For 8 months Donald J. Trump, aka “the super spreader, lied about COVID 19. He ignored and dismissed the health advice of the country’s top infectious disease experts. He admitted playing down the serious nature of the disease. Meanwhile more than 1 million Americans are infected. Over 210,000 people have died. Now he has the disease. Or so we’ve been told.
Donald Trump has led the United States to an absolute chaotic COVID-19 disaster. Bandy Lee, Professor of Law and Psychiatry of the Yale School of Medicine is author of The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump. She says Trump is a profound danger to Americans and to the rest of the world. And she adds, “he will remain a profound danger until he is no longer president.”
The President of the United State acted recklessly. He put many people at risk by foolishly holding meetings, attending rallies, and fundraisers. Oh, he also attended the Presidential debate.
Super Spreader-in-Chief
Trump’s behavior has been stupid, foolish, dumb, ludicrous, laughable, half-baked, inane, pointless, irrelevant. You name it.
Trump’s senseless behavior over the entirety of the covid-19 pandemic has put the country at risk. More specifically, he has caused harm to people in his orbit. This includes his secret service detail (many of whom have tested positive for covid-19), his immediate staff, White House staff and employees, and all others that attended his rallies, and fundraisers.
On September 26, Trump held a gathering in the Rose Garden to announce the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Specifically, this was the start of a week in which a string of people who had attended this gathering tested positive for the coronavirus. Figure 1 is a photo of the gathering, with Trump and Barrett standing on the stage. Apparently no one who attended had the disease. Days after this meeting one person after another reported they tested positive for the virus. These included senators, the President of Notre Dame, NJ Gov. Chris Christie, White House officials including Hope Hicks, and Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. And of course the president and first lady.
In other words, Trump may actually be a COVID-19 super-spreader, or super spreader-in-chief.
Trump could be responsible for tens of people being infected, directly or indirectly. indeed, there is evidence that his denial of scientific infectious disease advice could have caused 40-50,000 deaths.
Hospital as a Show Stage
Donald Trump was admitted to the Walter Reed National Medical Center. Was it necessary. Was this simply a ploy to spin a different story about the coronavirus. Of course it was.
He spent three days in the hospital. He was given a multiple drugs to kill the virus, but as doctors have said, the kind of treatment he’s receiving can have very negative effects.
However, Trump has used this experience to turn COVID-19 into television ploy, and all of the major media outlets fell for it, hook, line and sinker. As you can see by the photos shown here, this entire episode was planned to create photo ops for use in the next month.
I don’t believe what he says while he’s hospitalized. He’s turning the hospital in a show stage. Trump has not taken responsibility for contracting the disease. He willfully put those near him in harms way. Fear was instilled in those who worked in the White House, and extended to the public sphere, especially while speaking to reporters. He spewed this message at his rallies. And he went on television to try and embarrass, threaten, and he may have spread the disease to innocents that attended a fund raiser at of his golf courses in New Jersey.
The Liar
Again, don’t believe a word he says. He blatantly said he’s thinking about the millions people who are dead from the virus. In short, no he isn’t. He’s thinking only of himself. He trying to get on your good side. Finally, don’t let him near you.
Trump has lied about the pandemic. This is well documented on this Trump COVID-19 timeline.
The hospital visit was nothing more than a plan for Trump is gain an upper hand with the way he has dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. On Wednesday is closest advisor, Hope Hicks shows signs of being COVID sick. Trump knew she was sick. She went home having tested positive. He attended two events with hundreds of people, most of whom were not wearing masks.
During this time, he was showing signs that he was sick with the virus. Remember, this man refused a mask. Trump never said that people should wear facial covering. He had the nerve to engage with people in close quarters without wearing a mask. He never encouraged people around him to wear a mask. What’s the big deal. Well the big deal is that the top infectious disease doctor in the Fa ederal government said he would trust using a face mask more than any experimental vaccine. Wearing a mask is a proven non-pharmaceutical treatment against the virus.
A Sick Man
In short, Trump is a sick man. Now he’s sick with COVID -19. Donald Trump has been nightmare for over three years. For the past 240 days he has refused to lead the nation out of this pandemic. Instead he has pushed the country into the worst health crisis in over 100 years. His actions have been criminal and evil. While thousands of people were getting sick daily, Trump was was telling us that things were going great with the virus.
He urged people to take a hydroxychloroquine. He said he was. Anthony Fauci, the leading scientist on the White House COVID -19 task force, said the drug was not effective against the virus. Then he actually recommended injecting disinfectant to kill the virus. As he said, “kind of a cleaning.” Here he is telling us about this treatment.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Trump is a COVID-19 super spreader. That’s been evident given the number of people who have become sick with the virus. Trump created an environment of fear in the White House. As a result, people were expected not to wear a mask. There is little evidence that social distancing recommendations of CDC were implemented in the White House. At all meetings that Trump appears, he doesn’t wear a mask, and doesn’t suggest that others should. Finally, Trump has used the episode this week end as a campaign strategy to get reelected. I think he used the virus as a tool in his reelection campaign. Do you remember some months ago that he walked to a church across from the White House to hold up (upside down) a Bible. Finally, Did he go to the hospital to hold us up?
Trump single handedly exposed more people to the coronavirus than most Americans. In fact, I don’t know anyone who has caused this much covid-19 infection. He continues to lie about the virus. He is using the virus now to divide people even more. He has the audacity to say “don’t be afraid of Covid.” He stood on the White House balcony, like Mussolini, and pushed his chest out, after returning from three days at Walter Reed. They didn’t really let him out. He left. My guess is that they were happy to see his backside. Trump is doing severe damage to health and well being of Americans by his cavalier attitude to the virus. After his Saturday Rose Garden shindig, more than a dozen people have tested positive for covid. Then today, nearly all of the military’s Joint Chiefs of Staff need to quarantine after an admiral tested positive. The White House is a hot spot. Droplets of virus spew forth each day, many carrying the virus. Staff members are afraid to wear masks. They are afraid of being ridiculed. Trump has created a culture of fear.
