CNN airs shocking video of no social distancing and few masks at Trump rally in Nevada #Minden https://t.co/oDpNbC7VgJ

Trump's Nevada rally hasn't started even though he landed a while ago because the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority stood up for public health and refused to let him hold a super-spreader event in an airport hangar.

So, he's driving 50 miles until he gets to Minden.

Small victories.

This is not what it seems.

The first 100 to register at the booths in front, are supposed to receive (partial) refunds from Bannon's Build the Wall scam. 1000 can also buy cut rate tickets (credit cards not accepted) to 'Trump Unchained', an in the planning Vegas entertainment extravaganza starring Trump, the Trump family, felons and war criminals he has pardoned, starting next year on a weekly basis, to run regardless of the outcome of the election.

lol, thank you for that. Certainly fits with The Village People music.

I have not figured out the the motive of trying to get a lot of his most rabid supporters deathly ill, but it's clear it's a definite thing that his campaign is going to do now:

Trump is holding an *indoor* event with thousands of attendees today – no apparent social distancing. So some TV networks have decided not to send their camera crews and correspondents inside. There will still be a pool camera, per a TV news exec source. pic.twitter.com/JbsqSbcLSX

Attempt at splaining ir-rationality:

Apparently Trump’s campaign believes that since there were riots this summer it’s only fair that the president be allowed to kill some of his supporters by exposing them to superspreader events. https://t.co/tytAMEvDBE

The President rationalizing super-spreader events and Trumpers doing insane things because experts didn't want to criticize BLM marches was the one plot development I saw coming from way, way out.

Dear Tom, since when does the Trump administration pay any heed to "what experts say"? Trump does whatever Trump thinks is good for Trump at a given moment, his apparatchiks make up "whatabouts" and excuses later.
