Donald Trump just floated the most insane reason possible for why he can’t infect other people with coronavirus
Yesterday we all learned that Donald Trump’s personal valet was diagnosed with coronavirus. This means Trump was directly exposed to it. Today we all learned that Stephen Miller’s wife Katie Miller has coronavirus, suggesting there’s a White House outbreak underway, and that Trump has likely been exposed from all sides.
Donald Trump should, obviously, be under quarantine for fourteen days. Instead, he’s not only going out and interacting with other people, he’s interacting with the most vulnerable people: very elderly World War II veterans who are pushing a hundred. Worse, Trump refused to wear a mask while meeting with them today.
When Trump was asked about this, he said this: “The wind was blowing so hard in such a direction that if the plague ever reached them, I’d be very surprised.” No really, Trump said this. There are almost no words for how delusionally insane this is. Trump really is that far gone.
