Yes, there are Clowns on the Left taking down statues of Ulysses S. Grant. But where there are clowns to the left then there must be Jokers on the Right. Today, they can all be found in Tulsa, Oklahoma for President Trump's first rally since March 2nd.
No masks.
No social distancing.
And be sure to sign a waiver relieving the Trump campaign from any responsibility if one gets COVID-19 as a result of attending the rally. I'm sure these jokers signed the waivers with gusto and a tablet of hydroxychloroquine.
But this could prove a hard pill to swallow. The danger of COVID-19 goes well beyond those who are attending the rally. COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations have been surging in Oklahoma and the rally is only bound to increase this spike. Then one must consider that attendees arrived in Tulsa from all over the country. Sooner or later they will return home. In which case, we could have a superspreader event on a national scale. As John Jay College professor and paramedic George Contreras put it,"President Trump’s decision to hold a rally in a crowded indoor venue is misguided. It sets the stage for a high-risk situation that can harm thousands in one fell swoop — not to mention their thousands of contacts."
To make matters worse there is another Trump rally scheduled to take place in Phoenix on Tuesday. And we aren't truly into election season just yet. Things are going to get much, much worse.
One must wonder though if this rally would be taking place today if not for the massive ongoing George Floyd protests which have also disregarded mask wearing and social distancing. Had those gatherings not occurred then Trump would be on far weaker ground to hold a rally. But the Clowns on the Left gave Trump and his allies ammunition. Which brings us to Tulsa, Phoenix and beyond.
Still the President of the United States should know better. President Trump knows, but he doesn't care.
