President Donald Trump’s scheduled tour of the Braskem factory in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania last week was delayed, reportedly because workers were afraid that the event would put them at risk for COVID-19.
It is time for more entities to stand up to the bully in chief’s effort to have continuous propaganda sessions. Thank you to this factory and it’s leadership!
“President Trump’s top priority is the safety and security of the American people, and the idea that during this pandemic he wants an event of any kind that would violate our own guidelines to opening up America again is categorically false,” he said.
Your own fricking guidelines recommend wearing a mask when in close proximity to others, especially when indoors. Trump refuses to wear a mask. Your intention to violate safety protocols are a given before Trump sets foot out of the White House.
Trump wanted to be associated with them because these is the factory with the workers who got so much praise for quarantining inside the factory for 28 days to get the production done safely. No way they went through all that to expose themselves to backwash from the White House outbreak.
Marcus Hook is a heavy working class area in Delaware County by the oil refineries. The petrochemical connection presumably explains why the factory is located there.
["White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley rejected the possibility of Trump putting the workers at risk in a statement to the Post.
‘President Trump’s top priority is the safety and security of the American people, and the idea that during this pandemic he wants an event of any kind that would violate our own guidelines to opening up America again is categorically false,’ he said."]
I’m content with having Trump stop by as an inmate on work-detail.
