Just the last point here, what he’s doing instead in doing this PR move to show his supporters that he is doing all right, he is putting the lives of Secret Service agents at risk. We saw at least two Secret Service agents in the vehicle the president was riding in. They were wearing n95 respirators, but that’s it.
Not the kind of protocols behind me at Walter Reed, where we’re told doctors going into the room to treat him, they are wearing the full suite of protective gear, which includes a mask, some kind of face shields. It includes gloves, protective equipment on top of their clothing. There’s some risk the president is willing to put the secret service atmosphere through in order to get his public-facing objectives.

Trump needed his ego stroked, so he had to get out in front of a crowd. Since Trump’s personal needs always come before the health and safety of those around him, he exposed Secret Service agents to the coronavirus, just so that he could wave to some people and pretend like everything is fine.
Even after getting the coronavirus, Trump continues to endanger the lives of those around him.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported:
Sen. Pat Toomey has decided not to run for reelection or for governor of Pennsylvania in 2022, according to two people familiar with his plans, a surprise decision by the Republican with significant implications for the state’s next elections.
He will serve out his current Senate term but won’t run for either of those offices, seemingly ending his career in elected office, at least for now. A formal announcement is expected Monday.
Toomey’s departure dovetails nicely with the end of Tom Wolf’s term as governor. The popular governor could run for the Senate seat, where he would be the favorite to win and flip the seat from red to blue. Outside of judges, Toomey is the only Republican statewide elected officeholder.
He was the party’s best chance at either keeping the Senate seat or retaking executive power in Harrisburg. It is possible that Republicans are set to lose both seats as outside of Donald Trump’s 2016 win, the state has continued trend blue.
Toomey’s decision is also a bit of handwriting on the wall. The political winds are shifting, and Pat Toomey sees the perfect time to go.

But if he ’ s not going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some level of recovery in his mid-70s suffering from COVID-19 with all the comorbidities , I hope the people give a landslide election to Joe Biden and we can get rid of him overall as president .
I want him to get well , but I want him to go to Mar-a-Lago where he ’ s better suited to be a greeter at Mar-a-Lago than he is to be the President Of The United States .
We need to keep the pressure on and remind the American people that he has made the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and he ignored the advice of epidemiologists and scientists , the result of which he couldn ’ t protect his family or his staff .
I want to say something about the white house staff , which is anonymous to most people .
Many of them are sick due to the dereliction of duty of the American president .
Trump should drop out of the race , but even if he is completely incapacitated , that is not likely to happen .

Transcript via ABC’s This Week:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Hasn’t the cavalier approach to masks and social distancing at these rallies been a mistake? Will it change going forward?
MILLER: Again, I’ll push back on that and say it hasn’t been cavalier at all. We take it very seriously. It’s why we give everyone coming to rallies or to events, we give them a mask. We check their temperature.
You know, I’d say that with regard to Joe Biden, I think too often he’s used the mask as a prop. A mask is very important, but even if he’s — he could be 20, 30 feet away from the nearest person and still have the mask on. That’s not going to change anything that’s out there. But, also, we’ve seen with — with Joe Biden, I mean, we can’t all just stay in our basement for the rest of our lives. We have to get out there and live our lives and take this on, develop the vaccine, develop more therapeutics, and defeat it.
Americans, George, want to get life back to normal. That is the driving thing in everyone’s lives right now. They want to get life back to normal. You can’t just stay hidden in your basement the entire time.

The Trump campaign is a national embarrassment. Joe Biden is the only presidential candidate who is able to go out and campaign right now because he is not in the hospital with the coronavirus. It is suspected that Trump got the coronavirus, not on the campaign trail, but at the White House event announcing the Supreme Court nomination for Amy Coney Barrett.
The candidate with health and vigor, who will definitely be at the second presidential debate is Joe Biden. Donald Trump has shown the nation that he is the candidate of bad decisions and poor health.

politicususa--2020-10-04--Trump Never Called Governor To Tell Him He Brought COVID Into Ohio

Ohio Gov .
Mike DeWine ( R ) admitted that Trump never notified him that he and his team brought the coronavirus into his state .
Jake Tapper asked on CNN ’ s State Of The Union , ” First lady and president and top white house picks have coronavirus .
A senior administration telling me they think the president got it was two Saturdays ago at the Supreme Court event .
Has the White House called and , if so , when , to let you know they were potentially carriers of the virus and did not abide by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great state of Ohio ?
” DeWine tried to dodge , “ I think the basic facts are pretty well known what happened.
” DeWine clearly was trying not to upset the White House , “ I wasn ’ t there for the debate .
I was there , you know , when the president came into Dayton and when the president came in Toledo .
Fran and I met the plan in Dayton , and we went up in the plane probably seven , eight , nine , ten minutes with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the debate at all.
” Tapper pressed , “ I know that , but they flew into your state of Ohio , and they likely were contagious .
They likely had the virus .
I ’ m glad that you ’ re okay , and I know that you weren ’ t at the debate himself and didn ’ t meet him around the debate but has the white house reached out to you to coordinate with the White House on contact tracing to make sure everyone they came in touch with whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or anybody from Ohio that they are paying attention to them and making sure that they don ’ t get the virus or if they do , them get the medical care they need ?
” Gov .
DeWine finally answered , “ Well , they have not reached out to me .
I know I talked to the CEO of the Cleveland clinic the other day who gave me an update , a report , so I don ’ t know whether they have reached out to Cleveland Clinic or not .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , no.
” The sitting President Of The United States brought a deadly virus into a state , and no one from his campaign or administration called the governor to offer to help with contact tracing .
DeWine didn ’ t want to answer Tapper ’ s question because he knows how bad it looks politically for Trump to spread the coronavirus in Ohio and show zero concern for the impact that his actions have on others .
The most damaging element to this story isn ’ t that Trump got coronavirus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so many other people to infection .

I’m glad that you’re okay, and I know that you weren’t at the debate himself and didn’t meet him around the debate but has the white house reached out to you to coordinate with the White House on contact tracing to make sure everyone they came in touch with whether on the staff of the Cleveland Clinic or anybody from Ohio that they are paying attention to them and making sure that they don’t get the virus or if they do, them get the medical care they need?”
Gov. DeWine finally answered, “Well, they have not reached out to me. I know I talked to the CEO of the Cleveland clinic the other day who gave me an update, a report, so I don’t know whether they have reached out to Cleveland Clinic or not. They have not talked to me about it, no.”

The sitting President Of The United States brought a deadly virus into a state, and no one from his campaign or administration called the governor to offer to help with contact tracing. DeWine didn’t want to answer Tapper’s question because he knows how bad it looks politically for Trump to spread the coronavirus in Ohio and show zero concern for the impact that his actions have on others.
The most damaging element to this story isn’t that Trump got coronavirus. It is that he selfishly exposed so many other people to infection.

White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows says he’s physically staying by President Donald Trump’s side at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to send a positive message to members of the military that the coronavirus “ is an enemy that we will defeat, and we will do that together.”
Meadows made the remarks during an interview with “Fox and Friends,” which you can watch below.

Meadows added that President Trump “continued to improve over night and is ready to get back to a normal working schedule” and that he “will meet with his doctors and nurses this morning to make further assessments of his progress.”
“We are still optimistic that he will be able to return to the White House later today,” he said.
The President faced significant criticism yesterday for leaving his hospital bed to greet supporters, exposing members of his staff. Many American voters are not sympathetic to Trump, arguing that he would not have tested positive for the coronavirus if he had worn a mask, social distanced and followed the recommendations from public health experts.
According to the latest Yahoo/YouGov polls, Trump’s rival, Democrat Joe Biden, leads by eight points (48 percent to 40 percent) in the days since the first presidential debate, during which Trump mocked Biden for wearing masks.

“Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential ‘drive-by’ just now has to be quarantined for 14 days,” Dr. James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed, wrote on Twitter. “They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity.”

Regardless of the election or the candidates , Florida can always go one way or the other .
But Pennsylvania polling has been very bad for Trump and is now nearing Michigan or Wisconsin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have set the president off today is the Monmouth University Poll of Pennsylvania .
Back in August , the numbers were close with Trump only trailing by 4 % .

politicususa--2020-10-06--Susan Collins: Donald Trump’s Stimulus Decision is a “Huge Mistake”

Earlier today , it was revealed that Donald Trump wanted to wait on passing a coronavirus relief bill until after the election occurs .
The president would like to concentrate on his Supreme Court nomination of Amy Coney Barrett for right now .
The decision will likely seriously imperil Trump ’ s re-election bid .
But he ’ s not in it alone .
The stimulus punt is also likely to hurt a number of Republican congresspeople and senators who share the ballot with him .
Susan Collins may be the most affected of all the incumbent lawmakers .
She @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have said that she won ’ t vote to confirm Coney Barrett in an election year .
The long-serving senator said in a statment , “ Waiting until after the election to reach an agreement on the next Covid-19 relief package is a huge mistake .
I have already been in touch with the Secretary of the Treasury , one of the chief negotiators , and with several of my Senate colleagues.
” Of course , Republicans in the senate don ’ t necessarily have to listen to the president ’ s commands @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in being vulnerable .
Lawmakers like Joni Ernst , Thom Tillis , Cory Gardner , John Cornyn , Steve Daines and even Lindsey Graham were likely dismayed by Trump ’ s announcement .
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi ripped into Trump and all of his GOP enablers on Tueday .
She said in a statement , “ President Trump showed his true colors : putting himself first at the expense of the country , with the full complicity of the GOP Members of Congress .

Trump rejected and took responsibility for rejecting a pandemic stimulus deal that would have helped millions of people before the election.
Trump tweeted:
Nancy Pelosi is asking for $2.4 Trillion Dollars to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States, money that is in no way related to COVID-19.

Donald Trump just rejected a stimulus deal that would help people and give him an accomplishment that he could take credit for, less than a month before the election.
The economy is not doing well. It is slowing down with unemployment at 7.9%, and experts warning that without an infusion of stimulus money to those in need things will get much worse. Trump is trying blackmail America into giving him a second term by holding stimulus money hostage.
However, Democrats, if they keep the House and win the Senate and the presidency, will pass a real stimulus that will jumpstart the economy.
The Dow immediately dropped 300 points after Trump made his announcement.
Trump just shot himself in the foot, and if he wasn’t doomed already, has taken another step toward sealing his defeat in November.

Kaitlin Collins reported:

Trump’s behavior has serious ramifications for national security as military members who were in contact with Trump are testing positive for the coronavirus.
With each new development in this crisis, Trump is making a case for electing Joe Biden. A president who is responsible enough to not spread a deadly virus to the troops is not too much to ask. Any decent human being who cared about other people would not put innocent lives at risk.
Trump’s COVID outbreak has now spread to the military at a time when the nation is already distracted by the pandemic, the election, and Trump’s health.
America’s adversaries are watching a nation in disarray as Trump has jeopardized national security with his selfish actions.

Legal Team for E. Jean Carroll Moves to Block Justice Department’s Interference in Case Against Trump

The legal team for journalist E. Jean Carroll , who last year accused President Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her in the mid-1990s , has moved to block the Justice Department ’ s attempt to intervene and replace the President ’ s private lawyers .
“ There is not a single person in the United States — not the President and not anyone else — whose job description includes slandering women they sexually assaulted , ” Carroll ’ s lawyers said , calling the Justice Department ’ s move “ another stratagem ” for Trump to “ avoid accountability ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within the scope of his office ” when he accused Carroll of lying .
“ The Justice Department intervened to shield Trump from legal accountability only after his state court stall tactics , procedural gambits , and assertions of immunity were all rejected , ” Carroll ’ s lawyers wrote .
“ Only in a world gone mad could it somehow be presidential , not personal , for Trump to slander a woman who he sexually assaulted.

It is done frequently .

“ His admirers can ’ t get enough of hearing that he ’ s rich enough , lusty enough , and powerful enough to be sued by and to pay off every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ comes forward , ’ so I can ’ t imagine how ecstatic the poor saps will be to hear their favorite Walking Phallus got it on with an old lady in the world ’ s most prestigious department store , ” she wrote .

“There is not a single person in the United States — not the President and not anyone else — whose job description includes slandering women they sexually assaulted,” Carroll’s lawyers said, calling the Justice Department’s move “another stratagem” for Trump to “avoid accountability” after they argued Trump was “acting within the scope of his office” when he accused Carroll of lying.
“The Justice Department intervened to shield Trump from legal accountability only after his state court stall tactics, procedural gambits, and assertions of immunity were all rejected,” Carroll’s lawyers wrote. “Only in a world gone mad could it somehow be presidential, not personal, for Trump to slander a woman who he sexually assaulted.”
Attorney General William Barr justified the Justice Department’s move a day after his department intervened, saying, “The law is clear. It is done frequently. And the little tempest that’s going on is largely because of the bizarre political environment in which we live.”
Carroll says Trump assaulted her in a Bergdorf Goodman store in New York City in either 1995 or 1996 and points out that the White House has denied it.
“His admirers can’t get enough of hearing that he’s rich enough, lusty enough, and powerful enough to be sued by and to pay off every splashy porn star or Playboy Playmate who ‘comes forward,’ so I can’t imagine how ecstatic the poor saps will be to hear their favorite Walking Phallus got it on with an old lady in the world’s most prestigious department store,” she wrote.
