'He's the one that is making them sick'

Six days after President Donald Trump suggested a White House staffer contracted the coronavirus from military service members and police officers, the commander-in-chief said he "figured there would be a chance" he would also contract the virus from attending a ceremony honoring fallen US troops.

"I meet a lot of people. I have to. I'm the president of the country," Trump said during a Fox Business interview on Thursday morning. "I can't hang around in a basement, so I figured there would be a chance that I would catch it."

"Sometimes I'd be within groups, for instance, Gold Star families," Trump added. "I met with Gold Star families. I didn't want to cancel that."

Trump and other senior officials met with family members of the war dead, referred to as Gold Star families, on September 27. The event, hosted by a charity organization, was also attended by Vice President Mike Pence, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and Coast Guard Adm. Charles Ray.

1. Has anyone heard of any infected Gold Star people there? But infection-riddled White House? Yes that

2. Why would they go

To the WH anyway? He’s not honoring anyone..the loved ones are photo props. They should never be forgotten but now, he’s blaming them for C19 infections. It’s been 4 years..will some ever learn?

3. Is that really what he said? What I heard is him giving an example of how a politician

can't really walk away from people without talking to them, hugging them, etc.

I get it's BS from trump because he cares for no one but himself, but I don't think he really pinned it on them.

4. "I'm the president of the country" Notice he doesn't say the United States

He just even bring himself to say the United States.
