The "downplaying" and the constant lying about the coronavirus pandemic have already been on display for all to see for months, and now have been verified by his own words. Meanwhile, upwards of 200,000 Americans have lost their lives because of Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump's depraved indifference.
As if more proof were needed of his sociopathic narcissism, just look at his most recent Nuremberg rallies in Nevada, especially the indoor rally this past Sunday, where he displayed his lack of concern for the health and safety of even those drooling dimwits in his fan base. Of course, his only concern was to have his fragile ego attended to while maintaining a safe distance from people -- they're simply two dimensional objects to him -- he couldn't give a shit about whether they distanced themselves or wore masks.
He's only concerned about virus spread when it comes to him:
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 more concerned about how close you are, to be honest,” Trump told a Review-Journal reporter who thought she was socially distanced.
Later, when she told Trump she had tested negative earlier in the day, Trump mugged that he felt “100 percent better.” (our emphasis)Remember, he's constantly tested, but wants to slow down testing for everyone else.
So, he knows there's danger, he knows the value of testing, and his flunkies know. But, he thinks it's still in his interest to lie about it, regardless of the costs -- and his gullible cultists don't seem to notice or care what the implications of that are. It shouldn't take comments like the ones above or scenes like this to have driven the point home almost four years into his regime:
Notice the big empty space on the right? That's where @realDonaldTrump "works" the ropeline. The white line tells him how close he can get to the crowd and still be socially distant. The crowd, on the other hand ... no such protections. The irony is thick in Trumpilvania pic.twitter.com/Nje8n9fwWb

These fools, like the Sturgis stooges, endanger more than themselves. But pleasing Dear Leader, sticking it to the libs and the "elites" are all the motivation they need to be his sacrificial lambs.
