At the White House, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, and four aides in the press office are now all in quarantine.
And it doesn’t stop there.
“Virtually all the most senior-most military officers in the Pentagon are now quarantined and working from home … Starting with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff general Mark Milley, and the vice chairman general John Hyten, who was in charge of the military’s response to the coronavirus,” CBS News’ David Martin said.
Even the guy in charge of coronavirus response is quarantined! But it doesn’t even stop there – as I learned from David Fahrenthold:
“We had to pull our daughter out of a soccer match because of some contamination on the soccer team that began at the White House,” he said. “So we pulled her off the soccer team because someone on the soccer team was exposed to somebody who was exposed to Trump.”
But what you have to tell yourself is that the no-mask policy and the president’s videos are sending a message of strength to our adversaries.
Because our adversaries have to know that we don’t just have a president now – we have a president on STEROIDS. And if they mess with us … all he has to do is summon their ambassadors to the White House and breathe at them.
