Why feel the need to endanger his protection detail by making them sit in close confinement to him in an enclosed space, just so he can massage his ego by waving to the proud boys outside the hospital?

[Nicky91]

isn't this a bit too soon, i mean if you really got covid, you should stay in hospital (and especially as he is a president, more important than anyone else) between 10-14 days

You can always rely on Trump to fully display how much of a complete **** he is on a regular basis.

Utterly woeful behaviour, if Biden or any democrat did this, the Right Wing would be screaming for retribution non-stop (which would be totally fair, it's ****ing horrific to expose people like that) but because it's Trump, they are all silent as the grave, as usual.

Trump fans play Springsteen’s Born in the USA outside hospital without realising what lyrics mean...

Trump supporters are being sent up for playing Bruce Springsteen’s "Born in the USA" outside the hospital the president is staying in.

A small number of Republicans congregated outside Walter Reed Medical Centre where Trump is staying after catching coronavirus. They also played Lee Greenwood song “Proud to be American”.

However, it's the supporters’ choice of Springsteen’s 1984 track that has led to them becoming the source of internet vitriol.

Many are highlighting the fact that "Born in the USA" is far from the patriotic song the title has clearly led them to believe.


The song is widely believed to be a critique of America for marginalising working-class veterans upon their return to the homeland.

Adding to the embarrassment of the blunder is the fact that Walter Reed is a military hospital – not to mention Springsteen’s personal views on Trump.

In June, the musician called the president a “threat to our democracy” and said he “makes any kind of reform that much harder”.

“Do these people know that ‘Born in the USA’ was a protest song not a patriot ballad?” one tweeter asked in response to a video of the president’s fans playing the 1984 track.

“We're well into the fourth decade of the American right wing not listening to the actual lyrics of ‘Born in the USA’,” another wrote.

One person quipped: "I love it when ‘Born In The USA’ is played with unintended irony."

“Apparently, these seven people or so have never read or they don't understand the lyrics,” a commenter added.

Arista, thats not the point of contact tracing. People in close proximity to an infected person for more than 15 mins should be advised to quarantine and get a test ... and the WH hasn't done it with anyone ...

People might automatically disregard that vid because of who it is, you could make the same point by showing what some nutters have said tbh

I'm now falling into that line too.

If he REALLY had this, to the point of hospitalisation he'd have been near terrified of it
Not joyriding around and making extremely dangerous tweets.

He's an insult to all who've lost loved ones to it, or seen loved ones quality of life dramatically changed by it after surviving..

Horrible, horrible individual he is.

I've lost 4 people to this already.
That's my own evidence.
More than enough for me.

Why not ask TS and bots, don't just always jump on me.

Gotta love how the Right Wing is acting like fragile little snowflakes over people not caring whether Trump lives or dies when they were silent and/or encouraged hatred of the Squad, for example.

They act like life is precious yet the Right Wing has voiced support and provided financial support to Kyle Rittenhouse, a double murderer.

How many prominent politicians don't get online hatred? Has AOC faced a never-ending parade of death wishes? Probably not.

Can you see the difference between questioning whether or not he acted in self-defence, and wishing death upon someone?

All I see is people defending someone who killed two people and then getting precious over people enjoying the thought of Trump dying. The difference between the two is that the little white supremacist murdered two people, hoping someone dies is a lot less worse and less deadly. I just wished the White Supremacist wished people dead instead of actually killing them.

Also, AOC is a female POC left wing politician that regularly runs rings around republicans, she definitely gets death threats. A death threat is something more serious than a wish. Hoping someone dies, regardless of morality is just a hope. Telling someone you're going to kill them is a threat.

I just can't get precious over a wish, I know there's people that wish me dead and I just blow a kiss to them and tell them I'll live to spite them. It's meaningless, really.

He's not been proven as a white supremacist. If he is, he's the worst one ever - he only killed white guys, one of whom was a threat to him Outright murderer or not, I agree he should have stayed at home and should be punished for killing them. But it seems more that he was huffing his own farts and thought he was a hero defending businesses against the rioters, rather than a murderous white supremacist. If he were the latter, I think his kill-list would look rather different!

I didn't realise she was getting death threats, that's obviously out of order. I don't know how "good" she is at debates etc, she's just another politician across the pond as far as I'm concerned.

But the hope thing? The way I see it. not particularly caring is ... fine? He's not a dictator of a fascist/communist/caliphate/whatever state, so caring enough to actively want him dead is a bit much. But I don't know him, I'm not American, so I'm not desperate for him to live either.

I know there's people that wish me dead and I just blow a kiss to them and tell them I'll live to spite them. It's meaningless, really.

I really doubt that. Unless you build a friendship with someone, you're just a name on a screen. If anyone says they want you dead, they're either trolling or deeply disturbed and the issue is with them.
Edit: duh, it jist occurred to me you probably mean people you know IRL. None of my beeswax but it still says more about them than it does you

I don't care about the murderer's intent, he's a white supremacist and a murderer and, now, living proof of Right Wing hypocrisy.

Trump is responsible for 200k covid deaths in his own country and he shrugged when asked about the number and said 'it is what it is'. He also weaponised said virus politically and spread misinformation that would only jack up that number further. He's as responsible for as many deaths this year as your typical dictators.

Let's not even get into the human rights abuse. If someone hopes he dies or delights when he does, then that's perfectly fine with me because people died under his leadership, people have lost someone they can never get back just so Trump can blame everyone but himself for a crisis he basically allowed to happen. Trump's every bit the monster as any other fascist in the world and if people will delight in the prospect of his death, let them.

Why is he going back to work? He will give it to his workers, nasty
