A buoyant Trump returns to a deflated White House
NBC "News" / Comcast ^ | October 5, 2020 | By Shannon Pettypiece and Josh Lederman

President Donald Trump attempted to claim victory over the coronavirus Monday as he returned to a White House increasingly hollowed out by the disease, with infections among staffers continuing to spread amid widespread confusion.

Upon returning to the White House, Trump took off his mask before posing for a photo opportunity as Marine One took off.

Back inside the West Wing, the mood was less triumphant. "Folks are dropping like flies over here," a White House official said. "S--- is very crazy."

Top administration officials have remained "confused" over the lack of information they are getting, said a person familiar with the situation. They described Meadows' contradiction of White House doctors over the weekend as "inexplicable."

"Literally no one knows, but everyone was furious," the person said.

None of the handful of staffers spotted around the West Wing on Monday morning had on masks, except for cleaning staff and the Secret Service agents who still stood at their posts along hallways.

But a number of staff members were seen in masks going in and out of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building adjacent to the White House — a significant change from the previous week, when, a staff member who was there Thursday said, no one had been wearing a mask.

“Folks are dropping like flies over here,” a White House official said. “S-— is very crazy.”

Can we find out who said that and to whom? Secret SErvice Agents also talking to the press now?

I mean, what the heck here.

We’re seeing these articles every hour. Another one released this hour has so-called coverage of Trump saying why would he want Pence as VP, calling him a loser. Laugh all you want, but this BS is going to take its toll by Election Day, partly to cover for the coming MASSIVE voter fraud.

Without names, this is either gossip or totally fabricated lies. In other words, it's NOT NEWS.

The only thing that is deflated is NBC’s credibility.

Wow! In my view not only is Pence like maybe the best VP ever, which is a rather low bar, but he is a competent and decent human being.

Having seen him debate, spar with the press, etc. he is tough and takes no prisoners. He gets right to the point without Trump's endearing habit of talking on 10 other subjects he want to talk about before getting to the point.

Due note the supposed comment from Trump occurred in 2016. I doubt you could force him to say that now, although that wouldn’t prevent the MSM from reporting some “source” saying it to be true even today.
