Trump rally attendees will have fewer safety measures than high-dollar donors

WASHINGTON — Top Republicans donors at President Donald Trump's two recent fundraisers had to have tested negative for the coronavirus, fill out a wellness questionnaire and pass a temperature check to be near him, but thousands of supporters who attend his upcoming rally will not be screened as thoroughly.

After declining to explain for days which safety measures, if any, will be enforced by the Trump campaign at the Tulsa, Oklahoma, event this weekend, senior officials Monday said hand sanitizer and face masks will be offered to all attendees, though not necessarily required. Rallygoers will also have their temperatures taken before entering an arena that fits more than 19,000 people.

At high-dollar dinners in Dallas and Bedminster, New Jersey, several dozen GOP financial backers had the costs of their COVID-19 tests covered by the Trump campaign and Republican National Committee.

There is no plan to test any of the supporters who attend the mega-rally in Oklahoma, where cases have spiked in recent days and the sweltering heat may complicate temperature readings. The campaign did not say what would happen if someone registered a higher-than-usual fever or what the cutoff would be for entry.

Wow, Trump does not even try to pretend that he is not treating his base like cannon fodder.

1. Of course,

they can’t get near him. He wouldn’t let them wash one of his cars.

Too bad they don’t understand that.

11. Only in Tulsa because Sen Inhofe might just get his ass BEAT by Abby Broyles.......

Absolutely 100% no other reason to show up in Oklahoma. He'll also show up in KC or send Pence because that Pat Roberts seat could easily get flipped to a Dem Senator in Barbara Bollier.

Neither of these races should be under estimated by Dems or the DNC.

3. Disposable People!

Use 'em, ball 'em up and throw 'em away! Seventy-five to a roll!
...Wait, whattaya mean you've run out?

4. What are they now, like half a year about where we should have from now.

The big problem is that there is little separation between them and us.

The bigger problem is “them” think that is is their duty to actually spit at us. To me it’s assault.

5. Mr. COVID-19 is rejoicing.

All that yelling and screaming will blow his virus particles right out around any damn mask and create a nice viral fog in the arena.

You could not pay me enough to be there, even wearing a Scott air pack and ear plugs....

6. "All Lives Matter" Well, not so much.

So much for All Lives Matter.

8. trump's "Spread the Virus" rally's will be a huge success

For people who are dumb enough to go to one of these propaganda rally's trump promotes, then realizes how stupid they were after they get it , or give it to others. Trumps a super spreader , and could care less about the people attending these gatherings getting the virus, and shows how little he cares. I expect these rally's will end up many people taking trump to court for this after people get it.

9. A bunch of screaming racists in a crowd should fill the air with a fair range of aerosols.

Oh well, live my the mouth, die by the mouth.

It's not like this convocation will have the best of humanity attending.

[House of Roberts]

10. I read that headline to mean

'there will be MORE high-dollar donors than safety measures'.

[Javaman]

12. "he treats like shit, because he loves us"

said the orange asshole supporters suffering from battered wife syndrome.

14. I know if I were a high-dollar donor to trump, I would wear a mask...

to hide my identity from the masses.
