No plans for social distancing at Trumpys supporters raleigh, anyone attending will have to sign a waver that they will not sue Trumpy and co if they get infected with 19. Only in America.
I'm actually wondering if there is a secret clause that says we can't sue Johnson & co if we get it somewhere
Apparently the venue that he is using has cancelled all other events that it was meant to be hosting this month.
I hate to be that guy but I do feel a little bit of unease at all the hysteria around Trump struggling to walk down that ramp saying he is ill, I do remember when he held May's hand it was because he suffers from vertigo. This is not out of any sympathy towards Trump, its more towards the media circus that surrounds being elderly/frail, that being said what is pissing me off is the hypocrisy in how this is viewed versus Hilary Clinton having a minor wobble going to her car because she was tired from the gruelling affects of a long electoral campaign
^^^ I agree and I wouldn't even be so diplomatic about it.
It was a total non-issue. We all know how awkward it is -- even as young, able-bodied people -- to negotiate 'irregular' stairs and ramps. Like those ginger steps you take on an escalator that isn't moving, because those first few steps are irregularly spaced. Add to that the fact that the ramp was wet and I don't blame anyone for watching their step.
I think the story here is that the media (fueled by social media) is so bloodthirsty when it comes to Trump that it does more harm than good. If you report a storm in a teacup as if it is an actual storm, then it's no wonder that half the country doesn't believe you when you warn about the real storm that's coming.
It was the same thing with the "looting / shooting" remark. Granted, it was a stupid thing to say for inciting protests rather than calming them. But I am really skeptical that Trump had any idea that he was quoting a racist sheriff from the 1960s. But the media are so quick to pounce on any slip-up they just provide fodder for Trump's "fake news" arguments and "enemy of the people" slogans.
Trump's niece, Mary Trump is about to publish a potentially embarassing book about him.
Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it centres around what financial support he has given her or about how she'll gain from his will. I think he will not want constant questions about it coming up while he is campaigning, but let's face it, most presidents do often come up against some sort of narrative of this kind to discredit them when they are due for re - election.
If you'd read the article linked, you'd see why. Cancelling medical insurance, lovely stuff.

In 2000, Mary Trump and Fred Trump III sued to dispute the money left to them by the estate of Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump Sr.
They said the 1991 will was "procured by fraud and undue influence" on the part of Donald Trump and his siblings, as the family patriarch suffered dementia, according to the New York Daily News.
Mary Trump told the city tabloid that her aunt and uncles "should be ashamed of themselves" over the legal battle.
"Given this family, it would be utterly naive to say it has nothing to do with money," she told the newspaper at the time.
Mary Trump and her brother filed another lawsuit after their medical insurance provided by the Trump company was cancelled in apparent retaliation for the first legal action.
The case was eventually settled and details were not released, reports say.
Most presidents don't come up against this kind of thing, because most aren't amoral human beings.
If the US election was tomorrow - who do people think would win?
