It's Always Worse Than You Thought

The president had wanted to be discharged from Walter Reed yesterday, but doctors weren't okay with it. So the car ride became the compromise https://t.co/bwHty5jcaD

And as for following CDC protocols:

Meadows on SUV jaunt: "They're criticizing, 'Well, he put his Secret Service agent at risk.' Well, the Secret Service agent, how do we think that he got here? We came here in Marine One. The Secret Service agent that is with him, has been with him." Agent used extra PPE, he says. https://t.co/VQjAhELIpA

Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential “drive-by” just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.
