Trump should have canceled 'reckless' N.J. fundraiser after COVID-19 exposure, Gov. Murphy says

Source: NJ.com

President Donald Trump should have canceled a fundraiser last week at his New Jersey golf club after one of his closest aides tested positive for COVID-19, but he instead potentially exposed hundreds of people at the event to infection, Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday morning.

“To have a group of folks coming in out of state coming in knowingly having been exposed to someone who’s COVID-positive is really, really frustrating,” Murphy said during an interview Monday morning on CBS.

“Nobody should have come to New Jersey," he added. “That trip should have been canceled. ... The trip itself was the wrong decision at every level.”

...

“This borders on reckless in terms of exposing people, not just in New Jersey, but it looks like with folks around the country, who have now scattered,” Murphy said of the event during a separate interview Monday morning on CNN.

Then all you have to do is get taxpayer funded $75K shots of stuff you've invested in, made with embryonic stem cells, and endanger the lives of the little people at your beck and call.

then campaign cash would not take president over human lives......

On the other hand, anyone who would travel to meet tRump and give him money would be strongly suspected to be a psychopath as well.

We have a lot of very sick wealthy people in our nation.
