Trump’s indoor rally

@Doctor-Phibes said in Trump’s indoor rally:
“I’m on a stage, and it’s very far away”
That pretty much says it all.
Yeah no kidding!

Trump could choose to space the seatings six feet apart. He did not.
It is surprising that this didn't occur to him while he was placing the chairs.

It pretty much says it all about you two, but it doesn't say a thing about Trump. He was answering a question regarding himself, not the others in the room.
Context is everything.

Those people went into that arena fully aware of the risks, given a mask for free. If they didn't wear it that's their own fault, not Trump's.
I would think that you would be aware of it as you have very close experience with COVID. For me, the issue with people not wearing masks, staying away from others, is that their actions not only affect themselves, but also can affect others.
I am sure that everyone would think it was crazy if I said that I was going to drive through a school zone at 100 kph. I know the risks, but I am a good driver, so why should it be a problem? Because, my actions can affect others.
(BTW, it is President Trumps fault. If he (or his aides) said that people would not be allowed in with out a mask, and if they took it off inside, they would be asked to leave. Airline companies are doing it and people I have talked to who have been on flights say that it is 100% compliance. Everybody wears a mask.)

A good leader would think about others in the room first.

If someone was saying that the only way to protect others was to cut off an arm, I would agree that it is asking a bit too much.
BUT IT IS JUST ASKING SOMEONE TO WEAR A MASK!!!!
As I said before, I would have more respect for those people who complain that their "rights are being taken away" by being asked to wear a mask IF they told me that while naked.
If they are so concerned about being forced to wear a mask, why stop there? How about shirts? Pants? Shoes? etc etc

It's obvious you weren't raised an American. Americans are born with a strong rebellious streak against anybody telling them what to do.
Asking is fine. Compliance is a whole 'nuther matter.
Trump's campaign asked. They even provided masks. The people who didn't wear them made a conscious and informed decision not to.

I bet most of these anti-maskers wear seat belts when they drive, without complaining. Yet, seat belts only serve to protect the wearer, as compared to masks that serve to protect the wearer and everyone else around. Oh and newsflash, masks and seat belts aren't covered in the Constitution, so this "rights" argument is just as bad as BLM claiming the first amendment allows them to block traffic.

I know, right? Trump pulled up the Titanic to the dock, asked folks to wear life preservers, even offered them, but it's not Trump's fault these people were putting themselves at risk. Of course, he could've not docked the Titanic.

If you want a true nanny state, join the group that pines for the demise of the Soviet Union.

People who don't wear masks at public gatherings aren't rebels. It's other people they're putting at risk. The word isn't rebel, it's asshole.

And in America, you can be an asshole, as long as you don't trample on someone else's right.

That’s nice, @Jolly, I hereby tell you to defend all of Trump’s stupid antics and vote for Trump.

Hmm, interesting. The fancy restaurant at President Trumps club has a dress code.
What do you think would happen if I had a reservation and tried to enter with old torn shorts and a T-shirt?
That's against my rights to not allow me to enter!!!!
I know President Trump would back me up on this! 555555

Are you aware that Trump had THREE DIFFERENT OUTDOOR VENUES selected but the democrat governor of the state REFUSED to approve ANY of them, and the reason they were in an indoor facility in the first place was because the democrat governor forced them to have no other choice?
Are you???
Of course you aren't. It's too much fun and a he'll of a lot easier to just mindlessly beat Trump up with it.

You know... the more I get to know you the more I become convinced that you are dumber than a box of hair.

I'm convinced. You (you know who you are) have convinced me.
I WILL NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP BECAUSE PEOPLE AT THIS HUGE RALLY DID NOT WEAR MASKS.
AAAAAND, TRUMP WAS NOT WEARING A MASK.Thanks. This was the most important issue, I just didn't notice it earlier. Unforgivable, he obviously would lead this country into a maskless wasteland, and our very existence would cease. All that would be left would be millions and millions of unused masks.
I came so darn close to making a colossal mistake.
Thanks! Really made me think about what is important, and what is not.
