Why is trump having super spreader events still knowing its spreading this deadly virus?

[duforsure]

I think it shows that's been his intent all along , and knowingly spreading putins propaganda and disinformation on the virus , and on Biden when he knows its all false. A president during a deadly pandemic and economic crisis intentionally making them worse with a foreign terrorist , and corrupt dictator. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. All republicans have to go, period.

1. Gross, negligent stupidity.

[pandr32]

2. Because he is desperate

It also helps him raise money that he can loot from his campaign.

3. Herd mentality

4. Because he wants to ensure "herd mentality."

5. he needs the spotlight...

feeds his ego. Guess nothing else will do.

[mucifer]

6. Pure evil. putin wants as many Americans dead as possible. trump is more than willing to help

[sarcasmo]

7. Herd Immunity stupidity. I'm sure Scott Atlas is telling Trump it's all good.

[FuzzyRabbit]

8. Because Trump is a sadistic monster.

The more misery and suffering he can cause the happier he is.

9. Cult leaders always expect their followers to commit suicide for them

Jonestown, Heavens Gate, Trumpville

10. Because it's all he has, and the only thing he cares about: cheering crowds.

Dude has some of the most severe daddy issues in the history of mankind.

[Cicada]

11. His welfare is the only thing that matters to him

He has a cold malignant heart

Rallies help him. The cost to others is irrelevant.

12. He desperately wants, no, NEEDS the rapt adoration of "his" people.

It is what MAKES him.

At the same time, I believe part of his whole rational to become another Putin, or OUR president for life, involved a scenario that would allow him to TAKE OVER this country.

What would allow him to do that? What would allow him to declare martial law, "postpone" the elections (until he felt he could actually CANCEL them), while giving himself time to convince enough people that "only he can fix it", with "his" vaccine, of course?

A pandemic.

Which is why, although he knew it was coming, and that it was REALLY BAD, it was a "hoax". Spread by fake news. He did everything he could to PROMOTE its spread. He was dependent on it to achieve him becoming OUR Putin.

This is a stretch, even for me, but do you think, if he had the opportunity to do so, he would CAUSE it? There have been several mentions by news agencies that WE, the USA, have been HELPING TO FUND labs in China that were working on pandemics, possible sources, and possible responses TO pandemics, but TRUMP HALTED our participation.

Why would he do that?

Enquiring (sic) minds want to know.

13. Those who said "HE NEEDS THEM" were right. We've all read about how bummed he was when the

virus forced him to just do very small gatherings or depend on TV ads. His narcissist emotional makeup demands lots of attention just to enable him to appear marginally stable. I wonder if anybody has the ability to track covid19 cases by all those attendees? I have no idea how that coulkd be done, but it would be LOVELY to be able to announce that X-thousands of DT adorers have contracted the virus?

[COLGATE4]

14. Because he doesn't give a flying fuck about the atendees

They're only there to satisfy his ego. If they get sick, too bad. Sucks to be you.

[kimbutgar]

15. He needs those rallies to stroke his ego

They are the only thing that makes him feel good. He doesn’t give a damn about the attendees. They be damned. He lives on that adulation. Like a vampire sucking your blood saying everything will be ok.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

16. He gets off on the power. Loves that people will risk a deadly virus to see him in person.

Except for his enablers, he wouldn't have any power at all. He and R's in Congress are panicked. Together they've managed to destroy the Republican party. Good riddance to them.
