Trump Announces He's Throwing Himself A 4th of July Party During A Pandemic

From the article:

Trump said:

The Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels crews who wanted to show support to the American medical workers who just like military members in a time of war are fiercely running toward the fight. It’s going to be great. I want to see those shows. I’ve seen them many times and I can’t get enough of them.
And on July 4th, we’ll be doing what we had at the mall, as you know. Last year was a tremendous success. And I would imagine we’ll do it. Hopefully, I can use the term forever. That was a great success, as you remember, even though it was pouring. It was raining so hard. It was raining about as hard as I’ve seen in a while. But it was an amazing success. Didn’t bother the pilots. Didn’t bother the military. Didn’t bother the crews we had there. We’re going to be doing it again on July 4th.

I have heard a rumor that Trump will also award himself the Award of the Golden Heel Spurs, with COVID cluster, for his perfect response to a crisis that no one could have seen coming.

Just give everyone else who may be forced to be there protective equipment.

Share the food and drinks, you know. Really get close with the bonding.

He lacks any response to empathy, (the reason I say that is that some new studies show that sociopaths have more empathy or sensitivity to others than we thought, they it just doesn't "bother them" like it does us.)

Let's see, many more scores of people will be mourning their dead by then, and he wants to throw a big bash to celebrate? That's not patriotic.

A truly caring head of state would be talking much differently and the 4th most likely would not be an appropriate talking point right now. That is tasteless and heartless. Plus, by that time we may be so mired in the Greatest Depression that July 4th will be more of a somber occasion for many reasons.
