Was that Jr at the end commenting on having been quarantined for 4 months?
How, then? Hmm

I think it's funny......

Not just Junior and his gf putting others at risk.

At least eight Secret Service agents are currently holed up in a hotel in Phoenix, some suffering the flu-like coronavirus symptoms after coming down with the disease while preparing for a visit by Vice President Mike Pence, two people familiar with the matter say.

Last month, up to 15 agents who tested positive for the virus loaded into cars and drove themselves home, avoiding flights after becoming infected while preparing for President Donald Trump's campaign rally, according to another source familiar with the situation.
...
As Trump and Pence resume regular travel schedules after months of pandemic-induced lockdown, the risks posed to the large contingent of US Secret Service personnel who accompany them have become obvious as roughly two dozen agents if not more have tested positive for the virus, sources familiar with the situation said.

The health peril has emerged as a sore point for many within the agency, where sources describe a heightened sense of anxiety and anger over being put at what some view as senseless risk. One agency source said there is "growing anger and frustration" among some in the Secret Service at what they consider to be "unnecessary trips and exposure" because of Trump and Pence's travel.

"Even ardent Trump supporters are fed up," one agency source said. "We signed up to take a bullet for him, we did not sign up to get sick for him for no good reason."

In addition to the agents who have become ill, many more have been required to quarantine after coming into contact with others who tested positive, putting a strain on the agency's numbers as Trump and Pence continue to schedule trips around the country. Each trip requires multiple teams of agents, who work in shifts to ensure proper rest.

Yes. Kimberly just brings it to the middle of the family unit. Good thing he's not that close to his sons. Wink

BTW, have you seen THAT photo, which I refuse to share, of him near Mount Rushmore?
I've seen it by the WP and The Guardian. Just, why?

I know Trump likes to boast about how many million tests the US has done, but how many thousands of those are the daily tests to Trump and his immediate team plus anyone who is likely to come anywhere near him?!

Trump better pray there will be enough elderly voters there come November, then.

BruceAndNosh · 04/07/2020 17:10

Not that I wish anyone ill, but Trump won't take coronavirus seriously until either he or someone he cares about gets it.
Any chance Kim GillFoyle hugged Ivanka while in South Dakota?

TheSparklyPussycat · 04/07/2020 17:47

Lweji what photo? I have looked on the Guardian. Is it the one that looks photoshopped, or something worse?

yeOldeTrout · 04/07/2020 17:58

People are not talking enough about Claudia Conway for my liking.
Given this is a parenting website.
Discuss??!!

I'm torn between "Of course 15 yr olds are attention seeking" and OMFG.

I think I need to get a TikTok account to appreciate fully, too.

Lweji · 04/07/2020 18:11

The photo with all the heads, plus one. 🤮

I'm still amazed that those particular newspapers chose to use that photo (or similar). Unless it's to scare people.

Rushmore Speech makeup
I think it's quite clear why Trump doesn't want to wear a mask. Foundation is a bugger for messing up fabrics

@BruceAndNosh

This article is worth a read. edition.cnn.com/2020/07/02/politics/trump-presidency-leadership/index.html "Trump's approach to the presidency: Ignore the challenges and embrace the easy" It perfectly sums up how he doesn't like doing the difficult bits of being President but likes "being Presidential"
What other, closer to home, world leader remind you of?🤔
BruceAndNosh · 04/07/2020 19:28

That speech was awful. He realises that he can never unite the country so he's determined to create deeper divisions.
