Trump 'not at all concerned' about the safety of anyone but himself at his packed rallies

Jonathan Lemire @JonLemire
Trump said in his interview with the Review-Journal that he is not afraid of getting the coronavirus from speaking at the indoor rally.

“I’m on a stage and it’s very far away,” Trump said. “And so I’m not at all concerned.”

I'm not denying that truth, but Trump clearly only cares about what they can do for him.

14 cities that has had his merry band of morons.

as of Aug. 20th, according to the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), interviews with municipal officials and municipal records and statements show that Trump's campaign has not paid at least 14 bills totaling more than $1.82 million. The unpaid money was used to cover public safety and police costs related to the president's campaign rallies.

The 14 cities are Spokane, Washington; Billings, Montana; Mesa and Tucson, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; El Paso, Texas; Minneapolis and Eau Claire, Minnesota; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Battle Creek, Michigan; Lebanon, Ohio; Erie, Pennsylvania; Burlington, Vermont; and Wildwood, New Jersey.

the secret service that "they are responsible for his security" which means us taxpayers. I understand that he has SS protection but I don't see them being responsible for his campaign expenses.

The candidate running would mingle a little and shake hands with the crowd.
Of course trump isn’t doing that, plus he keeps at least a 15 foot distance from anyone.
Maybe, the dumbass’s at his rallies should pay attention to his behavior?

If he cared about his fan club, he wouldn't even be holding these things. He'd have something much smaller, like Biden is doing---rather than mocking Biden for having smaller crowds. Not only that, he's claiming Biden can't draw more, when, in fact, Biden is deliberately holding the numbers down.

If they were on a ventilator and Trump was next to them, he would unplug their ventilator to charge his phone.
