Trump is 'clearly flirting with disaster' by holding rallies and not wearing a mask, health expert warns
CNN ^ | July 2, 2020 | Shelby Lin Erdman and Paul LeBlanc

President Donald Trump is "clearly flirting with disaster" by holding rallies and attending events without wearing a mask, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, who was an adviser to the White House medical team under President George W. Bush, said Thursday evening.

"Just because he's tested frequently -- (it) isn't a Superman cape. He can get the virus," Reiner told CNN's Kate Bolduan on "OutFront." "The more he flirts with this, the higher the likelihood that he'll get it." The President, Reiner continued, "is over 70 and he's obese. He probably has close to a 20% chance of dying if he contracts the virus." The doctor's message comes one day before Trump plans to travel to South Dakota for a fireworks celebration at Mount Rushmore, where those attending are not required to wear masks or to social-distance, according to the state's governor.

Yes...for his own good.

Looting and rioting still 100% safe.

Stopped reading after the word “Bush”. They have joined forces with the Romney alums to form a pro-Biden PAC.

So he gets the virus. He suffers through a low grade fever, a couple days of being really drowsy, then he goes about life as normal. Everyone will eventually go through the same thing, we can’t stop it by pretending.

Ahh now it all makes scence! He’s one of the George W Bushies that’s trying to sabotage Trumps election.

The President has worn masks when feasible. I like his sense of humor. :)

Trump ‘all for masks,’ looked like ‘Lone Ranger’ in one

“Experts”, eh?

Ex = a has-been
spurt = a drip under pressure.

And if PA Secretary of Health Dr. (Richardless) “Rachel” Levine is an expert we’ve got a problem:

That she/he/it doesn’t know which bathroom to use to relieve drips under pressure!!!

“My mask protects you.” not “your mask protects you.” These guys can’t even get their stories straight.
