And our winner for Dumber-than-Gaetz Sweepstakes is . . .

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) announced on Monday night that he had “possibly been exposed” to the coronavirus at CPAC as well but decided to go to work anyway.

But really–what sort of contest is this, when Gohmert is among the contestants?

Trump has likely been in contact with people reasonably suspected to also have come in contact with COVID-19 infected people. Trump has not been tested. He is setting an example for others to follow, and similarly refuse testing despite their contact with suspected or possible carriers. Many believe this is all a hoax, and Trump’s conduct reaffirms those beliefs.

Yet he says his response to the outbreak has been perfect.

Asking the obvious…so who was it?

He’s self-quarantined because of a hoax? Trump will be very mad at him for generating so much bad press. He may go out faster than the Mooch.

Trump is now documented as having been in close proximity to several people in quarantine. I’m betting he’s been tested and is being closely monitored. You can’t be too careful. We already know he’s very susceptible to hoaxes and reality makes his head spin and his blood pressure go up.

Just show me his face when he got the news. Was he all haha no big this is just the flu and blown up to cause Trump political harm? Or did he just for a moment wonder if he were going to die soon? Did he imagine himself gasping out his life three days from that moment in an ICU bed? Just keep making light of this, you grave-robbing ghouls. Keep following Trump down that rabbit hole in the face of MASS DEATH. Sounds like a plan!

Trump prefers people who don’t self-quarantine. It sounds too much like recusal.

Got me to thinking-- has any of this been on the running chyron bottom-of-screen on FuX yet?
Are they still denying it to their viewers at this stage?

I can’t even tune to the channel. So, if anyone knows…

So he is going to self-quarantine for one whole day. It’s underwhelming.

I don’t know what they’re doing but I’ll tell you what they’re doing: saying that people should certainly take precautions but yeah the perfidious Dems are politicizing it.

They should test tRump and while they’re at that, test him to see if there’s any brain function. I’d say it would be negative on that.
Lock him up!
Wouldn’t it be the perfect irony for all these admin creeps and Rethugs to come down with the virus?
