Donald Trump has damaged and besmirched so many American institutions that Walter Reed National Military Medical Center was maybe the only one left. And now it, too, has been sullied by a four-day stay that President Superspreader is rumored to be ending tonight. We can hear the deep sighs of relief all the way from Bethesda.
Sean Conley, the clueless, lying dude in the white coat who briefed the nation on Trump's condition over the weekend, is a White House doctor. But because he lied and dissembled while standing in front of the imposing doors of Walter Reed, lots of Americans probably thought he was representing it — not 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
We can only imagine how the Walter Reed clinical staff gasped in horror as they watched. And once Trump took his infamous drive past his lamebrain supporters on Sunday, somebody had to take the reputation of the medical center back.
That task apparently fell to James Phillips, a Walter Reed attending physician and GWU emergency doc, who tweeted late yesterday afternoon with indignant fury. "Every single person in the vehicle during that completely unnecessary Presidential 'drive-by' just now has to be quarantined for 14 days," he said. "They might get sick. They may die. For political theater. Commanded by Trump to put their lives at risk for theater. This is insanity."
(Secret Service agents were pretty unhappy, too.)
Longtime civil servants and others who work in the US government's Trump-abused departments and agencies must be on tenterhooks for November 3 to get here. After that, they'll hopefully only need to hang on until January 20, when, we all fervently pray, sanity will return. In the meantime, pushback to the Trump madness from people like Dr. Phillips is a joy to behold. We cats PURR.
