Trump bragging about his super spreader event

President Donald Trump bragged on Tuesday evening about the large size of his supporters who gathered closely together and with few wearing masks during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.

Trump tweeted an aerial photo of the event, which was held in Moon Township.

Here’s some of what people were saying about Trump disregarding CDC guidance and holding a large rally during the pandemic:

It looks like they herded them in and then moved the fence to keep them that way?

They see that as their best bet. They are attempting major voter suppression there (elsewhere too but especially there). This combined with the poll today showing two red states returning to form (Arizona/Florida) make me ill. Stupid people allow him to fail on public health issues and still re-elect him? Ughhhh.

4. If you listen to his rallies, he gets the biggest reaction when he disses someone or some group.

Then, when he gets into one of his pity-parties and starts cussing out the Democrats, they really get riled up. Democrats, socialism, "those people" and The Squad.

Some of his biggest applause is when he mentions Flynn, Ghouliani (huge applause, last night), not wearing masks, Hillary (why does he even mention her?), Hunter Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and, of course, Shifty Schiff. The ruder he gets, the more they love it. I saw young kids that were applauding some of the rankest of comments he made...10 years old, or so.

I think last night's rally was the worst I've seen, this year. I watch so I know what he is saying, certainly not because I enjoy them. I'm deeply concerned that his crowds are getting bigger, not smaller.

With masks and social distancing. Or, at least, that’s the rule for anyone not Trump.
