There has to be the vehicles, the secret service agents, all the logistics. Is there no one that can tell this idiot "no"?

He considers himself an Emperor and his underlings must do what he says.

Makes me sick that he has likely exposed all of those staff people, Secret Service, etc.

That's what happens when someone from show business goes into politics. We saw Reagan do all kinds of photo ops.

Reagan knew how to get along with his opposition in order to be able to work with them. He didn't see eye-to-eye with Tip O'Neill, but they could at least converse amicably.

Trump is the fun-house mirror version of Reagan.

There were probably two dozen people trying to talk him out of it, but he demands loyalty and obedience no matter what.

my grandson is a junior at a major university...his apartment complex was prepared for this...the whole 4th floor is a quarantine unit...once the kids have tested positive they enter the building thru a service entrance and take a quarantine designated elevator to the 4th floor and they are not allowed to leave..so how come an apartment complex with a bunch of college kids has more damn sense than Walter Reed?...Donnie is a murderer..and it's ok if that dips hit exposes everyone in his wake to a possible lethal infection because he has a vampire's insatiable need for adoration?...

Then tell him to get back to quarantine and shut his spreader hole. Everyone around him should take this stance and stop this madness. This is insane!

This is not a hospitalization but a hoax-pitalization.
