Trump planning to host 1st in-person event since diagnosis at White House on Saturday: Sources

Source: ABC News

President Donald Trump is scheduled to host his first in-person event since testing positive for the coronavirus on Saturday at the White House discussing "law and order," despite evidence of a growing coronavirus outbreak at the White House this week.

The event will feature "remarks to peaceful protesters for law and order" by the president, according to an invite obtained by ABC News and confirmed by two White House sources familiar with the planning.

The gathering is scheduled to take place on the South Lawn of the White House in conjunction with a previously planned event organized by controversial conservative activist Candace Owens' group Blexit, a campaign to urge Black Americans to leave the Democratic Party, sources said.

You're right. Bloomberg was referring to "travel." This, apparently, requires no travel. PSPS Oct 2020 #7

I think he's gravely ill and, perhaps, dying. Why else would Pence cancel events to return to Washington today?

This will be easier for trump since he'll be closer to the oxygen tank and his own personal stash.

Would not be supporting this anal pubic hair crust at all. Only MAGGOT Brains. Refuse hospital beds for these suicidal mouth breathers. Somebody needs to take all that Hydroxy TAX payers were charged for. Yes, I said TAX PAYERS, no trumps.

The fact that someone isn't raising hell about it just shows how far we've gone toward accepting his outrageous behavior as the "new normal." Who is responsible for allowing this monstrosity to occur? Who can be complained to? What laws or regulations are being violated, and what are the consequences?

The people I feel sorry for are the WH support staff and their families. Will they get paid while being quarantined after Fat Donnie's superspreader event? Will they even be tested?
