His role is partly symbolic and important to the morale of the nation, so, he does not have the option to hide in a basement. Whatever you may think of him personally, he and his wife caught this virus while doing the job that America asked them to do. They deserve better than the nasty, politically-driven narrative that Trump is personally responsible for the pandemic and that the Democrats would somehow have handled things better. With the technology and resources available to him he does not need to travel and mix with large numbers of people; it is a personal choice. I agree his role is important to the morale of the nation; sadly he only thinks it is important to one part of it. He does have the option to hide in a basement, better yet, a very well equipped bunker which he has already inspected and has used before. He and his wife caught the virus doing a job that he wanted to do; America selected him from a choice of two and his opponent won the popular vote but not the electoral college. He is not personally responsible for the pandemic but he is totally responsible for the response (Truman - the buck stops here). I cannot stand him as a person but I wish him well for his recovery. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Credo Posted October 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2020 43 minutes ago, Trujillo said: The official reasoning for wearing a mask was to protect OTHERS from the potential infection the wearer might have. NOT the other way around. So it's disingenuous to say that Trump got infected because he wasn't wearing a mask. This is backwards from the medical advice. To some extent yes. A mask does lessen the risk to the wearer because it is capable of filtering out some of the droplets that carry the virus. I actually read an analysis of this which gave a % of reduction, but I don't recall the amount. The two things to remember is it will reduce the droplets a wearer inhales and will reduce the amount of virus inhaled, which makes a big difference in how sick a person becomes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sezze Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Karma is a bitch and it might bite back at any time. He's far from alone in this case , but since he's a president and leader of a big country , he's been watched big time . This will certainly lead to a safer (corona free ) world soon.

If he had taken this pandemic more seriously, had himself worn a mask, imposed the same to his supporters, instead of playing the arrogant macho, he might not be where he is now. By making short shrift of the protection measures he has indirectly contributed to the circulation of the virus. Hubris may be his downfall. Don't expect sympathy from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve better than the nasty, politically-driven narrative that Trump is personally responsible for the pandemic and that the Democrats would somehow have handled things better. To clear up any confusion a person outside of the USA might have regarding the above quote: No, Americans did not ask Trump to hold rally for his election campaign (advertising himself to be be elected another term.) And while doing that a) he is expending the time he ought to have used to govern the country (which he doesn't because he hasn't got a clue how to govern a country, ie a president's job) and b while using our TAXPAYERS money to foot the bill for such endeavor. That is taking money from public coffer for personal use and not doing your job. Two strikes, not one. If I do that at work, I will not only get fired but also face charge of embezzlement. I believe other developed countries also hold similar stance. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
