Trump appears to blame troops and cops for spreading virus to his inner circle
President Donald Trump appeared to blame members of the military and law enforcement units for spreading COVID-19 to his inner circle in a Thursday interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity when he claimed that uniformed officials often want to "hug" and "kiss" members of his team out of gratitude for the "good job" the administration has done.
"You know, it's very hard, when you're with soldiers, when you're with airmen, when you're with Marines. And I'm with — and the police officers," the president said, not long after reports surfaced that top adviser Hope Hicks had contracted the virus. "I'm with them so much. And when they come over here, it's very hard to say, 'Stay back. Stay back.' It's a tough kind of a situation."
Trump, who the White House at one point claimed was being checked "multiple" times a day for COVID-19, told Hannity that he would undergo testing following Hicks' positive diagnosis. The president later disclosed in an early-morning tweet on Friday that he and the first lady had both tested positive and would quarantine for 14 days. (The diagnosis revelation became Trump's most "liked" and shared tweet, according to the Agence France-Press, accruing more than 1.2 million likes within an eight-hour span.)

...”Support Our Troops!” and “Blue Lives Matter!”...?
I've likened this to playing the old childhood game of chicken. Car comes at you, get out of the way. Car comes at you, get out of the way. Car comes at you... BAM!!!
