Trump announces new campaign events after Democrats cancel rallies over public health concerns...

Looks like he's trying to wipe out his base before Nov..

President Donald Trump's reelection campaign announced Tuesday that he will hold an event with supporters in Milwaukee the same day Democrats Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden announced they were canceling events in Ohio out of concern for public health amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Trump has privately insisted that there be no changes to his schedule, despite warnings from health officials about large gatherings as the virus has spread throughout the United States. He said Tuesday that the public should "stay calm" because the coronavirus will "go away," though officials on the Sanders and Biden campaigns said they were acting on advice from public officials who were worried about convening big crowds during the outbreak.

I think the alarms need to be sounded, even for these troglodytes, for their own good, since they are in it and thus can't save themselves?

It's the right thing to do?

Now if only we had some actual way...

Since a typical rally has about 150,000 in an 11,000 seat arena, and somewhere around two to three million waiting outside.

from the orange anus irresponsible addictions...

Then I hope he'll catch the virus and sing kumbaya.

The Secret Service can't protect him from that (they better wear masks, gloves, and wash their hands).

Shows where his concerns are. He needs the funds from these rallies for his debts.
