Please help me out DUers - - he's not wearing a mask behind that beautiful Resolute desk

because (to paraphrase) he'll be meeting with Prime Ministers, Presidents, dictators, kings and queens.
Which fucking leader of any fucking country is going to meet with him in the middle of this pandemic?

He is a raving lunatic.

Apr 2020

Why Trump waddled off the stage in the middle of a show as fast as he could, then returned 20 minutes later. He was sweating on his upper lip, it was white. He could not concentrate.

Not once have I heard this mentioned.

Why would there be a meeting in the middle of the show? Looked more like he had a problem.

His upper lip was white and sweating when he came back. Wouldn’t you think it looked like an urgent need?

I don't know if it's true, but I did read online about 2 years ago that he does need an extra wide chair
and staff has to provide one for him when he goes anywhere.

is when an expert is speaking, Trump tilts his head and looks at him/her like a puppy trying to understand what is being said. For a man who is supposedly very image conscious, he seems to have no idea how inept and ridiculous he looks and sounds.

He cares only about appearance and not at all about substance or the well-being of the public. He would rather burn through a precious resource like scarce covid-19 tests, administering them to all who come near him, than heed simple precautions of masks and social distancing

If he’s infectious, it doesn’t matter because he died t care who he might spread it to. No one else matters. No. One. Else. Matters.

And if he’s not infectious then a mask is irrelevant.

And if others are infectious and he doesn’t wear a mask and doesn’t get the disease, then he’s invincible. He’s Superman without the kryptonite allergy. He’s all-powerful.

This is about power, revenge, control.

Repeat after me.

He’s a monster. He’s evil.

Sat Apr 4, 2020, 09:48 AM
Apr 2020

Crazy, perhaps. But, I can't help but wonder if he's getting IV Vit C, IV nutrition, or ozone therapies, or something that is boosting his immune system or maybe even has access to plasma antibodies from recovered patients. Something that would help all of us, but we'll never get, because we're not important enough or the plan is for millions of blue voters to die and the economy to collapse (tRump once bragged how much money he made during the housing crisis). Disaster capitalism in full swing

I'm not saying any or all of those things will protect against COVID19, I'm just wondering if they know more than they're telling. After all, the US had people in Wuhan working with scientist at one point. Perhaps tRump is actually safe, rather than stupid. I'm convinced he is purposely making this bad to break the US. He's been destroying our country since he came down that elevator. Maybe, he is already immune.

At least, the smart people aren't. If there are meetings via Skype and nobody else is in the room I suppose masks would be unnecessary except maybe to set a good example, but His Lardship has never been known to set a good example of anything.
