His joyride today was reckless and irresponsible:
The Secret Service have been exposed a bunch of times because they have to advance his super-spreader rallies. There were reports that they were very upset on Friday that they’ve been treated so cavalierly.
As the virus spread among the people closest to him, Mr. Trump also asked one adviser not to disclose results of their own positive test. “Don’t tell anyone,” Mr. Trump said, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
Mr. Trump and his top advisers also aimed to keep such a close hold on the early positive results that his campaign manager, Bill Stepien, didn’t know that Hope Hicks, one of the president’s closest White House aides, had tested positive on Thursday morning until news reports later that evening, according to a person familiar with the matter. The Trump campaign said Friday evening that Mr. Stepien had tested positive.
The initial secrecy within Mr. Trump’s inner circle has created a sense of anxiety within the West Wing. Publicly, the White House has issued evolving and contradictory statements about the president’s health that has some officials worried about their own credibility.
“I’m glued to Twitter and TV because I have no official communication from anyone in the West Wing,” an administration official said.
He put out this video just before he risked the lives of his Secret Service in that hermetically sealed SUV solely so he could go out and thank the Proud Boys and other nuts who are gathered outside Walter Reed raising a ruckus all day:
He says he “gets it” now (after 7 long months of pain and suffering and over 200,000 dead Americans) but then he does another one of his dangerous, useless photo-ops by getting in a car with other humans while he’s in full-fledged COVID, with no N-95 mask.
It never gets better. It only gets worse.
