Current story says: Trump concerned that aides contracting Corinavirus will undercut his message that the outbreak is waning.
Translation: trump very scared that if people who work for him die, it will be bad for him politically.
He is barely human.

Maybe the cleaning staff and chefs.

I'm hoping they stay healthy.

(31,170 posts)Some would probably feel like they were deserting their country...and they also serve as witnesses to what actually happened. I suspect some are keeping our side informed.

(65,010 posts)At least half of everyone there is just a working stiff.
They're not power people. They're just earning a check.
We know how we get when a conservative says, if someone's job is lost, go get another job.
Now, it's OK to tell these people the same?
I simply don't believe they're all on it.
For one thing, with this maladministration, there's no plan. They're operating on the whims of the day.
Everyday workers probably nearly whiplash!

(40,209 posts)I remember Tony Schwartz (author of The Art of The Deal), in the months leading up to the 2016 election, going on MSNBC and CNN with a look of panic in his eyes trying desperately to warn the county that Trump was nothing more than a dark void. He said that Trump had no soul.

(9,998 posts)He only cares that his grip on power is slowly fading, and though he does not realize or accept it quite yet, the end is near.
If they have but one life to give for him, then so be it.
JI7
(89,248 posts)The sadness he would feel if he does feel sad would be if it was inconvenient to him in some way. For example if they died of covid 19 it would be sadness over what the OP says. That it would hurt him politically .
I don't think he would feel the usual parent/family/friend sadness if Ivanka died who is supposed to be his favorite. He likes her because of how she benefits him . He likes to show her off . But I don't think he would feel sad over losing someone he loved because I don't think he loves anyone (other than himself maybe and even then it's in a disgusting way).
I said before that Trump would easily sell out his kids including Ivanka to save his own ass if he ever got into legal trouble. He would easily have them go to prison for years or life if it meant saving his own ass.

(45,806 posts)I wonder how the 2 staffers that got the virus feel about his comments? I've got to believe if there were 2 cases in the WH, there will be more. I also believe those voters who he's worried about losing are already thinking, damn, if the WH can't be protected, what's that mean for us?
Looks like DT has finally run into something that doesn't care if he bad mouths it, likes about it, or throws a bunch of tantrums, it's the enemy that's more powerful than HIM!

(23,097 posts)He has for the most part dropped his thin disguise of humanity and is now letting us peak to the vicious, hate filled & hated, stupid, profiteering, asshole he truly is. There isn't one shred of humanity in that ugly orange corpulent flabby body or shriveled by Adderall brain.
