'Imagine having a literal COVID parade': Critics react after Trump leaves Walter Reed to see support

Doctors, critics, and other Twitter users reacted after President Donald Trump ventured outside Walter Reed Hospital Sunday night to wave at supporters, calling the move "reckless" and saying he endangered the Secret Service members riding in the vehicle with him.

Dr. James P. Phillips, an attending physician at Walter Reed, tweeted that everybody in the vehicle with Trump should be quarantined for 14 days.

"They might get sick. They may die," he tweeted. "For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity."

Will all apologies to Irving Berlin (taken from Easter Bonnet, fully admit I stink at music)

In your SUV, with the armor upon it,
You'll be the grandest guy in the COVID parade.
The MAGAs will swoon all over when you drive over,
They’ll be the proudest fellows in the COVID parade.
On the avenue the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're on the Twitter.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your maskless bonnet,
And of the truck I'm taking to the COVID parade.
