Staff forced to risk health so Trump can travel

By Associated Press -May 5, 2020 11:20 AM

Experts worry that Trump is putting his staff, military personnel, and local and state officials at unnecessary risk.

For much of the last two months, Donald Trump has rarely left the grounds of the White House as he's dealt with the fallout of the coronavirus pandemic and sought to minimize his own exposure to the disease.

But that changes Tuesday when Trump is scheduled to travel to Arizona to visit a Honeywell facility that makes N95 masks in what the president suggests will mark the return to more regular travel.

The trip also means a small army of advisers, logistical experts, and security staff — a coterie of hundreds that includes personnel from the White House, Defense Department, Secret Service, and more — will resume regularly hitting the road again and taking a measure of risk to assist Trump.

Besides Tuesday's trip to Honeywell, Trump says he will travel soon to Ohio, to New York in June for the U.S. Military Academy graduation, and to South Dakota in July for a holiday fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. Trump says he's also eager to get back on the campaign trail, though he acknowledged during a Fox News forum Sunday that he might not be able to hold his signature big-stadium rallies until the final months before the Nov. 3 election.
