When Trump sheepishly announced he’d caught the Coronavirus, he declared in classic all-caps that he and the first lady would get through it TOGETHER! Now he’s holding more super-spreader events. Where’s Melania?
[Editorial note: The original article included a tweet from Trump’s Twitter feed. That broke when Trump was permanently banned from the site.]“TOGETHER!” How long did that last?
The Trump media machine filled our eyes and ears with the pictures of Trump walking out to his helicopter. Oddly alone. Then we got videos of Trump standing in his hospital suite, insisting he’s great. Alone. Clips of Trump joyriding in The Beast up and down Wisconsin Ave. Alone (except for a couple of pissed-looking Secret Service officers). Finally, the money shot: Trump returning and trudging up the White House Steps so he could gasp and salute, pretending he wasn’t gasping for his life. And again, he stood there alone (except for exposed aides, cameras, and a production crew or two).
And now we see Trump prancing around everywhere, declaring he’s immune to SARS-CoV2 or some such by sheer force of will, happily holding more super-spreader events. The White House is holding back any real information about Trump’s illness or current testing status.
Is there something we forgot? Damn, there’s just this nagging feeling we should be doing something…
I remember! Where’s Melania? I mean, no sign of the first lady. Did Trump forget her? Lost her in the couch cushions? I know the White House is pretty big. Did he forget about her during the helicopter rides? He does love flying over the little people.
But what happened to his wife, the First Lady of the United States? Does Trump have any concerns about his wife? I mean, where’s Melania?
