In an interview on Fox Business, Mr. Trump described an event at the White House on Sept. 27 with a group of Gold Star families — those whose relatives have died in military conflicts — and said he had “figured there would be a chance” he would become infected there, because the family members “come within an inch of my face sometimes.”
“They want to hug me and they want to kiss me,” he added. “And they do. And frankly, I’m not telling them to back up. I’m not doing it. But I did say it’s obviously dangerous.”
Last week, Mr. Trump suggested that Marines and other service members, as well as police officers, might have infected one of his top advisers, Hope Hicks
There Parrot goes again.
WNU links audio of Trump's complete remarks, which refutes the Liberal smears and Parrot feels obligated to copy and past the smear from a liberal publication.
Parrot are you proud of your lies?
President Donald Trump has publicly suggested that he caught COVID-19 during a ceremony to honor fallen soldiers. It’s more likely he was the one exposing the military families to the virus.
Epidemiologists familiar with USA TODAY’s efforts to trace the contacts of White House officials say that Trump likely was in the early stages of COVID-19 days before hosting a series of events leading up to the ceremony for the Gold Star families on Sunday, Sept. 27.
Reporters have scoured photos, video, social media and travel schedules to identify and trace the whereabouts of White House officials, aides and those in their orbit who have recently contracted the novel coronavirus.
Aside from the president and first lady, so far the only others from the Gold Star event known to have tested positive are Coast Guard Adm. Charles Ray and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany.
By contrast, at least a dozen people who attended the announcement of the president’s nominee for the Supreme Court the previous day, Saturday, have tested positive.
“There are several other people who got sick, and the only thing that they had in common is that they attended the Saturday event,” said Jorge Salinas, hospital epidemiologist and clinical assistant professor of infectious diseases at the University of Iowa. “That’s the smoking gun.”

We could post a transcript of the presidents full remarks, but that would not be useful since you read at the "Dick and Jane went up the Hill to fetch a pail of water ..." level.
I've been meaning to check out your 1 book of poetry to verify this. I suspect that it is not up to the Carl Sandburg level, but more like Vogon poetry. I am not sure I want to put myself through such drek. A person could be good in one endeavor and not so good in another, but you are so bad at so many things that somehow I think the poetry would be what we come to expect of you.
NY Times? It has soiled itself with the 1619 project. IT has soiled itself with so much more as well. It has out and out racists like Sarah Jeong on its payroll and it does not apologize. Yet you read it like it was a religious obligation, which speaks volumes about you bigotry and racism.
CNN has had Keith Olbermann and has Don Lemon. It also has Wolf Blitz. You get you news from them?
You and Olberman should have beer together. That would be interesting. I would like to see the transcript. It would have to be translated from Vogon and have warning labels. It would be worse than Cthulhu.
I'm glad the editor shared this. With that said it would be a reasonable hypothesis that a member of the Gold Star Families spread the infection to POTUS and members of his team.
With POTUS and members of his team they are tested daily, and their contacts outside of work and while at work are closely work are closely monitored. Essentially With suck extreme precautions the risks are minimal.
In contrast, with the Gold Star Families it's going to be nearly impossible to vet or monitor all of them. Should the event have been held? I'd say a resounding "yes" for both political and moral reasons.
Moral reasons: to not properly honor these fanilies and the sacrifices of their loved ones would've been callous. In light of the fact that this disease poses no real threat to the overwhelming majority of us underscores the need to hold this event. Additionally Trump's experience with this should be a teachable moment for everyone. He was never seriously ill.
Political reasons: failure to hold the event dishonors the fanilies and the sacrifices of their loved ones. Failure to have the event would have resulted in vicious attacks from the media and Trump's political opponents. As such, the event had to take place. I'll reiterate this disease poses very little risk to the overwhelming majority of people. Trump's experience here is a teachable moment. Will people learn.

There he goes against 11:22. It has crossed my mind that as tone deaf and monomaniacal as you are that you might be nearly as progressed as Joe Biden.
It has been questioned as to whether putting Joe out in the campaign is elder abuse. I question the same thing about you. A TV is not a computer but until recently both used cathode ray tubes.
Yes, Elder Abuse
"later during a speech to a few supporters in Las Vegas, Nevada Joe Biden called for $15 million minimum wage."
Oh Boy: Joe Biden Misreads Teleprompter and Calls for $15 Million Minimum Wage (VIDEO)
China Joe might be onto something there. It might be a Freudian slip. He might know that Democrat policies will be so bad that the US dollar might be trading 1 million to 1 Zimbabwean dollar. So 15 million per hour might be an almost good wage.
We all know the score. Joe Biden is only as smart as his teleprompter.
I would like to amend that last post
Slow Joe was swift enough to correct himself.
He corrected to 15 thousand dollars per hour.
Okay, either it was Joe correcting himself or the little guy in his ear piece or putting the words into the teleprompter.
Maybe the problem isn't Joe. Maybe they have high school grads for interns?
Vladimir Putin told Rossiya TV this week that US Democrats remind him of the Soviet Communists.
He also said he would be happy to work with Joe Biden.
Putin knows a fellow socialist when eh sees one.
I can see Bernie Sanders organizing a river cruise on the Volga and socialists who read WNU jumping at the chance to cruise down the Volga with Bernie and meet Putin.
Many sloppy kisses with tongue.

Barr Tried to Charge Trump’s Deep State Enemies for the Russia Probe. He Failed.
Republican Senator Blurts Out That He Hates Democracy
(CNN)A defiant President Donald Trump resumed public events Saturday with a divisive speech at the White House, where he potentially put lives at risk once again, just nine days after he revealed his own Covid-19 diagnosis.
After being sidelined from the campaign trail for more than a week, Trump leaned into his law-and-order message in a speech threaded with falsehoods that was clearly a campaign rally disguised as a White House event, which again featured scant social distancing.
Trump claimed that if the left gains power, they'll launch a crusade against law enforcement. Echoing his highly inaccurate campaign ads that suggest that Democratic nominee Joe Biden would defund 911 operations and have a "therapist" answer calls about crime, Trump falsely claimed that the left is focused on taking away firearms, funds and authority from police.
With just three weeks to go until an election in which he's trailing badly in the polls, and millions of voters already voting, Trump is deploying familiar scare tactics.
Biden has not made any proposals that would affect the ability to answer 911 calls. As CNN's Facts First has noted many times, Biden has repeatedly and explicitly opposed the idea of "defunding the police," and he has proposed a $300 million increase in federal funding for community policing.
As at all of his campaign events, Trump's law-and-order rhetoric applied only to his antipathy toward Democrats and the left. He made no mention of the growing power of right-wing hate and anti-government extremist groups, including those who were charged this week in an alleged plot to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and instigate a civil war.
Whitmer had argued in a speech that Trump's refusal to condemn White supremacists and hate groups during the recent presidential debate had only emboldened those groups. After the plot was made public, Trump excoriated Whitmer in a tweet for locking down the state as part of precautionary measures to protect Michiganders from the pandemic.

NY Magazine is a total leftwinger site.
Mew York Magazine eponymously named at a city that you can no longer safely visit. Rick Moranis just got assaulted. If it happened to rick it would happen to you. Democrats have made the city that dangerous.
"On October 1, 2020 at approximately 07:30 am, Moranis was the victim of an unprovoked assault in New York City, in the vicinity of West 70 St, Manhattan. He suffered minor injuries to his head, back and hip. He reported the incident to the New York Police Department (NYPD) who posted security footage from the attack. The perpetrator has not been caught."
Barr has not charged anyone yet, because of the Eric Holder Rule, which does not have the force of law and yet people are following it. After November 3rd the flood gates open.

still downplaying the virus while avoiding his own possible contagion
Trump skimmed over the details of his coronavirus diagnosis, saying he felt "great" and showing no signs that he's been chastened by his illness or the danger he potentially poses to others. He thanked attendees for their prayers and noted early in his speech that he had been criticized for leaving the hospital in an SUV with Secret Service agents last Sunday to thank supporters standing on the street.
"I took a little heat for it, but I'd do it again, let me tell you. I'd do it again," he said.
"We are starting very, very big with our rallies and with our everything," Trump said, alluding to his return to the campaign trail. He has three rallies planned for next week -- in Florida, Pennsylvania and Iowa.
The President continued downplaying the virus, saying the US would "defeat it" and that scientists and pharmaceutical companies are producing powerful therapeutics. The vaccine is "coming out very, very soon," he said, even though the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said most Americans aren't likely to get a vaccine until at least the middle of next year.
And Trump continued to use the racist language the "China virus," noting flareups in Europe and Canada, but without mentioning the upward trend in new cases in the United States. "A lot of flareups, but it's going to disappear, it is disappearing and vaccines are going to help," he said.
Saturday's large gathering followed Trump's acknowledgment during a televised interview with Fox News Friday that he may have contracted the virus at one of the recent events at the White House. Trump gave an incomprehensible answer about his latest coronavirus test results Friday.
"I haven't even found out numbers or anything yet, but I've been retested and I know I'm at either the bottom of the scale or free," Trump told Fox News' medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "They test every couple of days, I guess, but it's really at a level now that's been great -- great to see it disappear."
CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta noted that the Fox interview offered very little clarity about Trump's level of contagion and said that if the President had a simple answer about testing negative, he would have given it: "They are being purposely vague on this, but I think they're trying to track his viral load," Gupta said on "Cuomo Prime Time."

In which case he would be proven right. It was probably a Gold Star family.
He knew the risks but to show moral support he accepted those risks to help out those grieving families.
Now that is a good guy.
How are people confident it was a gold star family? Because everyone in his staff is tested pretty much every day. So by process of elimination that leaves the Gold star families. And like Trump said. They get close.
