Trump holding event at WH tomorrow: "The Age of Insanity"

[madaboutharry]

This is totally insane.

He is having a gathering in the exact same place he held a super spreader event two weeks ago to the day.

He is not even 10 days out from his positive test.

He refuses to tell us when he had his last negative test, not since his release from the hospital nor from before his positive test.

1. A Campaign rally at the people's house is outrageous!

Just sickening!

[SheltieLover]

14. Likely also highly illegal!

Add that to the list of charges.

On the up side, maybe all those repukes who weren't infected at the last typhoid shitstain event will have another chance. Such a shame this pandemic does not discriminate to target only those who are in denial and careless.

2. From the NYT

President Trump is planning to host hundreds of people on the South Lawn of the White House on Saturday for his first in-person event since he announced he had tested positive for the coronavirus, three people familiar with the plans said on Friday.

The president was expected to make remarks from one of the balconies at the White House to the crowd, which was expected to include people attending an event elsewhere in Washington staged by a Trump supporter, Candace Owens, one of the people familiar with the plans said. The event, which was first reported by ABC News, continues Mr. Trump’s pattern of using the White House for political events, as he did with his Republican National Convention speech.

Some in the White House and on the Trump campaign expressed concern about what the president might say in his remarks at the Saturday event, and feared the entire event would serve to underscore existing criticism that Mr. Trump has been cavalier about a virus that has killed over 210,000 Americans.

My guess is no one in the audience will be wearing masks.

5. This:

"The president was expected to make remarks from one of the balconies at the White House....."

Trump has developed a love of balconies. Just like the dictators and authoritarians he admires.

[demosincebirth]

11. He must love Mussolini. He might even s cross his arms

[musette_sf]

8. "from one of the balconies"

[Crunchy Frog]

10. If people in the campaign are worried. Then I'm happy.

[SheltieLover]

15. who in the actual f*ck would show up for this?

Paging Karma for clean up at WH please!

[SheltieLover]

17. who in the actual f*ck would show up for this?

Paging Karma for clean up at WH please!

[wryter2000]

3. Anyone who shows up

gets what they deserve.

[onecaliberal]

4. They absolutely deserve what they get.

[smirkymonkey]

13. I agree.

They know what they are getting in to. At this point, it's on them. Still, he is a maniac who should be locked up.

[wryter2000]

19. For his own protection

What are his idiot children thinking?

[procon]

6. Trump must be testing positive.

I'm thinking he can't leave the WH grounds because he's still testing positives and that would ban him from most cities.

This would be the most likely explanation about his lack of straight information about his tests.

While Trump can't go out, he can sure open the gates and invite all his white supremacist pals, the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Boys, Neo Nazis, rightwing militias, and various anarchists. They don't wear masks or do social distancing anyway so everyone will be fine herded together like cattle in the meat packers corral.

With any luck Trump will host his backyard rally and infect many of those very fine people and give them the dire future that he escaped... So far.

[Crunchy Frog]

12. Apparently no one was willing to set up or work on an event,

away from the White House so he had to change his plans.

[Crunchy Frog]

7. Well I sure won't be there.

I'm not going to get upset if some of his followers have a death wish.

[Squinch]

9. I thought he said earlier today that he was cancelling events for this weekend??

[SheltieLover]

16. Has he canceled his "live" faux news physical for tonight?

Yuk...

And that doctor that is assuring everyone chumputin is well enough to be out and about...

[sunonmars]

18. Do they not realise how this will look to the ordinary person,its 2 fingers up at all those who died

It just boggles the mind that they think this will sit well with the US public.

Its like literally off the scale WTF.

[0rganism]

20. wait, his event is titled "The Age of Insanity"?

i don't even... wtaf.
this irresponsible lunacy needs to stop.

[struggle4progress]

21. "Get your personal coronavirus absolutely free! It's a gift that keeps on giving!

Paid for by the Committee to Re-elect The President"

[bluestarone]

22. The type of people that show up for this should

Get a un-removable stamp on their forehead showing that they refuse treatment at ANY hospital, because of their fucking choice!!

[stillcool]

23. should be interesting to see..

if the guests at the Cootie House will be wearing masks or social distancing.
