I posted earlier about Trump's contempt for the safety of the Secret Service agents protecting him.

Here he is going for a pointless joyride in a hermetically sealed car with Secret Service Agents while he has the virus. Just insane.

As the virus spread among the people closest to him, Mr. Trump also asked one adviser not to disclose results of their own positive test. “Don’t tell anyone,” Mr. Trump said

I saw the Beeb newsreader just now refer to Dr Conly's presser as a "happy dance" .
He went on to lambaste the amount of misinformation generated around this debacle.
And right now, the Beeb are basically pointing and laughing at the dexamethodone vs the doctor's statements.

Kellyanne Conway’s daughter tested positive after complaining that her mother was walking around the house with COVID. And all the people in the vehicle with Trump while he went on that drive will need to be quarantined since he put them at very high risk. F all these assholes

Well @Grant I guess that answers your question on if this guy will learn from this incident. Still acting irresponsibly because he is incapabable of learning.

And people moan about how all this hatred for Trump is irrational... :rolleyes:
It is irrational.

People determine their own level of risk tolerance. I would wager that someone who is willing to jump in the way of a mostly peaceful bullet by a tolerant leftist would also be willing to sit in a car with someone who has a mild case of a disease with a 99.6% recovery rate.

The "compassion" I am seeing from people like you is stripping agency from secret service agents.

They are the sort of people who put themselves in harm's way, that is who they are. Any normal person who is in a position where people are expected to put their lives on the line for his own safety would not expose them to extra unnecessary risk just so he could wave at people.

Yes, rietie, some "spoil brat" got infected with a potentially deadly disease because her own mother denied testing positive and didn't admit this to her family.

Let's all blame the "spoil brat"
Maybe the spoiled brad should get their own house.

Were they forced to get in the car at gunpoint? They were not.
They probably just put on a mask and did it.

Now if you really want the question, it is why the US taxpayer should be forced pay for the security of its politicians such that they can be reckless. But that won't happen because statists think that people don't really deserve all their money.

There is an expression in the US air force, "never refuse a combat assignment", the gist is that danger is part of the game and combat experience is the way to advancement up the ranks. Am sure it's very similar in the secret service, they would never refuse to protect the president regardless of what poor decisions he makes. It's Trump who is being a d***head by abusing their sense of duty and putting them at risk when there is no need for it...
