White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows brushed off concerns on Monday morning that President Donald Trump put his Secret Service agents at risk the day before, when the President had them accompany him during his drive outside Walter Reed Military Medical Center, where he is being treated for COVID-19.
Yeah, Trump doesn’t care about them so why should Meadows?
Well, whom should I believe?
A full-fledged idiot? Or these people?
Several agents expressed frustration to CNN at how Trump’s political theater, including the drive and his campaign rallies, have put them at serious risk of contracting COVID-19. “That should never have happened,” one agent told CNN. Additionally, “the frustration with how we’re treated when it comes to decisions on this illness goes back before” the incident. Another agent slammed President’s drive on Sunday as “simply reckless.”
Imagine if he’d actually been driving.
Meadows Dismisses Concerns Of Trump Potentially Infecting Secret Service During Joyride
“See, half the secret service is infected already, so we used some of those guys in the limo.”
The little people are obviously expendable.
To Republicans.
Mark Meadows should have arranged for a pope-mobile or an enclosed, bulletproof transparent box large enough for a stretcher or wheelchair that could be towed behind the limo. The enclosed space of bulletproof presidential limo is very hazardous and could put the president’s dysfunctional lungs and the health of the Secret Service agent and limo driver at great risk. Limos are very hard to disinfect on the inside. The pope-mobile could be easily sanitized and come in handy when the President has to be paraded for his supporters or transferred to the White House again.
Mark Meadows should resign. He already has failed to keep the Preshitident and his Escort safe and continues to show poor judgement and make awful choices.
RepubliCONS not giving a shit about someone else? Get the fuck out!
“They knew what they signed up for!”
I read yesterday that USSS agents used to judge their protective charges on whether or not they traveled over holidays, which, obviously, would demand them being away from their families.
Now they’ll have to judge them by whether their poobahs will make them ride in a hermitically sealed car while infected with a highly contagious, aggressively transmissible disease.
Fun Fact: All the USSS agents who accompanied him on his vanity drive-by — which should’ve been in a white Ford Bronco — will now have to quarantine for 14 days, away from their families, while they wait and see if they’ve received a possible death sentence.
OT, but wouldn’t it be apropos if Amy Barrett tested positive and was hospitalized?
Who anointed you the expert, asshole?
Meadows’ argument is that since the Secret Service agent was with the president on the trip to the hospital, it is fine that he also was dragooned into the joyride.
That’s it. That’s all he has.
So if you take a necessary trip with a contagious patient — bad news, now you’ve signed up for all the ridiculous vanity trips Typhoid Donnie wants to make because… Mike Meadows can’t reason his way out of a brown paper bag.
Well, had Chiselin’ Trump been driving, I’m sure that the drive would not have been wreckless.
Why make this statement? It is idiotic to argue that there was no risk … just insufferably idiotic.
My God these people are stupid.
Dry or wet.
Predicting this:: if he can wrestle his way out of the hospital, he’s going to insist on campaigning immediately. Maskless, natch. There’ll be no isolation or quarantine once he’s out of WR.
Just no way he stays ~7 more days in iso while Biden criss-crosses the country. The appearance of weakness and haplessness would be profound.
At first the GOP was simply led by a sociopath. Now it has officially become a party of sociopaths.
I think they have been since Nixon. Look at Bush Jr.'s administration, they were sociopaths, with a few exceptions.
If he packs his rallies, I’m wondering if there’s a downside?
