Trump's latest photo op

[John Clark]

Yesterday we were treated with the spectacle of Donald J Trump, a COVID-19 patient, being driven around Walter Reed hospital in circles in a small hermetically sealed vehicle full of Secret Service agents and then returning to exactly where he started from and going back inside. Dr. James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed, had this to say about the stunt:

"Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential “drive-by” just now has to be quarantined for 14 days. They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity."
