Democrats launch investigation into Trump's Walter Reed 'joyride'

House Democrats are launching an investigation into President Trump’s treatment of the Secret Service during his bout with the coronavirus.

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, a Mississippi Democrat, accused Trump of disregarding the safety of his protective detail when he left Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a short drive in his limousine to greet supporters who were outside the facility.

Thompson called Trump’s Sunday night trip a “joyride” that risked the health and safety of the agents who had to accompany him on the trip.

“So we can know more about how these events have affected the Secret Service and national security, I have requested a briefing from the agency on the current safeguards in place for their employees — including on the President’s protective detail — and how Secret Service agents can be kept safe from coronavirus-related threats, including apparently the President himself,” Thompson said in a statement.

Trump tweeted that the trip was deemed safe by medical staff at the hospital. An attending physician also accompanied Trump on the drive and wore a mask and other protective equipment.

Trump also wore a mask.

Trump announced on Twitter Monday afternoon that he will be discharged from the hospital and will return to the White House at 6:30 p.m.

They need to first study why when he is transported TO Walter Reed there is no problem, it's only a problem when he LEAVES Walter Reed.

Trump is playing 3-D chess. These rats are suckers. But their voters are stupid schiffs and believe this crap.

Trump Adds ‘Black Lives Matter’ Sticker To SUV So Media Can’t Claim He’s Spreading COVID

The Babylon Bee ^ | 10-5-2020 | Babylon Bee Staff
Posted on 10/5/2020, 11:44:11 AM by servo1969

WASHINGTON, D.C.—In what’s being hailed as a 14-dimensional Go move, President Trump added a Black Lives Matter decal to his SUV so he can take as many trips outside the hospital as he wants, and the media won’t be able to claim he’s spreading COVID.

“Checkmate,” Trump said as he smiled and waved to reporters. “This is fantastic. Now, if I want to go grab a milkshake from the McDonald’s drive-thru — bam, Black Lives Matter sticker. Can’t touch me. Can’t criticize me. It’s beautiful. Tremendous, really.”

With his newfound freedom, Trump instructed his motorcade to drive around the city. The president waved at supporters — referred to as “peaceful protesters” — and stopped at the drive-in to catch Tenet. He even shared a bucket of popcorn with Secret Service agents, and not a single reporter was able to claim he was spreading the virus, thanks to his handy decal.

“Well, that was a bust,” Trump said as his Chevy Suburban pulled out of the movie theater to take him back to the hospital. “That didn’t make any sense at all. Did I need to understand Interstellar to make heads or tails of that? What a terrible movie. We should have seen Trolls.”

It a virus...maybe the agents have had the virus...maybe they will get it...maybe everyone will be exposed over time..

The President has covid-19 and leaves the hospital tonight.

Is Trump supposed to forgo secret service protection as long as he is contagious?

Does a President that has the flu or any contagious disease have to forgo secret service protection until they are no longer contagious or have permission from the Democrat Party?

Do they really want to go there? There were rumors that Biden would swim nude in front of his detail, including female agents.

And just like that, the POTUS became a walking breathing bio- weapon...

Surrounded by Secret Service prepared to take a bullet but not to catch a 99.95% survivable virus

I’m sure there are democrats and never Trumpers out there
who would gladly take a chance on Covid if it meant they
could kick his corpse.

POTUS Trump goes out to show his Supporters he is doing well and to thank them for their thoughts and Prayers.

The DEMONcRATS go crazy and add it to their next Impeachment Case just in case he beats their Candidate next Month.

Here is my shocked face. #:^O
