He has a bench of agents previously infected from his rallies. Perhaps they were with him. He just wants to be back at the WH in time for the VP debate on Wednesday. You watch. ---

I’d be happy enough if he lived past the election and saw himself lose. ---

It’s like he watched a bunch of those videos of drive-by birthdays from last March and thought a stunt like this would be cute. ---

His supporters don’t give a shit that children were taken from their families at the border, without noting who was with who, and never to be together again. I’m not interested in hearing what any of those fucking psychopaths think. ---

I forsee that when Trump emerges from this, which he unfortunately will, they’ll be back bragging about how either this virus is such a hoax that it barely affected the con man, or that the con man is so strong that he beat the China virus. Or both. They’re fucking psychopaths. ---
